@EA_Groguet Thank you, but I've reported quite a few bugs now, with video evidence, but they never seem to make it into the "Investigating" section, so I'm not hopeful.... This is a pretty big bug as it ruins the start of every race and you either risk a drive through penalty, or a 10 sec for someone slamming into the back of you.
We are on Round 4 of our league racing season, and this has happened to me in almost every race.

@SDGMatt That something is not in the Community Raised issues thread doesn't mean that is not being investigated.

That is said on the same thread: "This is not an exhaustive list of everything the development team are working on. Just because an issue is not listed above does not necessarily mean it's been ignored."

@EA_GroguetI have reported around 4 or 5 bugs and haven't got any answers from you guys. Do you understand that if we invest our free time in doing your work easier it gets frustating when you ignore us? Maybe you should be more active on your own forums and AT LEAST answer people when they report a bug. We don't get paid for reporting bugs, that is YOUR work. And we are paying 90 euros for this year's game, so your product shouldn't even be in this sittuation when we are 3 months after release and still looking like a Beta version.

I'm sorry if this sound harsh, but it is the reality, and you only have to look at player numbers of how many people are playing the game compared to previous years. We want a better game and we care enough to make a bug report here instead of going to play something else, so the least you can do is be transparent, specify what you are currently solving, what problems are you aware of, and answering the player base when anyone reports a bug and giving an explanation to why you are not going to resolve the bug if you are not going to do it, but not ignoring us and making us do the same exact report from time to time in hopes that some report doesn't get ignored by you.

Again, sorry if this is not much related to the topic or a bit harsh, but I think we are reaching a point where these things need to be said. And I know it is not your fault, but someone of upper management, so you can tell them this is what people think, and that we want solutions and a change in direction.

5 examples of this STILL happening!! I keep asking for an update and get nothing.
No acknowledgement or feedback. No request for more info...
If nobody is asking me about it, that tells me it's being ignored and it's not being looked into...
It's not listed as "Investigating" on the Community Raised Issues page....
This is not a one off occasion, it's happening very regularly!
You can see in my clips that I have no starting lights. I cannot see the actual starting lights either. So I have to react to other cars.
You can see that I am losing multiple places off the line, every time. You can also see other drivers with late reactions who told me they had no starting lights either. Some even get DT's because they've tried to go when they think there would be lights out....
It's spoiling the game experience for me and a lot of players in my league and I've really had enough of it.
I WILL NOT BUY F1 25 if things like this are not fixed. I will not spend another £89.99 on a broken lacklustre game.
Our league has dropped from 92 members to 22 on this game, and all who leave are long term drivers for us who are simply not enjoying F1 24.... We worked so hard over the last 10 years to build our league and community, and this game has destroyed it. So you have to understand player frustration...
This is occurring in both 25% and 50% online races for my league. I race with the same people every week. We have tried multiple hosts to see if it was linked to the "host advantage" bug, but it still happens. This is the latest update 1.8 too. For 25% races we run 2x25% with reverse grid. Sometimes I get start lights for one race and not the other. Same lobby. No settings changed. I use the standard default settings for the HUD.
Please can this be acknowledged and can I get a response!

    EA? Codies?
    Not even a “thanks, we’ll pass this on to the devs”
