It's too late for safety car and formation lap there are another bugs witch are most important to fix.

We don't know due to the lack of response from codemasters on the issue. The safety car is technically already in the game before you start a race so theirs a chance it could be placed in a patch. If they can put to two Manors into the game they most certainly can put a safety car or VSC into the game. 

That SC in the game is just a stupid graphic. It has nothing to do with the implementation of a working SC during the race. Stop asking. It was clear before release that there won't be a SC in this game.

I'm sorry last time I looked you didn't work for codemasters. There might be a possibility it could be sorted with a patch you don't know and neither do I tbh. The fact it's a stupid graphic anyway make it even more insulting the safety car is not in the game. I respect your opinion just as much you have to respect mine.

Until then I can and will keep asking unless codemasters gives the community a straight answer on the issue.

The multiplayer is absolutely the most important thing that needs fixing before luxuries like SC can be added while the previous patch mostly got rid of de-sync(xbox one ) it made the lobbies of more then 5 players insanely laggy cars doing all kinds of acrobatics that is the first major issue that needs addressing.The second one is the penalty system it's just a joke tbh a guy can ram you in the wall take off your front wing costing you thick end of a minute and he gets a 3 sec penalty! How can that be right? Just go back to penalty system from the last 3 games I mean that wasn't great but atleast in leagues we could work around them putting on reduced rules and removing penaltys that the game gave people unfairly.PLEASE PLEASE codies fix these things there are loads of us league racers chomping at the bit to race on this game but we can't because of these things.

I totally agree with what you are saying "if this is a bug affecting the game for you and your genre".

There are bugs affecting people on line, off line (single player), on PC, on XB1, on PS4, on wheels, on controller, etc, etc. The elimination of "All" of these should be an absolute top priority. Next in line should be all of  the bugs (that's what they are) that affect the realism, immersion and sometimes the race outcomes of the game i.e. Blue flag/Back Marker issue, AI tweaks, screwed up session results, etc, but above all, Game Breakers.

Then, IMHO, we can start thinking about features, goodies and replacing dropped features.

Why work on vocal interaction with you engineer on PC when there are serious issues to be fixed in this game. (I am a PC guy by the way)

Hi all,

I know this may come across as a little vague (hopefully it doesn't) and I know we've been what would appear to be quiet over the last few weeks but we just wanted to assure you that we are reading your posts and working as hard as we can on getting to the bottom of them.

Why didn't you work that hard before releasing this mess?. QA testing. Does that ring you a bell?, what's the deal with this Birmingham Studio?, Can't they release even one single game that works as intended after 5 attempts already?

I agree to a certain extent they could fix the netcode the bug's and bringing back connection bar's like in the past but you do know they wont be able to bring back lobbies list where you pick and choose in the past (on a custom GP) until the next game they would have to get rid of hoppers completely it would take one massive patch or something like that to reorganise all the options for Multiplayer.

I think the key word here is "Bugs"

The freezing then sped up gameplay bug is my biggest gripe! Makes the game unplayable as it can strike at any moment without notice!!

Will voice recognition works in PT-BR, too?

AI to slow at Monaco. Player starting a lap down and still wins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVSgDyK3-xs

1. no
2. NO
3. Must be fixed

Honestly, why formation lap is so goddamn important? Game doesn't have manual start and every time wheelspin bugs you down if you don't use traction control. That's a big problem in a racing game. The absence of a formation lap isn't.

That's your opinion, to you maybe not to others maybe it is.

Absolutely but I just don't get it. Formation lap doesn't affect the game, the race. It's just kind of a ritual before the race that makes it all look more like a real thing. And yet to many people it's more important than a real problem affecting race results. For example it is pointless now if you are on pole at the start - you'll lose it as soon as race begins.

So you don't think it matters to your race start?? the tyres being too hot or too cold makes all the different, it adds realism to your start! I'm not overly bothered but i can see why people want it incorporated, as has been said already, your opinion is definitely not the same as everyone else's, You can have your opinion but don't try and make it out that people are stupid for wanting it in the game! And in regards to the starts themselves I think that they need to make starts more realistic and it's all about learning how to control the throttle, in this instance practice makes perfect on the starts now and I like that it is challenging, maybe that's just my opinion...

@justbiglee 

First of all, i must say: Thank you Codies/Lee that you are finally inform the player about your current status of the game/patches. Please more of that in future - it's a step in the right direction.

Three Questions:

1. Will the Xbox One Patch release before the 30. August - Because on this day or league will start in melbourne.

2. I know you have more problems to fix bugs etc. but can you tell us something about the Live Updates? When we can calculate the next Update which will change the whole Aerodynamic of McLaren (for Example).

3. Have you already look at into my question few days ago, about the different sound between the TV onboard cameras?

glad to see the patches.
hopefully something will fix the steering wheel issues on DFPro

is there also a fix of the fuel bug , what I noticed in online mode ,that people are complaining and including me ,we take like for 2 laps fuel on the first run of qualy and that works fine ,we join back to get new tyres to do the next qualylap and sudenly our feul is like +4 laps even we choose 2 laps , but we are still able to do 1 fast lap but somehow our car is a little slower , and another thing is that sometimes people get +70 fuel and they cant change it anymore ,and topspeed is then very poor.

Thanks Lee. This is good! I hoped more opening and communucating fans an this little is better than before. Keep going!

Fix the way you're laptimes are showing on track, especially in FP and qualifying. I don't get it.
- I see a red sector but yet a green laptime, got something to do with sectors?!
- Am I improving my own lap or not? 
- Am I up on the pole time or not?

In other words: why not show it just the way as on TV? On the left the diffirence between you en P1 and on the right the difference between my own fastest lap. 

The way it is now it makes no sence!

You have played this game before right? You have been behind a safety car? It would be the same for a formation lap. You will be partially under computer control so you don't get to close or too far behind anyone you cannot warm up your tyres or brakes properly. And if not under computer control they will be someone that will take his sweet time getting back to the grid so your nicely warmed tyres will be stone cold by the time the race starts that is assuming everyone has made it back to the grid without crashing into someone or going off track.

Would it add to the game? Who knows? Should there be an option to get rid of it? Yes. The novelty would wear off very quickly and if there is no way to bypass it people will just sit and curse CM because it is there.

Yeah. I have the same. As long you don't have red sector-time you are faster than your personal best... but how much faster?? Nobody knows

Just finished Montreal 100% (YAY no windowed mode crash) and the Blue Flag/Back Marker issue was horrendous. Even had them DRS'ing me after I had managed to pass them.
