Bugs and requested improvements

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Let me start by saying I really like this game. That's not the discussion. But since a few years, some bugs are really persistent and I can't image no one has ever noticed them. Also, since the new features, some new ones showed up. So, let's sum the up:
1. Time acceleration bug: When accelerating the time during a practice or qualifying session, the AI seem to find the perfect setup and start to drive a few seconds a lap quicker. I've just had a quali session in Mexico and till 5 minutes before the end of Q1, I was first with a 1:15:4 and Hamilton was second with a 1:16:1. The rest was even further of, so... what could happen. I decided to accelerate the remaining session time. With sweaty palms I watched how the remaining 5 minutes passes in the blink of an eye and I managed to finish the session in place 11... more than 8 tenths of the pace... what the...
Q2 started even more miserable, as a coolant issue occurred and needed to be repaired. Again, the pressed A to skip the repair time and found out I had no change of even getting into Q3, since the quickest time was now 1:13:2. In all practices, I hadn't even been close. 1:16:3 was my fastest time in FP3 so I was already glad to find the extra pace in Q1. So where should I find an extra 2 seconds. I decides to restart the session and sit out the repair time... this time, Bottas was the quickest with a 1:16:3.... come on guys... In Q3, I just drove my lap and waited till the session was over.
This bug has been around since update 1.10 if you ask me. In all previous versions of the F1 game, I noticed this bug every now and then... but now, it's every weekend.

2. Blue flags: It's the same in FP sessions, Q sessions and the race. The AI is really annoying in making room when the get a blue flag. For example: I'm in a race strategy program during one of the free practice sessions on Monza. As I'm roaring over the finish straight, I'm already noticing an AI car is just leaving the pits. Instead of lifting and letting me pass, as he is just start a testing program and in his out lap and I'm roaring full speed in the middle of a quick lap, the AI is giving it his all and is trying to stay ahead of me, as if it's the championship winning race and he has to stay in front of me, no matter wat happens. It even happened that they pushed me of or crashed into me. That's f*cking annoying and a big bug. 
In the race, they try to let me pass, but the way there doing it.... omg... When I'm faster out of a corner and keep to the right to get passed them, they slam to the right, right in front of me, followed by an abrupt drop of pace... come on Codemasters.

3. The interview: Every now and then, the cute girl comes and asks some questions. Nice, okay. Then, all of a sudden, she mentions I scraped a lot of walls today and asks if I was struggling for grip.... uhm... nope! I haven't touch a wall, nor did I even once leave the track, so where did this come from? And the best part is, the only answers you can give, are ones that will ruin your reputation with either your team or on of the departments. 

Let's leave the bugs department for now. There's something I've been wondering since Codemasters introduced research and development by the player. The player is the only one that is developing the car, but your team mate is profiting just as hard. And he's doing nothing but driving slower. As the years pass by, e.g. when driving in a lesser team, my team mate is happily driving in the top of the championship, whilst contributing nothing to the development of the car. In my opinion, this could be better worked out.

Any more idea's that need improvement of other bugs that should be mentioned or fixed. I'm curious!

Pit strategy for ai teams. Mine teammate is always so friendly to let everyone pass him with a pit stop. Most frustrating thing ever

1) The A.I fast sector times seems to be happening every session now and has been mentioned many times on here - plus it has been reported, hopefully this is resolved in next patch.

2) A.I always love parking their car on the Apex - annoying indeed, not sure how Codies can program this to park (slow) car down before corner entry rather than on the corner themselves.

3) Option to not answer Claire - for example on PS4 you press the circle button so as not to answer question. Does not drop your reputation bar - all that happens is she gets a tad annoyed.
