Yes, quite right :)

What's the most recent version of HD that was pre physics patch?
I think people agree the most 'trouble free' version of the game is pre v1.3 and v2.10
I'm a 2.10 man personally. No more no less :P
Thanks Yeldar, time to redownload. I tried on 2.30 and the physics were patched already. (new HDD in PS3). Did not test 2.20's physics.
When you do a fresh download of Wipeout HD, you wil be instructed to download 6 cumulative patches. If you desire a specific version, you MUST monitor the patching process and cancel the patching process. Updates are installed one at a time. This is the patch progression of Wipeout HD.
Base game/fresh download v1.25 (no Fury support) -> v2.00 (100MB patch) (1/6) -> v2.10 (2/6) (STOP after this installs for pre-physics patch!) -> v2.20 (3/6) -> v2.30 (4/6) -> v.2.50 (5/6) -> v2.51(6/6)
Version 2.20 adds support for 3D so that version should have the old good physics. I think the trouble starts in v2.30.

It would be nice if someone found a way to get the Preview Version's Zone Mode onto the 2.20 HD/Fury, and maybe have it switch to 2.51 whenever doing multiplayer but back to the 2.20 in singleplayer.
THAT would be a good day...
Did that with two PS3s running separate versions once. Close as we're going to get I'm afraid. As far as I know you need a dev kit or special PS3 or something to play the preview version of Zone mode, and very few people have access to it to begin with.
Yes you're right you have to monitor patch progress otherwise you have to start from scratch. I learned the hard way once, on a 0.4mb connection :bomb
I'm glad they didn't patch the download itself and that old versions of the game are still available else some of us would never be able to play again. That's something at least :)
Even if you somehow hacked the files for the Preview Zone Mode and overwrote the files on a hacked version of the released game? (assuming we had a way to do that in the first place?)
Besides, this is just a hypothetical, wishful-thinking scenario.

Back on Topic:
Why is the Icarus Fury considered overpowered?
So you're wishing you could hack the Preview Zone files...? Wonderful. :/
If you buy the disc version (cheap @ 2nd hand stores) you can run pre 2.51 and 2.51 at the same time.
I've DL version on v2.10 and disc version on v2.51
Anybody knows a way to copy profildata from DL to disc version?
when I simply rename the folder it says data is corrupted :(
