@jenny_a_m FEEDBACK ON THE PATCH (after testing it):So, to those wondering how it works..- CHINA can be added to the calendar between Australia & Imola:- PORTUGAL can be added to the calendar between Mexico & Brazil:This is how it works for seasons of 10 or 16 races.I don't know how it works for seasons with 22 races, but I can only assume all you need to do is to replace TWO of the original 22 races by China and Portugal.It's great to have them in the calendar from Season 2 onwards - thanks to the devs for that - HOWEVER.. it would be great to be able to insert them anywhere in the calendar in the place of any of the tracks we are replacing - for example.. on a 22 races season, let's say I take Baku and Zandvoort out.. then I could put China or Portugal in Baku's place and the remaining track in Zandvoort's place - etc, etc, etc..I think it would be cool if we could 'build' our calendar EXACTLY as we can do when we create an online lobby ourselves - using that same screen and 'mechanics' to add tracks (in any order we want) - just a suggestion.....About the tyres selection, here's how it works if you click on the TYRES ALLOCATION option BEFORE going into the Race Weekend:Now we have 3 options to choose: SOFTER, BALANCED and HARDER - I believe the BALANCED one is the previous (and only) default option and the other two are as it follows:BALANCED (original/default):SOFTER:HARDER:In all options, you still have 8 sets of Softs, 3 sets of Mediums and 2 sets of Hards, but they're distributed differently throughout the sessions.I still need to test them all and get to know exactly how they work for the actual race, depending on the compounds you use during all the previous sessions (FPs and Qs) and also what compounds (and how many sets of each) you have available to you during the actual race, both when you go through all of the previous sessions and also when you just skip everything and go straight to the race - but all in all, I think having these 3 options really already helps a lot, depending on the intended race pit stop strategy the players want to use.BUT, it's also good to check and see if everything is actually working properly, since there are people talking about lots of cars getting DNFed for 'not using different compounds', even when they actually did it - maybe a glitch that would require a patch hotfix (what a surprise, am I right?!..)...I did these tests on an 'old' save (MyTeam, end of season 5 and beginning of season 6) and it all seemed to work just fine - we already noticed that some 'old saves' could have issues after some of the latest patches, but fresh new saves used to work perfectly fine, so.. if you guys can, simply begin a fresh new career just to make sure no glitches would happen - but I also ask the devs to do all they can to NOT 'force' the drivers to drop their old saves and restart their careers from scratch on each new patch - this kinda sucks, come on.....On a negative note, I was hoping that the new patch would help to solve a problem that's been happening to me and some other players on Steam as well for about 2 or 3 weeks now, but.. the problem is still there:I just can't join any cross play lobbies and I keep getting the error message below - if I turn cross play off, I can join Steam only lobbies just fine:I play the game on a PC, through Steam and I have the Champions Edition version of it (not that it matters, but just to let you guys know).....All in all, it was a good patch and I hope you guys can keep trying to make this game better and better - it's still far from perfect, but it still has a LOT of potential and it CAN be improved before we need to wait for F1 23..Quick ad:I stream my F1 22 gameplays on Twitch, almost daily (MyTeam during the week days and Open Lobbies on the weekends - at least before I was getting the damn PM7 error above) - small streamer trying to grow - any support is more than welcome:Twitch.tv/SexyBrigadeiro Cheers, everyone!

Portimao and Shanghai circuits are now available in Season 2 and beyond in Career modes.Added an option to allow the player more flexibility in tyre selection per session during a race weekendYES!!!

EA adding a patch that breaks something else or the added features don't work properly? Huh. Would have never guessed. 🤷♂️

My MyTeam career save is an 'old' save - it's actually from the very first day, when the Champions Edition was released on PC - I guess it was on june 28th, right?

I'm saying this, because we already know that SOME of the patches and new things that were introduced to the game after its release do NOT work properly on the 'old' saves (saves that were created before those specific patches) and then things will only work properly for fresh new saves (created after each patch), so..

I don't know (yet) if the tyres allocation 'problem' is happening to me (and to other people) because our saves already existed before the last patch (1.15) and then MAYBE the saves created AFTER this patch would give the players the option to pick different tyre allocations for each race - can somebody confirm that by creating a new career save?

(I honestly don't have the time to do it right now - sorry)

BUT..

IF this is what's happening, I really hope that the devs do their best to ensure the players don't need to begin a fresh new career after each patch, just so things can work properly.. - patches are supposed to fix things and make them work properly, without forcing everyone to restart everything, right?

As I said before.. my career save dates back to the very first day of launch and I'm still only halfway through the entire 10 seasons career - I'm sorry, but I (still) have a life, work, etc and can't play this game all day, every day - so IF I had to restart a new career for every new patch, I would be playing season 1 only, over and over again and that obviously sucks..

Anyway.. I hope the new patches don't screw up the old(er) saves and that they can work just fine - and if the tyres allocation problem we're having right now is just a glitch, I hope it gets fixed ASAP as well..

Thanks for this, @SexyBrigadeiro, this is with the dev team - I'll let you know if there are any questions!

To all those who are getting the DSQs, do you continue experiencing them after the first one you have?

@SexyBrigadeiro i have just started a new season. Can see that I could select tyre allocation in Rcae weekend 1. Will report back shortly if locked for race weekend 2 👍🏽

@Monzstar83 You're likely to discover that it's locked out for the 2022 F1 regulations which was why I added my own report on it, but I haven't had the DSQ bug they introduced though, hopefully I don't get that bug

Hi all,
I started a new save after the patch 1.15 and after 3 100% races I haven't experienced this DSQ'd issue.
On the other hand I noticed that:
1. as @SexyBrigadeiro and many other have said, once you pick a tyre allocation you're locked in it. In my case, the softer one.
2. the practice programs available were the same for the 3 races so far: race practice, fuel consumption and tyre management.
Cheers,
Dan

@dancrodrigues Thanks, Dan! So at least now we know for sure that the tyres allocation can be selected ONLY on the 1st race of the season and also that we get locked with our choice for the rest of the season - I honestly think this needs to be changed/fixed and we should be able to select our tyres allocation for each race of the season..

Ok deleted all traces off game. Rebuilt database. Installed new SSD. Downloaded and reinstalled game to new SSD. Started game in Performance mode. Once I played around and set everything up. Started new my team career. Raced first 3 races at 50% on The bounce. Happy to say Everything ran like a dream.
Except Tyre selection being locked after Bahrain. Tried everything to see if I could unlock it. Through Tyre selection in the vehicle. Everyday leading up to next race. And on the proceed to weekend and before FP1. Also restartiing the game. Tried every combination off race length and qualifying options. But had no joy. Even tried changing the tyre options in settings but that did nothing.

So I’m pretty much sure it’s locked after first race.

But my teamers and career guys…. Need your help testing something. Telemetry guys you’ll love it. I will be posting a new thread shortly explaining all
