EA Staff (Retired)My feedback AFTER testing the patch (playing the Champions Edition, on a PC, through Steam):
- My Logitech G29 led lights are still NOT working at all..
- I had to adjust the tyre pressures (they were too high on my custom car setups) and the car was terrible to drive on those settings - still I'm not sure if changing the 'physics' of the car after we got used to how they were before was a good move..
- All the sound in the game is ok (including my mic's comms with Marc), except for the Audio Victory Calls - they don't work/play in game, neither in the menus (by pressing F2 to listen) - already did a Files Integrity Check and even uninstalled and reinstalled the game from scratch.. - this was ok and working on the first days after the initial release on june 28th (Champions Edition), but it got screwed up after one of the first patches released after the launch..
- The option to edit the OSD elements (moving/placing the huds around) disappeared from the menu on MyTeam for me even before the patch (I was able to adjust the OSD just fine on FP1 at Bahrain, Season 1, but after that, the option was gone and never returned) and it's still missing after the patch - the option IS in the menus for all the other game modes though..
- The AIs are still super overpowered, but I understand they (Codies/EA) didn't do anything about the AIs yet and they also said they are actually working on that (here's hoping for more fair AIs in the future patches and ASAP - playing MyTeam against AIs at 100% right now is still 'impossible' for me)..
- No mouse support in the game menus for PC players - I'll never understand why this is not in the game by default (never even mentioned as a possible future asset)..
Once again I must say: the game is good and fun, but still needs a LOT of adjustments, improvements and fixes - that's 'ok-ish', but at the same time it feels like you guys didn't test the game enough before releasing it (and it was pretty expensive for brazilian standards), so.. I don't want to sound like a bitter j3rk, but I can't help but feel a bit frustrated and even 'cheated' by getting a 'bad product' - hope you understand.. - here's hoping it gets better ASAP in the future.
Cheers, guys!
Where are the sector and lap deltas in races? They have had it in the past 5 games that I've played - now I have no idea how much faster I am per sector and lap in comparison to my fastest lap? The sector colours now work, but if its green, am I 0.1 seconds or a whole second faster in the relevant sector? The Delta in my settings is also on too - could you check this please as it makes 100 percent races really difficult to manage and it also exists in the trailer of the game?
Patch feedback
- FFB on G29 is worse than before with barely any feedback at all. Wheel has no stiffness whatsoever. Car might as well be floating.
- Gone from being faster than team mate by a few tenths to being nearly 2 seconds per lap slower in career mode.
- practice delta is ridiculous. Can finish tenth in second worst car on the grid but miss practice delta by 2 seconds making the whole thing pointless.
- WTF has happened to the handling? It's easier now to drive in the rain.
- AI traction seems even more overpowered and straight line speeds are even worse. I've just lost 8 tenths of a second to car behind on Miami straight just before the tight section before going under the bridge - In the rain so no DRS!
- Has tyre wear changed? Mediums 43% after 7 laps.
- AI still just randomly driving into me all the time spinning me off. I'm yet to see an AI car spin off.
- Not seen the AI lock up on turns since the patch.
Is there any way to delete the patch?
