Qatar massively bugged

Product: F1 23
Platform:PlayStation 5
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug Qatar has an insane amount of bugs, among them insane graphics glitches while driving at night in Cockpit Cam, massively heavy tire wear like never seen in any F1 game and insanely difficult practice program targets in e.g. Race Strategy.
What is your 16 digit Report Code? PBGG-XGHB-KGMP-SSKA
Can you please provide the name of your current internet service provider? Unitymedia
Which area is the bug/glitch in? Single Player
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play a full Career Mode weekend in Qatar, in Cockpit Cam only.
What happens when the bug occurs? Around the edges of halo, chassis and steering wheel, the graphics flicker a lot, and beyond those, it looks like it's foggy, but this is also graphics-related. Also, the practice program target times are very hard to reach, and the tire wear is insane (1.62x in my case).
What do you expect to see? The graphics shouldn't flicker around like that, the tire wear should not be as massive, and the practice program target times should be realistic for the difficulty you race on.

Dear EA,

as stated above, Qatar has a lot of bugs that need to be taken care of ASAP. I will enclose some screenshots of Practice 1 and Qualifying to show you what I mean.

I should also mention that I play the game with the Quality graphics setting on PS5, so I certainly should not be seeing any flickering graphics at all.

Let's hope for the best.

- Nico

    Similar issues for me. I've played it in PC. Incredibly high tyre deg. And the tyre deg is high jsut for me and not the AI.

    @LuckyNico92 Same here, also on PS5. The track literally eats my tires, got a puncture in the last lap on a 50% race. During practice, I couldn't complete the Race Strategy programme, but in qualifying I got pole position. On the track, there is poor quality pixelated "fog" everywhere. The devs have to fix basically EVERYTHING regarding this track.

    Summarize your bug As stated Qatar has an insane amount of bugs, for example: graphics glitches, really bad tyre deg, really bad fuel consumption, AI drivers running out of fuel before the end, practice programmes are way too difficult and possibly more.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play a full Career Mode weekend in Qatar - simple as that.
    What happens when the bug occurs? Fuzzy/TV static looking graphics which are even more pronounced in the replay, Tyre deg is insane - during the race I did 10 laps on mediums and all 4 tyres were well above 50% which is farrrrr above what the strategy was telling me at the start - AI drivers were also on softs and did more laps than me on the mediums which makes no sense, surely they should be above 70% or more in that case? Fuel consumption was utterly awful - had to massively manage fuel for the majority of the race costing me to lose many unnecessary places and even then I ran out just before the finish line plus many AI drivers (pretty much half the grid) ran out of fuel on the last lap just before the line, causing many to lose multiple positions. Practice programmes such as race strategy are overly hard, I am playing on difficulty 105 with Mclaren and my target lap was a 1.21.5 - this was a full 7/8 TENTHS faster than the quickest AI driver on softs during that session which is almost impossible to achieve. Overall it seems Qatar is one big buggy mess. 
    What do you expect to see? A normal and enjoyable experience without any of the mentioned issues, just like any other race weekend.‌

    As stated above Qatar is riddled with bugs which unfortunately make it flat out unenjoyable to play, which is a real shame considering it is brand new in this years game and quite fun to drive around. This needs to be fixed ASAP along with the countless other bugs this game seems to have.....
