EA Staff (Retired)Has this patch improved the main problem of the AI getting a speed boost on corner exit? as they are too fast in GP mode or Online AI
Merc engine turbo during deceleration is now AWFUL for tinnitus users. Is this really more realistic?
@Ileleeeyou should visit social media or Reddit etc as this problem is the biggest complaint of the game the AI torque out of the corner is ridiculous. Even Jarno is complaining about it.To counter it you have to turn the AI difficulty down which means they are too slow on entry to the corner and easy to pass hence the complaints of 'passive' AI
Well that complaint still exists and the other of were now three months into the game and still cannot select more than 1 medium tyre in a race
@jenny_a_m
First of all, thanks for the patch and for trying to make the game better!
I still need to actually test the patch and I'll come back with a proper feedback after a few days, BUT.. there are some things I would already like to talk about:
- China/Shanghai International Circuit has been added to Time Trial, Grand Prix, and Multiplayer modes
Sorry, but I can't be happy about this (or any other new track) unless we can add them to the career modes from Season 2 onward..
- Ferrari Special Edition liveries now added in-game for a limited time
Cool, but it's a shame it's only for a limited time - it would be better if it was permanent and the players could choose which one they want to use..
- Improved AI racecraft logic and revised levels of aggression when attempting overtakes
I'm looking forward to test this and I hope they can keep their 'aggression', but without doing a bunch of stupid stuff, crashing into the players, ignoring that we're there, etc..
- Improved AI awareness and racecraft between Turn 9 and pit lane entry at Austria
This is good, but that pit entry is dangerous even in real life - a pitting player has to take the racing line at a pretty slow speed.. Don't understand why they did it like that - not wise IMO..
- Fixed previously incorrect penalty logic on pitlane entry at France/Paul Ricard
Good to read this - I kept getting a penalty for track limits going to the pits and never understood why..
- Flattened an incorrect bump in the track surface at Turn 3 at Azerbaijan/Baku
Good - I always had to avoid that little bump and had to use lots of Flashbacks because I would hit it and my car wouldn't brake properly for T3..
- Fixed an issue where, in some instances, host migration when loading into a cross-play social lobby can lead to split lobbies
Good. But the worst thing about the online lobbies is still the loading time between sessions (in general) and also those 'drivers' who remain standing still on the grid and after the race the entire lobby has to wait for 3 mins until we can move on, because those drivers will never cross the finish line (they seem to be 'bots' and 'ghosts' of players who already left the lobby) - and, for now, the only 'workaround' is by convincing most of the other players to vote to kick those 'ghosts'..
- Fixed an issue where rev lights were not working on Logitech wheelbases
It's a minor thing and although I have a G29 myself, I wouldn't bother much about it, BUT.. since you guys are saying this was finally fixed for several patches now, I hope this time you actually got it right, although I already read some comments about the rev lights still not working and people who lost their FFB and/or their wheel configs in the game - hope it's not my case..
- Fixed an issue where telemetry information was missing for race strategy and free practice sessions
I made a post about this issue, with pics and stuff, so.. good to know it got fixed!
- General Stability Improvements
Maybe this is a bunch of technical stuff, but it would be cool to get a list about these things too..
- Various minor fixes
Once again.. Maybe this is a bunch of technical stuff, but it would be cool to get a list about these things too..
...
All in all.. Here's hoping the game is and will keep getting better and better!
Cheers, guys!
