Just tried the photomode

The pictures are .png so the file sizes are around the 3MB mark with a default res of 1280x720

- Problems, they're too dark (I had to up the levels in PS) and they're very jaggie. Hopefully, this is improved in any future patch along with added gameplay/replay screen capture. 👍
 
OK from a quick look the patch appears to be doing (off-line anyway) what it says on the tin, gear indicator in place, photo mode works, frame rate drops have been improved but not totally fixed.

HOWEVER (and yes caps was deliberate) trophies.

Now I had already figured they were not retrospective, so I thought I would try a quick one, 'The Graduate' complete the Tutorial and 'Hot Shot' 75% in all Tutorial categories, no problem at all.

Problem is, if you have already done them, repeating them doesn't give you a trophy. Hmmm, is it a bug or do we actually need to start again. Well I haven't played in quite a while so I have bitten the bullet and deleted my original save. I started again and once the Tutorial was finished for the first time I got my 'The Graduate' trophy.

Now this is going to be quite a pain for a lot of you, who I know had gotten a long way into it.

Just wanted to give a heads up on this one.

The resolution or aa has been bumped down in gameplay to improve the framerate. The game doesn't look as good as it did before the patch, I'm guessing AA because the cockpit view is very jaggie.

Legend AI:

I've had one race at SPA and they don't brake at the bottom of Eau Rouge, instead they brake in the middle - the massive speed advantage on the straight is still there because of this. :(

Custom Soundtracks work perfectly.

I dont think it is a bug, that is just how it is. It was also like this with uncharted.

If people want to be certain to get all trophies the best is to delete the old savegame.

Playing on from a pre patch save game may unlock any trophies wich was not completed before, but it can not unlock something that was already acomplished, and therefore it is not posibel to get Platinium with and old save game.

Yep it was more annoying than anything else, not a huge surprise as few games will have retrospective trophies (only those with dedicated on-line stats like Warhawk or those with 'locked' saves).

Just wanted to let people know more than anything.

I just went straight online after Dlling the patch and IT WORKS!

The rooms hold together, locking the assists off works and grid order can be set to reverse fastest lap, fastest lap, reverse ranking and ranking so it's easy to set a qualifying session for a race by having a 5 minute race and setting the grid position to "Fastest Lap".

The rooms (For the last hour and a half) have held together without crashing and the comms seem fine (not as good as XBL but OK) someone just came into our lobby and said that 16 person rooms have a problem with the comms being muffled but they are clearer than they were before.


On the whole, much much better at least we've now got a game that is playable online. (Just needs host migration now and I'll be happy with the online mode)

Yeah, running at 1080p the game looks very jaggie. So i switched back to 720p and it looks like normal (for 720p, prepatch 1080p was the nicer of the two) Runs fine, but i never had an issue with the framerate in the first place, and i always used in-car view.

Havnt managed to have an online game yet, AI is harder than ever and a good challenge. Really enjoy the game, it frustrates me to no end! not because the game is lacking, but because i cant keep up with the AI, on the ragged edge all the time and one slip up costs me the race! Love it! :D
 
Yeah I'd say most things the patch set to achieve have been sorted. Online seems stable in an 8 player room and been able to lock off the room and let the host decide what all players use assist wise is great.

The new invert option for the G25 sequential shifter is also a great addition of this patch.

But the comms in a 16 player room are inaudible . So it looks like we still have to play in 8 player rooms ( PS2 territory imo)


Overall a good patch for added game features and stability for an 8 player online room .

Maybe the 16 player comms issue can be solved by having a strong host as I only have 4mb .I'd be interested in others views on this problem with the game.
 
Hey guys, how is the AI with respect to blocking, pushing you off the track, brake checking etc?

How is the deadzone on the G25?
 
Well I have a 10 meg conection and have spent 30 mins trying to get into rooms......no joy. I'll give it a few days before I set fire to it!

Just tried it in 720p and it does look better :)

It must be an upscaling issue with 1080 - the photomode quality is perfect in 720p too.

just patched and played the game for 60 minutes now, been driving time trial, and come on! how could they NOT fix the deadzone issue ? it kills the driving expierence for me, and i feel the framerate is worse than ever (even went down to 720p), and with the older cars without paddle transmissions there is a lurch every time you down change beacause it not possible to toe and heel, beacause there are no working clutch, come on you guys get your finger out and fix what could be a great game! would liove to get a comment from ferraripro. Sorry about the rant, butt it just kills me that they cant just fix it once and for all
 
I hosted a game and managed to get eric in and have a chat but apart from that, nada! I've just tried again and still no joy, paradise on PS3 and the 360 are working fine online so I'll check my conection but it might just be my PS3 or nothing at all....really anoyed me I couldn't get into an online game though, anyway will try later when the servers are a little busyier
 
Yearh!! Private Lobby! but still that annoying clutch slippage sound, when shifting gears... ***!! and the graphics?!!! they don't seem to get it right, even after 2 updates.
 
getting very disappointed with this game now.........cant host or join any games i thought atari's tdu was a joke but they were trying somthing that had never been done before so i could cut them some slack but this is just a simple one click then rdy up to race game.i thought consoles where supposed tobe a hassle free gaming exp oh well back to gtlegends and the top gear test track i downloaded for "free" yesterday
 
i am very disapointed with this patch, no deadzone fix on g25, graphic is much worst now, looks like i am going to sell this game :-(. private lobbies just don't cut nowadays. with power of ps3 at least graphic shouldn't be a problem.
