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

They probably send the patches to Microsoft and Sony at the same time. I think Microsoft is just a bit slower to process updates.

Message to CM, thank you for the work on the 1.6 update. Only had chance to try it for around 20 mins so far but already can see the difference on the ps4. Maybe it's just me but things look a lot better, swear the detail and textures look much sharper, even from the pits I could have sworn things like the car and tyres look more detailed and less blurred out now. 
I know we had to wait a little longer than planned but the progress looks very promising. Don't mean to rub it in for any Xbox players but I'm sure you'll be enjoying the game once the update makes its way onto the console. I know there's still plenty of issues left to fix and address to satisfy everyone but very pleased with what the update does in the way of fixes.

In online cars that leave race by accident stay in the middle of the track causing yellow flag during the whole race. Congratulations on not correcting that big mistake.

Had a mid season save at Austria,  i was on fresh ss updated the game restarted mid season save I'm now on 65% ultra softs and now my race strategy is completely out the window, as i only have scrubbed tyres left when before the update i had 2 sets of ss and us on mid season save for rest of race.

Good patch but what we REALLY need is a fix for the ridiculously fast qualifying times of the AI. I qualify 20th and struggle vs low tier teams with a Red Bull, while I breeze past them and finish on the podium during the race (within 5 laps).

This so true, but here is a potential fix: set a lower AI difficulty before qualification. Then bump up the difficulty before the race. I doubt this issue will be fixed soon because it has never been fixed in F1 2016...

Ok, on thing I am noting is the sky is stuttering when moving, this is happening on clouded conditions, i dont think this is related to 1.6, however i do now note this more than before, anybody else noted this?

[akinozdemir 1]

I checked and played the game with 1.6 patch on normal PS4:

- Texture issue seems fully fixed
- Before race, driver numbers with grid girls seem properly
- Scripted AI seems fixed

No change to check other fixes on patch notes.

What has happened to Silverstone? It's literally pitch black in the rain at certain corners. Even in dry it's all wrong.

Qualify is ok right now, perfectly in line with race pace. Practice, intermediate and full wet conditions have been balanced too.

I don't know if xbox users are complaining without having the patch (maybe they are skeptical) or we are playing different games...

WHY HAVE YOU RESET OUR ONLINE RANK!!!!! I was level 40 and had put hours in to get there trying to get the champion star trophy. 
Surely you could have just reset our stats, but left our rank as is. 
Every patch you release, you mess something else important up!!

pathetic, Codemasters... seriously pathetic

On 1.5 still but the clouds keep jumping well more like clutching but they just glitch more forward when they were before

Good evening @F1Support @jennyannem ,

Any news about screen tearing issue on PS4 / PS4 Pro / Xbox One ?

More than screen tearing issues there are massive frames drops on both PS4 / PS4 Pro / Xbox One that makes the game really unplayable sometimes.

There are still pixelated textures during replays and cutscenes  on both PS4 / PS4 Pro / Xbox One.

Honestly, issues and global game performance are getting worse since F1 2015. I don't know if your engine has a problem but what a pity for players... I really wish improvements, and global game performance optimisation...


Best regards.

[AdamFreeman 224]

Screen tearing won't be fixed, maybe slightly optimised better but they cannot get a solid 60fps so Vsync does not enable hence tearing.
Only way you will not get it is on PC where you can set it to 30 lock or 60 lock if you have vsync on and the hardware.

Just tried this and its fine on my tv.
Though I'm playing on a Ps4 Pro @ 4K with HDR,

This issue may only be noticable @ 1080p without HDR?

Hi first time on.I have all f1 games since 2009.Yes I've noticed flickering in clouds on PS4 even after 1.6 update. Also replays you get like white flashing on cars. It would be great to have spent time on perfecting game/graphics/play rather than Classic cars and Career modes. I don't play online or multiplay, never have never will. So I'm pretty happy with game so far. Keep up the good work. Glad for Updates.

I have a question

Only here that always rains in the qualy and race?

100% this.

Take notice Codemasters, the core of your fan base are F1 purists.

Please leave the gimmicks to the likes of Forza etc.

If you're going to reskin the same title year after year then please spend the time perfecting it and adding core features that add to the core of the game which is the simulated racing and immersion.

Your awake fans within this forum can see beyond the smoke and mirrors of your new "classic content"

Wake up people, you've been sold on the illusion of more whilst we've actually just been re-delivered a reskined F1 2016 along with all of its problems and short comings, a few physics changes have been made along with a bit of polish to the career mode.

Whoopdy doooo.......

I am an online championship administrator. I can not create multiplayer rooms. After choosing the tires, the screen remains loaded and does not advance. Any solution?
