    i was thinking the same , before patch start of race at night max settings 1920 x 1200 around 25 fps now around 40 - 45 fps the difference is huge , in daylight i see fps in 80 s around alot of cars around 50 plus how a 6950 aint owning this game summet not right

    i do change ccc settings from supersampling to multi as i found with ssaa it was stuttery , but still had good fps with ssaa just cant handle the stutters and didnt notice any quality changes , bat at the moment the game runs smooth as silk really enjoying it now

    another point using 11.1a hotfix as i play cod bo and any 11,4 are useless with it

    Still no update via steam. Still haven't had time to install the dled patch and checked version still at orginal 1.0.0.0.

    Anyone who did update notice if SLI is working now? Been waiting a month for that fix after Nvidia falsely advertised this game as supported SLI. Conversantly this claim was removed from their geforce.com site 3 days after I purchased Shift 2 assuming SLI worked.

    Going to be furious if SLI is not working still.

    Can't wait for the Steam patch. I have no issues with the driving, can handle GT1 class cars with no issue, and love the handling model. Just as easy to drive as GT5 or Forza 3, just a bit different.

    Thank you for your reply, I'll try the custom wheel profile.
    BTW your shift2 video is funny: with the music playing in the background (replay music) and the cockpit view, it sounds like if you were listening to the radio while driving ^^

    EDIT: I just tried the "custom wheel" profile, and indeed it's WAY better than the "default gamepad" and "xbox 360 controller" profiles.
    Something is seriously broken with gamepad profiles...
    So, my advice to the people who play this game with gamepads:
    Update the game to v 1.01
    And select "custom wheel" control profile
    Now it's awesome :)

    Thanks again ViperXtreme !

    Anyone know how to manually install this patch to the steam version? Mine still won't update and when I tried to run the patch manually it just flashed a loading bar and then closed.

    I doubt you can. Steam normally auto-patches itself when one is available, so you'll need to wait on EA getting their act together.

    it's most likely due to steam and not EA. sometimes they release the patch, but it has to be compatible with steam, otherwise steam wont release the patch.

    nope, but i find it funny when you all expect it to be perfect and as soon as something goes wrong you all start crying about it, be it downtime or a patch lol.. If you had retail you wouldn't have to worry about it or about anything, well maybe mp issues but that's dev fault in the first place.. Now if that makes me anti steam then be it lol

    You don't even know how much money I saved so far for going with Steam. Steam also made me stop stealing game softwares.

    But to each his own.

    yea, the pro's far exceed the cons about steam. and isnt it normal to question as to why the patch hasnt been on steam yet? and i find it is because we are used to having patches quick and automatically. so when something is not right we have to wonder. and like wanny said we save lots of cash using steam and also made me stop pirating.
