Thank you, hopefully this will get through the submission process sooner rather than later and then at last I might be able to blow the dust off the case and play the game I expected to purchase two months ago.

What will the status of multiplayer be following deployment of this patch?  Still issues you're working on?

[Andyomazing 0]

The main thing for my group that race together is the AI drivers lagging during a race, will this be fixed ??

Team are currently working on PS4 and PC at the moment, we need to take stock and review the out standing issues at some point soon as well.

While these are all great and well done codies for hopefully fixing all these issues there's nothing mentioned here about fixing multiplayer playability.The lag is horrendous with cars teleporting all over the place,are there any plans to do something about this? I realise that it's probably impossible to completely eradicate the lag but just to get the game in a playable state for league racing like 2013/14 were? Also are there any plans to remove AI from multiplayer lobbies because if I wanted to race AI I'd play single player?

Is the 'F1 Super Hero' achievement fixed in this update?

Do you mean penalties for corner cutting?

[Rodrigoenlinea 0]

Will you update the McLaren Short Nose with this patch? 

[mixmax83 7]

please @dnote do not remove the penalties, many already are missing, such as not respecting the blue flags.

He is taking about the leniency of corner cutting where drivers don't get a warning for corner cutting/track extending. The penalty system on time trial is much better please implement that onto custom lobbies especially for league racing

[Dnote 0]

Okay, the team are investigating what, if anything, they can change with the penalties on corners, independently of the current patch work. If you have any specific corners that you think it is a particular problem on, then that would help narrow their focus.

I think he talking about warnings for corner cutting after the fifth warning you have a drive through penalty as with the games in the past

@Dnote Is the F1 superhero achievement glitch fixed? I see no mention of it. Thanks in advance

[JP072 2]

I think he does!
iam thankfull there is some news on the xbox patch, allready counting down!:)
this patch include that you can change length and quali in pro season mode? And otherwise championship mode? I heard ps4 and pc users have this allready?
and dnote is even a stop and go penalty possible in the game? I never saw it till now, and i guess iam one of the few that still plays the game alot 

[mixmax83 7]

but if a player cuts the corner quickly it should be penalized (3,5,10 seconds).

Every single track where you can go all 4 wheels off the track & gain an advantage without getting warning, it's very rare that you get a penalty. I'm a league coordinator at xcite racing league & we have 2 stewards streaming the race on spectate mode. Because the corner cutting system is so bad we have to resort to monitor all the drivers coner cutting/track extending instead of showing the viewers good racing battles. Please improve your system as it will benefit our live streams & improve clean racing for everyone

That's exactly what i mean. 

The cutting /extend / penalty System from F1 2013 was perfect. That the dev's fix it in f1 15 so good, that we have the 2013 System is no surprise but they can implement the System from time trial.

@ Dnote,  Please ask the dev's, that they fix the problem now !
Many leagues have wait for this patch. In my league, we want Start a week after the patch release but now, we can't start. 
Many league drivers are so angry, that they think about, to stop to drive in a league.

Take a look on AOR or TSR. They all wait for a playable multiplayer.

When we must wait another 4 - 8 weeks, many leagues must closed because the driver lost the fun and have the feeling from a codemasters kickass.

PLEASE FIX IT NOW

(Sorry for my english)

Yes the corner cut and track extending detection for modes other that TT needs adjustment (not to the extent of TT as it is too strict in some places, I get an off track warning at Singapore with only 2 wheels over the line, go any further over and I am in a wall). The usual suspect is Canada that is notorious for corner cutting and has been since I have started playing with F1 2012. So yes it would be great to have it fixed.

Having said that I do not believe it should totally disrupt what are being touted as "clean and fair racing leagues" If you do not trust your drivers enough not to corner cut or track extend that you have to watch them like little kids then it not so clean and fair then is it?

Let me see a show of hands: How many of you are willing to test all aspects of F1 2016 prior to release, for free?

Why not do a closed beta? @Dnote

Probably not as many as those who will pay full price to test it after retail release.

NOTHING about multiplayer sync/lag fixes?
