That sux man… I’ve heard lots of bad things broke with the new update

Yeah it looks bad. Don’t update yet. No fix so far, looks like only workaround is to reinstall.

Hi all :grinning: how goes it?

And goood morning! I know it’s Monday, but at least try to enjoy the little parts. Good music in the car if you’re stuck in traffic. The fact that being super busy only makes the day go faster. And if all else fails, as you’re walking through school or work, walk like this:

Morning all :slight_smile:
Chilled weekend - had my brother and his girlfriend come visit, both Godparents to our kids.
My Mom went on a cooking course to Thailand last year so she treated us to an amazing authentic Thai meal on Saturday night. Felt crappy which I thought was the beer, but turns out I have flu.
Spent lots of time in the Garden with Zoe my oldest (22months).
Sunday my brother braaid a fillet - was really nice to not braai for once and just chill.

Got some solid gaming time in on Friday night.
Completed the Russian gp in f1 2017. Had to replace my engine and gearbox so started in p20 after qualifying first. Initially I battled as the car is setup for higher speed and less down force. Second DRS zone left me puzzled. You get really high speed and with less traction the car often felt as if it was lifting on the slight left hander and spun if I hit the breaks too hard for the sharp right immediately after.
I spent some time in time trial mode trying to dial the corner. Learned a lot about racing that night.
On a controller it is very easy to forget to feather the controls as opposed to full accelerate or full right or left.
On race day I did not attack on T1 as I knew the car had bad downforce at higher speeds and T1 is pretty fast so I tried my luck on T2 and got super lucky. I dove down the inside on T2 hoping for 3 places and got 10 instead. The time spent learning to feather the car saved me from a collision.
A couple laps later I was in P2 with a much slower car than the rest so I had to make the corners work for me. Jeff the engineer called an early pit and I usually ignore him - considering my tyres where only at 25% wear, but I went in. I came out in 10th, but after everybody else pitted I had leap frogged Hamilton into P1.
The rest of the game was managing tyres on a longer than usual stint and also fuel usage whilst fending off high speed attacks from the other drivers who where jostling for position.

Bit of a long good morning, but just sharing my love for the game. I turned the difficulty up a bit as I am getting slightly better. It really makes you feel as if you are in the race. 1 second in front feels as if you have a pack of hungry lions attacking you and 1 second behind feels as if you are a mile away.
Apart from the unusual wear and tear, well played codies, well played.
Onto Spain now.
