Official Statement?
How about an official statement about this disaster. Or are your customers only good for paying?

Unacceptable after 4 weeks of playing, surely you test these issues in house before or those with early release access should be picking up these issues.
Very few positive comments on here and social media in general, the game to many is unplayable and not an enjoyable experience. Spent hours getting setups for each track then update 1.06 changes the whole handling meaning starting again, worried this will happen again with patch 1.07 or 1.08 etc.
I surely am not the only one who feels conned into buying a game that was not ready for release, I feel like a paying Guinea pig who reports issues whilst wasting hours having to change things over and over with updates, too many issues to name here but basics are setups changing, handling changing, rear view mirror in osd was strange, the traction AI have. This isn't just me but YouTube people, esport drivers so no just us who want the game for "fun".
The lack of updates on here or any social media, don't recall seeing an apology of any sorts, I will never pre order again, I will let other Guinea pigs do that, spend hours reporting issues and once I see they are sorted will look around for any offers that show up.
Yes I'm angry, the game is not cheap, if this was any other product we would have the right to return as it is not fit for purpose.

People rarely sign on to forums and social media to say how happy they are with a game (or anything else), though, do they. The internet is primarily an echo chamber for people to moan, and the vast majority of comments on pretty much anything are negative. People who are having positive experiences just get on with their lives.

Indeed. Plus the move from the Codemasters forum to here has significantly reduced the number of people posting more just from a general discussion perspective.
@Ultrasonic_77 Do you realise how hard it is for me to keep generally to the topic.. fear off banishment!!! I like to expand the conversation makes for a friendlier happy place
The game is not a disaster. Its one of the , if not best games in the series . OK a few things need sorting but your comment is a bit harsh .
I like it. I’m having fun, and I think the 1.06 patch was a big improvement.
Edit: To add that I of course doesn’t think the game is in a perfect state. But the AI difficulty all over the place from track to track was worse in 21 imo. The practise programs needs to be patched to properly mirror the actual qualification and race pace etc. The AI being fast on straights isn’t something that has bothered me, and the aggressiveness hasn’t bothered me either. Just look at Vettel Schumacher Miami, Magnussen Hamilton Spain, Vettel Baku, Leclerc France, Perez Russel Austria and so on. Drivers do mistakes, brake late, lock up.
FFB needs to be fixed tho, and connectivity issues, game crashing and such, that’s a “unplayable “ state of the game, and needs to be addressed. My pad has FFB, so I can play. But I feel sorry for those with wheels who has payed and can’t play. I’m considering buying a wheel, but as the state of the game is now, I’m waiting just so I know it will work, and that is a sorry state of a game on that point.
Compared to previous years games it may be better. No previous years games despite all the faults. The gameplay and game mode balance was always decent at launch. This year ai you have know idea how fast or aggressive they will be not just race to race but session to session. And then game gives you ridiculous practice program targets to meet: qualifying program being the obvious one. You can fail it by 2 seconds. Then get pole in actual qualifying with a slower lap time. And when your playing my team early on you need those resource points as your car is a big fat dragdog
As someone who payed almost 100 bucks for the game. It clearly is not ready and I honestly wonder if and who actually tests these games. The audio stutters, FFB gets cut out mid race online etc.. the cars on the home screen disappear. (F1 life house). my trophy in the display case is blurry. 1:22's are not uploading on the TT leaderboard for Abu Dhabi. My biggest concern is the FFB cutting out mid race. I'm a league racer and competitive. We had a pre season yesterday at Abu Dhabi and it cut out multiple times. Never had this issue on 20 or 21. I honestly feel like I got sold an unfinished, untested game. I love these f1 games and I hope one day that y'all can figure out what you're doing wrong and actually sell a game that is working and not riddled with issues.
