I've been playing the F1 series since the 2010 version, although I have been playing on console (xbox 360). I recently upgraded my PC system and began iRacing and rFactor. I thought it would be a good idea to purchase the PC version of F1 2012 as I am moving away from console play and to PC for sim racing. Here is where things get weird.
Here is my hardware config:
HP - HPE
i7 processor
12GB ram
2TB HD
Radeon HD 6770 1GB
3X Hanns-G 27" 2ms displays
Fanatec GT2 wheel w/CSP pedals.
1 The FPS while in game play is so poor that the game in unplayable. Must be down in the 15 - 20 fps. I get none of this in iRacing or rFactor, where my FPS ranges from 50 - 74 FPS.
2. The steering input is ridiculous. There is zero steering response for the first 45 degrees of wheel movement in either direction from center. This again making the game unplayable. I have tried every setting in the game and nothing effects this. I am using a Fanatec GT2 w/CSP and have reset the wheel to factory defaults.
3. I purchased the game online and didn't realize that it was being hosted by Steam when I made the purchase. Had I know at the time, I would have opted for a jewel-case version, but it is what it is. The point is, when I first installed the game and launched it, it would run in full screen mode. During game play, I Alt-Tab'd to the main Windows desktop to check settings and now the game will only launch in a window, which screws up the aspect ratio and I can't get it back in full screen mode.
The PC version of this title is a completely different animal to the xbox version. If I can't get my problems sorted I will just go back to playing it in xbox, but this is quite disappointing.
Any suggestions would be appreciated...
