EA Staff (Retired)Hey drivers,
Patch 1.18 is now rolling out across all platforms. You can find out what's in this patch in this thread here
Need some help? Something in patch 1.18 not working the way it should? Tell us in this thread
Steam PC version also states 1.19.
Also, does podium pass get refreshed every month now? It used to be 8 weeks and there are still 8 tabs in VIP challenges.
What, people were earning too many pit coins so they didn't need to purchase them?
@jenny_a_m I’m sorry this is not on.. There are a number of items in the vip podium pass I’ve already unlocked from the previous vip podium pass. If I’m to buy the vip podium pass its asking me to pay for the same thing twice. This happened in the last podium pass but not to this level!!!
vio pass 4 glitch livery. 9 digitalis glove 13 horn badge 14 digitalis suit 19 constellation livery 22 topographic suit 24 for me emote
yes, you're right. one or two items could be forgiven.
But having multiple items re-used just because they thought not many players achieved 20+ level on VIP is a bit too much.
This is a dirty tactics to force players to purchase pit coins for additional stuff.
It looks like people ignore F1 Life, they rely on VIP to get extra stuff and merchandisers are not hitting their targets. But it's not our fault so there is no reason to punish us for it.
@P4st3l1akI was hoping they would drop the price of the content package to 50% during Black Friday, but that didn't happen and I still think paying $20 USD for the pace car it too steep!
AMD AGESA ComboPI v1.2.0.8
AMD Chipset Driver v.5.02.19.2221
AMD Adrenalin 23.2.2 has received 'Recommended' status.
Despite rare reports of messing up some systems, there were no installation issues. Nor game issues, unless anyone has any AMD specific issues they'd like me to try replicate?
SAM enabled, Secure Boot and HVCI enabled. R5 5600X/32GB/RX6800 - W11 22H2 'Moment 2'
Spotted following issues:
* Quali programme - I couldn't make it even to green during 3 attempts, ended up with the best time +0.8s over target but interestingly, I was awarded purple achievement. How?!?
* Wet race in Zandvoort: started on Full Wets with all AI drivers. Ten laps in, rain eased, Jeff said Interns and Wets are same, so I pitted for Interns. AI stayed on Wets even I was lapping a second faster than rest of grid. They pitted during SC seven laps later, also for Interns. Rain stopped, track dried slowly. Jeff reported it's crossover for dry in Weather Report about 8 laps to go. I pitted for Mediums, came back 10th and started lapping 2secs faster than top dog. I ended up winning the race with Haas (sixth car in list) because AI drivers didn't get the message and stuck with Interns till end of race.
That definitely looks like a bug that game doesn't let any AI driver to risk or pit when human player shows faster pace on different tyre.
* Found another cheat AI drivers use 😉
Race in Spa, MT with top car: 8 laps to go, 1st place, Medium tyres, rest of grid on Hards. I notice car behind me closing in. I made the fastest lap, AI drops to 2.1s behind me. Next lap, I am +0.2sec off my fastest (i.e. previous lap), AI behind closes to 0.7sec behind me. He made up ~1.4seconds but fastest lap was still assigned to me! 😉
NB Steam on PC, AI level 90
Dear EA/Codemasters Dev Team,
While I understand the team may be hard at work. with the product, the level of incompetence shown in this year's game cycle is staggering. The amount of bugs present in this game, and the apparent disregard for wanting to fix them not only in terms of crossplay but in regular online modes is appalling. From crashes to desync to tire temps, the level of unprofessionalism makes me very worried about the future of this game. When the only positive part of the game is independent league racing, there is a massive problem. While I understand that F1 life is a good project for the creative team who may be underutilized, please invest more in the actual development of the product and fixing bugs, instead of allowing us to play more in-depth dress-up. These issues will likely kill the small community that remains if they are not addressed, so I hope you take this comment seriously, instead of ignoring the community's problems with your product as EA has done with numerous other products. Hopefully, F123 is considerably more stable, but if not then hopefully the FIA and Formula 1 strip you of your license to produce Formula 1 games in the future.
Sincerely,
Someone who hopes you do better
