This update includes all changes from the previous patches. Save game compatibility across updates might be problematic. In general, it shouldn't pose a problem and we have tested it extensively without running into major issues. However, due to extensive changes to gameplay features and balancing, we can not rule out some unexpected behaviours.

Thanks Timo, little disappointed there were nothing but feedback bug fixes and no new reasonable suggestions. I am guess therefore that this is it.... thanks anyway..

i cant seem to get the patch to run... it downloads but nothing else, tried both ways, save and run.... probably this vista thing again...
can anyone post any light on this one please

thanx, gonna try it directly. Danke

What happens when you run the patch? Did you try to re-download?

ive tried all ways. run, save. it doesnt appear in teh location i save it too either, ive checked firewalls,
after it downloads i get the run or dont run option, i click run and nothing happens

disappointed...
i will not even download it...

*uninstalling*

good luck

Are you running the Stardock (Impulse) version or a CD install? I am still assuming Stardock will update automatically, which hasn't happened till last night, though.

i'm not running stardock, i dont actually know what that is.... just a standard cd install... tried everything now, even from a search on net for the patch, i find it exactly same thing... very frustrating

Then download it from here: http://dl.free.fr/oYAkdeZxg

If the download doesn't start straight away, and if you're not french, look for a download link labeled "Télécharger".

After that, unRAR it in your installation folder, replacing the existing files (default one is "%ProgramFiles%\Kalypso\Pole Position 2010" on 32bits OS, and "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Kalypso\Pole Position 2010" on 64bits OS).

If you wonder how I managed to "transform" that EXE into a RAR, I just did a fake patching in an empty folder, then I RARed its content. Anyway, those three patches released by Kalypso are kind of broken since they don't know where to install themselves, and even after you pointed the right folder, they wanna create a sub-folder inside called "New Folder". I just tried the German patch, thinking it's maybe a small bug on the english patch engine settings, but no. The German version act the same way.

No comment.

Enjoy.

I am having feedback anomolies, most commonly around the rear braking force being too low, even when it is set to 100% and the weight distribution being too far to the rear, even when fully forward. Is this just me?

The quality and accuracy of the driver feedback depends on the driver experience/rating, so they should never be taken for granted. You still have to experiment with the car's settings and do training sessions to find the best setup for each track.

Yes I decided to run a little experiment by starting a new game with my test driver edited to 100 'Feedback' and it does the same thing. The fact that there is no real testing in this game is a real pain, and having to switch your test driver into 2nd driver position? whats that all about?

Such potential

hii,

where do u save the patch's to ?

thanks,
brad

Save the patch to your desktop and then activate it and follow the onscreen instructions. check its pointing to your game directory ie, C:\Program Files\Kalypso Media\Pole Position 2010 and hit ok and it will update your game to 1.3.

I can't seem to find any reference to the version I am running. I purchased the download in June, can someone tell me if my version up to date or is the Update relevent?

Thanks

The link is to the patch. If you downloaded it the unbuilt software should update automatically.
When you load the game up on the start/load/editor screen you should see the version number in the top left of the screen.

Thanks for that. There was no version number being displayed at all with the original install, until after I installed the patch.

Hoping the Game will be finished with another patch, why put this game on the market if you know it is not finished??? too many bugs, incorrect in-game wording, ie Passed... should be, Overtaken by.. incorrect spelling, and Espionage is non existent?? Kalypso this game should be put to watchdog!!! your taking our perfect money for an unfinished product, you wouldnt call a house complete with no windows or doors! or would you?? come on sort it out..why dont you.

Hi Kalypso guys,

as a fan of some of your games (especially Tropico and Patrizier IV) im wondering if this game is already abandoned when it comes to patches!?

I`m missing an option to leave the course (by pressing ESC for example) as i find it pretty annoying to have to watch the qualificaion rounds while not participating. Same for the races when my drivers are out. No need to watch some icons sliding around the course. It`s not very interesting to watch that. What is wrong with f1 cars in place of those icons?

In my opinion the event camera can be erased totally as it doesnt give any spectaculair pictures. Pitty the cam doesnt show up with accidents. So this option is pretty useless and in my opinion just a waste of money in production time.

I also would find it pretty usefull if you could setup a complete new team fromout the editor (or after starting a new game) without altering existing ones. Same for the drivers. The whole editor is more like a cheating tool, setting everything to maximum (guess what the result was on my very first race ;-) ). Why not implement a point system? So if you start a new team you have a maximum amount of points to spend on things like starting money etc. Same for the drivers. Give a new created driver a maximum number of points that can be spend on his "talents".

One fine option also could be to sell your own researched components to other teams. If im right that was possible in a very old f1 managing game (from former Ascaron i think?!).

One very importend point is the press. There are no newspapers that comment your team efforts. I think this is a very important thing for sport games. Gives the whole game more depth.

But ... As there is not much interest for this special product (not many posts here in the forum) maybe you guys will create a new and better f1 manager !?

thx for reading ...
