After installing the newest update whenever I launch F1 24 the video starts to tear. I have contacted 3 EA support members and they were unable to find a fix to this problem. I have reinstalled the game, verified the game files, changed in game settings and nothing is able to fix this. This issue doesn't appear in any other games and I have the latest version of drivers installed.

It's a bug introduced with the new patch that was not tested

This is the situation at the moment. Honestly it ended up the opposite way compared to the patch notes they released. Now is even worse, I’d say impossible, to follow cars and see the corners.

All these new smoke issues that have been introduced since the patch was released that was supposed to fix them clearly shows that absolutely nobody at all at EA has even bothered to test it!

It's actually getting worse, which is borderline impossible. 

The best thing you can do EA going forward is to hire someone to actually test the game and new patch releases. I'd highly recommend you focus on that rather than live season whatever it is garbage, containing beyond useless items to win!

Congratulations on yet another patch full of useless, unnecessary stuff! Not to mention that none of the bugs in the game were fixed! You’re ridiculous—every single person working on this game! I just closed and deleted it; there’s no other game as unstable as this garbage! The smoke is ridiculous—what was even changed about it? Nothing! It looks like someone is burning oil or rubber on the track! Micro-lags, FPS drops, and tons of lag have appeared, while nothing like this happened before, and I’m running it on a high-end rig (i7 13700KF, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, 64 GB RAM)! How on earth did you think this was okay? Did anyone even test this horror? Shame on you, and don’t come with your usual BS that everything’s fine... What a joke! I hope you lose the rights as soon as possible and that you’re never allowed near Formula 1 ever again! If I ever put out work like this, I wouldn’t accept a single cent as payment—it’s truly disgraceful!

This is not the first patch where an attempt to fix a problem has had the complete OPPOSITE effect on what it was trying to resolve. 

How does that happen? 
I’m genuinely curious as to what the process is for signing off the work before a patch goes live? 
So many of these issues are so obvious to anyone loading up the game and driving 1 lap. No wonder people think that none of it was playtested…. 

I don’t think a single player was bothered about fake hotel names driving round Las Vegas. 
It feels like all the major gameplay problems have been ignored and they focussed on the texture of lampposts instead… That is beyond frustrating!

I recently had a reply on the EAF1game instagram when I asked why we can’t get the current F2 season at launch, and the reply was along the lines of limited time and resources…. 
So why are we adding shine to flagpoles on top of grandstands instead of creating Helmet designs that players have flooded this place asking for? 

@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.
