PAL patch V3

[Hun200kmh]

Ok, I'm maybe wrong, but I think PAL players and patches V1 and V2, while NTSC players just had patch V3.

Now, patch V3 has all improvements and corrections made to patches V1 and V2, but also some others not available yet for PAL players, isn't it?

If I'm right, then here's my question: when will PAL players receive a V3 PAL patch (I reckon a smaller patch than the V3 (NTSC), because we already have V1 and V2 installed) ??

  I believe there were a few more issue's making the game run acceptably on NTSC witch is why they made a v3 patch for the states and not us.

Hi,

The only differnce between the 2 patches are a couple of minor bug fixes and the FFB being re-written to improve the deadzone issue. We are looking at putting together a minor patch which will fix a couple more bugs and give the European version the improved deadzone fix.

We don't have a date for this yet but we're hoping before Christmas.

Thanks for the info, "forum administrator". (are you ferraripro?)

I must say that last night I finally installed a newly bought G25 and I didn't find the "deadzone" issue to be that bad. Maybe that's because my prior (and frustrating) experience with a wheel on FC was with an old, not-supported "Driving Force", and with that wheel the steering was very touchy and the dead zone really made it almost impossible to keep the car straight. So, I went back to the pad. Now, with the G25 all things work smoother (and understeering is definitely more easy to correct with a wheel). I guess in a few days my laptimes with the G25 will be equal to what I can do with the pad, and in a few weeks they'll be better.

But of course, any improvement is very welcome. Give us PAL players that patch as a christmas present, and if you can add to it some free downloads (like the 599 already available in the NTSC game), I'll forget all my 2008 complaints about your game

Well, I don't know if any of you eutechnyx guys still visit GTPlanet (like Ferraripro used to do before these forums were opened), but you should check these threads, one started by me, the other by SimcoeAce (Biggles in that forum):

Reading all posts, I would say that if you don't forget to release the V3 EU patch you could have many new FC players in a short time. So, please, I'm not even asking this for myself, I've no problems whatsoever with the (In)famous deadzone issue ... RELEASE IT BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!!


Remember: The success of a game (and of the game series that follows) doesn't depend only on "moment-of-release-advertising". Word-to-mouth is crucial. SimcoeAce, with a litle help from me and others (Kneedragger, I didn't know you were a GTPlanet member, but I noticed your post there), is trying to draw the PS3 GT community attention to your game. Help us by releasing the patch soon, you'll help yourselves not only on the success of this game, but on the success of any future game you release.

one month pass and still there is no patch...

admin i am suspecious that does it that difficult to convert the us-patch into the eu-patch...

i think you have to consider the feedback of the players...look at the need for speed shift title..cause all the racers know that the blimey is inside the project, most of the players excited for the title and any little new is search deeply...try your best and give us eu-patch...and give that damn gamespot ferrari 599 please...

sorry for my english,it is not my main language..

Yea we payed 69€ in Germany and I wasn't expecting a Beta .. I'm thinking about buying SCC, but the FC Support was really really disappointing, so yea .. The worst thing is, that the NTSC Patch is out, but PAL isn't .. I think whoever is responsible for this, makes a big promotion mistake for SCC.. The success of SCC is not only about the game itself, but I'm off topic right now ^^

How are you getting on with the patch?
It's been several months since the US one, and two months since your message above.

I think you can forget it.  Eutechnyx seems not working at all on it yet and for the future.
If you want the patch (like me for deadzone) it will be include in SCC 

[Forum Administrator]

Being completely honest, we will not be releasing a patch until after SCC has mastered, but we will release it.

[hozes]

congrat eutechnyx...

[xXRambaZambaXx]

Hmm well we have an answer now.. Release the Patch for ALL FC Fans!? The Patch is already done , why not release it? I bet you won't release it ever.

No the patch isn't done or we would release it. We want to fix some of the bugs in there also and not just update the FFB code.

This is probably the best news I read from you (about FC, I mean) in the last few months. There are many things in FC that need fixing, on the top of the list (and clearly more important than the deadzone issue or the 599) is the stuttering lag when cars are close, and in general the online and lobby stability.

However, it remains to be seen if your "will" (to fix bugs and release a FC patch AFTER the release of SCC) is sustainable. The facts and the experience we have had so far indicate that your (eutechnyx) main concern, after SCC is released, will still be the support for this game, and to release patches for itif, unfortuinately, some bugs still go unnnoticed after the beta testing. If that happens, FC will therefore always remain your "forgotten child", the one that only gets attention if the others don't need it.

Let's hope for the best.

Aah ok my fault sry 

[DrJustice]

Now that we are yet a few months down the road, I thought it's time to ask what the status of the European patch is.

Now that there is DLC to get, it would be good to at least have the "worn cogs in the steering rack" fixed...

So, when can we expect to see the patch? If there isn't going to be one, I'd like to know about that as well so I can move on.

The Patch will be released after SCC mastered.. But who cares, SCC will be better anyway -> preordered 

[Dazzel]

I've got a feeling that loads of people have probably asked this before, but are there any plans to implement support for the Logitech Driving Force EX wheels?, not everyone has a 900º wheel and not everyone can afford to upgrade thier existing wheel to a Pro or G25 and the way the game is at present it is near unplayable with the EX wheel due to fact that it's not supported

[Forum Administrator]

We currently don't have any plans to support extra wheels.

Being completely honest, we will not be releasing a patch until after SCC has mastered, but we will release it.

Hi Admin, so are you done with the PAL version's upcoming 2.02 patch bringing wheel fix? SCC has been released for quite a moment now...

Admin, are you there!?!?

Is this patch ready soon?

If this game has been ditched, please be honest and say so.
