Patch 1.5 discussion thread

[xProSkater1997x 0]

Thanks for the patch! Also want to say i really enjoy this game and was quite surprised on how big an improvement it was over 2016, love it! :) 
Now for the bugs i have encountered so far:
- AI slightly too fast in Qualy (as many people addressed)
- "loading problem" (i dont know if it's just on my screen, but sometimes certain objects and people are blurred out like it doesn't render the skins and stickers fully..)
- The grid girls who hold a drivers number during start sequence: from what i've seen the numbers aren't there, its just a black board with the drivers name only.
- In some situations after a race Anthony Davidson doesn't speak during celebrations - also happened in one of Tiametmarduk's F1 career episodes on Youtube.
I think that's all i encountered so far. Nevertheless, like i said, its a great game, really love it, the only bug out of all i mentioned that gets annoying is probably the loading thing.. it looks odd you see a drivers helmet(-design), suit, face etc. all blurred out while the cars are fully rendered. The gloves of my Haas driver are always blurred out when im out on track, also my helmet.

The IA have cheats in the Barcelona's track, they do some strange and irregulars times, I cant'n fight with they, I did't have this problem in the others tracks

Another thing that should be fixed:
- After practice sessions or qualifying I get kicked back to the main menu, even now I was doing Q1 and instead of loading Q2 I was also back in the main menu. Its a small thing, but I just wanted to mention it.

need a fix for the imbalance of quali and race pace.

constantly being 18-20th on the grid and then finishing the race 5-8th isn't fun.

Its not just 25% races the engine wear is to high. 50% is also bugged but not as bad

50% is just fine, as stated several times before,I dont think the point of career mode is to jump in a car and be at the top in one or two seasons, I am currently in Singapore with at least 2 upgrades to each engine component, just changed to GB 3, there is a method to R&D in this year's game as there should be, i find 50% great and a bit challenging.

I started my career in a Sauber (why would you start in a top team) on 50% distance. I've arrived at Canada and I'm using 3rd elements of most things. In Monaco I put used elements in for 1st practice to try and save wear but the GB died. I might restart my career after Canada if things haven't improved to see if that aids the patch but I'll probably wait til the being overtaken under SC issue is resolved first. Its a new game. There are bound to be bugs. I'd be more disappointed if CM weren't listening but they clearly are.

@jennyannem the patch notes has the incorrect spoken language in Brazil. The country's official language is Portuguese and not Brazilian..

50% is not fine. My Williams gearbox was at 50% during my second race. I do full qualifying as well. I agree R&D shouldn't only last two seasons and I love the enhanced R&D this game, but having gearboxes last two races before showing issues is not right. My ICE reached 60% after two rounds, and my turbo charger a bit less. That's quite a bit over-the-top, wouldn't you say?

I hope they fix the force feedback problem :/

Last night in an online race my FF suddenly was gone, and just a moment ago in career (Australia, Red Bull) my wheel suddenly feels a lot lighter... what the hell is this kind of annoying magic? :/

Playing on PS4 with a Logitech G29 and before anyone asks, i have never ever had this weird problem before (Project Cars, F1 15, F1 16, ETS2)

EDIT: So i just restarted my PS4 and tried in time trial if the FF was okay again. It was. Then i continued with my career race and heeey there's the much lighter wheel again! I was really happy about the new game at first, but the longer i play it, the more little annoying things are happening. :(

That sounds awfully like what I remember from '16

I wouldn´t say that they are that much slower ,but on 90% difficulty i find them braking really early on some corners and they are not aggressive enough when defending their position or triyng to overtake me, in most of the time i can easily outbrake them again ,even if they get pass me..AI still isn´t as good as i was hoping on overtaking part.

Hello!! Thanks for the really quick updates. I'm not sure if it is just mine I hope not but the numbers on the cars keep disappearing and the quality of people and there clothes are not very good as sometimes they are amazing

[FRACTURED 30]

Yeah have a friend who is having a hard time with career as AI simply drive into the back of him rather than go off the racing line, like the AI has an expectation he should get off the racing line and go defensive. It's one of the few things I don't get overly angry about as it's very difficult to code I imagine. I love pCars but the AI will drive off track, 2 wheels on the grass just to avoid you, and won't lose any speed. 
Yet if you exit pits and have to warm tyres, they're all complete maniacs, happy to bash you off cos their tyre model is different, stuff you.

Having the exact same problem, steering feels very light. Codemasters you need to fix this wheel problem, Logitech G29 for PS4

[ffigueir 13]

There is a discrepancy between AI level in practicing vs qualifying vs race. Each weekend day requires a different AI level. They are always too fast in practice (not real at all) they have a good pace on qualifying and when it comes to the race, they are not fast enough. I always feel the need to increase the AI by 2 or 3 levels before the race begins.

Indeed... such dedication to the cause is admirable. Not forgetting we just had a bank holiday in-between the patches!! I'll let you off the fact two of my engines have been destroyed in three races!

@jennyannem:
Is there a possibility (or already existing?if yes where?) to get an overview which "bugs" are already noticed by Codemasters and "on the list" for improvement?
I guess this would help all users and you(CM) wont get 10 topics to the same issue?!

We need such thing:

Issue / Status
Example: Low Texture Issue / Pending
Example: Multiplayer DSQ Issue / Solved with 1.04
Example: 25% Race Length Wear Issue / Solved with 1.05

Yes perfect... that would avoid so many requests!

[TeS Roland 19]

Thanks for addressing the issues so soon. Too bad Microsoft is so slow. Still 1.3 here

Screen tearing on PC? Turn on your VSync! I've not seen a single screen tearing issue on PC?

Maybe, however I took my initial 3000 R&D points and upgraded durability of my parts, I didn't have an issue with parts until Spain, changed to my 3rd gear box after Italy, my GB wears at about 6% per weekend fully upgraded, thats with full quali and doing all practice sessions.

[FOneFanatic 181]

Not even a week and there is a patch! Wow, not bad at all. But to me these are minor issues as I'm focusing now only on Time Trials and Quick Races. Hope to get into the real GP stuff shortly, but for now I'm just enjoying the new cars and tracks and the amazing physics of this game that seems to be improving my Forza game play! Excellent job on putting  out finally a fantastic game in every way Codemasters! 

[SirDriftalots 0]

I think Codemasters deserve to be commended for the speed at which these reported problems were sorted and addressed with patch releases.
So, thank you CM for your swift action, lets just hope thsee fixes don't lead to a whole bunch of other problems rearing their ugly heads. 
Cheers.
