F1 Fanatic

Funkyf1, it’s strictly bug fixes. The Korean surroundings are just a cosmetic thing, so no need to update it.

Is it out for xbox yet?

I downloaded it for PC and now the game runs really slow. Admitidly my computer isnt the best around and the game ran slow before but this is just ridiculous.

On a side note, does the ‘Corrupt Save Bug’ caused by the R&D still exist or has that been fixed?

Is it out for xbox yet?

No. Codemasters have released the patch already, but it’s up to Microsoft when it’s made available for Xbox. In any case, it should download and install automatically when you start the game up (and connected to Live), but you should still be notified anyway.

The patch seems to have improved the pit stop glitch and I’m happy I can now see the gap to the car ahead/behind, but I’m still suffering with some cars not pitting.

Here’s what’s been changed according to the Readme file for the PC patch:

• Corrected an issue where user would be penalised for overtaking pitted AI cars when under yellow flag

• Made penalties less likely to be awarded after spinning out on the track
