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,

Requesting more information???? It’s been weeks since this community has been asking for this problem to address and you’re just now requesting more information. You’re reply shows exactly how much Codemasters cares about the community and it’s customers.

Tyre temps
AI sector times
The numerous issues online players have had.

These have been widely commented on these forums for weeks, surely you can't be serious when you are asking people what problems there are?

@faya because after the 1.10 patch the safety car almost never comes out, even on serious accidents ?, just yellow flags, something has been changed? I play on PC and I do not know if this is a problem only on this platform. it happens in all the tracks and with all the difficulties and settings. can someone on ps4 and xbox one confirm that after the patch 1.10 the sc never exits? with patch 1.12 nothing has changed



Can confirm that no sc comes out in career mode at all since that update. Xbox

It took Geoff Crammond's GP the grand total of ZERO patches to generate accurate AI times when accelerated time was used...in 1993. 

[AllenB2609 348]

unbelievable. These issues have been mentioned for weeks now if not months. Codemasters are doing a lousy job right now and they should be held accountable! Yet only empty promises… Like last year when they hinted that we would FINALLY get the official TV graphics and then poop…

@Faya we're not sitting here and writing angry posts just because we love to do so and have nothing better to do but because we all used to love the game while it was working and we're taking promises seriously. We all paid money to play your game and have been anxiously awaiting updates and patches to fix these issues but all they have been causing are even more problems and bugs.

My safety rating for the 2nd time has been deleted ?

[ChironTheseus 48]

I think 1.10 was the work of a disgruntled employee lol! The only issue I had was the AI not getting the same wear affects to their performance ability which affects Monaco most as the AI can push hard all race. Instead they added immortal quali AI lmao! Will check if 1.12 is ready on PS4 but I assume its still being looked into due to not being on the list of fixes.

Hello guys and ladies, have fun. I'm done with f1 2018 for now. Not the updates what we want and mine PS4 pro is broken (Blu-ray reader is dead) so in 3 weeks I hope the game is functioning again.

Have fun all

[FRACTURED 30]

My updates just completed. Fingers crossed.

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.......

@Faya is a community manager, not a programmer. She doesn't acknowledge anything, all she does is pass all these things to the programmers. There's only so much that she can do, if the rest of CM doesn't want to reply or give her any updates, well it's in fact a big kick in the nutsack of Faya too. 

I think that she doesn't like to be the centre of all the negativity only because she's the middle man (or woman) between us and CM.

if anything, if there's 1! Only 1! Person at CM who actually respects Faya and us as a community, he or she would stand up, and come here on the forum and admits: we screwed up. THAT would be more respectful than let Faya hang with no answers and info to the community, because this whole thing shows a huge lack of respect towards Us and Faya as well.

we can start a petition online to send to FOM to take the F1 license away from CM because of the way they handle the community and thus FANS! And if there's 1 thing Ross Brawn and Co. Want is fans who love the sport and everything around it. What do you think if it comes to ears to them that WE as a whole are not amused by the way CM handles the Game, US THE COMMUNITY and thus FANS, and gives the F1 brand a bad name in this way...

maybe that will wake them up in stead of giving the community the finger.

@AlexTT totally agree my friend with everything you stated!

By no means (hopefully) did I want to punish Faya. I know he/she is just the contact point with this forum. Hopefully he/she understands our frustrations are with the management.

I will wait a few weeks at most to see any positive movement on fixing the gamebreakinig stuff. After that I'm all for petitioning and contacting the FOM. Also does the UK have a "Better Business Bureau" (like in the US) where you can lodge complaints against unethical consumer behavior by companies?

Great ideas AlexTT. Lets keep this brewing and see what happens over the coming weeks as far as communication and patches.

[BluntRS 182]

Pre patch at Monaco tyre life for Hyper Soft was 13laps post patch its increased to 27laps, Super Soft have increased from 36laps to 72laps, GP is 78laps pitting makes zero sence,
I didn't see anything about a change in tyre wear is this current ?, or is it just my game corrupt.

[ChironTheseus 48]

Well race day 2017 they did say something about the US being able to do the whole race. And Ric and Lewis 2016 showed they could push hard a lot longer than expected too. Either the drivers are excellent at tyre management even pushing fully (fairly norm for their level of professionalism) or the circuit really doesn't eat tyres at 2018 suggested pre patch. As long as I can push as hard and long as the AI on the same tyre I'm happy lol!

I'm from the Netherlands, but going straight to the FOM is the best way to go IMO, when they see how the F1 name and License is beeing destroyed by CM and their lack of respect to the fans/community, maybe they can force CM to make changes and start listening or else byebye license.

i can just feel a sort of arrogance from CM that they think they can do (or don't do) what they want and the community (fans) can go ...., themselves because hey, we already bought the game and we just have to do with what they give us, and they just can't stand all the flaws and mistakes we find that they couldn't find. In stead of beeing gratefull and respectfull to us, they have Faya as their marionet and who is the sucker who can clean up their mess which is a big no no to Faya because I can see she's doing her best, she's more active than all others before together! But i got the feeling that CM does take Faya as serious as they do with us.

It doesn't mention tyre temps but they've done something as my issues have gone. I only really found Monaco impossible, after that I spent more time and attention in practice with setups and watching how the tyres behaved on each track. The real issues came after I bought the chassis upgrades and then virtually every track required management, I last played Abu Dhabi and spat my dummy out in practice 1 as no matter the setup and style all four tyres were going yellow after 4-5 laps. I saw the latest patch and gave it another go with zero problems from the same setup saved from previously. The only problem i've had with it is that I now have no vibration feedback through the pad.

Codemasters has been laughing at us for years, they always throw an incomplete game and they never fix it because they say they focus on the game next season, it reminds me of Mclaren hahahahaha. Codemasters is not qualified to make F1 games, I would like to know who is testing the games because I'm not sure they know how to do their job. Codemasters do not even know the most basic rules of F1. Shortly I will open a thread with the technical aspects which are invented at will. The credibility of Codemasters is over. I hope that the request to the FOM arrives as soon as possible and I will be there to sign it. To the users ask for patience and that the only way they can listen to us is to join us.

I was actually fairly happy with the released product this year compared to last few years.
A few issues yes but a decent launch product. Somehow 1.12 is worse than 1.03 my game has steadily worsened patch after patch.

Majo issues with AI and the development system. What the hell did hey do!

[Barrikada71 1]

It seems that we are improving, before the patch 1.12 the game sanctioned you to the three warnings for cutting curves, now you can have ten warnings and it does not sanction you. Great work Codemasters.

Steamdb shows a branch "esports_testing.." curious about what it will be.

It's been there for some time now, it's literally just a separate branch for esports only. Nothing to be interested into.

Seriously Codemasters?? Tyre temp still not adressed? Honestly, why make promises (Lee Mather on Twitter) when you can't keep them? To be honest, I'm feeling a little betrayed now. Unbelievable and it makes me angry. That's not how you treat your customers...

I wouldent be surprised if the have already found the issue got a patch ready there to release but not till after esports has finished I believe thats the reason why its taking them so long id put money on it that this issue doesn't get fixed till after that the have till rdr2 2 comes out to fix it for me if not ill be trading this game in for that and just forget about the codies f1 games from now on if that is what the are doing waiting for esports to finish then it would be shocking 

[KiLLu12258 187]

But why they get a seperate branch? What is the difference?

As i saw Lee Mather tweeted about a esports patch a few weeks ago, im curious what it is and if we get it too.

Well over the past few years codies have been selecting 300 people to test the game for bugs which you have to ask what is it codies are giving them to test as cant be the game we play today  I think its proof that codies use them to hype the game up for them and in return tne get an free copie and get to see them selfs in the game for lieing on codies behalf I mean I havent played many games apart from f1 but the ones I have and been on there forums well the are nothing like this I think its coming to the point were enough is enough as if its not bad enough we dont get the game till after the summer break over half a season gone but ittakes them till the season is over for them to iron some of the bugs out I would love to know what liberty would make of the way codies go about there product I think its about time another company come and had a shot at it me self 

[Barrikada71 1]

I would like someone to explain this to me because the same goes for the defenders of Codemasters saying that it is normal that this is the real F1. From yesterday I see that in the halls pilots have hardly sanctions and today I have done a test skipping curves. How can it be that I skip the curves and have 21 warnings and the game does not sanction me? I think that from today the online leagues will have to stop thanks to this huge failure. I pass video with test results and notices that I have. This is not where to take it.
