Re: F1® 22 - Patch 1.15 Discussion Thread

@ScarDuck14 About that part with the softer tire allocation: I have seen people surviving a sprint weekend without getting DSQd, like Dave Gaming for example, but he also runs one-shot qualifying in his races. Has anyone replicated this with the harder tire allocation in sprint weekends not triggering the DSQ? I'd love to try myself, but I work late shifts at work, so no real time unless it's just to actually do something with my careers (I'm currently in COTA in my careers).

    @bundesautobahn7 I’ve used both balanced and harder and not come across any problems. It’s only a theory about the softer allocation but as I don’t use softs during a race anyway I Havnt used that allocation so I can’t be sure. It’s only because I’ve seen posts that mention they were on softs when they got DSQ.

    But doing one shot qualifying could also be the reason why there’s no problems as your obviously only using one set off soft tyres. And maybe one shot would be a viable workaround to use during sprint weekends until theres a new patch.

    @ScarDuck14 That was my thought. And besides, full qualifying and short qualifying are getting long in the tooth for me, especially when there's traffic. So if I remember, I may switch to one-shot from Mexico on and when I get to Brazil, we'll see. My strat is mediums-softs, I prefer to run the fastest compounds in the second stint, but I may have to switch to hards-mediums for precaution in Brazil. We'll see. I also only run 25% races max in F1, but that is irrelevant for the DSQ.

    @bundesautobahn7 I like one shot because off the jeopardy. One little mess up and your pole lap turns into a mid grid start.

    Actually 25% races may also be a reason off the Dsq as you use softs. I do 50% races so hard/mediums is my go to.

    I’m not sure how the Dsq comes about. But I’m sure it’s something to do with. Soft tyres

    @ScarDuck14 Which is why I may have to switch to hards-mediums for that race only (x2 because it's in both careers). And if I still get DSQd, then I'll just do two make-up races in F1 2020, maybe one in the F2004.

    @ScarDuck14 I changed to OSQ from Mexico on. It's also a bit less stressful because you don't have to deal with traffic ahead of you.

    And is there any news about the tire bug hotfix? I got Brazil coming up next week, and I wanna avoid going trial and error with my tires in the main event.

    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 😉

    @P4st3l1ak One thing that one-shot qualifying can fix. Yes, it's always a roll of the dice, but you have clean air, and the worst traffic that you can have is the ghosted lead car, and even that can be deactivated. I seriously wonder why I haven't introduced OSQ into my careers sooner. I only started doing it when I was doing random five-lappers at the end of F1 2021, and previously for GP mode races. But to each their own. 😉

    @bundesautobahn7 It’s actually pointless doing full qualifying until tyre allocations and strategies reflect real life. Until then the Ai will just use whatever they are coded to use.

    And I don’t know about this year during full qualifying.
    But the top 8 drivers from the top 4 teams would qualify in top ten. So I decided one shot atleast added jeopardy to my lap. And as I don’t trust the game and how you get mechanical failures I turn them down. The Game already makes it easy to rage. Suffering mechanical failures after 2 hours of racing without putting a wheel wrong. I love my TV and Ps5. And although they are both Sony I don’t think having a ps5 embedded in the screen is what Sony was referring to with the ps5 auto sync feature 😀

    @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 😉

    @P4st3l1ak There is that timing glitch as well, where you fast forward the session and the AI improves insanely. And that glitch exists for years in the F1 game.

    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.

    @ScarDuck14 good to hear, is that for sprint weekends as well? Will get back involved if need be and just write off the Brazil race.

    @ScarDuck14 No DSQ on sprint weekends, right? Looks like autocorrect played around with your statement. And it does indeed sound like OSQ being a viable workaround.

    If anyone insists on short quali or full qualifying (this is directly to online races, like league races), I strongly suggest to reset the lobby after the sprint race and rebuild it for the race, even if that means everyone gets a new fresh bunch of tires.

    @ScarDuck14 Was that on a season that was started after the patch or ongoing please? My season was ongoing before the patch.

    @nowthenfella Was a new My team career starting as mid team After patch. Actually as it was a big patch I went nuclear: deleting the game and my save game data. Then downloaded and reinstalled the 1.15.

    Anyway first season took balanced tyre application and harder for my current season. All Races are 50% distance

    @nowthenfella So it was in my case, and I did not go nuclear and deleted my saves to start from scratch again. But check your allocation, because in my case, I was auto-assigned the harder allocation after the patch. If you have the balanced or harder allocation, then as Scarduck said, go OSQ on sprint weekends and then see what you can do.

    Given what he says, I will try hards-softs for my upcoming Brazil sprint weekend (when I finish Mexico this weekend), unless I feel really lucky and try my standard mediums-softs. I already switched to OSQ because, while evidently part of a viable workaround and a roll of the dice, you get to drive in clean air which is a major plus. My races are all 25%.

    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 😉
