Tire Smoke under Braking - impossible to see

@EA_Vendcera please can this be passed on, there have been a few threads on it. It's a game breaking bug that affects league racing, online racing, etc. It's an unrealistic blast of smoke every time ...

Hi @EA_Vendcera, any news on this?

I would say it should have top priority, a lot of corners are impossible now when racing, visibility is close to 0 sometimes.

It also affects replays, there is a very pixelated and low quality cloud of smoke on hard braking corners and when the race starts, looks embarrassing.

Thanks!

Hey @CriticalDamage67,

yes, I totally understand. It's still on the team's radar but for the moment I don't have any further information to share of when we can expect a fix for it to roll out.

This needs to be top priority, it affected my last two races getting wing damage because I cannot see a foot in front of me with all this unrealistic smoke.

  Just had a league race on Monza, it’s absolutely impossible to see T4-5.. there is genuinely a cloud of pixelated smoke appearing in front you covering the whole track, you have no idea where you are before and during the corner.. I’m on PS5 and can’t disable the smoke, another race track that is impossible to race on, something needs to be done about this asap please

    Hi, is this still being investigated at least? It’s been more than 2 patches and no changes.. some tracks are still unplayable online on console.. I see “community-raised issues” is no longer updated apart from patch releases, so what is going on? Why is there no communication at all?
