F1® 23 - Patch 1.15 Discussion Thread

Dear EA/Codies,

Every patch introduces issues that were not present in the previous version.

How can we justify paying 70-80€ per year for this?

I'm a long-time player who is incredibly frustrated with all these issues and is seriously considering quitting the game because you can't seem to deliver.

What about the inconsistent performance on kerbs? There's not even a mention of that, and even the big players in esports are raising concerns.

What about all the bugs and crashes related to Safety Car, VSC, and Red Flags in online play?

What about the re-addition of ultrawide in replays?

Furthermore, every update seems to require a hotfix because it hasn't been tested as thoroughly as it should be.

Please, please and please, fix your game. We're tired of being let down by the lack of attention to the game and the community.

Fix the absolute calamity you have now created at Spain with a massive bump on the left kerb before the last corner. Makes the car go airborne. Do any of you actually tests these patches before they are released?

@DRudd13 as you played ranked, are multiple track limits giving time penalties now?

Why is Jarno Opmeer's pace and overall rating really that low?

Great job. New patch, new bugs. Nice advertising for the game https://twitter.com/PremierSimGL/status/1713947180069797950?t=eNXUhoITQs9i4056iABdZw&s=19

Hi Everyone,

I was really looking foward to download and check the newest patches as I do really like how the visual of the cars are changing, paint jobs being polished etc. which I believe went very well. Nice job. But on the other hand I simply cannot believe that anyone is testing the patches as we do have a new bug on Spain which was already mentioned by a few drivers.

Please find attached my example. I tried multiply cars, different angles, gears etc. in order to be able to simulate that invisible wall/bump bug. This is ridiculous. Imagine that any of you hardly manage to run a better track time or just simply do Grand Prix, Career or even League Race and got crashed because of that. EA. Seriously. Please release a hotfix and involve us into the patch testing deeper than now. I can also imagine that you could run some kind of "test environment" in order to find these bugs together.

There is also another issue which does not connected to the newest patch but still being in the game which are the different collison modells for each cars. Right now as far as I know the Alpha Tauri is nearly impossible to get any damage which is also nonsense.. some of the cars like Red Bull, Alpine, Ferrari are much fragile compared to the AT... When we can expect any kind communication regarding these? When you are going to fix this also? During a leauge race it can be decisive who will be a champion/winner whatelse if somebody does not driving the AT but other car...

Can you please advise a deadline when you are going to fix these problems not mentioned the others?

Regards,
Adam/fazer

Is that video a joke?😱 so Spain is undriveable. 

i just returned from (another) ban because being too critical and having an opinion gets you banned over here as a way to silence you when the truth hurts apparently.

anyways again a lack of TESTING PATCHES before release 

it’s becoming more hilarious than annoying I have to admit. Just because of failure after failure and I’m beyond of being pissed of, i feel sorry for Codemasters and EA because of how pathetic it’s becoming how they can’t manage to even release 1 working patch wothout destroying things and NOT TESTING THEM! 

what a bunch of amateurs!🤣🤣🤣 (ban incoming!🤪)

Wow, i can't believe, the Goals working again for me!

But don't understand some people still have issue with this.

1) No matter how you look at it, F1 23 is a failure of a game in my view. I've been calling it F1 22.5 from time to time, but even that is a stretch

2) I cannot and have not recommended this franchise for a while now

3) The post-launch support this game has had is atrocious

4) I have never ever seen in my life as a "Champion" seen someone being banned for being "too critical and having an opinion" or because their "truth hurts". Never. I have seen warnings and suspensions given for those that have no tact to differ from being critical to being uncivil though – two completely distinct things.

For all Codemasters failings, the CMs I've personally seen working on this boards have all done their job irreproachably. For whatever it's worth, the day I see someone being banned for reasonable albeit harsh criticism will be the day I'll be giving this site a solemn goodbye.

God knows it is most definitely not the game that has made me hang around for so long.
