Ridiculous.

Recommended Posts

Genuinely shocks me how this game made it to full release. What was the point in any of the beta testers? Or the beta itself?

I want to highlight a few issues and I won't be able to put into words how frustrating they are:
  • Starting a session/Finishing a session(Specficially sprints - Oh. My. God. How long does it take. Whether its waiting for all the players to ready up to start, on the black screen with all the ticks. And there is ONE person who hasn't pressed A yet. And the WHOLE lobby has to just sit and wait. Okay, so they've disconnected. WHY CANT THE GAME F*****G PICK THAT UP!?!!?! I was in a lobby yesterday with 19 people, great race. We're then waiting for all the players to click A and load back to the lobby to voote the next track. One guy didn't have the tick. I sat there for 7 full actual real life minutes until it said "XXXXX has disconnected". One bloody quick 5 lap sprint race is taking around 20 minutes to finish and start the next. That defeats the WHOLE point in sprint races. I can almost accept a championship race or a 50% custom race to take longer. But sprint races are supposed to be quick, its in the bloody name. PLEASE Codemasters, shorten the length of time people have to Press A and make it absoultely mandatory if a response isn't recieved after 45 seconds we move on. 
  • Second issue, pretty similar to the first and again its about sheer waste of time. So I finish pole and I start to watch the other drivers finish as well. One by one, they eventually all go over the line.............. nothing happens. I start watching cars with no fuel drive round and round. Eventually the race timer ends, you'd think thats it? No. We're still watching cars go round and round with no fuel. It usually ends with one person leaving or disconnecting and then all of a sudden it start progressing the way it should. Were they the issue? If so, recognise this, kick them and let us play. 
  • Voting - Numerous times now i've joined a lobby thats finishing, 1 lap to go maybe or in race results. Eventually everybody loads into the lobby with me. We get the vote. I click my option. 0 votes, it doesn't register. I ask my friend who was already in session, can he vote? No. The whole lobby can't do anything. I get mad after about 3 minutes, back out and all of a sudden my friend says its working now. So I was the issue? Can't the game handle someone joining mid session?(i've also had this the other way around, someone else leaving and then it starts to work).
  • Players leaving - So turn 3, Monza on Lap 1. Guy gets swiped off track. Tell me why lap 5/5 he's still sitting in the middle of track ghosted with Yellow Flags waved?
This game is just so ridiculously buggy I'm amazed how it got released like that. Genuinely amazed. The worst thing is you can tell the actual mechanics of the game, the actual gameplay is SOOO good, the game is going to be one of the best of its kind but this experience is totally ruining that. I've spent £100 on this game, Xbox version and PC on release date. I wish I never bothered.

Instead of raging you could just make a simple Buglist that occurred while you where playing and give this Information to CM. 
If you want the game to improve and fix this bugs don't right unnecessary opinions into it. This forum here is for Technical assistance. Not for Review of how your experience with the game is. There are other places for that.

As someone who was a beta tester (fairly sure I'm allowed to talk about it now) we didn't really get much to test, we had around a month of TT, 2 months of 5 lap races but no one was online and you couldn't race then AI, then 10 days quick race, it pains me to say (even though it's now fixed) the DSQ bug was pointed out in the beta, and nothing was done to prevent it apparently, it's good to see them begin to fix bugs but it is painful to see comments made by the testers had little to no effect on the final product.

With 50% rage. Whats so hard about giving simple bug reports to Codies instead of long half with rage filled feedback?

Perhaps because they knowingly released a severely bugged product? This is unacceptable and they deserve to receive a good deal of ranting and raging.
Reading what the beta tester posted earlier, the beta testing was pretty limited and CM ignored the DQ bug which was mentioned by the testers.
There should be some mechanism to receive refunds (I think Steam does, so that's pretty good) for a hugely bugged product like this.

It's a rant, not a bug list. Report the problems, give your opinion (be prepared to change it or have it ignored), state facts.

It mentions the problems but it's wrapped up in rage. How is anyone in a position to help you going to be inclined?

Utter nonsense! How are they going to be inclined!!! How about a bit of pride in their work surely someone in this company must hang their head when they see the sheer volume of bugs reported their must be atleast some among them that actually would like the game to be in a working state,so it shouldnt matter how the bugs are reported just as long as they are reported.The OP has every right to be angry and frustrated because the game is a complete shambles.At the end of the day we all want the game to be the best it can be it's just some people are more passionate then others.

Utter nonsense! How are they going to be inclined!!! How about a bit of pride in their work surely someone in this company must hang their head when they see the sheer volume of bugs reported their must be atleast some among them that actually would like the game to be in a working state,so it shouldnt matter how the bugs are reported just as long as they are reported.The OP has every right to be angry and frustrated because the game is a complete shambles.At the end of the day we all want the game to be the best it can be it's just some people are more passionate then others.
The people facing you are not the ones sorting the mess. They need definitive problems that are replicable so they can be documented and passed back to the programmers they outsourced the work to.

Well I can read the OP just fine and can clearly discern from that what is a bug report and what is personal opinion so if codemasters cannot then they are completely incompetent.

I think if you give the post from op to the programmers they perfectly understand what the problem is. Some of these problems have been mentioned in 2016 game.


@jennyannem Response would be nice.

You're gonna get a lot of rage when you release a game that is sheer garbage. Such a shame as the potential is there for it to be a seriously incredible game but there are COUNTLESS flaws that make it a stinking awful game and an all round horrendously frustrating experience. I don't understand how people are satisfied with the state of the game. Utterly beyond me.
