So whats the feedback of people playing retail multiplayer mode? Hows the code? Is it fun or is it crash fest? Is the game worth getting for multiplayer aspect, i mean is it worth the money for MP?
And another thing...anyone found a way to fast forward time in qualifying session? For example, i go in Q1, do quick lap, im like second for example and im 100% ill be in Q2. Is there any way to skip to Q2 or do i have to wait Q1 to finish? I found only option to skip to race.
Well, replacing the Catalunya's lighting.xml file with the one from the Spa Franchorschamp folder actually improved A LOT the image quality!
The sepia palette is not completely gone, but it has been reduced consistently
To get rid of the tint you'll have to edit the effects.xlm (I used hex editor) and set the gamma tintAmount to 0 but it still doesn't become completely transparent that's why you'll also change the tint color from shit brown to white. To do that replace tintColour 88, 66, 7, 255 with 255, 255, 255, 255.
That's how I got the picture I linked previously. And there's plenty of other settings to play around with.
I compared the Spa lighting in Catalunya with the original lighting in Catalunya (tint removed in both cases) and to me it looks better with original.
Also different tracks have different tints. For example Catalunya has but Spa has .

The option to fast forward in quali is in the screen on your car.
Iirc it's F2, but it's shown on screen, just look for it.

Yes. When you're in garage, enter that display/screen and choose the menu with timing table, and press F2 once for x6, and second time for x30, and again to go back to realtime.

Thank you for the detailed infos and feedback, I'll take a look at the files and will do some experiments.
TRY THIS for people having not responding issues!
This should only work for quad-core and up users or maybe dual-core with Hyperthreading!!(dual/triple-core users look further down the thread).
go to: Steam\steamapps\common\f1 2010\system
Now look for "worker maps" workermap,workermap2core,workermap4core,workermap8 core(XML documents)
now ...copy and paste those somewhere else for backup..
now... delete workermap2core and workermap8core
now... open up workermap4core with notepad go to EDIT-->SELECT ALL-->COPY
Now... open up workermap with notepad go to EDIT-->SELECT ALL-->PASTE
Now... save/exit workermap and exit workermap4core
Now... DELETE workermap4core so that you only have the modified workermap
Try to run your game..see if it still crashes..

theres an effects.xml in the post process folder aswell with a tint colour value.

Hmm, I tried the same tint values on Kuala Lumpur (Sepang) and on that track it didn't work too well. Meh, gonna leave it at that, can't be bothered to fuck around with every track separately.

what pit bug? So far raced in 3 career races, pit in, change tires, wait 7 or so seconds, and drive off... What am I missing?
Well, during the second race, in Melbourn, i went to pit stop in third lap, i think, and about 6-7 drivers did the same. Pit was finished in around 6 seconds, and then this guy tells me to wait for the lolypop. And so i wait 6-7 more seconds, while other drivers go past me in pit lane.
Here, found a video of the exact same thing:
Thats not a bug. They cant release you unless there is 50m clean air. So u have to wait for other cars to pass...
Yes it is and here's also workarounds/reasons why some don't see the bug.
Hah, there is a yellow tint on the main screen, but not on the additional ones Went tint didn't bother be in GRiD and it's less obvious here. Those alterations you are making do look nice thou.

Multiplayer is crap, really crap. No browser. No decent search function.
I'm never, ever buying a game at launch ever again seriously.
Heh, almost like GRiD then, took us a lot of forum effort to get the MP part better. At least F1 has option to game with assists off, unlike GRiD where it ruined the game.
Quick look at the forums gives also major deja vus. Console and PC forums is again the same and no-one know ever what version who is talking about. TrackIR not supported and people getting angry about obvious bugs
Just don't get why lobby isn't perfect this time. There were many pages of discussion in GRiD what are the basics needed for a MP game. They improved some with patches, but why not make it right to begin with
You can quote me on this in a year, 2010 lobby/search system will get better in a patch, BUT it's again f-ed up in 2011 (well might not get fixed, if most time is already spent on sequel)
I find the 2nd track race from being with virgin tough it stars of in practice dryish, gonna rain for sure 94% end up on wets etc... but no matter what i do to the cars setup i am finding it real hard to stop slide on a few corners, ok can go slower maybe and be more patient,,, BUT... then if i drive with less pushing it i get pit telling me im always behind in sections 1 and 3 but most the time i end up in all 3 sections slower.. and team mate is on 23 position im always 24th.
in first race I had no problems with competing ...
