Hello @Faya

I just don´t get it?!
Why you guys make it so complicated at codemasters. Leave the assists as they are, BUT just put some weight on the car for each assist the driver uses. This will balance the problem much simpler. Nothing changes with the traction but every activated assist makes you a bit slower because you are just heavier. Basically like performance-weight in real motorsport. 

This should be good for all users, because you get rewarded with a lighter/faster car if you able to drive without some or any assists and if you are not able to drive without them, you still got a very stable car but you are just not that fast. Everybody can choose. 
This option should also make it easier for you to make "performance-balancing" in the future.

Kind regards Alex

Pre-patch my game ran fine but since patch 1.05 landed I am now experiencing audio and FPS stutters. I'm currently watching Tiametmarduk in his career video and he's experiencing the same. Wasn't this patch supposed to be making the optimization better?

Thank you very much! On behalve of all the pad players out here, we truly appriciate this.

I’m a pad player and I’m not appreciating you throwing “all the pad players out there” I’m not using TC.

I find it odd that online ranked mode allows for assists anyway?

Hi all,

I've updated the Patch Notes thread in regards to the updated Medium Traction Control.  For ease of use I'll copy it here as well;

Hi all,

We’ve listened to your feedback on the Medium Traction Control update and we can see that the majority of you are not happy with the current update.

For the moment, we are going to roll the changes back while we investigate other possible avenues. For PC users, a hotfix should be going up shortly. For PS4 and Xbox One users, this should not affect you as we will remove the changes from the patches due to go live this week for you.

Thank you all again for your feedback and your patience while we take a further look at the Medium Traction Control settings.

@Faya

Im assuming this means the 1.05 patch for PS4 that was I believe planned to be released today has been postponed until a later date whilst the traction control changes are made?

Many thanks

Can you please switch TC off in MP ranked lobbys then?

They won’t because that caters for about 5% of the community

You mean the 5% that play the game until the new game is released next year. While the casual players, who constantly cry about the assists switch to FIFA or Battlefield next month...

The patch is barely landed and people are complaining.  Why can't you give it a week, do some practice with the new medium traction control and then give some thoughts on it.

I'm surprised how many people just expect to pick up this game and be at the top of their game, have some patience, practice for more than a few hours, then comment... 

Many have to go to work or have a family to care about. They haven't the possibility to play hours and hours without break, to get used to a new TC (in mid season)

I didn't say hours without a break, where did that come from?!  I was saying give it some time and then view your thoughts... 

It does not matter now as Codemasters have listened to 'reactive' comments and rolled back the tc changes already...  Shame...

They bring the same amount of money to Codemasters as you do

Can we just revert to 1.04 the game isnt very nice to play since 1.05 the patch simply is bad allround!

[OneSeventyOut 3]

I'd quite like to keep my assists, even in Ranked please? Thank you :smile:

[woodyinho44 13]

So patch on ps4 this week or today?
yesterday they said tomorrow on twitter

[Faya 1,190]

Hi all,

I've just updated the Patch notes thread, but I'll post it here again for good measure. The 1.05 PS4 patch is going live today. The Xbox One patch will be going up at a later date, which I will confirm closer to the time. Thanks everyone! 

[woodyinho44 13]

Thanks appreciate it.
hope the stats gonna work .pray for it

[AdamFreeman 224]

@faya any news on my why the new patch has introduced performance and audio bugs/issues? And why an earth the AI has reverted back to 2017 AI (basically let you pass them)

Hi @MaYGoD666, Could you start a thread about your crash in the Technical Assistance forum please? We have a bug report form in this thread here that you can use as a template to give us a better idea of what you're seeing. Thanks, 

I have send mail at this moment

I'd rather you didn't lump EVERY pad player together.

I'm a pad driver... I use no assists and have ZERO issues with it. 
Implying all pad drivers can't drive WITHOUT assists is frankly quite insulting.

[fifi25 0]

@Faya Please just one answer... Will replays stuttering be fixed ?

[CmdrCody 0]

Codemasters should've had the balls to keep the TCS changes in place.  Now, driving without assists will never be rewarded and this game won't be e-sports-worthy.

The people who whined about having a hard time with the new medium TCS should've just switched to full TCS. And if that slowed them down too much, then they should've simply turned down the AI difficulty. TCS is a crutch and one should not get rewarded for using it.

You guys really need to traction control ? How come ?

Awesome! I've had a very rough day today but hearing this has cheered me up some. Many thanks. <3

I appreciate this is something the team needs to look at for online/competitive play; I just hope that any future solution will allow TC Medium to be kept as it is for offline play (even if that meant restricting Medium to offline only, as some have suggested). The balance the option achieves betwen making the car feel 'alive' but comfortable is just fabulous, and for me the game is that much more enjoyable because of it. :)
