Hello racers!
Just wanted to give a ‘'state of the union' address on F1 2020, its launch and our focuses moving forward with the development cycle of the game.
We'd firstly like to thank everyone for the positive feedback with our new Myteam game-mode, which has been a huge success and a valuable addition to the game. We’re also delighted to see that the updates and changes to our handling model have been so positively received.
We are still working towards continuing to improve our game to be the best experience it can be. We have added a little insight into our plans moving forward for the development of F1 2020 below:
Firstly, we have a title update coming very soon where we have addressed the following major issues:
A much-requested performance patch, bringing the game closer to the always-changing pecking order of the sport.
An exploit in Time Trial and events caused by entering and fast-forwarding an instant replay has now been resolved
A Multiplayer issue that allowed a player to start a flying lap in qualifying where there is not enough time left in the session.
A Multiplayer issue that stopped corner cutting penalties being applied when quitting and re-joining a race after a formation lap.
Colour issues on sponsors suits, helmets and car liveries in MyTeam on the PS4 Pro
A Multiplayer issue where framerates will drop and lock to 30FPS when re-joining an active race session that this player was previously a part of
As well as this, we have fixes currently in the testing phase for the highly-discussed issues below:
A 'Leagues' game-mode issue where results do not submit after completing races
A multiplayer issue where quitting and re-joining a race with a formation lap can impact race results
Race Director at the end of Practice Sessions doesn't show tyre used to set time.
Xbox players being kicked from lobbies with the error code H078.6443.
A MyTeam issue where facilities were resetting to zero and upgrades are stuck in progress
A Multiplayer issue where a host will start the race before the rest of players if Formation Lap is On - This is something still in test, as our original fix scheduled fo r the upcoming patch did not pass the testing phase.
We're also aware of the following key issues and are currently under investigation as a priority with the development team:
Players reporting corrupt Save games. This seemed to happen after our 1.08 update – This one is of critical importance to us at the moment, and any PS4 and PC saves people can provide to us here would be really appreciated.
A Multiplayer issue where users leaving and re-joining sessions can cause game performance issues for players racing in that session.
A Multiplayer issue where the Player does not see the Race Start lights display.
A MyTeam issue where some players have their Facilities development reset to 0 and upgrades to these are stuck ‘in progress’
Furthermore, the issues in the second and third sections are the key issues we are currently focusing on, but have not yet found a solution for. At the moment, we are still attempting to recreate these issues in the third section, so adding your information will be really helpful. Please note that as with all issues under investigation, we cannot promise a fix for these issues. If you experience these, please send us videos, full bug reports and report codes added onto the original threads so we can continue to diagnose and aim to resolve.
Wishing you all well and good fortune on your heroics into saint devote.
Barry
EDIT: Just to update here for others reference, F2 2020 will be coming, and is currently a 'work in progress'. At the moment, I have no specifics regarding dates, but this is something we are working towards and are committed to completing.
