RaceRoom: The Racing Experience General Discussion

[sesselpupser]

This is why I don't like PC gaming.

I have a 3 year old never upgraded PC and it runs this beautifully.

I try it on a newer machine and I can't get it to run.

Which OSes are each machine running, and what hardware are they running on? I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, i5 2500K (stock clock), a GTX 680 (factory overclock), 8GB RAM and on a Z68 motherboard. Running the game off the D drive, too.

Has anyone else got this running on an Nvidia graphics card?

 

[RX-7_FD3S]

I have no problem running it, I have a windows 7 64-bit, i7-950, a HD5870 (cat 12.6), 8gb of ram, running it from my secondary drive. Everything maxed.

 

[JvM]

Has anyone else got this running on an Nvidia graphics card?

Yes, GTX560 here so nothing highend and as said, silky smooth.

 

[Voltaic]

Runs great for me. Looks/sounds awesome.

 

[sesselpupser]

Got it working just now, I have a triple monitor setup which was giving it problems. I followed the following instructions and now it runs perfectly:

To run your bezel compensated resolution you need to edit a file go here
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\raceroom racing experience\Game\GameData

and open the file Supported_resolutions.xml

Look for the 16:9 list which looks like this its near the bottom part of file
<one:x9One::AspectRatio>
<DualInt>
<width type="int32">16</width>
<height type="int32">9</height>
</DualInt>
<Resolutions>
Just below this will be the resolutions


I run 150 bezel comp which gives me 6060x1080.
you can either edit one of the sizes under 16:9 or add a extra 1 I added a extra one.
<Resolution>
<width type="int32">6060</width>
<height type="int32">1080</height>
</Resolution>

Once you edited the file save it and resolution should be selectable in game

The game runs smoothly for me, but I really can't tell that much about the game from it. The assists feel like they're completely masking the physics so I can't really tell what's physics and what's an assist. I did only do a single lap, though. I also didn't hear ANY tyre squeal which felt really odd but as I say I didn't really give myself a chance to really get a feel for it.

 

[finnracer]

Hope my laptop will run this!

 

[II-zOoLoGy-II]

I am a little late to the party but...

Thank you neema for mentioning that bezel correction fix. That was driving me crazy...

Updated Fanatec driver 140 FW 150b; set a bunch of personal preference parameters in the RR ffb menu; and wow.

I love this game's ffb and the all the options they gave you. Win, win. Of course it could be better, but over all I am impressed.

Take note every other developer... This is how you support ffb.

The driving line that is based off of your fastest lap... genius. I love it. Don't know if that has made it into another title before... but man is that information helpful.

Hard to analyze the physics because it is set on amateur handling if I am not mistaken? At the very least there is some ABS and traction control going on there.

Looking forward to release. Too many good racing games coming out...

Gameplay video leaked > http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Zzhz9Kk_tQE

Lots of people playing it already, beta keys are being sent out..

 

[Samus]

Looks and sounds good but someone is losing access to the beta in 3...2....

I guess I didn't get accepted, have to wait for the release I guess.

 

[JvM]

I guess it's time for a little update on R3E here.

http://insider.simbin.com/licensing-license-round-up-look-into-the-future/

That's a nice recap from the recent license news, and a teaser of what is to come.
I'm slightly unhappy that I don't have a beta key yet.

 

[Samus]

So what do we have there? I'm sure other forums already have it worked out but I'll have a go.

Orange car looks like a Ginetta G50/5.
Bottom right is an Ascari A10.
Ferris Wheel is surely Suzuka.
CTS-V on the right under the ?.
Blue headlight is one of those Grand-AM cars, don't know the name.

Track looks like the Ascari resort track that was featured in an episode of Top Gear.

and a teaser of what is to come.
I'm slightly unhappy that I don't have a beta key yet.

I think I see a Gumpert Apollo and the R8 LMS in there, but I'd have to have a proper look using something other than my phone...

And so am I, but I haven't applied for one so I can't complain.

Underneath that: Ascari A10

Sigh... great list for a game thats imho not convincing yet. Tried it at a friends place and wasnt impressed with most things except color balance and sound.

 

[Samus]

Heh that Silverstone picture is clever, I thought that was an angular part of a car body.

 

[somebodysb2]

So psyched for the G55 GT3 and B6 GT3. Gotta love the underdogs!

Hope they include the R8 LMS Ultra 2012 and/or R8 LMS Ultra 2013 updates as the original R8 LMS is old and irrelevant. But I am glad that the Z4 GT3 is 2012 spec, FM4 & SRW are stuck in time with the 2010 spec cars.

 

[sems4arsenal]

When will this release?

 

[somebodysb2]

completed list..Looks awesome!

EDIT: HUGE SCOOP!!

[II-zOoLoGy-II]

Guess I need to re-install this. I have had access to the beta for while... but never re-installed it after I secure erased my drives several weeks ago.

Maybe I can actually use my Fanatec now... I won't keep my hopes up though.

 

[Samus]

Quite surprised I just got accepted onto the beta today, going to give it a try later. Can't post anything about it of course though.

Yeah I got a email Tuesday with an invite to join the beta. Kinda surprised me also. Thought they where done accepting testers.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Please be like Simraceway, so I can enjoy it without spending a single cent.

 

[Jav]

Same here! Just got the e-mail! Gotta read up on the agreement terms to see what can and can't be publicly talked about.

 

[sesselpupser]

Just remembered about this thread so I've signed up for the beta. Here's hoping they want people with weird monitor configurations (triple 1680x1050 monitors is unusual, right?)!

 

[Tired Tyres]

I've been accepted for the Beta as well! I got the e-mail this morning.

I haven't done anything about it yet though.

I'm looking forward to it though.

 

[Bigbazz]

Looks like they sent out a bunch of invites, I got one last night too.

 

[MagpieRacer]

New trailer info and pricing details for content:
http://insider.simbin.com/r3e-new-video-and-pricing-details/

Individual car model prices range from 199 vRP to 329 vRP which is approximately 2 &#8211; 3,5 EUR. Tracks will generally be running from 349 vRP to 549 vRP or about 3,5 &#8211; 5,5 EUR. Tracks and cars will also be available from time to time in bundles. New game modes such as the Get Real package and Apex Hunt will be available for 99 vRP equaling 1 EUR.

Very reasonable prices, bit of a bummer that the Get Real package is extra (free version comes with what are described as simple driving physics, basically aids. Open beta releases next week with 5 cars and 2 tracks with 6 layouts. RaceRoom Raceway and the hill climb are the tracks.

Looking forward to that next week now then.

 

[RX-7_FD3S]

I've been playing for quite a while now and it's pretty awesome. The problem is that I dont agree for this kind of game (I mean the one where you dont buy anything but have to spend money and money again each time you want something new). I would rather pay 100-150 usd and be sure to have all content the game will offer.

 

[dice1998]

I don't mind microtransactions becuse it keeps the game alive for me.

What i'm not a fan of is this "get real" package being one of those things you can buy optionally.

 

[Samus]

I'm really not sure about it, it's always going to cost more and be less value for money than a full retail package. People and Simbin will say the advantage is that you only pay for what you want but generally speaking most sim fans are going to be interested in a lot of the content, if not all of it.

Average of &#8364;2.75 per car means just 50 cars will cost approximately 137.50 Euros.

Even just 10 tracks at an average of &#8364;4.50 is another &#8364;45, so that's around &#8364;183 for just 50 cars and 10 tracks. It doesn't scream value for money, does it?

I'm enjoying the beta while everything is free but I can't see me getting on board with this, the same I haven't with SimRaceWay.

 

[Jav]

Same here, I only have interest for 1 pay for content sim and that's iRacing only because of what they offer which is still unique on the market and looks like it'll be that way for some years to come!
