Smoke on track

my god what a bad patch

@EA_GroguetThose pictures linked above doesn't look good at all. Can this be improved or resolved please? I've also read reports that the tyre smoke can now follow you around the track after the new patch. Definitely needs looking at.

Damn, I think the team just considers the compiler building the code successfully as tested and ships it. What other explanation can be there for fix 1 bug, create 3 more.

Hey there,

Thank you for tagging me. As you said, that looks quite odd. I have escalated that to the game team for further investigation.

Just tried my first race since 1.14 installed

not only am I seeing an increase in the tyre smoke, I’m also having MASSIVE frame rate drops right on the apex when following a couple of cars blindly through it…. Not impressed

as i already reported on the official thread here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/F1-24-Patch-1-14-Discussion-Thread/td-p/14250523/page/3

the smoke problem is really huge, it happen not only when you lock your tire but in every corner, in every braking and in every corner exit. Sometime the smoke is generated with a lot of delay, and in general its impossible to see the apex point right now

Example of 2 cars 2 seconds ahead of me (and 1 of them was a CPU):

Hey there,

The team keeps investigating this. Can you please share a Dxdiag with us and a settings capture from the video settings menu?

Thank you!

Please hotfix this now, this smoke bug is really bad. Some of us are actually trying to play the game but you are making it really hard for us.
