Community Manager@EA_VendceraIf DRS and Slipstream are just reduced in the patch then that was just wasted time, it shouldnt change much with how wrong the AI behaves - unless the AI itself was fixed and wont magically drive a different car once in the slipstream..
All that was effectively done in that regard now was to make the game even less realistic.. Maybe one should have just taken the * and retrained the AI with proper dirty air so that the game gets more realistic instead of more arcady, it will still not fix online qualifying where you just seek the slipstream..
Of course there might be more detail to it but just as written it wont fix it.
@roberto9663as i said above, its not the right solution to nerf DRS and slipstream, thats just the wrong way to approach it when the downsides like engine and tyre temperatures and downforce loss in dirty air are ridiculously too little in the game while DRS and slipstream where the most realistic they ever were
@atfmarkoCant connect either for the past half hour or so
@1_Elipsis_1 You really cant make this statement, certain physics are broken like when and how the grip breaks, not the overall dynamic and the game should always be quicker than real life, even in iracing the W12 which is most likely the closest representation of an F1 car to date can be over a second quicker than real life was, so many factors that allow a virtual version to edge some more time out but yes there have been some valid and needed nerfs to pace previously
Community ManagerHey there,
This morning there was an Online Services Maintenance. You should be able to connect now. Are you still having problems to connect?
