NO. Read my post. Change the security settings!

The steering on that game is far more sensitive than on the F1 games, and there are more options when it comes to adjusting it to optimize controller performance. Codemasters take note!
Do you know I flagged another issue with the game that another user had with F1 that did not work as well as in DR2 (IIRC). Seems they have competing dev teams in CM, the response was "F1 can look after that issue themselves" (paraphrased).
Bodes well for the SMS acquisition, doesn't it?

Try removing Protected Folder Access in Windows Security settings.
The hardware_settings_config.xml is written to Documents\My Games\F1 2019 and Documents is a protected folder with the setting enabled.
I've honestly no idea why files are written all over the filesystem. Laziness?

Then the wheel rotation is set at 900. QED.
What you didn't do is tell me which platform you are on to finish helping. It is an XB1 wheelbase or it is on PC. My psychic abilities cease at that point and let me down badly 🙂

6 hours ago, Lakrits said:After a career race today I had an Overtake challenge that I did. When I did that something weird happened. I could not change gears at all, not up or down so was stuck in 4th. Tried both with and without the clutch but no go. I couldn't hit escape to get into the menu either so I had to get black flagged. Retried and the same thing but I managed to get into the ingame menu through alt-tabbing out and back. Went into the controller settings and everything, both the keyboard settings and the ones for my T300RS GT, but everything looked like it should in there. Added in individual keyboard keys for each gear and went back out to try shift gears like that. The only thing that happened was I went into neutral and then I couldn't get into any gear again so another DSQ.
Exited the game, rebooted the computer and went back in to run a time trial for testing. Everything worked except the escape key didn't react when I was in the car. If I went into the garage menu the escape key worked but in the car it just didn't.
I have no idea how this happened. I never went into any settings between this worked and it suddenly didn't. I could not go back to the overtake challenge to retest if it worked but changing gears and everything else have worked after reboot, except for the escape key on the keyboard when I'm in the car. If I press the pause assigned button on the wheel I get into the menu but not when I press escape on the keyboard like it used to before, and I have checked that it's still assigned.
The biggest issue here though is that I couldn't change gears. Perhaps I should try go into time trial or something and select that car (1991 McLaren I believe it was) and try if it works then. Only driven 2019 and multiplayer cars after this happened and they all worked as they should.
No changes in Windows either.
I've had this too. Sometimes the game doesn't recognise one of the input devices. I think it's when they are customised.
The way the schemas work is awkward. Configure your wheel and press a key on the keyboard. Or configure your keyboard and press a wheel button (should work, never actually tried it).
Save the schema - Now you have a custom profile with the two devices bound; this is by design. Neither of the default schemas are selected (√)
Doesn't happen with USB pedals - if I press the Fanatec controls when customising the wheel schema it won't save the input as anything different. And don't get me started on customising the Fanatec controls (possibly a "why would you need to?" situation) but you get the 'Can't rebind controls that have a default schema' or whatever it is.
I have used the passive adapter for Logitech pedals to a Thrustmaster base and obviously the game can't tell the difference because the inputs are coming via the wheelbase.
Not sure how much of this is driver related as the Thrustmaster pedals read as combined axis with all pedals at 50% with nothing connected until the Fanatec driver is installed. Then they come back correctly as separate with 0% input until pressed.
I *believe* that the 50% combined is an error detection method used on the Thrustmaster base because when I had a connection come loose the Logitech pedals read this way until the wire was resoldered. WIth the T3PA pedals and the Logitechs the driver *always* detected as separate with 0%. But I've never had a 2 pedal set to connect to prove otherwise.

just wanted to know if I can play F1 2020 because on Steam and Internet it says that it is exactly the same hardware but for some reason Im scared that I can´t play it. Shouldn´t be a problem, right ?
No, why not post a spec and someone can tell you if you meet the requirement if you don't know.
This has been happening for a while, someone buys the game because they got F1 201x working in a fashion then they complain when F1 2020 won't run.
If you meet the minimum spec the game will run.
If you meet the recommended spec the game will probably run at 60FPS

33 minutes ago, Paalo said:Hi all,
since a while I recognized a strange behavior in my F1 2019 game, especially during online sessions and in career mode, not time attack.
in high speed corners with normally flat out throttle the mfa shows only Around 75% Or less and the game is making it automatically, even if I am on 100% throttle. It is very annoying and I want to ask if someone is experiencing the same or can tell me how to fix this.
Please note: the videos shows the bug and in each corner I am on full throttle but the mfa shows how the game is limiting it.
only assistance is the brake assistant on abs on.
thanks
paalo
Turn off the assist. It's not strange it's by design. If you can go around all the corners at 100% throttle there are 10 GP teams that want to hear from you! 🙂

I usually map Steam PTT to T so I don't press it. Looks like I'll have to map to Y instead 🙂
Are all these shortcuts going to be in a / the manual? Because to be honest, it's been a bit thin in recent years.

QuoteThe device has no pre-linkage
I have not knowingly seen an equivalent English message.
If I had to guess I would say it "cannot load a preset for (one of) the device(s)".
I would recommend the uninstallation of the vJoy software. This is highly likely to be the source of the message.
The HWiNFO screen does not show the Embedded Controller Firmware. Try running the sensor shortcut (the thermometer shortcut in the HWiNFO menu).
The pop-up screen may give info or warn you about probing the EC, but try it.

1 minute ago, mikyesposto95 said:you can see the realism in those games by how AI behaves and how a weapon behaves when you shoot, when you reload. It is normal that these are fantasy games, but have you seen the weather of red dead redemption how does it behave? I think the realism of that game is absurd. And to make a comparison, the f1 game should also be realistic. I noticed that many still use first gear. Now tell me aside monk, where F1 drivers use first gear? Right here I wanted to get there, attention to small details. And I don't want to express myself about the physics of the game which is very far from being a simulation. I repeat, I don't want to criticize but I want to encourage Codemasters to follow the best path
But you see how you've switched from faithfulness and authenticity to simulation.
I agree, the faithfulness of the track layout is a doozy. Should be in there, no excuses. It's fact. Black and white.
But AI behaviour is tough to code. Because we want it to be human, especially in racing. Vettel's AI handicap is probably in the 0.95 region, until he's rattled, then he becomes Spinbastian. I don't know how you code that, because he can go wheel to wheel and be daring. He can also go wheel to wheel and there is contact which usually ends badly with him denying any kind of causal responsibility (i.e. he becomes Schumacher).
How do you code Romain Grosjean? Ultra fast (well, compared to KMag generally) but has a tendency to spiral into a blame culture? Then you have Magnussen himself, quiet and getting on with it, usually not a million miles off and then gets an attack of the vapours and starts using the car as a weapon (or at least very aggressive with the positioning). 0 to DEFCON 2 in a moment.
I could go on....suffice to say comparing them to a made up cowboy who may or may not have to drop a line of information in the right circumstances a little of a stretch.

1 minute ago, mikyesposto95 said:curb on turn 1, curb on the left at the entrance to the castle. In the game some curbs are too high, while in the onboard of bottas they are lower 😉 a manufacturer who wants to improve accepts these recommendations. I want to enjoy everything in a game, and the track must also be realistic as in reality
I agree with the kerb detail. Hopefully, someone at Codemasters will use these for reference. There is, I am sure, time to get some of these in through the patch cycle. However, we will have to show some understanding if the 2020 events either take place late or not at all and 2019 references will have to do.

2 hours ago, mikyesposto95 said:if Codemasters had been inspired by the attention to detail of the last of us or by Red dead redemption 2, a masterpiece would have come out. Those that are games that have realism as a clear target. I hope with the new consoles, a physics that focuses on simulation and an obsessive attention to every single detail, starting from the laser scanner of the circuits to the sound of the machine even closer to reality. A new cycle must be opened, with a clean cut compared to the past
How can you compare "realism" to two fantasy games? 🤣

Decide for yourself 🙂
Also, decide for yourself the insanity of the F1 link restrictions that YT are mandated to....you can still watch this on YT.

8 minutes ago, Getts0388 said:Thank very much for the response. I kinda figured that I would have to double check while at Gamestop paying for my preorder. Since I am stuck at work all day and want to get home ASAP to practice before I qualify Baku weekly event (with a cold beer), I will call there at noon today to see what I can find out. I will post what they tell me here once I speak to someone at Gamestop. I could also switch to plan B. Which is buy it as a digital download and buy a hard copy later for archives. I just hate putting data on my external HDD. I'm afraid it will fail on me. Thanks again for the response and everything you do for us.
Have a backup drive. This is where consoles suck a bit, however all your store purchases are linked to your account and should be redownloadable?

4 minutes ago, ProDriver said:@steviejay69 yep, for that reason, when other drivers clarify me the situation by Teamspeak, I let them pass me and recovery my position. min 31:35 of the video.
You know that under yellow flags sometimes you can pass other drivers without penalty...
Yeah, but not like you did and the game awarded you the penalty without notifying. It's a game bug, I agree with you.

1 hour ago, GeorgeArgy said:i was with 1909 in the 1st place and i had giga problems. now i updated to 2004 with the hope that the problem would be fixed but...
I have a RX580 that works fine on 20.1.3 or 20.2.2* driver. Option drivers are effectively beta. Recommended are WHQL - currently 20.4.2 AFAIK.
*There is a texture / lighting / reflections issue at Monaco (tunnel) on UL/L setting, but this has been replicated in 450.99 on Nvidia too so it's a game issue.

Computer subsystem performance is always useful. There is a world of difference between an old 5400rpm SATAII HDD with say 8MB of cache and a SATAIII SSD.
SSHDs are better for reading (improve load times of frequently used files), so as a system disk (Windows) or as a game store will improve that. Using recording software, maybe not so much as that depends on write times and whilst they may be better than standard SATA drives (usually because of bigger caches, typically 64MB and up) the spindle speed may become a factor.
Unfortunately many SSHDs go the green route of lower power consumption; lower spindle speed and rely on the SSD caching (up to 8GB) and the larger RAM cache (64GB and up) but the cache is often used for write buffering on the SSD and through-writes to the HDD.
SATAIII has hit the limit with MLC and TLC SSD.
The newer interface is M.2 to NVMe using PCI-E lanes at 3.0 and up. Be careful, as SATA drives can come in an M.2 package.

OK (and having used Leagues once or twice I now know that the keys are signifying people who own or administer the league).
You still overtook under yellow flags though.
-
OK, so we leave the firmware. (You can check it is updated by using HWiNFO)
There is a WER about the XBox Gaming Overlay, can you try disabling it (Settings|Gaming|Game Bar) turn the slider to off.
Also from the same menu, try turning off Game Mode (Settings|Gaming|Game Mode).
Maybe DDU the driver as a last resort - this is a "Hail Mary" 🙂

Thank you for following the advice @exchequer. Can you try verifying your game files in Steam and giving it one last try?
If this still doesn't work (in the light of little feedback from other TX users) I would contact the developer liaison f1beta@codemasters.com and send a link to this thread.
I see little chance of this issue being addressed in the F1 2019 patch cycle, but they should be able to ensure it is correct for F1 2020.
Until then, there's always this (and £shop stickers to put near the buttons);
Sorry I can't help more.

F1 2020 on Windows 7 ?
in Technical Assistance
Posted
Minimum and recommended spec is Windows 10.
You will be in a world of pain on Windows 7 because the OS is unsupported and so by definition is YOU running the game on W7, no obligation to solve because in fact if the issue is an underlying OS issue, there will be no fix.
There were issues in W7 game connectivity because of a deprecated protocol. I strongly advise that for security and compatibility you update to W10.
YOU CAN DO THIS FOR FREE WITH THE MCT (use a 1909 version as there are stop / hold issues with 2004)
W8/8.1 is a dead end with driver development as it does not support DX12, so the OS is supported but the API isn't. So although drivers are released for DX11 they aren't always designed for W8/8.1. AMD and Nvidia in this respect still release W7/W10 drivers in 64-bit only.
