Product: F1 22 Platform:PC Summarize your bug The game works differently over the kerbs on lower framerate, giving people running capped frames an advantage What is your 16 digit Report Code? PAMH...

I was thinking the same. I believe an expected consequence of the physics changes this year was to reduce the amount extreme corner cuts were unrealistically viable in the game so I suspect the goal would be to match the higher fps performance if possible. For eSports/online racing I guess what matters most is consistency though.
Just a guess but maybe matching higher fps is not the fix they're applying here based on this statement by PSGL and this one by WOR. Cancellation and delay due to 'significant differences between retail and esport builds'. I would imagine every player in those leagues could hit higher fps so to be unwilling to play the retail build indicates to me it might not be the same physics as high fps. Just speculating at this point I guess but I hope the retail build gets the changes very soon.
@Crunchar Well, if the physics was tied to fps, doing a proper fix and not some hack, would probably mean it could and probably have wider effect than just how the curbs behave.
Just yesterday I read comment from one of the eSport guys who was lowering the fps and seeing how it affects the curbs, that he was also faster on tracks where you curb riding is not a thing.
But yeah, there are probably other changes and fixes in the eSport build that eventually end up in the consumer build as well. They are just now in a real hurry to get that eSport built solid for the competition that should start around September-October, so they are prioritizing that.

@ea/codemasters is there any news when the problem will be fixed?
could it be that there was no problem with the release version?

Sadly no. The issues identified were in the current main release version. Definitely on PC, and actually you've reminded me I keep meaning to test for myself on PS5.
*I think what you meant, as distinct from this being an eSports only problem? If you meant the launch version of the game then most won't be in a position to test now. I doubt it's changed personally but anything's possible!
I was going to ask the same: No news about this fix? It has to be top 1 on the fixes list. While this bug is happening, unfair races are happening all over the world on PC.
