I just bought the ps4 version of the game and I'm really disappointed about the difficulty levels. Expert is too easy and Legend is too hard. Will this be fixed?

I'm serious. I just read that CM added another difficulty level called "Master" for the PC version. Will this be available for consoles too?

Yes. Coming soon. I think it will be next week or something. At least I hope :smile:

Regarding difficulty, my main issue with the game at this point is:

AI is way too slow when the track is wet. I really want this to be fixed. My wet races are so unreal, I finish first when I should finish mid grid.

I got Button as rival in abu dhabi in my Manor. 

I went to mclaren in thr 2nd season.

My teammate is Alonso but Button is still my Rival. 

I didnt start a race yet, cause im waiting for the patch. Button isnt racing anymore. Will get another rival if I start qualifying?

Two problems I realized playing 50% race.

When entering the SC on track. And all are in queue. If you are too close to some pilot shows on the screen for you to follow the front.

And the virtual SC. A person passed me, I passed her back and took punishment 5s in pit lane. This is very boring.

PC version patch 1.6

Seconded. I'd normally turn the difficulty up a notch to balance things out, but if the weather's changeable, there's nothing I can do.

Also, an unrelated issue, I was given a drive-through penalty for speeding in the pitlane. Next lap, I come in to serve my penalty, but instead I end up getting my wheels changed again and losing me extra time. I had planned to serve it on that lap simply because Kvyat was around 18 seconds behind me, and I could've come out ahead of him, but this bug ruined all that.

I have a question: Is it possible to disable the ghost function if somebody disconnect? It is very annoying in League Racing when someone disconnect and there are stupid AI Cars in the Track who shouldnt be there. Thats a big Problem in my opinion.

Put the ai to lowest level, in this case they dont really disturb  ;)

Reading through this thread and others sees a whole host of different issues.

As silly as this may sound, is it not more approachable to have a section for "each" version of the game, i.e. PC, Xbox One, PS4?

Specific issues can then be identified and collated separately and then worked upon. Or is that common sense?

Finding information is appalling about this game and is a big issue for  small or big communities and users alike.

Trying to run a league with 22 committed drivers from various locations is a pain in the arse.

Since the patches have started rolling out on XB1, the connection has become horrendously unstable, guys with decent connections being told that they've got yellow bars / red bars, then when you get in a race people disconnect and a MAJOR SPIKE of lag causes issues either by retiring from the race, leaving the lobby or people joining to spectate / re-join the game.

The collision system (probably due to the connection) sees major accidents when there is slightest contact on realistic damage settings as well...

We're actually trying to collate bugs/issues to pass back to you guys, but as it stands the information is poorly communicated back to your audience and although its been an improvement since 2015, its still not enough and we're starting to see people lose interest because of it.

Sorry for a bit of a rant, seeing decent and committed people be so angry and upset with things about the game takes its toll not just for those using the game, but those who want to see communities and leagues formed and created.

Seems to me like an hardware-issue.
I have the T300RS with the F1-rim, no Problem on my end.
Are you sure your rim is connected properly to the Wheel base?

Hiya,  Thrustmaster tell me it's a game issue and codemasters are yet to identify one or the other, or even if they know this is an issue.  My only response from CM (a forum moderator that is) via twitter is, "we'll investigate"...
I have updated my wheel base's firmware to the lastest version as advised by Thrustmaster, but I still have the problem... 
The rim is definitely connected properly considering I can play F1 2015 perfectly fine, no issues at all, other than when coming out of pit lane the game sometimes doesn't give you control of the car right away and you're left cruising with no steering, but that is nothing compared to the issues in F1 2016 and the T500rs (F1 rim).
It's obvious that Thrustmaster's "help desk" is an outsourced provider just concerned with getting queries closed and not resolved.  All I get from them is "you can download the lastest firmware here" and "codemasters have been advised of the T500 wheels requirements".  I wont be buying a thrustmaster ever again, which is sad because they make damn good wheels, just a shame about their support...
I love F1 2016, it's the best release yet, but it's frustratingly hard to play with these bugs killing my joy!
Have my fingers crossed Codies come to the rescue (well one can only live in hope)
