    To be fair @Radoko34  it's actually quite an important topic that needs to be highlighted. I'm surprised that you're not all over it as it relates to the developers ignoring a huge problem with the game that is allegedly even impacting on eSports, which is the pinnacle of competitive play in the game and also carries a hefty financial prize to the winning team and player

    As this alleged cheating has been going on for months and with the likes of Jarno Opmeer (and "half the grid" in his words) having to keep quiet about it, Codemasters and EA haven't done anything to fix it for the eSports build. That's a bad look if there are no integrity checks on the build or even anti-cheat mechanisms. All of this alleged anyway but it doesn't explain why they refuse to add these measures for normal players who are having their every day experience ruined by cheaters.

    Maybe this should be added to the F1 2024 wishlist? 🤔

    Anyway, if you're interested in the problem, I loathe to recommend but you can watch Limitless' last two videos on it.

Ok I’ll bite because I’m bored 

Right now there’s a huge controversy surrounding a E-Sports driver.   That matters to the community.   

The rest of the E-Sports racers cannot comment on it.  

Jarno edits his videos to reduces the length of them by cutting out boring parts off the race.   There was no reason to leave those comments in.   By leaving them in is typical passive aggressive behaviour

    @TotosHeadphones 

    Oh right! 😅

    Sorry, I didn’t quite realise it was to do with anti-cheating. 
    Hence, I’m all for this, as I agree with you and @ScarDuck14, that it’s absolutely something that needs to be resolved. 

    Besides, what I originally said wasn’t at all aimed to be derogatory in any way, it was more that I was unsure I what the purpose of the OP was. 👍

    And yes, for sure it’ll be something to add to the 2024 wish-list.

    Thanks @TotosHeadphones - super helpful as always! 😇


    P.S. Did you ever get repaired after Toto slammed you down on the desk in Saudi’s Arabia? I hope it didn’t hurt too much… 😆

      @Radoko34Maybe my comment was a bit sarky also, so I too must apologise.

      I think all in all, we're all trying to get the game in a good place and have a good, passionate community that works together. It sometimes feels on this board that we're unnecessarily rounding on each other for for various reasons. We all may not agree with stuff or things get misconstrued but we all need to be civil. A divided community will not get our wishes for the game achieved, or even looked at.

      I liked what Toto did to me 😈 😂 In all seriousness, if there's more instances of headphone smashing this year then we know that the Championship is interesting, unlike last year's complete domination. Fingers crossed...
