When does patch 1.8 come out????

Recommended Posts

Hey there, with all those bugs the game is unplayable. It is a month after release now and the game breaking bugs (safety car,multiplayer, career) are not fixed....
What are you doing codemasters??
You are losing customers.....

They will release 1.8 in the next couple of weeks and it will include the livery+aero updates for every car and other "cool stuff".
We just have to be patient as always.

Awesome, Wasn't sure if we would get the updated liveries, Will be nice to see them! I'm just gonna throw it out there in case you see this Codies, Please fix the blocky white patches on the gloves of the classic car drivers on Xbox. Correct me if I am wrong but I have not seen them on the PC or PS4 version and they look horrible when in the cockpit view of those beautiful cars. Other than that the game is near perfect!

Cool stuff like MP and Career being fixed would be acceptable. Long term playability.

Unless 'cool stuff' means the A.I now pit under SC and they've fixed the catching SC bug and other little bugs, i don't want the cool stuff. In fact i really couldn't give a stuff about the liveries (if you are worried about what other cars look like you are not racing hard enough). While these things are nice, id rather all or most of the bugs be fixed before worrying about the aesthetics

Hopefully it's a car performance update too, career's no fun with some teams at the moment until this is sorted. I hope the "cool new stuff" is some changes to career mode so that upgrades affect teams differently and bigger gains for lower teams and such. Also.. pet peeve at the moment.. can we lower the % of update failures? Out of interest I have tested and bought all 5 of the upgrades to lower the chance of failure and have 3 upgrade failures today alone... I wouldn't mind but the AI are able to keep updating every race with no issues at all.

Wow....
I hope this is not correct.
If i cant play online championship mode by saturday im selling on ebay.
I 90% play online championship mode with friends and that mode is 10000% broken.
So i have no need to keep the game if they are going to take months to fix such a key part of the game from my point of view.
@F1Support please can you give me a rough estimate of wen online championshio mode will be fixed please. Ie... within the next 2 weeks?

Why can the red stripe of the Williams car be on the car? I know the martini can’t sue to the age limit of the game but if the centre blue stripe surely could be made red ?

It's because the martini logo looks exactly like this, it's advertising martinis products even without the word 'martini' on it. A child or any other significant other will correlate the pattern on the car with martinis branding when they see it. I'm sure it's a requested thing from PEGI, FOM, Codemasters' publisher, and their directors. 

The livery is correct for the Abu Dhabi grand prix due to the ban on alcohol in the country, so it's a similar thing. The Williams team even have to remove the red stripe from their team wear, pit garage, and other possible martini branded items for this race. :)

This is exactly the type of user which causes these rushed, quick fixes. I'd happily wait a month for a proper patch than 10 rush jobs within the same period.

But no. Kids of today want their shit NOW.

He could just as easily say he wants what he paid for. Game was not as described, blah blah blah refund. Pick it up again Black Friday. Maybe it will be patched up by then.

Or maybe not.

Is it unreasonable to expect that one of the major game modes functions properly? I don't recall it saying on the box that multiplayer modes were subject to patches that may take months.

Conversely, I misread the part where it says it will work 100% out of the box. I'm not defending them, but I don't know why people think the major bugs will take a few days to fix, if they have an inkling of SDLC.

Posting a thread about "Patch today, come on!" every few days is not gonna speed up the process, not in a good way anyway, and will only result in rush jobs, if anything.

And clearly "functioning properly" is very subjective. Yeah, there are plenty of obvious bugs, but none that are game-breaking, in my experience, except in once-off cases.

Ok, it doesn't state that it works 100% out of the box - but the law defines that a product should function as described. So if you advertise a multiplayer function and it doesn't work you can return it.

I don't have a problem with some of the bugs, and I agree that a stable process for fixing is better. But the lack of communication and timelines is what pushes people to make these threads and comments. The error has been around since 1.6, wasn't fixed in 1.7 and we don't know when 1.8 will be...?

Every patch they release ruins the game even more. Instead of fixing, the patches are bringing more issues to the game. And some of the issues are major ones, not minor. The game was playable at launch, now multiplayer is unplayable with the AI difficulty glitch.

We haven't got a firm date for 1.8 just yet, but it is being worked on. Once I have a firm date, I'll let you know.

Cool stuff should include adding in VR support!

It did work out of the box!!!!!!
Thats the problem...codemasters messed up online championship mode themselves.
Is it unreasonable that they release a small patch just to fix the issue they creates themselves?
Why wait 2 months for them the fix 20 problems?
Release 4 or 5 patches during that time.

Online championship worked perfectly ojay for me prior to patch 1.6.
After 1.6 its unplayable.

I think its a justified moan since the only reason i bought the game was for online championship mode!!!! I could/should have waited 3 months post release and id have saved myself £15 or so coz the game will have reduced from its preorder price.

I do not want to be making wish lists, but one thing really really really cool would be a Forzavista-style car viewer or the Ride 2 viewer, so that we can admire the beautiful cars. An editor of helmets where we could download the paintings that the community produces would be welcome too.

if you want can download preload files and put in game path, block update on steam and you give back 1.3 version... i do it and playing 1.3 version and is so better than 1.7 in gameplay and mainly AI
