I was invited a while back to test RaceRoom in a closed Beta, I just remembered about it and tried to load it and steam threw up this message

Hello,

This is the installation folder of the closed beta builds.

If you were looking for the OPEN BETA, please install it from:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/211500/

So I guess its open ;) Go install, the closed was a load of fun, only complaint was the length of the tracks, bit too short, but the driving was good fun :)

Downloading the open beta now

I was actually thinking about trying it when it popped up on steam. But after reading the blerb it suggested that it came with the bare bones of a game with the option to buy in game cars and tracks. So I didn't bother and went back to playing Dirt Showdown lol.

Let us know how it plays and what you actually get for free.

To be honest, I think the closed beta drove much better than this, this feels much more arcade, less control, I've just played a good few minutes then quit, whereas the close beta I enjoyed, it was difficult but much more realistic.

I`m reviewing the default > quick race right now, I`ll have a play around with the settings and see if I can get the closed beta handling back

Hmm, not sure about trying this now, after all its a 10gig download...

This is me just now, after a good few drinks, using a keyboard (A manual wheel and pedals are VERY needed for this game) I tried playing it with a PS2 pad and it was no easier, even with analogue sticks)

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By madhopsman · Posted

      Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.

      Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
