Some of us has the same problem as you can see in that post.

Furthermore, we only could create and entry a lobby when only the host start the sesion in practice mode, and then, when the host was in the box, all the drivers join to it. 

Please @jennyannem @F1Support confirm that you are aware of that issue and recovery asap as possible.

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

Are you on 1.5 or 1.6

1.6. I started a thread about it, seems quite a few tracks have the same issue.

Is there any other patch work you know? I think there are some other bugs such as SC and multiplayer. Actually CM should also inform about it that what they will fix next.

the last few patched they did. Think they wait untill patch 1.6 is live on all platforms until they reveal notes on 1.7

The patch notes will only contain info on what they think/know they have fixed. It won't be available beforehand and no promises will be made. Otherwise they won't be patch notes.

I do not think they can implement a logic for the Safety Car, it will always be broken. It's basically special AI and the AI is never 100% and never has been.

So we are waiting for microsoft to approve the patch on xbox?

Yeah hope it's soon I'm in my third season in mclaren with a fully power upgraded engine (no fuel efficient upgrades.) The only reason it might be slightly faster is to the drag upgrades I've put on the mclaren. She. This patch comes I won't have to dive bomb at the end of straights. Instead I'll be the car breezing past the mercedes

Great news for when I get home. Come on mclaren Honda. Even though it will be mclaren Renault next year

@Jensonbartley This could be worse I'm stuck in season 1 in barcelona because the game is crashing at the end of the race :p

YAY! Rank 1. Thanks Codemasters, love you!

How is it possible that the X1 patch is 1.26GB while my PS4 said it was around 500MB? That's weird...

Hey, back in the office now. I'll be able to get some firm news for you shortly, though it's looking like it's going to be approximately in and around the next day or so. Once I've got something concrete, I'll let you know.

Ho3n3r said:

Has anyone seen a CM staff member at least acknowledging the AI quali simulation bug? Perhaps I've missed it, but I've not seen it yet, and that is what they do every year with issues they don't intend to correct - ignore it until people get tired of bringing it up.

You might want to check the latest patch notes, you can find them here: http://forums.codemasters.com/discussion/57344/patch-1-6-notes-updated-08-09

Thanks, I see it's still simulated but seems a lot more reasonable now. Appreciate it - at least I can now beat my teammate on equal terms. :)

Also, since this patch, my half second stutters and microstutters seem to be mostly gone.

There is still the problem when you look back and see the driver behind you has no head...

This is something we're aware of and are investigating.

@jennyannem

Please look into the AI in regards to terrible strategy calls when the safety car comes out. They never pit under the safety car.

Like i said in another tread, cant it be randomized, when a safety car is called cant there be a 50% randomizer whether the ai will pit or not? Or something to that effect, and then stick to that strategy instead of additionally making 87 more pit stops even though they just pitted out of their scheduled cycle.

Had an issue after the 1.6 patch online where the difficulty slider would stay at level 0 on friends screen even though I was in control and setting it to 60, in the race itself the computer controlled cars were really slow in the race so it would seem they were racing at level 0 when they shouldn't have been. It was on single online race mode at Canada on ps4 if that helps with anything

Since doing the 1.6 update I've had 2 career races, Brazil and Abu Dhabi, both times the whole field, bar 2 or 3, have taken grid penalties. I know its the end of the season but that is rather extreme!

We're looking to get a fix out - thank you, as I said in the other thread, your videos really helped us!

Thanks for letting us know - is this at 25% and the same season you were playing pre patch 1.5?

Had an absurd drive through penalty pitting in the rain under SC (top speed)

@jennyannem
Hi! Thank you for a great game but I have found a bug. Rules and flags seems to disappear when I load a mid-session save in the career mode. Before the save the rules and flags worked just fine.
Race length: 100%
Difficulty: Legend (95)
Console: PS4

@jennyannem no answer about game optimisation and global performance... frames drops and screen tearinf are major issues since F1 2015 but are getting worse years after years on PS4 and Xbox One.
