Engine Audio and Tyre Audio/Visuals are inconsistent when Spectating a race

Product: F1 22
Platform:Steam-PC
Summarize your bug Spectator Engine Audio (Possibly the RPM rather than just the audio) and Spectator Wheel Physics are inconsistent in Spectator Mode
What is your 16 digit Report Code? N/A
Which area is the bug/glitch in? Multiplayer
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Did you have cross-play enabled? No
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Watch an online multiplayer race as a spectator. Hoping that since this also plagued the F1 esports round 1 we can see a fix soon, has been in since release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awQ0YfVb0oQ <- Link to ESports round 1 Stutter can be seen in this twitch clip around 8 seconds in. https://www.twitch.tv/mrsonzy/clip/RepleteAthleticLampUncleNox-zyTQ0Nazv5YekS9X?filter=clips&range=7d&sort=time
What happens when the bug occurs? The Engine Audio doesn't sound correct. The car revs will stutter as the RPM increases. Occasionally the RPM will constantly max out when in fact the RPM for the driver you're spectating locally is still in the middle range whilst accelerating. When cars brake it's common to see the cars as locking up in spectator, even though the car is driving normally through the corners locally. This occasionally can appear as the car is sliding through corners with locked tyres all the way through, though this is less common.
What do you expect to see? Engine RPM increases linearly when a spectated car accelerates, with appropriate audio to match. Spectated cars only lock up when the driver locks up locally.

Hoping that since this also plagued the F1 esports round 1 we can see a fix soon, has been in since release.

    This will not be fixed. They simply don't care. They would have fixed it at least for the Esports build, so they won't be embarrassed for a buggy game, but apparently they are not able to fix it.

    Licence should be removed if they are that incompetent.

  • I was watching f1 eSports earlier as it was the first race of the season and I noticed some huge problems that almost make it unwatchable.

    Gear/rev sync(sound problem) 

    Penalties not applied correctly

  • 170k viewers alone on youtube for the first esport event this season. The chat was filled with comments about this. You could even notice that the production team tried to avoid the first person view as much as possible which takes away all the excitement of the intense battles. At this point I almost feel ashamed to share such F1 content to a newcomer of the F1 games since this is one of the first questions you get.

    Sadly this was already a bug in F1 2020 and 2021 so don't expect a fix.

    @PadawanNick The sound issue was there last season too.
    They are on a private build so they could of fixed it and they might of left it in while they dealt with the audio stuttering in the game.

    As far as penalties go I didn't see anything way overboard.
    They have stewards to take care of those.

    The race winner (with no penalties) tumbling down the leaderboard at the finish is a bug I've seen before but embarrassing for the official eSports. The audio issue has been present in previous games too. I'd guess for most players it's not really as issue so I can see it not being a high priority from that perspective but I do find it strange it's not been resolved given it's prominence for eSports and high-profile league racing. Presumably it's not an easy fix.

    On the plus side I'll just say it was a good race to watch 🙂.

    @Ultrasonic_77 I enjoyed it as well, nevertheless it is disappointing that for instance in qualifying, you do not see sector times and delta times, just the total lap time counting up. This takes away a lot of excitement in my opinion

    It looks like it is fixed for Silverstone Esport race today. Is it new build for esports "esports2"? Are you working on it? @EA_rephii @EA_Barry
