Hi @BiggyT, can you let me know what level you have Traction Control set to please?  

It was on medium, how it is in this new patch might be manageable with pedals but on an Xbox One controller it's the same as running no TC.

This is a "fix" that was not needed, just because some online only players moaned about it - they can just set the lobby to no assists! All this change to medium TC does is spoil the game for the likely majority who just play career mode with assists on.

Hi @Faya, when are you planning to update the car decorations, halo ... and add the new McLaren nose and Force India steering wheel? In theory it was the first day of the game ...

To the people saying the new medium traction control is unplayable, why don't you just use the full TC setting?

What a close-minded question, but I'm gonna answer it anyway:
Because it slows you, a lot.

Again, I fully agree.

@Faya any chance AI difficulty for Monaco can be brought in line with other circuits? 

[NellyFurtado 20]

This is ridiculous. I cannot drive on the medium traction control setting, it's even more worse than off traction control. The car is spinning out every corner. I might need to 'Turn off the Light'

Hi all,

On the changing difficulty between sessions: the team are still looking at this and I believe a fix is going into test soon. 

Appreciate the answer.

What I do not get is why it was removed in the first place as the ability to change was in every previous game. Surely the code should be easy enough since it was in last years

Still no news about the cars stuttering issue during replay ? :/

That'd be good too, Vandoorne just did a 0:55.010 and Magnussen a 1:01.743 in FP1 in my save!

What a stupid idea to change medium TC... You did it because a few people complained about it being too fast. Now you're gonna have a lot of us complain because you changed it after everybody got used to it.

It was too fast... it was faster than not TC... it should be just a little bit behind no TC imo.

Then maybe you should be more open-minded about learning to use fewer assists if you want to be faster.

Spot on!

Ferrari still not looks like the real F1 car. The mirrors need to fit on the Halo!

• Re-balanced Medium Traction Control Settings

Well then, just refunded the game. Won't be fooled by you ever again ?

Here are some online bugs, which need to be fixed (as you can see in the video):

- some players are in each other at the start procedure

- FPS drops, when a player joins / leaves the session

It happen to me too. But with 1.04 version... It isn't fixed in 1.05....

Agreed, no TC should definitely be faster than driving with (medium) TC on, but the new setting is just too extreme. It makes the 'medium' im 'medium TC' obsolete because the difference between medium and off is very small now imo.

acutally thats quite refreshing to hear that TC got re-balanced. especially for online lobbies. online rambos thinking can compete to no assist drivers is horrible. they even knock you off the road if you are faster. keep up the work no assists should be the style to play this game, no matter if the majority is playing on the pad or not. you can also get good on the pad. if you dont have the time to learn this style to play without any assists then take the time to learn it for once and for all, this should not be that difficult to use the experience for upcoming or different games.

[Senna1990 0]

The game is unplayable no matter what you do to set ups turn assists on or off we still have the tyre heat issue for pretty much all pad users nothing works, you've prioritised stupid e sports and mugged the rest of us off with  the tyre issues

[Ryne 25]

I also disapprove the changing of medium TC. The difference of it being on and off is almost non-existent since I do drive no TC most of the time when I play online, but when I play offline I drive with medium TC.

I agree that no assists should be faster, but what CM does every year with TC is not right.

The tire temp issue with pad users isn't fixed as well.

Or you could stop being an elitist and let us play our career modes the way we want? If you don't want assist users in your online lobby just turn assists off in the lobby settings.

Simple.

How I wish they did not adjust the TC settings. Having nightmare adjusting to the recent change in my career mode and it made my canada literally unplayable. And before I get shot down by people, I was really enjoying the game thus far with my controller, and have yet to master TC yet but with this new update it really kills all "resemblance" I get to how actual racing could be like at it's potential with my skill. 

[NellyFurtado 20]

If they could offer us a slider on the traction control so that we can balance it ourselves to our liking, it would be far more convenient rather than the constant chopping and changing for no reason.

I agree. It's so non-existent I cant even keep the car on track.... Now I need to adjust my difficulty to offset this mess

[MatrimC 1]

Is it just me or is anyone else not surprised that they managed to break more things than fix?

I didn't even expect them to make any changes to the game.. It's such a shame the game was ruined just 1.5 weeks after it was released. Yes the additional time for interviews are a plus (though I really wonder who actually requires more time to answer) but the adjustment of the TC is just a joke. 

If people wanted a diff TC setting for online they should have created something new instead of wrecking an alright system they had in place.
