Re: Patch 1.7 ruined handling for controller players
@roberto9663 Here's my rundown of my tests and yes I logged my best times on v1.6 to v1.7 before the leader boards were wiped
Austria:
v1.6 1:05.102
v1.7 1:05.863 (Can go no faster, I have no traction out of turn 1 even though my wheel's straight, it just drifts in 4th gear at half throttle, used to be planted towards the 2nd sector split, now I lose the car all of a sudden, can no longer gain in the final two corners despite all the guides telling me I can, did 36 laps in TT and that is the best I could come up with)
Bahrain:
v1.6 1:29.539
v1.7 1:30.158 (turn 2 no traction, can't even short-shift because it throws the car's throttle curve too much, lose so much time, turns 5 and 6 needs a slight lift or I'm round, traction out of turn 10 is atrocious, rest is fine, but I can't gain anymore).
Canada:
v1.6 1:10.933
v1.7 1:11.982 (I don't know what to think on this one, I tried to improve, but turn 2, the fast chicane before the first sector split and the final chicane which I nailed for the 1:10.933 was satisfying, lost 4 tenths alone on the final sector to the game's set rival and the person was running TC Full indicated by the green icon on the leader board). In all three cases, I have lost .6 to 1s to v1.6 times and people are still able to go quicker with TC Full over Medium, I put some time into this game, learning best lines etc. but getting nowhere near these TC Full players, pretty frustrated to be honest, I turned the game off otherwise I think I'd have needed a new controller. I was more consistent on F1 2020 and 2021 than this game and the patch notes had the audacity to outline that 'it's more consistent and predictable', nah it's not, not by a long shot.
