Patch 1.14 Hotfix Brake changes?
As requested in the other thread, I've created this one to find out if anyone else is noticing any changes to their braking performance after the Patch 1.14 Hotfix update on Thursday.
From my experience, I installed the patch on Xbox Series X, I use the gamepad and over time I'd finally got my settings just right to get the car as stable and responsive as possible.
I'm not the fastest, but I'm very consistent and can put in about 15 TT laps within a tenth or 2 of each other....
I noticed in TT mode using my telemetry racing line that I was overshooting corners after braking in the same spots. Brake Pressure was on 100% but felt like it was on 90%. I had so much understeer and struggled to get the car slowed to hit the apex. Trail-braking felt spongey and numb with almost no vibration through the pad. I tried a couple of Ranked races and a Grand Prix and was having to brake around 20m earlier than usual.
I will try to record some footage and share my setup and pad settings tomorrow morning.
It was honestly so noticeable that I'm certain it's not a placebo effect here.
Can anyone else share info and feedback? Please try to keep it constructive and upload some clips where possible. Don't just say you're having issues to bash the game! Credit where it's due we got a quick fix for 1.14, but we've also had unexpected knock on effects from patches too!
