Patch Notes - v1.5.0

[TorazChryx 0]

The big question is...

Will the AI still drive into the back of you when they have DRS (particularly notable around Germany, but they've been prone to it in Russia as well)

[newmanfan1 0]

Is the driver that runs into you torazchryx, Kimi? if so that's just like real life :-P.

Hi,
There are still some degree of bugs or questionable spots i have found.
Playing on PC myself and on Career
When safety car comes out but you got lappe by Nr1 driver. You are not allowed to lap and Nr2 is right behind you.
Then you get a Penalty for Illegal blocking even tho you can't go faster without hiting the first driver. I have received multiple Penalties cause of that situation.

AI Legend/Ultimate still do not know how to pass.
They start to gain you with DRS and when you slightly move to a defence position they do a switchback move and actually crash into you. Even tho you do not shut the door close by there is still 1 car gap on right side and on left side but AI still decides to crash into you.
That is another major issue i see in the game.

During Rain/inters AI is not competitive at all.
Example: On Legendary difficult when i drive a Mclaren, i am about +1 seconds slower then mercedes per lap.
But at Inters and Rain i am -0.8 seconds faster then the mercedes which is weird.

Another bug/feature that should be looked into:
When AI goes side by side in corner with either you or another AI car it is most likely going to be a crash. Because AI does not leave any room even if he divebombs.
Safety car comes out way too easily, someone does a slight spin and you get safety car.
When there are pieces of Break discs or someones front wings on the racing track, you drive over them and nothing happens to your car, is that suppose to be so? I thought you could get a puncture like that. Also if there is debris on the track it should be atleast yellow flags in that location.


Side Question:
Why you are not allowed to complete a formation lap? Always when you go near start line you get automatic control by AI, so you can't position your own car in a slight lean to cover off the one who starts next to you.


Also Additional thougths:
In my first race in career i had 5 AI-s DNF because of an engine blowup but i never managed to get an engine blowout myself even if i jam 1st gear and go 10 laps with full Revs.. Engine does not even heat up over 99 degrees(not turn yellow or red).
Is it possible to add in the game that you can blow up ur engine? have Suspension problems? ERS problems, Turbo problems and so on?
I see it as an unfair advantage to the player if you are racing for championship then your main contender has 4-5 engine blowups in 1 career while you get no issues.

Xbox 1.5.0 patch is not the same as ps4 1.5.0 patch u can manually look for multiplayer lobbies on the ps4 but can't on the Xbox this is just favouritism for ps4 .

It's got nothing to do with favouritism. It's because Microsoft think hopper lobbies are better so Codemasters have to have that on the Xbox side.

Please guys. Add more control bindings. So we can bind change fuel mix, tyre strategy, braking bias etc with the click of the button. Rather then tonns clicks of the buttons.
I have G29 and more then half of the onwheel buttons are without any binding. Please add advanced key bindings menu or something like that. So we can do so.
Thanks.

Please listen to this and people please click AGREE on @RIP21 post.

Yes the Cars are equal. I can drive ;) "I think " ^^ When I try to brake the brake points where the pad brake driver I slide off the track and get the curve not even.

Not true for me been racing with pad for around 5yrs, finally switched to Tx base and f1 rim... And now I am surpassing my lap times at almost all tracks as well as my consistency has improve over 80%, I'm mean going 50% races no replays, and Yes! I am sitting top 5% in leaderboards at almost all tracks.  Btw from the videos u need to get out of those lower gear way way faster

That's a very interesting comparison; what are your brake pedal settings on the wheel?

[Schu 0]

Not in my case, I'm over a second faster with pad and t-cam vs my TX/T3pa Pro and cockpit view and it's not as though I haven't had much practice with the wheel.
It's Much, much easier to balance brake/throttle/trail brake with the pad and I've tested this for a while now and my pad times are much quicker than with the TX. Don't really care mind you as I prefer realism over outright pace so I'll never be going back to pad racing :)

Austraila with pad + T-cam (no assists) = easy 1.25's or lower.
Australia with TX + Cockpit (no assists) = fastest 1.26.3s.

Totally agree I notice that when I switch to wheel. With the pad u can feel the throttle and the brake.. unlike using wheel setup. U have to learn the the pedal input makes u spin the rear tyres way way faster and worse u can't feel it..so In turn u need to get out  the lower gears ASAP ! (1st gear almost never' 2,3 and sometime 4gear you need to be out of the gear very very quickly... Tell me how that works out. Ur losing ur time when exiting corners once you get a handle on that you'll see what happens to ur lap times.. trail braking is also very important. 

[FireStormHR 0]

I now can't see what gear I'm in because I always play in cockpit.... Beside that there is also an pitstop bug with the crew inside your car at Brazil and therecently is a tyre regulation bug on Canada where 25% race ultra soft + super soft is  not allowed, and tour mus use the soft.

We need podium celebration in multiplayer, Nice detail for league races. The feeling of actually winning

Please add this codemasters ... multiplayer needs more depth to it. Would be much appreciated

[neruu009 0]

very detailed patch notes guys!, still having the input lag ffb disconnections problem.
i had no issues when i tested the game and it was very promising, now im very dissapointed. :/ 

[HugoAgante 0]

So far I found 2 bugs on the PC version of the patch: the gears not showing up that has been mentioned already and weird textures on the rearview mirrors, at least on the TV POD camera. 

I was doing a 25% quick race as Fernando Alonso in Baku when the issue happened.

Codemasters ( @jennyannem @Lozzy ) please fix this as soon as possible!

I love this game its the best f1 game so far. But if you do a classic patch like f1 2013 had but have cars from early 2000 as well.
And season challenges like 2012 2013 had.
Iv always wanted to play on earlier tracks from the 1990 2000s tracks like the French gp the old german track the track senna last raced on.
Otherwise im happy with the game keep up the good work

[AdamFreeman 224]

Finally installed the patch after loving the game 1.2 version, handling has definetly change car feels much lighter much like the older f1 games, very unhappy as i loved the handling before, changing such big parts of the game after we have already purchased is unacceptable in my eyes!

[elaborateruse 0]

Not sure how long this "bug" has been present for, but I've just noticed it today.  I was doing tyre wear programs at Austria, and in two of the three programs I went to pass a manor and he aggressively blocked the inside line.  I went further inside and when we got to the corner he straight turned into me.  This happened twice and ended my session both times. 

I'm all for more aggressive AI, especially if it means that they will defend their position.  But in freaking practice?  This has to be fixed ASAP because it's legitimately ruining practice sessions for me which is keeping me from getting the tyre wear data so I can strategize for the race.

[EnsiFerrum 84]

Experienced this behaviour as well.
In Spain in all Practice sessions and in all Qualifying Sessions with V1.3.1. And in Monaco in all practice sessions and in all Qualyfing sessions with V1.5.0. In Qualifying the AI comes out of the pits and at the end of the white line they pull over to the racing line no matter if you just started your flying lap and this manouver bring them right in front of you ans slow you massivly down.
