MULTIPLAYER BROKEN AND WASTING PEOPLE'S TIME LIKE NEVER BEFORE

Recommended Posts

Did anyone from Codemasters playtest this game?

5 LAP ranked not working, 25% throws me into the same lobby over and over. Is there 1 ranked lobby for the whole of Europe or did you just forget to actually play your own game? What are all the loading screens for? No one cares about the map "intro", why do we need a loading screen for that and right after another loading screen? I just want to get into a ranked game guys stop with the loading screens and the lobbies that are mid-game.
We got shallow features for the career mode that everyone gets bored of after a month and the little improvement we got over the shitty peer to peer multiplayer is demolished by the lag and the loading screens. The game already crashed 3 times on me in the menu for nothing. You fucked up, the game won't get popular, certainly won't be an esport, in a week half of the player base will be gone.

Admittedly it was only one race but I got into a 5 lap race, ranked, with no issues this morning. Not sure what caused your issues then

You can get into 5 lap races if in a 25% lobby they vote for a short race, otherwise it's always an error, you can never directly join.

I'm sure I did. The session I was joined was mid way through qualifying and then I was able to join for the race start.

Well it's impossible for me and a bunch of other players, idk how it worked for you. By the way the game just threw me into a lobby where the race was at 1/18....

Am I wrong to think that the lobby system should be thrown out the window when it comes to ranked? What are we wasting our time for... just let me click ranked and throw me into qualifying. Then you could actually leave me 3 minutes to setup my car....

There are so many, so many games that they could have copied when it comes to competitive, ranked play. But no dude, we needed meaningless interviews in career mode lmao.

I feel the pain with you Bustah. Multiplayer needs to be fixed asap, before anything else is done on this game. Developers should keep us ATLEAST informed on their Twitter Account, or wherever, about the status of all the multiplayer issues! https://twitter.com/formula1game

But it seems they have more "important" problems like working on the DLC issue they have at the moment, that some people can't redeem their DLC or whatever. Just gift them the DLC when the headline edition is cheaper on gamekey sites as the standard edition anyway -> Problem solved.

And now you can work on more important problems :)

It must be obnoxious to be a community manager and to try to represent a team well when they mess up constantly so badly and seemingly have little intention to make a good game that can be successful long after release.

Update: I could finally join a 5 lap ranked for the first time after 7 hours... hue
Edit: back to not working again.
