@SteveJacksonRemoving Nyck de Vries was probably the worst decision, as for one, he drove the first race in Bahrain, for two, he's still available to play as in F1 Replay, and for three, his section in the compendium is still there.
Daniel isn't even featured in the compendium as he only rejoined the grid mid-season.
Also, since the roster this year is not much different aside from Daniel Ricciardo being at AlphaTauri, it would make more sense to bring Nyck de Vries back to F1 23, add Daniel Ricciardo as a free agent in Career Mode and release the 2024 season as paid DLC. Then it would actually make sense to have Daniel in the grid as he's part of it from the beginning. Other development studios have done this as well in the past, like 704 Games with NASCAR Heat 5.
I should also mention that swapping two drivers from different teams like in F1 2019 is fair game, but removing a driver means removing a piece of the real life season, making it unrealistic from start to end.
Without wanting to labour the point, it’s a game, the behaviour is consistent with previous titles and your method is unnecessarily complex.
Say it quietly, but the majority of players will find this acceptable and are not really bothered. They wanted DR3 back in the game.
He never left.

@EA_GroguetMajor issue caused by this patch - leagues completely messed up as equal performance is occurring suddenly despite being set to off. So now we have Zhou/Tsunoda/Albon on pole Absolute farce, this had already been fixed after months of frustration.
Seems to be a recurring theme.
Settings buckets when people choose to default to something other is badly affected by patches.
Patches are why I think the career mode is pointless until the game is final. And then if you hit an issue, your progress is pointless. Start again.
Thankfully it’s not an issue as playing AI for me is not how I derive value from playing.
Short story modes and scenarios are probably my choice or a weekly event. Sadly they are not free of issues either.

@SteveJacksonhigher input lag are inevitable with frame generation technique, don´t have what anyone can do about that
Yeah but the game engine is designed to take a controller input reading every frame.
This combined with default frame sync to be OFF is a recipe for disaster as you say. It would be far better served to have a fixed frame rate in game, say 60 and to allow multiples without increasing the controller sample rate.
Frame times are spiking on older spec machines and early consoles. Must be purely a numbers decision to retain sales.
Frame generation would be fine if it doesn’t change input polling,
When we can expect McLaren 2024 livery?

We should not expect McLaren's 2024 livery - or any other team's 2024 livery for that matter - to be present on this game. F1 23 is bound to reflect the 2023 F1 season.
Unless McLaren themselves want to make said livery available as part of a marketing push. That's up to their own discretion.
Baseline, expect nothing. And we won't be getting any word otherwise until it is done and officially announced.

Been a little while since I’ve seen a proper @SteveJackson reply. 👍
