Patch 1.15 hot fix feedback
Installed the 500mb update and playing some ranked multiplayer and my force feedback under breaking feels very weak and the car feels like it’s almost impossible to lock the brakes. It’s feeling very...

@xSWEDEx You did great Swede!! Looking forward to Sunday!!
I think a few others were caught out by the strange lack of grip under braking. I'd love to know wether anything was changed in the car's handling model to reduce lock up's.
I did notice that whilst we didn't see the thick black smoke, we did still have excessive white smoke like pre-patch 1.14....
Also noticed the new audio for Safety Car announcement like how the real drivers will hear a Race Director channel in their ears.
Fair do's Codemasters, that's a nice new feature!

Community ManagerHey there,
The patch 1.15 was a hotfix that only addressed the smoke issue. This was only a visual change so the same lock up will now produce less smoke. Braking was not changed.

- @EA_Groguet Hey mate, thanks for the update, the smoke now is lower. But one note for you, the braking is now completely different, I think that we are not stupid so please…I am not saying that now is bad, but is different how the cars brake, how you can attack the apex of different corners and unfortunately there is one thing that is bad:
Force feedback is extremely downgraded after the patch, especially during the braking move, like if you wheel becomes so light, you know.- EA_Groguet
Hey @AlessandroMio11
In this case, could we create a new thread to talk about braking and try to gather as much information as possible to give to the team?
@SDGMatt asked if there was something related to braking on 1.15 and I just came to confirm there is nothing about braking on the hotfix.
So, in this case, the best thing would be creating a new thread about braking, giving as many details and information as possible and then I can escalate that so the team can investigate in case there's any issue.

Genuinely curious…is this game tested before the release or it became a common practice to use gamers as QAs?
