No, the glitches and bugs are present on all versions. The pit-stop bug, as you said, can be worked around by coming in a lap or two later or changing your default race strategy at the start.

I've only come across the puncture bug, which happens way too often in expert mode, even if you don't get either tyre on the gravel AND the bug where someone else hits you from behind during the start and you get a penalty for causing the collision.

The save data corruption, as I understand, is present on all systems, but is occurring more frequently on PS3.

How great is the feeling when you nail a qualy lap? Pole at Istanbul.

Am I good or is the game easy? Pole with the Virgin F1, although it was a good lap and had to hit every apex. At Monaco, I couldn't get near top 10 in qualy.

depends what difficulty your playing on i suppose i can get pole in the virging racing car but sometimes Webber just speeds ahead of me in the race even if i was quicker than him in quali.

I've come across the pit stop bug at least a couple of times now. I'll have to try the suggestions of pitting a lap or two later :) .
Not had a puncture yet.
I agree, they are minor bugs and doesn't deter my overall enjoyment of the game.

Stuggling currentlly with Monaco in the HRT :( . Anyone have any suggestions for the setup?

Daniel, when is Civ 5 to be released? I had a hard time running Civ 4 on my (oldish) PC as it was too much of a resource hog. I purchased Civ Revolution for the 'Box some time ago but didn't like it at all. So I ended up reverting to Civ III and am still playing it :D
(PM me so as to not hijack the thread :) )

I have been pitting later anyway, coz with the 20% race the pitstop window is within the first 4 laps, so I have made that to goto 6th or 7th lap, btw in multiplayer are there dedicated servers or people have to host on their machines, and guys where do you join to meet each other? I cant wait to get my wheel. :D

Depends on what you're on. If you're on PC then it's GFWL, Xbox is Xbox live and PS3 is PSN. They have dedicated servers but you can set up the rules for each race and "host" an event if you like. It works quite well I think.

As for pitstop strategies I found some tracks it helps to stay out longer (Malaysia) and others it helps to pit sooner (Shanghai).

Of course the pit stop thingy is possible to work around unless you get a puncture, and overall I'm still enjoying the game. I just don't agree that the glitches don't effect the game at all, because I think they do, BUT just to a small extent. I still find myself thrilled by it.

I struggle to find the motivation to race now that I've experienced the corrup save thingy once and I know the patch is on its way though, so I'll just try to find other things to do/games to play and wait for that I think. :)

PM box is full and can't be bothering emptying it :p

Civ 5 is already out.

Question for anyone running F1 2010 on PC, did you buy it on Steam or on disc? If you bought it on disc does it still play through steam or is it Games For Windows Live only? Personally I'd rather play through Steam, but if loads of people on here play through GFWL then I might buy a boxed copy rather than just buying it on Steam

I play through Windows Live [bought a boxed copy]. I have a steam account but rarely use it.
