EA Staff (Retired)Well at least the flashback bug was fixed. Surprised it took 9 patches since they created the bug the last 2 years with early patches and later fixed it. Same thing again this year, one of the patches created the issue again, and here they are fixing it again. Pretty incredible really. Got to be frustrating to be a programmer working with the mix mash of copy/pasted coding each year that constantly keeps bringing back old bugs needing to be patched again year after year like this one.
Other than that nothing else in this patch really mattered to me. Still waiting for the AI to not be super human down the straights, or on the last few laps of a race. The rubber banding AI they've implemented is nothing short of game breaking to be honest. Especially when you see the lap times, and gaps to the cars behind you. With 5 to go I have a 10 second lead, then it's several seconds back to each driver in the order. With 3 to go it's suddenly a 3 second gap from me to 2nd, a 1-2 second gap from 2nd to third, but a 16 second gap from 3rd to 4th. What happened? Other than the AI becoming super human to challenge me suddenly . It's ridiculous. Scrap this nonsense.
@petro1319
What difficulty setting are you playing on?
Was it the early MyTeam car?
Were the cars around you close to you in terms of R&D progression?
Was your tire (and what tire) already at around 40% wear during those last 5 laps?
What about your fuel load at that point? Also, the temp?
How much ERS was left?
Engine wear? Were some of them around 50% wear at that point?
@petro1319Oh you are going though what I am - I just finished a 100 percenter where I spent 2 hours prac and qual setting the car up - qual P5 - in the race - oh man you know what happened - anyway the team decided to change my front wing (no damage) and failed in the stop - needless to say I was second last and had Latifi(who qual'd last) racing up to me like I was standing still passing me down the drs straights which then i would quite easily pass him back under brakes - he would then be 1.5 seconds behind and in two corners be back on my tail harassing me
the game is BROKEN
