Re: F1® 24 - Patch 1.14 Discussion Thread

i have played with some friends a multiplayer game. We had some issues

So.. here a list of what happened:

- i got kicked before starting a race with the error "not enough players to start the match", but we were 8 players (it was monaco, we had 20min qualify)

- when re-entering the race i tried to regain control of my car, but after choosing the option "take control" i could only see the IA running my car without having any hud or chance to take control of my car. After 2 full laps i exited and re-entered the session, but my car was retired

- one of the player saw this into the lap remaining to box:

(look at the blue number in the right-bottom corner)

- 2 of the CPU "forgot" to go into the box, so they didn't change the tire and got disqualified

- a CPU got the fastest time ever on monaco: 36 seconds

- after that we have to race in Baku. It had perfect weather, a perfect sun without any clouds.. but half of us had intermediate tires for the qualify session

- the smoke is too heavy and stays on track too much time, its really impossibile to follow other players

(in this screeshot you can see the smoke of only 2 cars 2 seconds ahead of me, a CPU and a player. When there are 4 or more cars you can't see anything, and this happen on EVERY corner)

I'm playing on PS5, but the game was in crossplay with some PC and some XBOX users. This 1.14 patch needs some work IMHO

@marcusm2022 

Thanks. I'll try that today after work. My current settings were "TAA and Fidelity FX Sharpening" or something like that. Used to work pretty well up until yesterday

i have the same problem

before this update, the graphics are all smooth and good

after this update, first need to set DLSS for better FPS

second, i think every lap will have a moment that suddenly frame drop, so many times i went off the track

@marcusm2022 Thanks for the suggestion. I tried every setting possible but nothing changed. Even changed resultion as well. Generally I achieve the desired framerate. But the game freezes still occur, no matter what graphical settings i use. This makes the game literally completely unplayable since you tend to lose the car even in a straight line when driving on a wheel.

I sincerely hope for a quick fix to this issue since other users seem to have similar problems.

Is anyone else seeing the image flickering during normal race? I have done the benchmark which looked amazing, then every race seems like the frame rate went to 25fps.

I have checked every setting, normally i play in High quality but even in low settings still occurs.

It's been a year almost. everytime a patch comes out, something else breaks. enough is enough EA! please!! @EA_Groguet please someone do something.

I know this year sales haven't been good, but the game was still playable. Since yesterday I've been trying but for the first time in many years I don't really want to play. It's putting me off and i can only imagine how many other players are feeling the same.

i have the same issue. it destroyed my league race and idk how to fix it. it is not my connection with more then enough mbps's to have a normal race. i had that before the 1.14 patch. idk what changed, but this is completely destroying league races

Same for me. Turning off DLSS mitigate the problem. Dev team needs to fix these frame drops. The depend on the track it seems. 

Dear agony Aunt,

So a funny thing about traction in the full wet in Hungary. I Started a race and had good grip but had to quit unexpectedly to help the wife. When I got back to the game I had no grip but had to quit again. So I decided to restart the race when I knew I could do it in one sitting and had better grip than ever. Definitely better than pre 1.14. Was TC touched? Why is it good, bad, better? Am I losing my mind?

Signed Perplexed and Confused. 

Hello,

The game is still experiencing random freezes, and I don't understand the cause. The 1.15 hotfix that fixes the smoke issue works well, but the freezes and the unusability of the Photomode are still present.

huge fps drops, the game keeps stuttering with fps dropping randomly, every lap, sometimes more than once a lap. Its unplayable right now

I have same problem get random freeze and pc reboots. Totally ruined the game. Please roll back the last two patches 1.14 and 1.15

Same Problem here

Maybe it has always been this way but if I take an extra engine component before qualifying I lose grid spots, if I do it after qualifying I get told I will lose grid spots but start where I qualified anyway. 

Oddly in each instance I had a mechanical DNF in the race, which could have been coincidental. 

Hi,

Thanks for the tip, but it didn't work out. I tried everything, but it didn’t bring a solution.

There’s only one option: reverting the game to version 1.13. The whole thing is unplayable and terrible like this; even micro-lags are unacceptable in a racing game.

I’m starting to get tired of this. Again.....

The problem with the random stuttering at a given point in every lap especially in F1 World still exists and has not been adressed yet. This is acrucial issue that needs to be adressed with highest priority as it makes online play useless right now. The game heavily stutters every lap at the same point in every lap. Needs to be adressed. Deleting the hardwaresettings.xml files does not help here.

EA - adress this please. 

Discovered today that a new version 1.16 has been released. Just did one Time Trial session. Problem with stuttering still exists. Until 1.13  there was no problem. Now there is.

Where can I get a refund? As uninstalling updates is not possible AFAIK.
