Community ManagerHey everyone,
The newest patch addressing some of the hot issues will be available on all platforms from Monday, June 24 at 10am UTC. You can find out what's in this patch in this thread HERE.
Need some help? Something in the patch not working the way it should? Tell us in this thread.
Agree that there is no real improvement on the ai drs/ ers trains. Perhaps suggesting it isn't really a ers issue.
I think it is a combination of 3 things.
Drs being slightly too powerful
Dirty air being almost non existent.
The teams being too evenly matched on race pace. The same clumps of teams are in drs trains every race.. mclaren/ merc/ ferrari... alpine / rb.. Williams/ stake / haas... need more variance in race pace.. more strategy.. maybe more tyre wear to stop these races just falling into 3 drs trains and big gaps in between where you have massively boring races.

I do think the drs Is overpowered. It's too easy to sit behind the AI and rely on DRS alone. It also makes it extremely difficult to break away.
For the next patch, please fix or remove "In The Zone" trophy thanks!! It's the worst trophy I've ever seen in my entire 14 years of collecting PS trophies.
An observation I've also made with the AI and depending on your AI difficulty setting, it is hard to break away from them. This was never the case in F123 which to this day had the best AI of any.
I can break DRS occasionally early on, but it's like the AI are automatically programmed to send a driver out of the pack to hunt you down and reel you back in. Then the rest of the front pack follow.
I don't mind this if it's realistic. But if I'm driving in a top team with fast race pace, despite either using up battery or not they always seem to reel you back in. Unless it's set on an easy difficulty.
I'll say it again, the AI straight line speed on some tracks is so unrealistic and enjoyment sapping. Just as it was in F122.
I honestly do think there is huge potential in F124, I really do. There are a lot of things I like over F123.
Unfortunately until the awful AI issues are fixed it's a considerable departure from F123.
Needs much more work.
@EA_Groguet No hubo mucha mejora ya que siguen habiendo los trenes de DRS y ademas esta raro lo del ERS ya que en una carrera que tuve era la ultima vuelta y la IA tenia bateria para usarla en la recta en la salida de la curva 13 para la recta con drs y la IA no activa bateria para defenderse y pone el modo ahorro de bateria y se dejo pasar, esto le suma un punto para nada realista ya que en el anterior f1 23 la IA en ultima vuelta y si se trataba de defender usaba la bateria. Espero lo arreglen ya que esto arruina mucho la experiencia del modo carrera.

I can't prove it but the highlights (View Highlights) after a career race got terrible picture quality on the Xbox Series S. It was much better before the update.
- 2nd issue:
Ok, now FORCEFEEDBACK and TRUEFORCE are working as they were supposed to for Logitech G923.
However... the game "freezes" when there are rapid changes in direction/fast corners - seems like FPS drops - it's annoying. It's something between freezing and droping frames, not sure how to explain it.
If I change Logitech Trueforce Intensity from 100 to 0 then the problem stops and the game is perfectly smooth again.
If I change back Logitech Trueforce Intensity from 0 to 100 the problem is there again.
As a reference. This also happened in ACC last year and was fixed with a supposed optimization.
Thank you.
It may be helpful if you stated what platform you are playing on.

The biggest problem for me is that if I can't break away from the AI, and the AI can't break away from me, my strategy is basically to sit in second place in the group and wait until the last lap, then use all my ERS to overtake.
If I do overtake earlier, I just end up having a big group behind me with no way to pull away. The only good news is that the AI is useless at overtaking, but then it makes it boring..
