rFactor 1255 Patch Released

 

The rFactor 1255 patch (build D) was created to address some online security issues, add additional overall stability, and match the new retail DVD version recently released in Europe. The update consists of:

 

  • rFactor.exe
  • rFactor Dedicated.exe
  • Plugins\NetCommUtilPlugin.dll
  • Updated Sounds

PLEASE NOTE: You will be required to reactivate rFactor if you upgrade to v1255. Before you do this, locate your original confirmation email. Make sure you can locate your Activation Number, Order Number and email address used. If you need a new confirmation email sent out to you, visit TryMedia.

 

Download the update from any mirror site. First move the original files into a \Backup directory. Unzip the contents of the update ensuring you replace all files. Once you run the new version of rFactor, it will ask you to Buy/Unlock. Follow the Already Paid link at the lower right of the first purchase screen, using the Activation Number and email address from the confirmation email.

 

If you need to have your email changed or your activations reset, please send a request to purchase at rFactor net

So basically, unless you're playing online with other 1255 users, you may not want to upgrade to 1255. That "increased loading time" has been reported to be QUITE severe in many cases, depending on how many cars you have.

Its not that hard to imagine as the last time I did a fresh install I went through every download checking for updates, installing, testing, installing some more. It took a few nights work which is why I'm being far more choosy this time around and besides hopefully my copy of RACE 07 will arrive Friday :biggrin:

I don't do it that much anymore myself. However, there's still a decent group going over at SimHQ's motorsports forums.
