EA Staff (Retired)No blue flags to alert drivers they are about to be lapped in either one of the career mode games
Allows you to overtake other cars and even the safety car...
Saying NO to driver swaps has NEVER worked.... drivers swaps all the time... it's never been fixed..

I saw blue flags for lapped drivers but they didn't move out of way as quickly as before 1.15. They also don't move out quickly enough when I run quick lap in quali session, they stay on racing line or in middle of track.
It felt like quali in Abu Dhabi last weekend when Vettel had to swing around almost stationary cars in last few corners of his fast lap 😉

@ScarDuck14I may go full jeopardy once Brazil is on in MyTeam, do OSQ, then take whatever tires the game wants me to race on in the sprint, and try hards-softs. If that fails, I'll try hards-mediums in the Merc main event.
Ben Daly, tiametmarduk, dropped a video of his co-op career where he got DSQ'd in Imola. He used the mediums in the sprint, and another set of mediums starting the main race. On the other hand, Dave Gaming (a German streamer) did not get disqualified in Brazil, so I need to look into that. But first it's Mexico City in F1 22, and my new meme career as Andrea Moda Formula in F1 2020.
EDIT: Nevermind. He started the sprint on the extreme wets, so with that alone he dodged a bullet. He unfortunately quit F1 22 career mode after his first race of the new season in China.
@bundesautobahn7 I usually run full quali but in my case, it's OSQ anyway. I really suck at quali and I can count on one hand how many times I improved my first quali lap in each session in whole season 😉 But your point makes sense, it may have its advantages. AI usually improves in 2nd run so it gives me chance to get better grid positions 😉
It will be interesting to see if the OSQ works as a workaround. Hopefully it does as I’m itching to get back into myteam currently stuck at Brazil.
EA Staff (Retired)Hey all,
Firstly, thank you to all of you for sharing the information you have, especially with regards to the tyre allocation issues.
Just to give you an update, we're aiming to get fixes for mass disqualifications, tyre allocation options not being visible in already in-progress careers and being unable to change tyre allocations beyond the first weekend of a season out in the next patch.
@jenny_a_m thank you for update
please also keep us posted on progress and perhaps due date for fix 😉
Is there any logical reason why we were not rolled back to 1.14 early doors when it was evident tyre allocation was completely broken? 1.15 has been a disaster of a patch and needed more time in Q&A(if it even exists), the amount of bugs present in this years iteration feels insane and not even just annoying bugs but gamebreakers.
F1 fans have been treated very poorly this year with both F1 22 and F1 Manager 2022 being bug filled messes, this franchise in particular needs to do much better but I've been thinking that for a long time and here we are facing the same issues year in, year out.
Codemasters/EA have no doubt benefitted greatly from the success of DTS driving up game sales, time to put that back into the game with ideally a new engine, mod support for MyTeam/Career/2 player career/LAN, etc and more customisation options at a minimum.
It's very unfortunate that F1 has not reviewed these games and sought other developers to have a crack at making a Formula 1 racing game as I'd bet my house on someone else with a smidge of passion for F1 doing far more with this great sport we love than what we've been served for the past few years especially.
The current World Champion who is a massive gamer won't touch these games with a 10 foot pole, I think that says it all on the quality of the product and also the desire to make a product he would endorse.
I added some information on an experiment that I'm doing in my Brazil round in both careers in the big thread in the bug reports. Suffice it to say: using the hards in the MyTeam sprint was rather difficult, but not impossible, even if it's a waste for six laps. Oh well, even if this round is in the bin, it was an experiment worth trying considering the patch has yet to drop.
@bundesautobahn7Think the patch is about to drop
