General

I bought the original FORMULA TRUCK, do I need to buy FORMULA TRUCK 2013?
No, the 2013 update is free to all who purchased the original game. Use the same Serial Number from the original purchase to activate it.

Will FORMULA TRUCK work on a Mac / iPad / xBox?

FORMULA TRUCK is a Game for Windows PC. It might work in a Mac with a Windows emulator, but that option is not supported. Please check the minimum / recommended specs.

Why some manufacturers are not present with their real brand name?

We could not get a license for all manufacturers that compete in the series for this release. We are still working on it and maybe add the missing brands in a future update.

Installation / Activation

Do I only get 3 activations with my Serial Number?

Yes, however if you run out of activations, you may request a renewal of your Serial Number. Contact sales@reizastudios.com for Serial Number related requests.

I have lost my Serial Number or run out of activations, what can I do?

Contact sales@reizstudios.com, supplying the email you used in your purchase.

Game options & settings

Why are 1st and 2nd gear the same, and why are their ratios so low?

In the real trucks the first gear is removed, and second is used solely for taxing around the pits. On the race track, they will run from 3rd gear and up.

1st and 2nd gear being the same is our way to emulate the removal of 1st gear in this version.

How do I adjust the head movement in the Cockpit view?

Go to Options -> Controls -> Controller 2 -> Adjust the Head movement slider (0%-100%). This only works in the full cockpit view.

How do I turn the Trackamp on/off?

Press NumPad 0 to cycle between rotating, fixed and off. You can map a different button to this function by editing TrackMapConf.txt in the FTruck\Plugins\TrackMap.

Which ports do I need to open on a dedicated server in order to host?

TCP port 34747 must be opened. In addition to this, the UDP port numbers are listed in the multiplayer.ini as 34597 and 34697 by default need to be opened. You need to open from these two UDP numbers upwards for each server you have open.

Troubleshooting

Installation stops with an error in file “X”;

Such errors usually derive from a corrupted download. Try downloading again, use a download manager to avoid such errors.

I can´t install or run FTRUCK;

Make sure to run the Game executable with Windows admin rights; if the user is not a Windows administrator, just right-click on the icon and select “run as admin”.

I can´t activate the Game;

Make sure that 1) The computer is connected to the internet; 2) the Serial Number was typed in correctly and in the appropriate place; 3) That there is no Firewall or Antivirus interfering with the activation process.

My antivirus is blocking / deleting the Game executables;

Some antivirus programs report false positives with our game executables. We are constantly working on getting the files cleared with the developers of these antivirus to avoid the hassle, however some take longer than others to address the situation.

In the meantime you may ignore these reports and / or whitelist the files in question locally, as no files linked in this website present any threat to your system.

I have invisible cars / really poor performance.

You´re running way higher settings than your system can handle and FTRUCK is struggling to cope. Try turning down graphical settings – opponent detail, shadows, texture detail and visible vehicles provide the bigger performance gains.

I´m getting error 513 when attempting to start the Game.

The error 513 indicates that the Game register may have been corrupted, which could happen if you activate the Game multiple times in the same PC.

To fix the 513 error - try deleting the "reiza" folder located in the folder "Application Data" or "ProgramData" depending on your Windows version.

If necessary, you can use the Windows search function to locate the folder "reiza" folder. It will be a system folder so your Windows must be configured for system folder / files to be visible.

If the error persists, you´ll need to reinstall the game. Use the uninstaller of the game, make sure to delete the "reiza" folder, reinstall the game again and perform the activation process with your Serial Number.
