Xbox One patch notes - 09/09/2016

Anyone else getting crackly sound in 7th and 8th gear. Sounds horrible all of a sudden. 

EDIT: It's actually the car along the floor seems to have been enhanced since the patch. My bad

OK, the Safety Cars are now far too often. I had one car break down in my race, it pulled off the track, and that triggered the Safety Car. Thats too much! 4 laps driving round behind the Safety Car just because a car pulls off the track. 

Maybe the car pulled off to a position that required a safety car to recover it? Does anybody watch F1?

Too often? The patch has only been out an hour and you've done one race!

Anyone tried Multiplayer? How is it? STABILTY? LAG? GLITCHES? BUGS?

How do I know if it's installed? What version should it be showing on the home screen? Mine shows 1.2.0 currently

Yes, and I had 3 Safety Cars! None were actually accidents One spin, recovered before the Safety Car even deployed and 2 retirements (both cars well off track).

The lobby search is utter crap.

Can Set;
Race Distance: 3 laps/5 laps/25%/50%/100%
Qualifying: None, One-Shot, Short, Full
Practice: 30/60/90mins

Such a joke. What is the point of setting a custom lobby up that nobody outside your friends can find other than through blind luck. Seriously. Ridiculous decision codemasters, why have open custom lobby but No way to search the lobby like the other systems when we have seen it done. I know I've read the reason somewhere but its B.S. if other games can do it.
You have not even added the freaking options that would have made the lobby finder anything other than a band-aid after realising post release that we had no way to search the list of available custom lobbies.

Is everyone so thick that you thought those would be the best search options? And only 3 options?

What about damage level to root out the basher lobbies or the non contact tt style lobbies some enjoy.
What about assists level seeing as everyone has an opinion on what assists are overpowered.
What about adding a way to differentiate wheel users so they could set up/find wheel only lobbies?
What about weather?
What about AI level of the lobby?
What about minimum number of racers?
Simulation/strict or reduced rules and track boundaries?
Equal or 2016 performance?
Track Selection option? (Find me a race at Spa)

Do you just not care at all, or is the issue the level of coder working there?

Really? I did 2 races since the patch and haven't seen one, you might get 1 or 2 in one race but mightn't see one for a few more races.

For the people that want to know: Yes, there are sparks.

+ 1

I still can't avoid assist users and since you've made them so OP public lobbys are pointless

Thanks for that

[FRACTURED 30]

I don't even mind if people runs assists, if they clean it's all good. Eventually should close the pace gap. But nothing to be done about the dirty assists users. In a coming together, the unassisted guy is spun off every time without fail, will get the worst of any damage, and will get any penalty.

A guy in a lobby last night, about a second a lap slower than me (and I'm not fast), but impossible to pass. With assists he can just swing the car from side to side all the way up the straights. If we touch I crash and get the penalty but no warning for swerving in the game and the assists will keep him straight regardless.

No way to stop the scumbags, so give us the options to avoid them.
Also your skip track and kick user options are often broke. There are 22 people in a lobby, we want to kick one. Why are we voting out of 26 when there are 22? Get to 12 wanting to kick but it doesn't kick the guy as we must have needed 14 votes. The hell is that about.
Same in skip track, in a twelve man lobby the votes were out if 19, vote lost despite 7/12 in favour.

PS your career mode is pretty good.

So guys have any of you tried a large multiplayer race to test the patch? Hope it's not ruined the online for you as it has on the PS4 for us.

Just tested the patch online and it's not good news, I was in a sprint race and out in front, yet cars just came out of no where and were suddenly first! Even when people were leaving the lobby, they were being shown as first still! Also it takes a lot longer to find a lobby....regarding the traction control, it has been made too easy! I loved the original handling and mastered it pretty well. The curbs at Canada and Abu Dhabi have been changed, you can fly across them now without you're car losing balance. The single player is where the improvement has been made, the AI are much better! They'll actually get right up alongside you and race you! Just make sure you keep checking you're mirrors! 

[FOneFanatic 181]

Well, I'm going to download this just as soon as I get home today! Hope the patch is A OK !!!

After the patch the force feedback feels way weaker. The car feels floaty, like it has no weight at all. Kinda like in f1 15. I made a thread about it.

http://forums.codemasters.com/discussion/46210/has-patch-1-3-changed-the-force-feedback

[Icemanrk 3]

Thank you so much for fixing the crash issue for the practice program

[Luke1991 6]

Not liking the patch so far.

The handling feels weird, there is less force feed back and it's almost like there is traction control even with no assists. Why has the off set t-cam been changed again? It was fine the way it was.

One bug I've found though is that the brake discs on all cars are constantly glowing red??? Come on, seriously.

[JP072 2]

Cars online are glitching...dissapear sometimes, cant watch the tv feed in tcam anymore, i want to see the line my friends are driving more closely. 

In career the game looks better with less frame drops, thats deff a good thing. 

Iam wondering how much a friend and i will complain tomorrow cause we planned to start a new championship online...

iam not satisfied, and have doubts about this, 

[HunterStayl 8]

The Online mode is complete broken. Some drivers are not able to turn in... Cars are drifting every time. This makes Wheel to Wheel fights horrific.. I qualify on Supersoft but at the start i've got softs... The spectator cam is also Broken.... The front wing change feature is just one big bug with despawning cars at the end of the pitlane..
The driver in the box is glitching every time..
And the Handling is broken too...

Nearly full traction on all kerbs
Nearly full traction everywhere
Abs off didn't feels like Abs off

The Car feels complete different as before the patch and the tyre wear also changed...

Goodjob Codemasters this patch is just an overkill for the game...

Please just give us the previous build back.. The Game was stable and good to drive!

[matt231985 26]

The custom lobby search they've introduced is awful!!! It's not what we wanted at all!!!!
we want the system they had between 2010-14. How hard can it be??
you had it!!!
its still blind luck finding a lobby. I'm still unable to join a lobby I like the look of. Ridiculous Codemasters!!! 
How hard can it be???

[wonderwall01 0]

Kinda disappointed with the custom lobby search. Why not just bring back a server browser like the previous generation games had. 

[matt231985 26]

... There's no option to search for a specific track, or customised assists....
and what the hell is the point returning a search result for a session already in progress? You want me to spectate?? I can see its on lap 1 of 56... I'll just wait until they've finished, huh?

[Dschinn 0]

Handling its definitly same as 2015
i drive with thustmaster tx italia 458

Tracion out of corners the its better now 
Brakes are better now PERFECT
WHEEL stering is same as 2015 feels little light not exactly and direct as the 2016
