Community Manager@IanM282Oh good it wasn't just me noticing that I have very little traction now then, what was the patch note? "Updated gamepad settings to make handling consistent and predictable".
Um who tested your patch, Codies?
Because I got none of that effect, if anything it's worse, I ran my setup on Austria, I can only do 1:05.825, v1.6 I could do 1:05.2s and have time left on the table, here I have no idea how to gain any more traction therefore time, short shifting just bogs it down (I know it dulls the revs, but it feels like I'm stood-still). Canada barely can do 1:11.9 on my setup that I went a second faster (1:10.9) on v1.6, why? Because the traction was so much better, now I can't get out turns with any traction even though every gameplay video has magic traction, Bahrain, short shifting out of turn 2, no effect wheelspin with a straight wheel with 10-25% throttle, result 1:30.213, I sweated to get more time, but I could never improve.
I don't get it, I turned up the trigger function to Strong, it has minimal effect from Medium, I look at times posted on the leader boards and I'm disheartened to see players running TC Full indicated by all three green icons going so much faster than I could. I can't be bothered anymore, I tried different calibration settings then went back to ScarDuck14's settings again so it wasn't that either. So very angry and frustrated with this dynamic handling model they have, it just doesn't feel good at all, I'd rather play F1 2020 or 2021 than this, F1 2023 wasn't bad either to be fair, but this one, hmm losing my patience with this game very quick, almost as fast as F1 22
@Rapheal629Personally me and some others dont feel any worse with this Patch. Perhaps sharing your controller settings and car setups you use can shed some light from others too on you?
Also not all times near the top of the leaderboards with all assists on have to be legit
People keep mentioning the handling is worst with a pad, but what about with a wheel? Has it improved at all?
