rFactor 2 Open Beta is OUT!

[Ramon van Rijn]

This time seriously!
- Unzip the rar file
- Run the exe file

 

[Simon Roberts]

That is not a beta, is just another business model.

Of course its a beta, the NTM is flawed as is a lot of other parts, I love iracing but it will always be a WIP beta as new features come out.

Then every software is a beta.

But when you are adding new features, usually is not considered a beta... usually we call beta a final product that you suspect may contain bugs to fix. Adding a new feature is not part of a beta test, is a development.

*sighhh*
This is getting painful now,still cant use rF2 in any way at all,no activation email sent and no reply to me pleas for help...

 

[Mark Birney]

Open Beta would essentially be, near as makes no difference, a release candidate version. Wouldn't be vast improvements upon release. It's up to ISI to declare what they believe to be a consumer friendly build.

 

[Eric. K]

How many developers do those guys have? I mean they have been working on this for years... it is NOT such a huge project!

 

[Henry Muller]

anyone could give me an opinion on how the physics of the F1 car compare to a RF1 mod like the Gurney Eagle released last year?

 

[Gary Lennon]

I've been fixed up now

 

[Kane Lasky]

Well...

To connect to anything online, RD or other, you will need to subscribe to the multiplayer part yes.This is included 18 months with beta (6 mths beta, 12moths after), included in the price,, beta usage and game when released fully..

Lifetime membership price includes beta, game when released and lifetime multiplayer membership.

With the lifetime subscription you dont have the pay the annual 12 dollars for the online services.
The other option you have is to buy the normal version wich is arround 43 dollars i believe but then you need to pay 12 dollars every year for the online services. Paying for that starts in 18 months as its already included now.

Yes you have to pay, but you are paying for the game up front, with access to the beta.

Amongst others, this has been said many a time. Just a quick look through the threads here.

A demo will be released when the game is fully released - ie: on the shelves in shops.

 

[Pritch]

thanks for the feed back , I will try it when the demo is out ...

 

[Ivo Simons]

I have 2 questions please:

1- If I buy the rfactor2 the $43.99 and after that I want to get the live time service is it possible to upgrade or not? and what is the fee then?

2- If I buy the rfactor2 the $43.99 I will get 18 months also or just one year?

Best!

A previous answer...

Nobody knows wha the upgrade would be after initial purchase, or if it is financially viable to go for the option you mention - but you can do the maths for yourself

 

[Ihab Abbas]

I got the rfactor2 now but no cars or tracks inside the sim, how to get them? I can not race at all !!

Ihab, on on virtual r or here and find the video from ISI detailing what to do, it is a little confusing initially, but you will soon get the hang of it. there are posts here that will help
