So where does this leave us and where do we go from here? After this update we are all yet again in limbo.
The only way to fix this problem is to increase the rear end traction on the players car.
Another adjustment and patch means waiting for another 4 months? It's so incredibly disappointing.
To release the game in such a poor state and then have to wait 4 months for a fix that hasn't worked is unacceptable.
I don’t know there is anywhere to go from here. If after 4 months they have no clue, I doubt they will in 8 months. The patch didn’t move the needle for me. Car feels worse in the full wet even with full TC and at Silverstone in the dry I saw the same acceleration difference out of 3rd gear.
It feels like I get rain in qualy or race 20% of the time. So they gave us (or at least people who play like me) 80% of a game. 4 months into a 12 month cycle means they owe 5% of the price paid. 8 months they owe 10%. Pretty sure we won’t see that added to our loyalty bonus off next year’s game.
If that game does not include features like the ability to turn off weather in career modes, ability to restart a session and change difficulty or the ability to change difficulty mid session I don’t know how many of us will trust them with our money.
I had high hopes this patch would get us somewhere even if it was not 100%. In my opinion it did nothing, which begs the question around the people who tested it or for whom it did work: are they elite players, are they Max Verstappen, are they using cheats or mods? Clearly the sub average schlep like me got no benefit. And since I am using full TC and brake assist and have the racing line on I am basically an AI car. How is it I am on pace dry but completely off the pace as soon as the DRS is disabled?
Agreed, whoever is testing the game internally hasn't got a clue, clearly.
Silverstone in the dry is actually now worse than before the patch. They are so much faster it's ridiculous!
Given the absolute mess they've made of the tyre wear on a pad, what chance do pad players like myself have at Silverstone. The outside left is obliterated after 7-8 laps and the AI just reels you back in.
Nothing has changed in this patch that offers anything significant enough to enjoy the game.
I've been waiting for 4 months to start a 2 player career mode and I still can't now.
£90 again and the game is completely unplayable. It's in a mess! Never again will I pre-order.
