I don't see how you could have patches for so many issues ready so soon after launch unless you already knew all about those issues well before launch - which would indicate a conscious decision to knowingly sell a majorly defective game.

this is not a different track record, we have seen this since 2010

Hi, im playing on pc and have had a few issues. The first is that i cant finish a race without being taken out by an AI car, no matter what i do, and another is, when i go on multiplayer my car continually flashes as if becoming a ghost car then going normal, but flickering really fast the entire time im on track, which is very offputting and annoying. Its a shame because the cars are fun to drive and its almost great. Oh and i also dont think the graphics are a major step up from the last game, lots of jagged edges even when turned up to ulyra in the settings.

What is taking so long to push out a proper Patch for PC version of this game?....

What I mean by "proper" is actually fixing some problems we the community have been reporting here on this forums... the 2 latest patches have been a joke.

The latest 2 patches are progress. Being a programmer, I know that it's not as simple as clicking your fingers for something to get fixed. 

I'm not expecting the first significant patch for another few weeks, at least.

my gut feeling is that the 2 patches so far are merely to address glitches discovered  by CM prior to launch

Hi guys

I have a problem here, the game crashes when i try to load my season if i try more than once it goes fine, but always when a session ends or i wanna skip some practice session the game crashes again, it was not happening before the patch

Anyone else with this issue?

Thanks

I don't know if it's been mentioned but it looks like they fixed the water drop issue where the drops were in focus and obscured the view. Now they are way out of focus and barely noticeable while racing. :)

Hopefully they'll manage to push another one out before the US/Brazil launches next week. But yeah, so far they've really only fixed some PC-specific bugs... my guess is the issues that are common to all three platforms are more fundamental and will take a bit longer to fix, and certainly to test.

Since this patch have been getting a black screen on game exit which I have to use the task manager to get rid of, this is actually the first crash I've experienced with the game since installing it last week. Win 8, GTX 980, 2 monitors at 1440p (only one used for the game) all latest drivers.
Generally very happy with the game - don't get crashes, don't see the blurriness and 'chromatic aberrations' and despite the odd bug (wheels disappearing) am having a lot of fun with it. The feel of the (Xbox 360) controller could be a little better but it's not awful. Don't see what the bother is with it.

When you patch the ps4 version, fix the artificial intelligence! There is no intellingenfe in this game it's bare bones BS right now. 
1: strategy. Do you guys watch the sport? Where the engine allocation?
why can't we tell the weather forecast? 
Whats the deal with the amount of tires available for the weekend? 
Why is there freedom of tire choice for those qualifying in the top ten? 
Why do ALL the cars do 6-8 flying laPs (in a row) in qualifying? 
Why don't the cars look for a gap in qualifying? It's been the same in every single f1 game from you lazy #%€$$ - they all leave one by one and basically have a race in qualifying. Why did you make the ride onboard feature? 

Fix the penalties,..... Lapped cars are all over the incident boards especially manor. And they only have warnings for taking out leaders? 

not sure you can call these glitches or just lack of attention to detail or just lack of care. when paul jeal resigned, he put on social media that his reason for doing so was because he couldn't provide us with the game that we wanted. How right he was...... He must have been sick and tired of the codies bs of just ignoring everything else except the racing. 

Glitches or not, they are valid issues that need sorting out before you call this an f1 game. This is a shadow of f1 in real life be you know it. It's nothing like it.

Take me as long as you need with a patch. Just don't ignore these issues. You made us wait 2 years for this Anall it has done has made me pray you lose the licence. You don't deserve it anymore. Someone like EA would produce ten times a better game only using half the money you guys do. 

Because they get it. Or atleast attempt to. Codemasters are a pathetic excuse. Disgusted with the ignorance they have showed towards strategy and appalled at qualifying. Sooner they lose the licence the better because I guarantee they don't fix these issues and we will be lucky to see them sorted for f1 2016 - come on ea sports this is the worlds most watched sport! You'd love this!

They would? How? (And I guess you haven't played the new EA Rory McIlroy Golf game... it's in just as bad a state as F1 2015 compared to the old ones.)

Yeah having problems with this as well. My suggestion to work around this is turn off the parc ferme rules and save a few wet weather setups and apply them if needed. Right now it's the only workaround I can see until they fix it.

Help, i convinced a few friends to buy f1 2015 but I'm finding that when we are in multiplayer the race will start but then either end after 1 lap or the lag will put you and other racers(human)  in a false position, please fix as online racing is impossible, 

[moogleslam 47]

Should we expect another patch this week?

yes, they did.
it was called F1 2001 & F1 2002

[scottceltic 0]

Every single EA title that I have played over the last few years has atleast tried their damned hardest to recreate what happens in real life with the a.i. 
some more successful than others obviously, but qualifying and even practice in f1 should be at the lowest end of the difficulty scale when it comes
to game development.....not to mention a weather forecasting system and making parc ferme rules actually mean parc ferme.... They actually included a little loading screen information poppet showing the translation of parc ferme!

Fix online issues please, this is why I bought the game to actually play online with my friends.

1. Add custom Lobby with random people being able to join, not invite only option. This way we could get full lobbies at least.
2. Add Server list, it's much better than hopper system.
3. Fix connections to the online sessions,make connection faster and so it doesn't disconnect after 5 minutes of waiting to join it.
4. Fix Positions, I see myself in 1st position etc but at the end of the race I see I have finished 3rd.
5. Random session disconnect/time out/dysinc, you see everyone leaving the session 
6. Add Safety car in online modes at least, this is definitely needed to stop the race after the crash/ incident.
7. Add Full damage in online modes. In beginner modes too so people can choose it if they wanted.
8. Add animation before the race such as preparation, would be realistic.
9. Add parade lap, cmon codies, shouldn't be hard.
10. Add a warm up lap before the race.
11. Add mechanical damage, such as engine damage, break damage etc
12. Make louder crowds if possible a little.

That's it for now, please since you guys taken career mode, focus now on multiplayer. This is what everyone want's. Quick and easy connections to sessions without problems.

Hello everyone. 

Since the launch of F1 2015, we have become aware that some people are currently experiencing issues while playing the game. Please be assured that we are treating these issues very seriously and are constantly monitoring the forums and our social media pages for your feedback, please keep that information coming. 

To help support us with this effort we request you provide clear and detailed descriptions of the issues you are seeing, along with hardware details (for PC users), to aid us in replicating and fixing the issues as quickly as possible. 

Alongside this, we have just pushed a new patch to the PC version of the game which contains a number of fixes. We’re aware that this will not fix everyone’s problems and we are continually working to resolves these issues as fast as we can. 
Notes for the PC patch are as follows;

• Fixed crash caused when switching between game running in a window to running in full screen 
  
• Fixed crash going to track, or when driving on track when in 800x600 resolution with Ultra high detail preset
  
• Fixed crash when reducing the resolution of the game
  
• Fix for game timer running too fast during frame spikes
  
• Fix for camera speeding up at start of broadcast sequences
  
• Fix for tyre regulations not correctly working in short Championship weekends

For players on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, we know that many of you are also experiencing issues when playing the game and are working on patches for both consoles to go out as soon as we can. 

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their patience and support. We will continue to work through the issues as a priority, and will update with more information as well as specific fixes as soon as they become available.

Are you planning on fixing the AI ramming you up the arse to knock you off the track and you getting a penalty for your troubles in the PS4 patch, please?
Apart from that quite enjoying the game, thanks

If there already IS a patch on its way and if it IS in sonys and microsofts submission process right now (as i remember they implied), i would NOT count on any AI-changes.
As the AI is in a horrible, horrible, horrible constitution it might need a complete or at least very intense rework. can't imagine this could be done so quick besides the fact they have to deal with many other critical issues. Any change/fix which has to be done on all platforms should be up on pc weeks(!) before the change comes to consoles. So as long as you don't hear or read about any improvements for pc-payers i would not start counting weeks until the change reaches you.

I personally hope the game will be in a "morally sellable" status until late September, which would mean, the ps4/XBone could be fixed around halloween. i know this sounds horrific but there is too much to do for a sooner (and realistic) expectation.
Sorry to say it that directly... but we know CM... and my hope is that they get it "kind of fixed" until the former release date - which would be optimistic anyways as they were redoing it from scratch with the new engine, they weren't just updating it as the years before.

[Cornflex1473 0]

I don't think the AI is that bad. I play on PC and if I have problems with AI drivers then it's at race start. They always try to bump a bit but if you are careful and aware what's to the left and right it is really good. The first two races were frustrating but now I got used to it. Most of the time I can properly react to how the AI is driving. I'm in the middle of my second season and the AI is quite challenging.
I play with a wheel and maybe it is a bit more precise than a gamepad which helps when driving close. But it's just a guess.

[Hughesy 254]

The only thing they need to change in regards to the AI is backmarkers, as they don't slow down or move/respond to blue flags. I hope they don't change the ai, as this is the first game where if they are side by side going into a corner they make the move if they can. All the other games they made, the ai would always back out and not fight you. For years people wanted more aggressive ai, now they have people still moan.

In 6 100% races I have only been hit once, but that was actually my fault as I turned in on his line so he had nowhere to go. In real races accidents happen all the time, so when the ai hit you I don't see it as bad design. Even in league races with mates we have come together, mistakes happen sadly while racing.

Well i for one am hoping they will fix this sooner rather than later ie later as in f1 2016

I worry that may be the case, That we won't get the major fixes/changes until the next game which by that point I'm pretty sure the majority of people here will ignore or pirate.
