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.

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?
