F1 2015 - PS4 Patch - 22/07/15

[MichalS 0]

Hi,

New Patch summary on my multiplayer PS4 game (always standard sprint):

- synch seems to be ok - I've played 6 races with my friends and we had no problem with synchronization, always racing to each other 
- there is bug because in 3rd or 4th race where more people joined the session (we were 3 and another 4 joined) - we had normal race start but it last only for 1:30 minute - from the start countdown meter swithed on like you finished the race aleady and have last 1:30 seconds to finish (it happend once but I know that to the others it was also a bug from time to time.
- car pick - It is strage but in the lobby we were able to pick three ferraris (or 3 mercedes, generally 3 same cars)....so three people in the car without blocking anything - we never raced like that because always somebody has change his car - but it was available to pick
- enginner voice commands - it doesnt work for me - I play T300 GTE wheel and have pad connected with headset - engenner dosnt understand what im saying so every time his response is that he dosn't understand, can you repeat etc etc. - voice commands not working
- hopper lobby (which might be a good idea but race duration, and all setup is wery wrong) still not working - you have to wait for ages to join any session in which mostly there us up to 3-4 players only...
- corner cuts (Australia, Malesia, Monaco) - for sure it is updated somehow because now you can not cut corners - so that fix works - thanks
- did you improve start? I've a feeling that car desn't slip so much when starting from lights (or maybe I'm wrong just practice makes perfect?:) )


Risto_182 <- thats my psn login - add me to your friends if you want to play good online races (no assits at all).

Patch is good, but introduced a problem on the F1 rim t300 .... The OSD is used on the circle button, but that's already assigned to activate DRS....  If I use custom control settings it messes up using the ds4 to return to pits??????
why did u put the control on same button, the only way to use my wheel now is to have the HUD entirely off.

More problems i encounter after the new patch.

Australia, championshipmode, expert, ps4
During the race i was racing against a set of wheels!! Their was no bodywork, just a set of wheels! The set of wheels was suppose to be Massa.

Also the fuel settings keep changing after a pitstop or after i use a flashback. It seems that after a flashback the fuel settings go to Rich and after a pitstop the fuel setting jumps to lean.

I went to return the game but ofcourse the store wouldn't take the game back.
I'm gonna file complaints at consumer organisation against the store and CM.

Hi Devs,

Thanks for the patch release on 22nd. I bought the game last week and felt it was unplayable but this latest patch has addressed most of the issues I observed personally and am now starting to have some fun with it which is why we buy these games!

I have a question about frame-rate and perception of speed please. I appreciate you use a different game engine but the immersion and impression of high speed is very impressive when racing in FormulaA on Project Cars however F1 2015 (PS4) has been unable to give me the same feeling. I like to race in cockpit view and I have noticed on F12015 (PS4) the frame-rate feels a lot lower in cockpit camera mode than if using the nose cam or from behind the car. If in cockpit mode if you use the rear view button and look behind, the frame-rate seems to increase and the speed at which the environment flies past the car is the feeling I want when driving forward. Is this a performance area you are looking to improve with subsequent updates? I do understand that when in the cockpit there is a lot more of the car to draw on screen however personally I think the drop is too significant to be ignored.

The cars in F12015 travel at roughly the same top speed as those in Project Cars (if the cars speedometer can be trusted) but the feeling I as the driver get in F12015 sadly is not as impressive as Project Cars and I was hoping it would be at least as good. PC has its own list of faults but I find myself drawn to racing open-wheel in that more often than F1 just because I love to drive and F1 doesn't give me the same fun factor, yet!

Multiplayer is still messed up, if im in a lobby with 2 or 3 players and more people join while we are racing, the next race will always be a 1 lap race with the winner declared at lights out.

Codemasters, 
Plese restore the session browser as it was in previous versions. The current multiplayer functionality is not acceptable.

Not only you.....

My whole decision of buying PS4 is based on one game only. I don't even play online. I just want to play single player championship mode with full Q1 Q2 Q3 and race distance of my choice.

The ball is in CM court as I wait for appropriate patches....

[listek2000 5]

very important:

- more rooms (servers) !!!! 

I'm still waiting more than half hour to multiplayer session :( And if you're lucky :(

Online TV race Hungaroring not work, after an hour I gave up :(

next very important :

If the host bans the all assistance,
the driver can change the settings (ABS) in the lobby and cheat on the race :(

Guys my T300 wheel after the patch now has no DRS as the button is  duplicated with info button.
AI is not good at all, they ram from behind and in a race it is not really playable . Game at points speeds up and then comes back and if your not lucky you can crash off the track. T300 FFB needs to be looked at as well. Look I do love this game but it needs major fixing

The problem of pitstops is becoming serious. Teammates change tires at the same time. The whole competition is distorted.

[peanutt2000 79]

There's a lot wrong with the game but the team mates pitting on the same lap is ruining the racing. If they sorted that and the fuel bug I think it would be a good game. Loving racing the AI.

Don't get why this is such a smaller game than the other.. Wasn't the One supposed to be a step up from the 360?? Look how adjustable Project Cars is, I'm not talking licensing issues things, but like camera angles, when it rains and when it stops, number of laps, car settings, limited lobbies, lobbies that you can search for AND FIND. I could go on and on, because PC is a richer, more personal game. Don't get this step back in a direction which CM have decided to take on this "next gen" instalment of what should be the best driving / racing game out there! Which in a few ways it has potential to be. 
One example I'll leave you with of a shoddy product. My wet races don't include ONE PUDDLE. No spray off my or other cars tires. Such a disappointment. 

[peanutt2000 79]

Currently doing a 2014 100% season and since the second ps4 patch I've done 2 races at Great Britain and Germany and in the last 10 laps of each race the track has suddenly become wet even though it's not raining and the full grid come in for intermediates. I ask the engineer for the weather forecast and he says it should stay dry. Seems that the second patch has caused more bugs. This is very annoying as I was enjoying my season. Has this happend to anyone else??? Please sort this out code masters with another patch soon.

Where is the update for the PS4 in N.A? I checked this morning ( July 25th) I only have the 1.01 update available?

[worldrevolver1 0]

I am in the USA and no patch past 1.0 yet.

did they fix the car info not showing with the circle button with the first 1.0 patch? because I see the car info. 

[RedSquirrel87 0]

There is also a bug with "Hard Times" trophy on PS4, I completed already three races in Pro Season and the game gave me still no trophy I tried everything, no save/reload, even no pause, no time penalty at the end, always concluded the race within the time limit... nothing worked. Please fix it

[worldrevolver1 0]

Is it possible that the US/NA day one patch has these changes in?

for example, on ps4 I see the car damage and tire wear display when I press the circle button twice. I also see fastest times in purple which seems to be in the later patch.

did codies combine patches in the US day one patch?

How do you load up a multiplayer game you and you friend have made . Every time we want to play online together it makes us start the whole season again

I also have this problem on the PS4 using a T500 F1 rim.... Drs and Info both allocated to the circle button.

configure your wheel settings and customize your buttons. I have T500 F1 rim and do not have this issue. Just configured the buttons the way I want. It is not a bug

I have been having a lot of the same issues mentioned in this post, and will outline below what has happened for me.

When I first played the game I had no audio from the race announcers and my engineer in my PS4 Gold headphones, and then the next time I played I could hear my race engineer perfectly clear and louder than the volume from the car/race. On the third time I went to play, my engineer's voice was so quiet I couldn't hear what he's saying. I have turned my race engineer volume up to 100 in the audio settings and it hasn't changed anything.

Also, I have tried several times to join a multiplayer session online, and after waiting 10 minutes I am lucky if I can join a session. In regard to one session I was able to join, I was the only person in there and it eventually booted me out of the session. I have not been able to join with other players to race.

I had one issue where I was starting a race on pole, ran 2 laps in qualifying which should leave me with plenty of life left in my tires. I had to quit the session after qualifying and come back later for the race, and when I get to the race the life of my tires was estimated at less than one lap. I made it half way through the lap and one of my front tires blew out while braking into a corner. This was very frustrating. I also, had one race where I went to the pits, and changed the tires I wanted before entering, and when I get to the box my crew is just standing there and not changing my tires. I did not have a penalty, and sat there for over 30 seconds and still didn't get my tires changed. After I dropped from 1st to 20th on the grid I quit the session.

Lastly, I have not been able to ask my engineer questions. I ask the same, or different, questions over and over again, but I never get a response.

Please fix these bugs for us in the USA. Thanks!

No offence Codemasters, but a lot of these bugs still exist on the PS4. Only today i was doing time trial, came out of it and instead of going to the games menu, the game crashed and i ended up on the PS4 menus. On a few different matters. Why do i get a penalty or warning when the AI ram into me or ram me off the track and they get nothing? Also, where's the stop and go/ drive through penaties? having just time penalties is crap! Where's the Safety car? Why don't the backmarkers get out of your way when you're lapping them? Also, when on a flying lap in qualy, the AI on an in lap or an out lap do NOT get out of the way! This last point may sound a bit trivial to some, but where are the cars antenas? Appart from the Merc and Red Bull the others don't have their antenas. The cars look so much better and realistic with them. I would like that fixed please.

I also have the T300 with F1 rim, re-mapped it and its fine. DRS button is DRS and info is asigned to button K and its fine.
