Awesome you like the new rFactor 2 Online experience!
Thank you so much for mentioning my channel mate! much much appreciated.
No problem 👍
Glad you are so positive about this. As a diehard rF2 fan, it's super exciting to have full grids without the faff of LFM. Finally I can just jump in and race.
Now we need to make sure that it keeps like this !
What's faff?
I kept seeing you get on Rf2 on steam when I was racing it and was so happy that you were trying it out! Love this game and miss it so much! Excited to see where it goes and hopefully gets bigger!
Wasn't me , fake gamer Muscle , I don't even own a pc just an Atari
Might have to give rf2 a shot now, hopefully this puts some pressure on iracing to make some meaningful updates especially to the tyre model.
Actually they need an update to ffb model worse I think. Love my iRacing but yeah, rf2 drives better in most cases.
Awesome! Glad you mentioned tyres. I thought I was the only one that loved rf2 over ispend for tyre model
No. Everybody feel like that. I dont think I ever heard anyone say the opposite.
rfactor was as convoluted as Assetto Corsa. So much that most players naturally migrated from rF to AC as it worked basically the same
People prefer AC because Motorsport Games is a scam an needs to go down. Glad they get sued from everyone.
@@RonaldRegainwhat did they do then ? I’m unaware…
@@RonaldRegain Why are they a scam? the sim performs and drives good, the dlc is cheaper than iRacing and its free to race online ranked racing.
@@RonaldRegain This is just simply not true. People naturally gravitate to AC because of the wealth of content, regardless of actual quality, and regardless of how accurately modeled it is. Modders moved to AC because when ISI initially released rFactor 2 in beta over a decade ago modders quickly realized that because of the expanded physics, and physically modeled tires, creating relatively accurately modeled content required being a legitimate engineer, and on top of that, all that was given in terms of any sort of explanation on how modding rF2 actually worked was extremely cryptic documentation that nobody except for a handful of people could really figure out.
For some reason people think that motorsport games created rFactor 2. rFactor 2 is a product of Image Space Incorporated, a company based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and the same company responsible for a bunch of og racing games like the original rFactor and EA F1. in 2016 ISI decided to partner with the Dutch company Luminis, forming the company known as Studio 397, that's two years before Motorsport games would even be founded.
Sure Motorsport games is a pretty questionable company, but Studio 397 and rFactor 2 are not products of Motorsport games.
This is an awesome addition to RF2. I've owned the game for years now and still do play it from time to time but only ever the single player options since when I've tried the multiplayer side of things, it's been absolutely terrible. Going to give it a go now and see how well it works.
Same. I can't fix the grainy ffb on my fanatec gt dd pro. It will be ok for 1 race then something happens and it feels grainy after practice or qualy after reloading onto track
This has given me renewed interest in rF2. I spent more than a couple of hours today having real fun. It actually made me feel I could drive well enough to compete. Thanks for making the point about tires. I think the game feels good.
Everything you said in this video is what I told the guys in our country's rF2 group chat after trying this out :) and now I feel kinda proud to be the first to tell everyone about the beta, and to test it out first! I was there to say that it's friggin awesome - finally what we've waited for! I too stayed for hours, raced 3 races back to back instead of going to bed after a single event... I think this racing system is going to stick it through. I think that the playerbase will expand, and we'd be getting several different events per hour, because when you consistently run hundreds of players an hour (divided to several splits per race) you can spread your player base over multiple separate events. That's just growth!
My only caveat was not being able to send a pm to a fellow driver through the online system. After a long battle someone took me off the road by mistake and I just wanted to thank him for the lovely race and didn't mind the accident as he obviously felt bad and waited for me to rejoin the race :)
You can file a complaint about unsportsmanlike behavior etc, hopefully they will enforce and manage the races, hoping for the best there. Time will tell.
It's been a lot of fun seeing this simulator slowly and regularly improves over the last two or so years. I stopped playing AC the day I tried rF2, couldn't go back to AC's physics and ffb. (But damn AC looks so much better, and there are still loads of different kinks that we all wish studio397 already fixed in rF2.)
I’ve had RF2 for a while, but have raced for maybe 5 minutes. This might finally get me into it. Thank you for this video
Yeah, I like the idea of the colors for license. Safety rating as a # would be just fine so whatever but having license levels that are not a number to chase is I think a nice idea. Won’t matter anyways unless the uptake is enough you actually get multiple splits per race. On LFM at the moment everything is generally in a single split for rf2 so ranking level matters nothing except for safety rating.
Thank you for this video. I remember watching the trailer the other day but didn't know I could play it right now, might've missed that in the trailer.
Downloaded it after watching this. I gotta say, having only booted up the game once before, it was a pain in the ass to set up for some reason, not the beta but setting up the wheel (update your fanatic drivers if you feel the grainy ffb, and make sure you have auto clutch on). However, after proper setup, the multiplayer is very fun. Full lobbies, good clean racing (for the most part) and fun to drive. Still gotta get used to the driving physics as I basically only play iracing, but really looking forward to see how this goes. Hopefully gets more populated as it comes out of beta cause I'm enjoying it so far. Can't wait to get to the gt3s. I saw Daytona was on the schedule and would love to try gt3s Daytona so I can better compare to iracing.
The servers have been filling up fast, cant wait to work on my rating. This will seriously keep my iRacing sub expired
Oh surely this changed my mind for iRacing too. Now it all hinges on its long term player count…
Bought! I've played most sims but felt like it was too late for me to get into this one. This multiplayer system changes that. Excited to get into it.
Isn't it mind-boggling that you can naturally drive this sim from the first time you try it?
There is no "top ten iRacing hacks" or "best cheat-codes" or any silly nonesense. If you know how to drive a car you'll be able to drive rF2.
@@jahshjahsh2002 That was exactly my first impression of it. I was thinking “here we go again” with wheel settings, mods, general setup, etc. Thought it would be a nightmare, especially because the game has been around for a while. It was the complete opposite. After some quick configuration, I was on the track. Game felt really nice right away, really fun to drive.
@@jahshjahsh2002 Yeah, honestly, rF2 and AMS1 have been the only sims I've ever gotten that feeling with every car. AMS2 is getting there but not quite yet.
@@Logan912 Amen, also try RichardBR (of course with ALL the enhancements).
might have to give this a go on the weekend. thanks GM for the heads up. Haven't played RF2 for years now.
Nice (sort of 😂) shout out to Michi Hoyer who definitely deserves more subscribers. That guy gives so much to the community - especially as a live streamer, commenting as he drives in really high level esports races. Sometimes he's seemed to be on his own a bit proselytising for rf2, but the game deserves all the love it gets (and ok, some of the hate too; ! ).
LFM was already a good platform for rf2 but ok somewhat fiddly. Having everything in the game directly makes so much more sense.
He is a legend , also I spent quite a bit of time this year with him doing formula E events , a genuinely nice guy helped me with trains in Berlin and just great to hang around with ☕👍.
RF2 has never felt so alive in… well the golden age of RF1, I dare say! Look, I hope the player count stays high, it has to! Please reach out to everyone out there and try it :)
So, here I am 8/10/2023 having been a staunch advocate of ACC finally getting fed up and going back to try RF2. I tweaked the graphics (turn on all the features which are turned off by default, now it's gorgeous) and whipped rounds la sarthe with the most comfortable force feedback I have ever felt. I am now very hopeful for the forthcoming release of Le Mans Ultimate and will be getting used to RF2 in anticipation.
When you say gorgeous...AMS2 levels? Cause from what i see here on GMs video it still looks old gen
@@JB_2027 Good enough for me. I'm not going to invest in every sim just trying to make the most of the stuff I do own.
@@martinmorg31 fair enough, cant argue with that logic...
100% agreed... At least right now, it's as good as iRacing for online simplicity and quality
And much cheaper😂👍
Great to see you giving a glowing review to the absolutely fantastic work which the guys at S397 and MSG have been doing.
I had no idea the CEO of MSG was on CZcams.
Great video as always...been on the new online servers for a few days now....wow just used to use it for single players stuff but now it's at the top of the sims....well done team.
Loving the positivity that RF2 is getting over this. Great video as always.
Downloading it right now, will set up the VR and see how it goes, I've been an iRacing urchin for months now 😂
Totally agree, i love it so much, apart from the connecting bugs to the server
No one expect such affluence, they were very reactive this week-end, add more series to avoid max servor limit, it will be better next days and don’t forget it’s a beta
Okay okay okay, you have convinced me to go re install the game and try this new ranked system out. Great video as always.
Thankyou for bringing this to my attention, GM. I've always wanted to join iRacing for the online racing, but always baulked at its current subscription model. But I also mainly ignored rFactor 2 due to it's (original) outdated UI layout. making it frustrating to set up a simple race. But this sounds right up my ally (ouch ; ). So I'll definitely have to check it out when I get a chance. Happy tea-drinking GM. [;]-)
finally, the dopamine shot at the end of the race, a critical part of multiplayer games
I'm assuming they'll also add this ranked multiplayer feature to the upcoming Le Mans Ultimate.
I’d argue it’s why it’s here. Actually a good sign for the LM game!
Exactly, it’s a test for LMU future Race control multiplayer system
Also, they actually finally implemented lock to horizon for VR which I think should get more applause than the online racing LOL
I ran that same Radical event yesterday and the car was right-hand drive... 😁 which was probabaly why I came almost last (yeah like being on the left would've helped) I did finish it though and when I became a back marker I politely moved out of the way 😉
couldn't find any pace with this radical car too (but I think it's more related to the track's specificities), was losing too much time on the main straight (and this last couple of corners were so tricky to exit properly...), and still I was in a left-hand drive... :)
Absolutely hilarious commentary of the update!
Thumb up and also I am drinking coffee, and also, the REAL true improvment is the Lock to horizon option ;)
Yeeeeees !
DID YOU SUBSCRIBE TO AND SUPPORT MY BATHROOM BRO MICHIII HOYYYER ? - www.youtube.com/@MichiHoyer He Does Guides is fast and also knows how to operate ticket machines in berlin !
What a nice surprise , and great job by the guys that put the work in ! - Thanks to everyone for supporting my channel as well you are helping making the world a worse place each day !
finally a reason to install rf2 again
Very cool! After my existential crisis passes, I might check it out
Im drinking Tea and I'm subscribed!
Yes! Great simulation PLUS engaging and fresh gameplay = good sim racing!
I'm gonna buy rf2 now
AAAhhh yeeeah, I need to try this!
Looks good. Can you get a proximity radar to this easily?
Do you still need to own all the cars in the series you are racing? Remember, it was that way for LFM. Havent raced RF2 in a while since none of the LFM servers are populated during peak US times. Looking forward to checking this out though. Love the sim
No. You only need to own one of the cars now.
u need the car u want to use and track + install all cars that are loaded into the server in the "manage content" menu for free
You've influenced me. I feel influenced.
great video, but how on earth did you know i was subscribed AND drinking Tea?
RF2 has left me with PTSD, getting flashbacks just from watching this video.
Might install rfactor again and give this a shot.
I hope they add an open wheel series
It really is very great, LFM is actually even better but never got enough numbers.
wow , I might finally try rfactor2!
In my view, RF2 has never been dead, but this is just a brilliant move and I can't resist leaving a few words to Studio 397 and Motorsport Games:
- Yes!
- Magnificent!
- Just right on the spot!
- At last!
- What the heck took you so long...? (just kidding...)
RF2 is now complete (well... almost, I'm dying to be able to click on the "Career Thingy"...*)
* EDIT: well, actually, thinking of the thousands of hours I already spent in it, it's almost a frightening idea...
Anyone got tips for the FFB? Mine on Moza R5 feels very weak in the centre, when I broke a wheel on the BMW and was bouncing up and down on the broken tyre the FFB felt REALLY good, but in normal driving I can't feel the tyres at all, all I can ever feel are these grainy vibrations.
I'd like to try it out. But I dont think it will have the appeal in the US like it does over in Europe
i can't believe im downloading rfactor 2 again
Yay! Better multi player. 🙏👍
Good shout
Ok I’ll give it another shot. Actually getting my gear to work usually is the biggest hurdle. Simagic wheelbase
Exactly! Same with me… the notorious rattle FFB that appears unpredictably from time-to-time kept me out of the game. I shall try it again also.
I found the recent Simagic updates made it super easy to set up.
This is like CS2 Matchmaking married rf2 and produced this system. Loving it , so easy to just race online cleanly without faffing around too much!!🎉
Always get through practice then just before race starts get connection lost?? What's going on?
Also rFactor 2 has BTTC which is better than a Sports Direct mug of tea!
Yeah, rf2 BTCC is freaking awesome. Love it. All those loving Touring cars on the new Forza need to try rf2 BTCC.
Finally! If BTCC can become the most popular series in RF2, it will stand out for sure.
Never tried RF2 because I'm deep in AC, but I'm really tempted to give this a bash.
AMS2 please do something like this !!
gunna try it out
"...nobody was playing the ranked system, apart from Michi Hoyer." Brilliant line.
About time, great and constant development....
I could never get my wheel to work right with this game. It felt like it had a second of lag in the input, and changing settings did nothing. Haven't seen anyone else talk about it, and my wheel works great with other games.
Did they ever fix the grainy ffb on fanatec gt dd pro?
you add smoothing in game.
I tried it and finished well in my first race and since then I get kicked out once practice and time trials are over. I get a "registrar" notice each time. I hope it is just a glitch.
RANKED RACING 🎉
Keep gettin an error occured when trying to join one of the races? anyone have a fix for this?
Go back in the meneues and then back to the event menu a few times.
Thanks chief@@GamerMuscleVideos
Where are the servers located? iRacing is the only sim that has felt good from Australia so hoping it's at least close to that.
I'd really like to like this, but so far . . . . Last week it was typically refusing to connect to the server -- ok, beta, I get it. But when I do get connected, both the wheel ("grainy vibrations," as someone said below) and the handling (kind of disconnected swimming?) are not enjoyable. I updated the drivers and firmware on my CSL-DD; if anything, it feels worse.
Still yellow cars during practice. That make the game experience smell.
Awesome
Funny how DriftFactor 2 is not "too slidey" for GM.
(pounds table) Karting! Karting! Karting!
now rf needs to make rally content
Which HUD is that? :)
Default
@@GamerMuscleVideos What what, is it just the default? I thought it was the circular more style that was default lol.
Thanks!
tried to give it ago took a while to get vr and csl dd working but once did I just got an infinite loading loop when trying to join online race, offline was fine.
They have a know problem for practice server they work on it, race servers works fine
If u have the loop for join race, just back to main menu and re try😊
@@ducat7493 will give it another go did try a couple of times was first day though.
It will be interesting to see how they try to monetize it once beta is good
I must be super sexy as I took a sip of tea just as you said it !!!!
So I hadn't given RFactor 2 a chance at all because it's difficult to set up and no good online. I spent 4 hours on last night because of the online play
I’m drinking gold. Yorkshire gold.😎. Does this mean I can stop giving blood to iRacing? 🙏
Yes ! I'm trying to get sponsored by yorkshire tea I think it might happen.
@@GamerMuscleVideosdon’t let them fob you off with their biscuit flavour tea. First sip is alright, then you realise it’s just like the most miserable moment in our lives, when a whole digestive dunk is mistimed, and all you have to look forward to is the lumpy tea at the bottom. Tell ‘em gold or jog on.
Installing now. Looking forward to it.
Also, it’s a tory tea. Trying to trick you into thinking you’re having some food.
NO FOOD, EAT YOUR (cup of) TEA! OBEY.
How are they dealing with all the Wreckers?
What is stopping ACC from doing the same???
Kunos
Is racing with others on high ping unplayable?
Not at all. I’m from Indonesia and we had some amazing close racing at over 200 ping. As long as your internet is stable, touches won’t send someone to the shadow realm. It also detects warping and disables collision for a few seconds if it happens.
Yes I'm in Australia and its pretty much unplayable 😥
@@X1erra Nice I'm close to Indonesia and got stable ping so it's nice to hear it works relatively well.
@@forsaleau how much ping you get and what issue do you face the most? Would you say you have stable Internet?
@@zepos Yes i have a very stable connection, my ping is 300, cars tend to warp and rubber band, its still playable but not a very smooth experiance for me anyway.
They just need to revamp the aesthetics. I mean this game is old but it looks WAY older than it is
Haha im drinking iced tea Im so sexy thanks gamermuscle! 🤣
Get in there
Does beer count towards sexyness?
No , beer makes other people look more sexy
MSG doing something good for once? Wtf
To be fair they did sell the nascar license as well however they most likely just did that out of necessity to survive.
But is it still a mess to setup, configure and install dlc‘s?
It just holds me away from this title since the beginning…
U need to watch some tuto for weel configuré evrything, it take less than 2hours. And the content management has been change last oonth, way more easy to use
@@ducat7493 do you know a good one to setup VRS wheelbase and Heusinkveld pedals?
I'm sexy because I am a proud twingo 1 2004 owner.
I would love to give RF2 more game time but I can never get the bloody thing to actually run... I run all the other sims without any issues but RF just refuses to work... ah well...
Amd user? They add a fix in this Relase candidate ❤
@@ducat7493 Nah, nvidia... I've spend hours upon hours following the 'fixes' it just doesn't run... :(
I'm too sexy for my tea
god bless michi hoyer
Buuut, my boiled egg friend, it’s literally impossible to get on a server. I’ve been trying for like, 3 days. I mean it’s good that they had 260 people on it last night but no so good when you try to enter and it just says starting server forever. Only Beta though obviously
When it says starting server , go back to main menue then click on the race again and you will be able to join :)
No dice :-( tried that, and restarting the game and everything. I’m sure they’ll sort it for full release
@@alexanderredhead6847 that's a lot of replies :) check your windows time settings are set to "auto" as well.
Yeah, dunno what the hell was going on there. Anyway thanks for the windows time shout I’ll try that
rF2 is good
Finally rfactor 2 is enjoyable. The only issue I have is that on lfm rfactor 2 use to work and now i just get a random error and on rfactor 2 ranked servers everything was working great yesterday and today I am getting errors. Fix these bugs please.
Server capacity was reached due to unexpected affluence of players... AWS were contacted for more server availability, but they are slow movers.
Patience, the reason it’s a release candidate rn is also to stress test :)
U have to be in normal rf2 version for LFm and RC for New CS, u can switch by steam it take less than 1 minute
@@X1erra I can be patient but some appropriate messaging when errors occur would be good for the end user.
@@ducat7493 ok I will give it a check.
Update is very good a game changer. Is there any way to join with friends? we joined an event we ended up in 2 different sessions.
😆
Motorsport games 's stock is still going really bad. Hopefully some company save the RF franchise...
It is actually infuriating that something like this is even a noteworthy addition in sim racing. The tiniest shred of effort nowadays is groundbreaking.
