After 1.6 update patch the graphic quality is the same in my opinion. It's a difference between F1 2016 graphics quality and F1 2017. Low texture on the sky and I see curved lines on it when I turn left or right like in Spain race.(4 th corner). The track surface is a bit pixelated and the big problem is when I have spontaneous low framerates in online or trial mode.(very bad to drive with a wheel or other controllers in these conditions). I tried more video settings and I am not satisfied. Maybe the next patch will solve these graphics issues and will work like F1 2016.

Thanks but I ask for PS4, the main problem was on PS4 with helmets, gloves, faces and clothes etc.

No problem... In this case I replied about PC version. You're welcome.

Still experiencing the issue where a player retires from the session, then immediately leaving the session, subsequently leaving the retired car parked on or at the side of the track, with continuous yellow flags in the section, for the entire race.. which can ruin the race, especially if it’s in a well used overtaking zone

the retired player must wait one lap in the session then the car is gone away - for leagues okay but not normal online gaming with other (unknown) players (because they maybe will not wait in the session after they're retired)

I'm on Ps4 Pro and can confirm that the low resolution texture issues on the helmets / gloves have been resolved.

Low textures of helmets gloves clothing seems perfect now. 
But the sound volume seems to be very low now. All sounds from engine sound to menu effects etc.

Did they fix the problem with the AI qualify laps in Career Mode? Can I finally start a decent career now with this update?

[sirio994 270]

I think they fix the grip and the AI. I was very slow in the wet, just took the pole with Kimi in China (full qualify), prior to the patch i was constantly 10th or more (one shot qualify). Seems like the AI is now fully affected by the track's grip.

It was a full wet qualify from the start. Should try some dynamic sessions (wet to dry or dry to wet)

• Hi! I want to post about the safety car. Its never appears, only VSC but i have never see the safety car and i play a lot of races. Please check it.

[ed24 1]

I found the wet far too easy on the patch - but only one career race so far so could be just a one-off

Patch 1.6 on PS4 Pro (with boost mode active)

Has it fixed the low res issues? It has, providing you wait for them to load.

Just did Sochi 100% distance... had 2 Safety car periods and 1 VSC.  Safety car doesnt appear as much as 2016, but it is there.
also it allowed everyone to bunch up before pulling in now.

Really loving this patch. From what i've seen so far there are many (positive) changes not included in the notes...

[hardbaked 30]

I did my first season on 25% races and had possibly 3 SCduring that season. 
Season 2 now I'm doing all races on 50% and have done 5 races and had a SC twice now. 

What distance races are you doing? If I remember correctly from F1 2016 the lesser race distance made it more uncommon to get a SC

Like?

[sirio994 270]

AI affected by track's grip. The pace at beginning of each sessions, in inters and full wet. I'm courious to see if there are strategy changes (SC, weather conditions). 

PS: the pre race UI has changed. Now you can change the settings before the loading screen

Only news Xbox user have got it's live on PS4.

Why have not you released the 1.6 patch for Xbox One? They valued both the version for the next Xbox One X, but they are leaving the platform last to send these corrections. What's the problem? Why not launch along with the fixes for Pc and PS4, where does the pc use the same operating system platform that the Xbox One uses? What criteria were used to prioritize pc and ps4 and not Xbox One at the same time? We want Codemasters answers. We are consumers like any other from any other platform. Why this lack of attention to the Xbox One platform?

The way you can search for online rooms is ridiculous. Before they did not see each other, but now they do not even know what there is. Does CM really laugh at us? Who are the professionals who make the patches? Who checks those patches? You go from bad to worse CM. When it seems that it is impossible to do it worse you go and do it much worse. It is unfortunate how they work. I have already given up hope that they will do something right. Congratulations because worse can not be done

Good question.

@ Jennyannem  We, the consumers cant understand that the F1 Series have so many bugs since F1 15.
Can you explain us why CM have these problems ?
Is it the engine, have the developers a experience deficit  ?
With some more Information, we can have some understanding and feel not angry.

Thx for a answer Jenny.

This patch is the end for F1 2017 for me not going to do those levels again :(

Patches to console are sent off to the relevant first parties for approval, once each patch has been approved it's then set live. We're sorry that Xbox One users are having to wait for 1.6!

The reason why PC get patches first is because there's no approval system that allows updates to just be released and go live instantly. For consoles Sony and Microsoft both review patches before they go live on there respective console. This is out of codies hand. PS4 only got update this morning. Sony usually has a quicker review system than Microsoft hence the reason why PS4 got it this morning. This is out of Codies hands they send the patches together and Sony and Microsoft decide when they go live.
