Dear Community,I am relatively new here, so I am learning my way. In December 2023 I have purchased F1 2023 and was very happy with it. I was my first F1 game and I spent time playing it. I have preordered F1 2024 as I am huge fan of the sport and was happy to play the game. This game came with a very different handling. Fine, I understand. I have adapted and started building my laptimes. Then was the release 1.3 and all the records were zeroed in and gone. I had to start it all again. I played the game yesterday after a few weeks break and I think I had V 1.6 installed. My lap times were different, I saw that with the same set up the car is slower on the straight at Monza vs version 1.3. Today I have launched the game and see that I am not even on the leader board. No lap times at all. Everything is gone again. I see that I have V 1.7 now installed. Did it erase everything AGAIN? Do I need to start it all again? I see that my experience is 1 vs what it was yesterday (16 I think). What is going on? Anyone's aware?THANKS:-)

It’s commendable that they’ve tried to overhaul the handling, and in theory the dynamic handling with suspension and virtual wind tunnel should have been such a great change!! If it worked as intended it could have been revolutionary….We shouldn’t slam them for trying to improve the game; but the problem is a complete lack of testing, care and attention to detail. I took part in the closed beta tests before launch and the feedback I saw from the community was so varied. Some liked it, some didn’t. Some feedback was useful and some was pointless….But the loudest voices were of people saying “I’ve played this game for 10 minutes now and I’ve had enough….” Well, how much have you really ‘tested’ the game in 10 minutes. I’d bet that most people tried their F1 23 setups and are outraged when they don’t work… You think you should have perfect handling right out of the box? Without the need to work on a setup? You think you can just steal someone else’s setup and expect it to work for you?? But then moan that the games not realistic enough? 😂People treated it as a preview instead of a test… I think there should be a degree of competency required to be a beta tester. Not just the quickest esports guys, but experienced league racers for example: people who have invested a lot of time over the years on these games. Can’t the devs approach the real F1 test and development drivers for a few days of feedback? You don’t necessarily need a Verstappen or Norris to test: they’re time is limited and when they endorse a game like Max does, he’s not going to be overly critical is he!

But why? How many times this is going to happen? Why bother playing it if the leader board is being erased so many times? Maybe EA should just test the game before launching it and then let people play? Are you all ok with this? is this normal?

@LightPilgrim The game does get tested before launch and feedback is taken into account.With the leaderboard resets, they were both due to changes in the car behaviour that meant it would be impossible to beat the times.For example, after the 1.3 update, times were roughly 0.6 to 0.7 seconds slower. Im not sure what the gap is with the latest update though

@LightPilgrim I think there was only 1 reset last year but i don’t usually do much TT so im only guessing

F1 23 had just 1 leaderboard reset after 2 months. F1 24 has already had a couple. It’s frustrating as our league asks drivers to submit TT’s for several tracks so we can allocate them to a tier. But the leaderboards keep getting wiped and typical lap times keep changing. Let’s hope they sort the handling out soon!

Software testing has test points to evaluate, reports on behavior etc. Were people signed up to evaluate specific features and performance and report back?
Doesn’t sound like it.
So having an unstructured open beta test is really just doing the minimum - it IS just a preview that will get opinions, maybe surface some critical issue, and log some issues for later. A wasted opportunity at best
So as done, would not have really made much difference to what was released
Test management is a big effort. The right people need to be found, NDA’d, then issues managed, tracked and reported and ranked. EVERY software development effort compromises the testing schedule when development falls behind. Schedule suffers because scope exceeds resources. Mgmt sets those. But the core game features were not prioritised properly. Result - more shoes anyone?

Yes, they may hopefully restore the “TT history” in RaceNet, like it was in the past, so even if the leaderboard is wiped, it remains available the same somewhere else!

@SDGMatt they will never be able to do anything they hang on the lips of those in Esports who run in a childish way.....I'll just give an example it was beautiful at the beginning of the game you blocked you flattened the tire you had to make 3 stops even in the 50% then the little Esports kids complained now you have tires that are ridiculous....bugmaster mobile game apt names stop nothing to add
