IMPORTANTLY. Letter opened Codemasters

Recommended Posts

From our forum and it´s 50 members, we would like yo to read this reflection we do, cause the work of Codemasters can´t be worse at this moment. Due to you, we don´t know if we could do our championship, at this moment it´s completely impossible.
Before version 1.0.3 playing online was fine, problems were few and it looks like the game was stable. When you put the patch 1.0.3 the game off and online are a real mess and the patch 1.0.4 don´t fixed anithing, all the games look like the same. I would like you put your attention on fixing the real problems of the game and not in stupidities as if the helmet is smaller than other. It´s being your mistake.
To run an online championship in good conditions there must be conditions that must be met:
1º. Online stability must be fine and at this moment, there are many players that have error messages and disconnections, it looks likes if there are more than 10 players the online game becomes being unstable. You gave as the possibility to make online champioships with 22 players.
2º. The qualifing finished when it starts and the players don´t have time to do it, so it´s impossible to play in that way.
3º. At the race, cars become transparent, cars that go one side and another of the road, very serious accidents but the safety car doesn´t come out, lags when a car comes near to another, bug when you choose a tire and the game put the mandatory tire and disqualify you at the last lap, bug in tire strategy at the start, the players behind 10 can´t choose the star tire, massive drops of the players.
4º. About the settings, nothing to say, cause you every year make it the same and don´t understand what a single-seater must do with one or other settings.
5º. The single-seater when safety cars goes out of the race is controlled by the Playstatios so the leader can´t start the race again and it is dangerous for the players whithout traction control.
6º. We record the races from the spectator mode and the cars do what I said in point 3.
7º. The tire regulations is wrong, if you put a mandatory tire it forces you to put the second mandatory tire, it happens sometimes, not always, for a championship it´s a mess.
Surely I forget many things but honestly I say you that this game can´t be played, it´s a real mess in many ways, every year we hope something better from you and when we think than a year can´t be worse than the last one, you surprise us with a game full of faults, you are selling us a beta when you should have sold us a big finished game. Your credibility is about to end. Several patches and the game is worse, it´s a real mess. Don´t you test your patches? I think not, cause if you´d test the patch, this things would not pass. Please fix the cause we can´t play with this game, be a few serious and work for fixing these faults. We trust you a year and other, and other......  and you don´t mess us. We want a F1 game , it´s simple, and if you can´t do it, finish cheating us every year, at least in my country, in all the forums says that Codemasters is the worst videogames company of all the times.

Sadly, I agree with this. I'm a part of 3 websites and all 3 have said a similar thing. If they could revert online back to 1.02 with some small changes such as an option to remove the disconnection.

I agree with you guys. I am really frustrated: I seriously hoped code masters learned from their error and from f1 2015 fail, f1 2016 at launch was a great game and now is just as f1 2015

If they would go back 1.02 and then slowly and solidly work on it then I'm sure the real and hardcore fans would be prepared to wait a little.

It not like you don't know there will be more patchs in the months ahead to fix issues the game has. Being this tore up so early in the get go seems alittle premature don't you think? I mean the game is barely a month old.

Iam sure codies didnt expect this problems,
and iam sure they are looking into it, they did release a good game and now its broken at some points, that was not their intention.
we must al hope they find the issue and give out a good patch. 
I did some online races with friends and i agree its much worse than it was.
but when a friend brought his xbox and wheel to my home and did some races there really wherent any issues. But when i race online with friends who lives here about 500 meters away there where troubles..

The thing that worries me is that they introduce new bugs every time they release a patch.

Yeah agree on that mate, sad thing is that it was the same like this in 2015, they fix things on one side but on the other end things get messy.
just hope they find the thing that mess some things up.

Ermmm have you met codies before? The way things work is release broken game,release patch to fix said game but introduce more bugs,release patch for patch and repeat until January then give up and move on to next game.

unfortunately this is exactly what happened with f1 2015. I know it could be rude to say, but these are the facts. I seriously thought they wanted to change direction with 2016...yes it is just one month since launch but I am very worried history will repeat again. I enjoyed the game a lot in the first two weeks, now I am not playing it anymore because there is always something not working properly since patch 1.0.3

So true. The first weeks, all my friends enjoid  the game. We all had a lot of fun.
But since the patch 1.0.3 the most guys are very angry and dont play it.

I think the most guys are very angry and have zero patience.

@ Jennyannem  can you removed the patch 1.03 from Microsoft. When we install the game new, than we have the old good game.
After you have enough time to find solution's for the patch 1.0.3  issues

Perhaps one of the issues for all this disconnect regarding bug fixes has to do with Codemasters handing over the code to their Indian leg in Pune for bug fixes and this is the result.  I'm not saying that Indian develops cannot code, I'm saying that sometimes there is disconnect from the big picture that only the English based team may be aware of.  Perhaps they should keep all bug fixes in-house and we'll have better quality. I see this all the time happening in my career where the offshore team instead of fixing breaks code all the more.

Really??? You do realize that there are more English speaking Indians in India than in England and the United States COMBINED, right?

There is more to it than just speaking English. There may be some specific characteristics of the original developers coding style that is not easy to transfer over to a new group of developers. Idk if this is the issue but it's possible

Also can you provide a source for that info? Because a quick google search shows that is absolutely not true

Totally agree with you man, very insightful observation. Don't know how true it is, but good one!
