CODIES i hope you are working on fixing the screen tearing on pc...it's almost unplayable sometimes...Game is fun btw :smile:

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

Yeah and i'm not the only one complaining... Vsync is not working, tearing continues. Even on low settings is bad to play

Some things I would like to see corrected

1) Improve the textures

2) Have less rain during training and races

3) Better the Mercedes car, since Ferrari has a much higher pace

I should've waited until after the patch to change my gearbox. Oh well, I'm only 3 races into my career, so I may restart.

CM -
1) Please sort out the low texture issues on PS4 (drivers helmets, gloves, clothes, logos. 
Sometimes they render and other times they dont.
2) While racing Jeff keeps saying please repeat that when no voice command is given (MIC is off so there is no way its picking up sound)
3) Sometimes after a race where there has been no Safety Car, the cut scene video says the whole race was decided when the SC came out
4) When doing the career invitational race at Silverstone, while racing you see the rubber bits from off the racing line in front of the car the whole time while on racing line, looks very weird.

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.

That sounds awfully like what I remember from '16

In all honesty I think this isn't a problem so huge. I've done four races in my career and I outqualified my teammate Daniel Ricciardo twice. But in the race we always have very close race pace to each other, like 1/2 tenths difference

After the Patch i had a Race in Carrier in canada an Perez just changed tyres and Drives out the pit trough the 2nd corner and then he flys up in the air and flys back to the pit changing tyres in the air and then flys back to turn 1 and 2 and was landing on the Grass and got a disqualifikation for driving in wrong way. I have a Video. How should i Sent it to you guys? Sry for the Bad englisch.

Edit: on Monaco the Safety car was on the Track but i got no Information about the SC that it Comes this round in the Box. I think it just dissapeard.

Are you joking? Why did not you solve the problems with a long download, a black screen, a sound? What a pathetic patch !!

Hello!

I have a problem on the PS4.

Full Qualifying:

In the second stint at the final of Q3, always remain several cars in the garage. (Bottas, Vettel, Raikkonen, ...). 

The Problem is in every Qualifying (Q3)! (Grand Prix, Championship-Season, Carrier).

Please fix this problem.

Best regards

Is the sound being fixed Jeff is so quiet? And I think the ai needs looking at they are super fast in practice and qually and are so slow in race!! You should have a serperate difficulty for qually and race sessions would sort so many issues 

There is a workaround for this problem, set your prefered ai strength for qual and back out to menu after qualifying is ended and change ai difficulty for race pace to your liking, yea, i know it sucks, but do not count on a fix from Codies, this problem has been included from the start of the series.

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





This huge bug (bad coding) is what makes me give up playing this series of games after a couple of months, it is extremely sad that they still haven't solve this problem.

Folks, if you have unrelated bugs to report, please don't just randomly add them all to this thread. Start or join an appropriate thread for each one in the Technical Assistance forum as requested, as that will make it a lot easier for CM to find and triage them.

To give you an update: patch 1.5 is now live on all platforms!

[MattkD37 62]

@jennyannem quick question about the patch. Was the engine wear bug looked at for 100% races as well? I've got 50% wear on the ICE after 2 races

[rmgtoonz 0]

Hi,
So far i really like the game, the wheel settings on PS4 are much better than before. 
Just one quick question, ive noticed that some textures are pixelated (not a show stopper) but with all the 4K ready and HDR game's settings, its kind of a shame to see pixelated textures on the cars and drivers suits, any chance of that being updated via a Patch? Maybe like downloading a High-Res texture pack or something?

Thanks! Great game so far.

I've not seen any mention of this so far, surely I'm not the only one still with this problem!?

I mentioned before that the entire grid was taking penalties for races, which made qualifying pointless and the grid a complete lottery (All Sauber front row :/ ). Gearboxes were scaled and I was hoping that solves the problem, but no...

I even conducted my own experiment and changed every possible element to ensure I had the maximum penalty. I Q'd 17th in my Sauber... And still started P3...

Thankfully 90 rated AI corrects this pretty quickly... But this has been every single race since Hungary, and I'm now in Mexico...

Kudos to CM getting patches out so quickly! I respect that. But some of these problems seem bigger than a quick fix...

about the wear bug :
i see on the patch notes you fixed the 25% race length
what about the 50% and 100% ?
those fixed also ?
i played at 100% and i think it is not bugged, but some people say that the 50% length version needs fixing as well
can you please let us know the status of this wear bug ?
thank you

Just had a 3 lap Grand Prix race at Monza  with the new patch applied, But after crossing the line on the first lap bottas apparently did a 19 second lap, then a new fastest lap popped up by ricciardo which was a 3 minute lap...

[Ramyaboushady 0]

After installing the patch I still have the following issues (PS4)

1. Engineer randomly asks "You are breaking up, say again" etc. on the radio;
2. Drivers helmets, suits gloves pixelate 90% of the time;
3. AI sometimes drive like a robot train only a few meters apart for more than the "usual" 3 laps;
4. On 50% races on full race weekend I can only complete 2-3 weekends with one component. (mostly 1 or 2 durability upgrades present);
5. The AI swap out gearboxes (and collect a penalty for it) at 10 drivers a race (starting around spain/monaco) so when I qualified 20th I started the race in 11th;
6. AI pit-stop strategy is shakey sometimes, example: Safetycar at monaco, I was very uncompetitive (like 2 sconds of the pace in quali) and I won the race from 11th position (qualified 20th see above) because the AI failed to come in and change tires (like they should) and I did. Wehrlein came in second and Vandoorne 3rd.

mm... wow, here is the patch for the serious bug???!! this patch don't fix the real problem of the game!

I hope that the new patch will arrive at least for tomorrow

Pixeled Textures and the damn simulated lap times in Qualifying makes me angry again and again! This two points please fix asap!!

I really do not understand why so many people are whining about the wear rate of the engine components and gearbox. I use my old units for the practice sessions and then drop in less worn ones for the races. Even with only the first reliability upgrade fitted I made it to Canada and only used up two complete units. I just fitted the upgrade for a further wear reduction to the gearbox and the ICE and there is a noticeable improvement in the wear rate already.

If career mode started out with a much lower wear rate on all the components and you could complete the required number of events with careful driving to never need additional components then what would be the point of having the reliability R&D branch? I do 50% races and find it a nice challenge to balance my driving style between the different engine modes and revs. I hope this aspect of the game is not changed too much as it would take away any need to look after the car or dedicate resources to reliability. Lets face it in real life a fast but unreliable car scores how many points....
