Taking the absolute mickey

Recommended Posts

Seriously interested, are these coders and designers simply not good at their jobs or are they lazy>??? Plethora of bugs and glitches have led to THREE patches in less than 2 weeks, and even the latest one has fixed somethings while adding new bugs!

Twice I managed amazing first laps at Baku to salvage an awful quali, and twice the game has crashed while watching a replay! Absolutely unacceptable year in year out, the sad thing is only one studio has the licence for F1 and so even after the disappointments we are again made to purchase from them.

Disgrace.

Codemasters rocks. 

The only thing about codemasters I dont like is this forum. They need like a comunity crew who will be on the forum to answer questions more often.

Getting overtaken under yellows , this replay situation, some weird boxy overlay appearing over the whole screen while turning into the sun, SC delta jumping around like a kangaroo, and these are all post-patch. The rest of the bugs and glitches are well documented on the forum

I'd have thought that after various YouTube people tested the game for Codemasters, bugs would have appeared and been fixed.

The only one I have experienced is being passed under yellow but that was because I didn't keep up the pace I needed to. The game has only been out for alittle over a month. Isnt it alittle early to be this upset to the point of belittling the codemasters employees?

well you have to keep in mind that many testers could play this game for months and still not have time to play every track with every car with every game settings and options combination to finds all the bugs that pop up for what ever reason. Just not enough time to do that in a yearly released game. Not to mention the graphic bugs from the new things like fov and seat adjustments and other new features like that.

Moronic statement is moronic.  Please state a single game that is released bug free.  You're actually whining that codemasters are fixing bugs with patches (quite quickly I may add)?  So you prefer they not support the game and leave as is?  I've been dissapointed with previous F1 releases but this year they have nailed it.

I'm sorry, I forgot that these forums are patrolled by the codieArmy who are unwilling to open their eyes and keep trumpeting that everything is perfect... 
I must just be old school, when I buy something I expect it to work, just the way I am pal.

Here we go again..

No game is bug free from the start nowadays.
2 patches within two weeks atleast to me show that they are trying to solve it.

Keep up the good work codies!

Yeah, and we on Xbox One have to wait 2 years for the first patch and another 2 for the next one..

Which isn't Codemasters' fault at all. PC patches have been coming thick and fast, with the same patches submitted for the other platforms at the same time. You can only blame Sony and MS here.

Not saying the game doesn't have bugs - it does, as well as other annoyances by design - but clearly they've tried this year to make it as good as possible.

Not blaming anyone but it's such a shame that we have to wait this long :(

Thats just plain stupid! The point is he has purchased it and is not satisfied with the product and given that codies have failed time and again I think he has every right to complain.The game is riddled with bugs none of them game breaking like last year but they are there and the OP has every right to question the testing of the game and patches.

well they could do the xbox patch first then do the other because they know xbox tests patches and takes longer. I know that sounds unfair but at least every platform will be on the same version of the game at the same time. Xbox is two game versions behind every one else. We cant even talk about the game because we are so far behind the other platforms. I also have to mention I have gotten many patches for many different games and none of them have been this long waiting after the other platforms have gotten it. Something isn't right.
