And the community keeps raising issues with no responses from anyone. No surprise why people are losing interest in caring about this game and why the player count is already about 1/8th of what it was at launch. Sure, not all the issues getting raised are actual issues with the game, but there are still plenty of reported issues that ARE issues with the game. No one's asking for them to be fixed right now, but it would sure be nice if someone would at least ACKNOWLEDGE the feedback we're giving you (feedback that you all have requested since launch).The players have been beta testing this game for two months, and many of us have given constructive feedback, all while using the Reporting format that EA demands us to use.

Agreed, we need more and better communication to at least inform us in a bit more detail how things are progressing regarding the major issues we have to deal with.I think the frustration from the community is because for most people the game is in such a calamitous and unplayable condition. These aren't small issues, small bugs. They are in fact game breaking ones that need to be resolved rapidly.The handling model for controller players is a disaster since the release of 1.7. The AI DRS, ERS trains completey spoil the immersion regarding trying to mirror realistic racing. Factor in the other issues and this is why people are completely fed up and frustrated.Being told "it's been reported to the team" with no further in depth correspondence for weeks is why people have had enough of F124.The game is broken.

@Cpayne32 So you are not able to directly talk to any devs. Or are you? Do you notice something?OK, then where is the feedback that they are "constantly trying to get"? Where are the fixes?There is no longer any excuse for not correcting errors that have partially been known for years. They charge money for a AAA title, deliver B (at most, because let's not forget it's been more or less the same game since many releases) and post-release support is C.They let us starve on their outstretched arm, implement some placebo champions to calm our minds. Nobody from CM, let alone EA, stands up to the headwind and makes an authoritative statement. The champions (whose voluntary work I really appreciate) take all the trouble, but can only influence things to a limited extent, if at all. And they don't even get paid for it! A great strategy from a company's point of view.This has to stop!

I don’t have contact with the devs no. Im really hoping that the drop in sales alongside the concurrent player drop is a wake up call though.

I would like to add: the work of the Champions in this forum is not “placebo”! They really have a lot of knowledge and insight in many areas that they pass on to the community. They enliven this forum. If it was only based on the shoulders of EA/CM the forum would be dead! They just provide the technical framework for it, that's it.Thank you!

They updated it again today for the first time in a while and no mention of stuff the community has talked about like #1 or drivers retiring from F1 and other stuff. Matter of fact it hasn't changed in terms of stuff they are looking into or have patched. So why update it and not actually add stuff? Just to move up the date and make you guys look better when NOTHING is being done? It was the 27th of September if I remember correctly last time it was updated and now you guys do it after nearly two weeks with nada. It's a slap in the face to the small player count you have left.

Almost a Week Since the Community-Raised Issues Were Updated

Hey there,

We know you are frustrated, but we assure you that all your concerns have been passed along and the team is working on them. You aren't being ignored, but things take time to figure out and get fixed.

If we haven't updated anything is because we have no information to share further. However, the thread you're referring to will get updated today.

Thank you for your patience and sorry for any inconvenience.

@GrumpsMcDumps the problem is that the beta is nothing more than a gimmick to show the game... what we say there doesn't matter to them, the opinion of the Esports or YouTubers kids counts more... just look at the tire flattening at the beginning which was removed due to an Esports complaint otherwise they couldn't push as they should... I repeat and I underline the more difficult you make certain things the more the occasional player or not wants to overcome them by playing for hours and hours... the easier you make them the more someone abandons the game after 100 hours

@EA_GroguetThank you. Although we have been frustrated with the huge issues being reported. What I think is of absolute primary importance now is that they are fully resolved.

Although we have become inpatient, I think actioning and completely fixing the problems is required.

There is so much to fix, I for one completely understand it will take time. But again it has to be fixed next time around.

I do believe there is a fantastic game underneath the current mess we have all paid good money for.

I remain hopeful that in the not too distant future we will have a great game to fully enjoy again.
Thank you for replying to this post.

@EA_Groguet when you updated the thread, under "Awaiting Patch" you forgot to include a note about rolling back the gamepad changes introduced in the previous patch.

@TheRagebeard Are they going to roll it back to 1.6? Sorry, not sure how to interpret your reply. I live in hope.

@IanM282 Sorry, I don't know what their plans are. That was a bit of a jab at them on my part since they didn't make any mention of either rolling the changes back or otherwise trying to address the issue in the next patch.
I worded it that way trying to give them a nice segway to come back and say Oops, your right, we did forget to add that (even if they didn't actually forget in the first place...) but it seems like their still undecided about how to move forward which is a bit baffling since they've had what like 3 or 4 weeks to think it over now...
