Please fix commentary

Recommended Posts

F1 2018 commentary (on PC at least) is appalling this year. Last year's game was bad enough with Davidson's commentary occasionally not playing, but this year's game is ten times worse. I'm nearing the end of my first season in career mode and the commentary has been cut short in every race and qualy. I realise this isn't a game-breaking bug but it really does take away from that "race day" feel.
You guys never bothered to fix it last year, please make the effort to do so this year.

Given that this issue has been around since at LEAST the 2016 game, I'm not optimistic that they'll listen this time around and actually fix it.

I got this exact same problem as well. Also on PC and it was like this since the very beginning. 
AD says 50/50 something, but the other half he doesn't talk and it makes for this annoying and embarrassing silence.
There's really not much we can add, because it's a hard baked bug in the game.

Hi all, 

Thanks for posting, I've forwarded this to the team for further investigation. Would you mind sending me your DXDiags and Hardware settings as you all appear to be on PC?

How to save a DXDiag

In Windows 7:

  1. Click on the "Start" Button.
  2. In the Search Box type dxdiag and press <Enter>. The DirectX Diagnostic Tool pop-up window should appear.
  3. Click on “Save all Information.”
  4. Save the information to your Desktop, keep the file name as is.
  5. Send the file to us at community(AT)codemasters.com (replacing the (AT) with an @ )

In Windows 8, Windows 10:

  1. Press the [Windows]+[R] keys on your keyboard to bring up the Run command.
  2. In the "Run" command box, type in dxdiag and press <Enter>. The DirectX Diagnostic Tool pop-up window should appear.
  3. Click on "Save all Information."
  4. Save the information to your Desktop, keep the file name as is.
  5. Send that file to us at community(AT)codemasters.com (replacing the (AT) with an @ )

How to send us your in-game hardware settings file

  • Browse to your hard drive where windows in installed
  • Browse to "...\Documents\My Games\<game_folder>\hardwaresettings\"
  • Locate the file "hardware_settings_config.xml" and send this to us at community(AT)codemasters.com (replacing the (AT) with an @)

Hi,
same problem in Xbox One.
All it’s started  after the 1.7....
I don’t know if it’s coincidental or what, but even the interviews appears less...

This has also happened on PS4 since the 1.07 patch.  Anthony Davidson has disappeared from the race build up commentary completely. There is no talk about the race. Crofty does his bit, then there's nothing but the cutscenes & then straight to the grid
