Patch Notes for 1.12 – Discussion Thread

[Flazh92 2]

wait, so this is 1.11 and 1.12 together and there are less fixes then in previous patches?  wow.

[1512marcel 456]

The best way to get an overview of existing bugs/issues is to wait for a new patch to be announced. Saves a lot of reading :*

[Turtlemoose 75]

I'm absolutely gutted............

Almost 2 week wait and the stupid A.I randomly fast sector times in practice and quali have not been fixed.

I ain't even gonna go on about the tyre temps

What an absolute joke 

[DaFonzzz 0]

Please fix the tire temp. problem, with so many complaints about this, it is obvious a big problem for a lot of people

[seVVen 14]

had so much hope, when i read " new pc anti cheat system", but i still get kicked for changing a livery... What a joke. F1 2018 is dead already, because of that.

[BluRacer7 20]

Again why isn't the Tyre Temp Inner Carcass overheating not address, right now makes Monaco and Singapore unplayable no matter how slow you go cause there's no way to cool down the tyres. This should've been fixed patches ago but so far this hasn't been address, could you please look into it.

[Turtlemoose 75]

@Faya  my dear......

Please please please:

1) Fix Tyre Temps 
2) Stupid crazy A.I Quali and practice random fast sectors

They are ruining the game for career mode players

Please! Please! Please!

@Faya  -Broadcast speech will now play correctly after all sessions.


Nope…:(

[Faya 1,190]

Hi @StefanClaassen, Which sessions didn't you get the speeches after please? Can I just check that you're on PC as well? The PS4 and Xbox Ones haven't had their update as of the time of me writing this post.

In regards to some of the other questions and feedback and issues, I'm poking the team for you now. Thanks for all the feedback!

Thanks Faya, make sure it's a proper good poking!

[skylinegtr34 38]

faya the real problem it's IA, before 1.10 the game it's almost perfect, after, it's ulpayable..! it's ridiculous!!! 2 weeks ago the game it's ok, and now i can't play? you went back instead of foward

[Metzgerov 41]

Does Faya work for Codemasters?

If so please inform your bosses we are fed up with the way you treat customers that bought your product.
There are people who cannot play this game anymore after 1.10.
Let me rephrase this- The game worked but then was broken by a patch after which we have heard nothing on these issues. (AI,Parts development not applying, tyre overheating/Gamepad)

I can't play my career which i'm in season 3 (not exaggerating).
Is this what I should be dealing with after buying a game that worked?

I realize they (hopefully) are working on a fix but just tell us that then. These are not minor annoying bugs that we can live through. My career as others, is unplayable.

If you care then let your customers know.
Up to 1.10 the patches were great and frequent. 
Your losing that good momentum quickly.

Please do the right thing....

I've read it wrong, after is not a problem, before each session Anthony Davidson does'nt say anything. 

[CompLex1986 18]

I've stopped playing the game as well. They have ruined it with their duct tape programming. Codemasters really needs to get rid of this "whack-a-mole" game that they are playing with their code base. You can probably guess that I am *not* a happy customer.

• Added some new PC anti cheat

Did they included a new DRM or another one? Or is it an anti-cheat for multiplayer only

[Faya 1,190]

Hi all! I'd updated the main thread, and I'm sorry I'm a little late updating this one, however the patch is now available for both PS4 and XBox One. 

[artworx 2]

-Upgrades not working still happen. And since the AI has been destroyed, the Practice Program´s have also been, and they are pretty much impossible to pass now, unless it´s the first one´s. I used to do them with no sweating (bar the fuel one, which i admittedly suck at) before 1.10 patch.

-The AI has been completely destroyed since the 1.10 patch. They suddenly became OP. I set my difficulty after a lot of testing, trial and error, on the 1.09 version and settle on 86, and now i´m 1.4 seconds off pole in Qualifying in Melbourne on a Mercedes (i did pole by between 0.1 a 0.3 tenths before 1.10 patch with the same car) and come races i can´t make any inroads and after the first pit stop, i get reeled in by pretty much everyone behind me who suddenly also lap quicker than me when before 1.10, i could win the race with a good and fair fight.
Don´t even tell me to drop the difficulty, because it was totally fine before 1.10 patch, this was something the patch made wrong. If you are telling me that, then seeing that a value on the slider means a tenth, i would likely have to been playing in the low 70´s, and sorry, but i´m just not that slow. The lowest i have played with, in F1 games with the slider, is 83 on F1 2017. I can clearly tell when it´s me that does not have the pace, or when something in the game is off.

-Tyre Temps are still too high for pad users at least.

None of this has been fixed with 1.12, so i don´t know why it was even released in the first place. Instead of focusing on eSports, which the casual consumer does not give one bit of a damn, maybe you guys at the offices should focus on fixing the GAME BREAKING BUGS you brought in with the 1.10 patch, because ya know, your game, 95% of the features are for OFFLINE PLAY and they are pretty much destroyed since the 1.10 patch.
And even going to Online, which i never cared about, and should always be secondary when fixing because the base game (offline) should be as perfected as possible before going to fix that, that is also ruined because of an atrocious Net Code as related by countless people in the F1 YouTuber Community. So you aren´t fixing any part of the game, if anything 1.10 made nothing work as it should and 1.12 has not fixed any of it.

I was actually very happy with the game until the 1.10 patch. For a Codies release, it was relatively bug free, with no major stuff to fix from an Offline standpoint but you surely are running out of my, and countless others good will. Get your game fixed and stop going around like there´s no game breaking stuff to fix. Acknowledge that publicly on Twitter, on the Blog, wherever you want, that only makes consumers good will go down quicker. It´s upsetting enough to have a game that pretty much does not work now, having a company with so bad PR is even more upsetting. This is totally what to not do in Business 101.

I think codemasters need to stop coding. Every update breaks the game further. Currently at cota in s2, qualy 1. I'm 3 seconds behind Leclerc. 

[Metzgerov 41]

@Faya does Lee Mather sleep well at night knowing the game doesn't work for many of us since 1.10 in career mode?

Address the issues PedroPM94 has laid out please. Is the team aware of them? Are they working on it? What do they need from us to help fix it?

I can give more detail if needed. I already posted detail in the Technical Support area but only crickets answered me.

Thanks and do the right thing to your paying customers.

In career mode on 2018 it says a different name on my driver details 

[Faya 1,190]

Hi all,

I understand that there are issues that you are experiencing that you want addressed. I am going to ask that you all stay civil though.

There are items that I am in the middle of getting updates on and for the other I will be requesting more information, once I’ve gone through some of the posts here and in some of the other threads that are being brought to my attention. Thanks,

[Jambo98 0]

I mean, you know and acknowledge that there are major issues which have been around since the game launched, yet included in this patch are....

• Broadcast speech will now play correctly after all sessions
• Stopped spectators seeing the garage for a frame followed by the car on track for a frame causing a nasty flicker when spectating OSQ

How is it possible that any developer or QA testing is being dedicated to things like those, when you have huge gaping holes in the core game? At some point, someone has to stand up and prioritise the important things so that oh i dont know, you can get to patch 13 in a game and not still be chasing bugs from 2  years ago.......

[Turtlemoose 75]

@Faya you've been on these forums and seen the same issues constantly being mentioned week after week. Patience turns to frustration and then it sadly turns to anger.

One of several things is happening here:

1) We are being ignored
2) Esports took priority
3) Codemasters have no idea how to solve the issues
4) some or all of above

Communication and information is always key.

Sadly the recent patches have made the game worse.

[Metzgerov 41]

Faya, thanks finally for an update on these.

In general I feel we have been civil. But many of these issues are 2 weeks or older (thanks to 1.10), and the few I am concerned about make the game unplayable for many.

Just remember to try to be in our shoes how you would feel if a game you really have fun with and paid 60$ stopped working. It's not a good way to feel so you can hopefully understand our impatience.

I look forward to your updates and if I can help in any way let me know.
