F1 2014 Track not rubbering in...

Misty McConachie · Oct 17, 2014

Anyone got this bug again, or is it just me? Track doesn't rubber in like 2013, in fact it doesn't rubber in at all.

I recall it having something to do with frame-rates in the past, until they finally worked it out and fixed it.

I can't be 100% sure but I think it's a visual and mechanical thing where the line isn't coming in. Once we finally got the line in 2013 I definitely felt a lap time difference as the race went on, and in this year's game I felt that in Bahrain and Montreal but not in Australia.

it is both - if you record races its easier to notice, but if you stick to the rubbered in line, your times drop, but the tire wear is not as bad as on a green track.

I also noticed the rubber in the corner you specified in Australia, so it seems like it's affecting everyone. I don't know if it's normal or not at this point, I must admit I'm a little confused. I sent a ticket to Codemaster support just in case.

Hi - Sorry to dig up this old thread.. but I did an online 50% race in a league, and Melbourne rubbered in... has it been fixed? or did the new nvidia drivers fix it?

I'll check Melbourne and get back to you, although I'm using an ATI card (r9 290). Could it be somehow related to playing online, I wonder?

I was racing Brazil quite a bit last week, and in one 50% GP race the line rubbered in in only one place (the Senna esses, down the bottom) but in another 50% GP race the line rubbered in in several places. Only difference between the two races was difficulty level (Expert v Legend). Go figure! So nonsensical, I wish I understood it.
