Xbox One - Patch Notes 22/09/15

[PauL2012 0]

the main issue why me and my friends stopped playing is that after a multiplayer race with 4 of us and the rest set to ai i can finish 1st and the other 3 2nd, 3rd or 4th or any order and once the race has finished one of us will freeze and get booted out and the rest of the results will be messed up and ai drivers like Stevens etc show as lapping the whole field etc, we have not played it in weeks but i don't see any fix in that list for this :(

@dnote I note you replied to some posts on here but not my question regarding multiplayer? This game only has 4 modes one of which is pointless the championship mode soon gets boring as does time trial so the game has no longevity unless the multiplayer is in a working state so I ask again what do you at codemasters propose to do about the unplayability of multiplayer in terms of lagging/teleporting cars and de-sync because there is nothing in these patch notes that says anything about multiplayer fixes which I find astonishing and deeply frustrating??

Agreed, penalty system is totally consistent.

At most times that you cut a corner you just get a warning, so you can take advantage of it cutting corners, get only warnings and saving a lot of time.

The penalty system could be like that: the best time that one driver can do in that corner is X, if another driver cutted (putting its four wheels outside the white line) that corner and he was faster than value X, he deserves a penalty. I mean "faster" than X cause one player can miss corners sometimes, its normal, since he realized that he's really miss and wont save time because that mistake.

For ps4 patch needs to invalidate lap when player cutting corners please
if not correct this, you can do good laps cutting corners a lot

The corner cutting system is fine, but is too lenient, you can cut 20+ times before getting any sort of penalty. what you should do is give the lobby host a option like car damage to have strict, average, easy.

*Strict would allow you have say 3 track cut the whole race. then DQ and if you get exceeded track limited 3 times, it can give you  time penalties.

*Average would be 3 track cuts then you slowly get time pens, start at 3 secs and if you continuing the pens keep getting bigger.  and if you get exceeded track limited 5 times, it can give you  time penalties.

*easy, stays at the current system.

and the MOST important thing you need to fix is in qualifying if you exceed track limited please cancel the lap time. for some reason you can take alot of shortcuts and it still counts as your best time.
during qualifying maybe have tt rules in place.

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



no. You see he ignores the question since a World Champion. 

Its over for me with CM, thats try here is only for the public...not more. For this fixes so many weeks??

I really hope you have nailed the mentioned bugs. Looking forward to it.

@Hennes8 Yeah I noticed it's gone completely ignored. Ah well, same old bullcrap, different minion telling us. 

I'm not downplaying this patch, it looks fine (apart from the achievement glitch which they have know for bloody ages), it's just, this game came out in July.... It's September now and XB1 have had ONE post release patch.... for a game which is, for a lot of people, no almost all people, broken.

We're talking to Microsoft about this, from our investigations we've been unable to identify any problems in our code or communications with the platform, which suggests it could be an issue on their end. We'll have to wait and see how this pans out, joint investigations can be time consuming at best, simply from communications delays, but as we've mentioned elsewhere, this is a very busy time of year for the first parties.

How difficult is it to get corner cutting right??
all 4 wheels off? Warning!
3 corner cuts? Penalty!

Sometimes the results that you see in game aren't actually from the cause that you would naturally expect, there is usually much more at work behind the scenes than that depending on how the systems have been built and interact with each other.

In the case of corner cutting, the severity of the warning/penalty could be an easy change, but the criteria that triggers it might be a lot more difficult to change. The team is still looking into this, but one initial concern that was raised with it was that it might require a change to the circuit resource files. Rebuilding 17gb of circuit files to adjust the severity of corner cutting is a massive task, so at the moment we're letting the team investigate this further and hoping that they come up with a more reasonable solution. Which is another reason why specific corners where it is a big issue can help us, if we can isolate and fix a single corner, without rebuilding the circuit, then we can replicate that fix to other corners.

Perhaps measuring apex / corner exit speed and applying a penalty when exceeds x % of nominal apex/exit speed?

[CBFHamilton 1]

The worst thing I thing in this game about corner cuttin is that online, you can get a warning for cutting a carner AND yet finish your lap. It's just plain stupidity.

You will need to do it sooner or later because this is massive issue , especially during races ! Making it an unfair game.

yo @dnote I cant understand why you need the community to tell the devs what corners can be cut etc. give them a few hours actually playing the game and they can see for themselves, codies is really turning into the biggest amateurs in the gaming industry, its like they need us to spoon feed them. Such an embarrassment! They never listen to us about features before the game comes out then rely on us to fix the very mistakes they make going way off tangent in the dev phase and people pay 50 bucks for what is basically a yearly beta test.

To anyone, does this update provide you with the ability to set pedal travel which was not here previously. i.e. so the game can accurately gauge what 0%-100% travel is on your pedal set?

It's not that simple though, is it. Four wheels off on the inside of a corner is very different to four wheels off on the outside. Ok, so just make it a penalty when you cut the inside... Except if it's a series of bends, then running wide might have given me an advantage for the next corner, too. Ok, so we'll just predetermine which side of each corner you should get a penalty for. Fine, but if I've been forced to run off the track to avoid another car, I shouldn't be getting a penalty either way, and even the real stewards in the real sport have trouble deciding that sort of thing sometimes, let alone a game that has to decide in half a second. I probably shouldn't get one if I was doing 2mph rather than 200 when I cut the corner, either, as it's hard to imagine what sort of advantage I've gained by doing that. And so on...

Well try Bahrain circuit. You cut corners and exceed track limits and get no warnings even. In quali, a corner cut should invalidate lap just like in TT Start with quali issue. In race would be a next step we can somehow live with

[Hubbadee 2]

One thing we are thinking of introducing if the corner cuts remain are possible penalty for every warning unless provided evidence of a legit reason I.e had to run off to avoid incident! Anyway this is a minor issue atm,would much rather have some lobby stability so I can race with more than 5 people! Desperate for this game to be suitable for some league action.  We got 3 grids ready for lights out! @Dnote seems to be cracking some whips,let's stop with the desperate whining we are all in the same unhappy boat. 

[TARJAM 0]

Also the weather forecast system is crap. Previous games you would get weekend prediction thus apply parc ferme and have drivers do a compromise for quali to have good race pace. Now it is impossible to apply parc ferme. Try pressure should be an adjustable thing before a race. That is allowed in real races to adjust to race conditions especially mixed conditions

We have started our 100% zero assists league on PS4 and only things we still need are 1. ABS should be always off as required by host 2. Quali corner cutting 3. Weather forecast for the whole weekend

While not perfect the corner cutting system on the previous 2 iterations of the game were at least work aroundable where leagues just ran reduced rules and removed any unfair penaltys.So just get the game back to that state would be a start.But all of that is irrelevant if you still have an unplayable multiplayer!!! And despite 2 posts asking @Dnote what codies plan to do about this he has not replied despite having replied to many other posts! So that leads me to believe that codies are gona do precisely F##k all about it and we the loyal consumer have wasted our money and can go swing!!! Mad with this company don't even begin to describe my feelings.
