EA know and they are ignoring us!
Its impossible to not see this thread with more than 20 pages.
They dont care if the official F1 game dont follow the official F1 rules.
if sales are good, it's ok.
I've just asked Steam for a full refund. No idea if they'll give it to me, but I put as much detail as possible as to what the situation is. I'm really hoping they'll listen, but it's a long shot.
I'm so done with this game. I'm so angry. I have absolutely no confidence in it being fixed now and just want my money back.
Edit: Also, when I say situation, I mean overall, not just the tyre allocation issue. So many issues being ignored or not fixed.
Update: Steam won't give me a refund.
Steam wouldn't give me a refund either, so I made a claim on my credit card (they warranty all purchases for extra 12 months on Premium Card) 8 weeks later after their investigation as I quoted the Australian consumer law (Not fit for purpose law) which is one of the best consumer laws in the world, Me have my money back. Steam can go jump I don't need their permission to do anything.
Codemasters TeamHey folks,
Thank you for your detailed feedback on this topic. We've shared an update on this which you can find here: Tyre Allocations - Answer HQ.
Why can’t you just replace this years allocation with the 2021 allocations? This is pure laziness and completely unprofessional of EA
Let me see if I understand, you are saying that you will not fix this bug?!
No, that cannot be true.
Are you kidding?
It is unacceptable that this is true!
Ridiculous!
Thanks TGK,
But for me, this really isnt a solution, since there were so many problems with every game since atleast 2020, ive decided to not get the game next year.
Maybe you guy's should listen to the fans, instead of listening to well, i dont know who you guys listen to really...
From my prespective (owned everygame except 2015) it would be best to stop the yearly relese, or hold it for a year, get the base of this buggy mess in order, upgrade the servers and all and release the next year, with maybe a legacy edition for like 15 bucks.
But know how the series already been and the great masters of EA above your head, im sure thats never gonna happen

Give us unlimited tyres if you are incompetent to make game properly.
Also what the hell is that fake XP points by 1 EA admin, come on.
What a pathethic excuse of a answer... Truly would be 'game breaking' to re-enable games already EXISTING ... keyword EXISTING menu screen for weekend tyre allocation that is already IN the game, and adding few presets in there shifting the mediums or hards outside of Practice for Q/R... Its not like the game doesn't already support handling a different weekend tyre allocation ... as shown by screenshots ...
And I must add:
"Whilst the way tyres are allocated throughout a race weekend in F1® 22 follows several sporting regulations, we’ve tried to balance tyre allocations throughout all sessions. Even though this may be seen as somewhat restrictive, it ensures players aren’t left without a specific set for an important part of the weekend."
>Ah yes because we totally NEED 2 sets of mediums in the god damn practice programs , when LITERALLY only a single practice program recommends mediums... must be sure not fail the Race simulation programme on my 2 sets of mediums... What a YOKE of a excuse.
I know the real reason why this has been done in this years game, its because of the tyre return priority, if the player skips P1 they lose mediums for P2/P3 even without the player using them, having 2 sets ensure player has another medium set for P2 ...But we don't need that, you can just shift the Set 1 of mediums to P3 to avoid the return priority in first place... And then have Set 2/3 be allocated for Race/Q.
In ideal world to avoid the return tyre priority for skipping sessions you would want to allocated 2 softs to P1 , 1 soft / 1 hard to P2 , 1 soft / 1 medium to P3 and rest into Q/R allocation
And again the game ALREADY HAS a weekend tyre allocation screen, WHY can't that be re-used to have various presets of how the tyres are distributed over the weekend, and just have a randomizer tied for how the AI picks them... and be done with it.
Im about to sound like a little entitled b* ... but I've been buying every single CM F1 game on steam since 2010... and honestly I've had enough F1 22 might be my last purchase. I'm not spending another penny for simple fixes that a basement dweller can implement through memory editing...
But guys keep it civil against the community team, its not their fault that CM dev team is being incompetent in this situation, but personally I'm done with this series.
Fix it like this: Evertyime you use tyre and come to pits it will be again on 0% and you can put it on your car!

@JanKondleragree, there are many ways to give a solution, but the best thing for them is to ignore F1 rules, I really hope F1 keep an eye on them and choose another company to do the F1 Official game, unfortunatelly they have a lot of years with F1 license, we are in the trash with EA!
I agree with you but no. This in not EAs fault its purely Codemasters! They are absolutely incompetent! They arent able to fix this simple bug but we have cars that NO ONE uses. I have never seen anybody from week 2 to use that * in F1 game. They are total * and they should never touch that game again.Give it to Roblox or Fortnite developers, I dont care.
I can't believe what I've just read in that statement. In so many words, "we'll fix it for the next game that'll cost you another £60".
I'm speechless.
Edit: I've just noticed the 203 XP on the @CM_TGK account, all given by 1 EA account at the moment he posted the statement, presumably to make it try and reflect every single one of us who've posted in this thread are thankful. I can't believe what I'm seeing. I feel a bit sick tbh.
You're never getting another penny out of me.
This behaviour is absolutely unacceptable. Adding more XP to make it look helpful? Or that we are thankful? What is this?
Community ManagerHey @s00zster @JanKondler,
I just wanted to briefly clarify what you're seeing here. This is an automated part of how XP works on the AHQ Forums, which you can read more about on this page if you'd like.
When a post is flagged as the answer in a thread, that post is "pinned" and will show up as the first reply on the first page. We'll often use that for visibility to make sure information is not missed.
That also automatically adds XP based on the number of replies a thread has received. This is just the way the forums work in general, not something that was manually added or targeted for this thread, as a heads up.
Hopefully that clarifies that aspect a bit more, thank you for the continued game feedback.
"Whilst the way tyres are allocated throughout a race weekend in F1® 22 follows several sporting regulations, we’ve tried to balance tyre allocations throughout all sessions."
"Even though this may be seen as somewhat restrictive, it ensures players aren’t left without a specific set for an important part of the weekend."
...What on earth are you talking about? We ARE 'left without a specific set for an important weekend'. That's what this whole thread was all about.
I feel like they could easily just switch out one set of Softs from qualifying to one set of Mediums from practice and that would already fix plenty of issues - I'm surprised by their post/decision here...

This! That's exactly what the problem is! The players have been left without a specific set for an important part of the weekend.
It's like they haven't even been reading our complaints!
Please just bin EGO 4 this game is 7 years old now it's dead give up move on. Get over it. Build a new game with everything working. You owe it to everyone that bought F1 21 and F1 22.
What the!? this is unacceptable. People have been complaining about this for months and the answer you give is just that you're not fixing it? This is absolutely unbelievable, it screws up strategy for players who race at 50% and 100% laps and almost completely removes the element of pitting under the safety car early to mid race because you don't have a 2nd set of mediums. Can't switch a MH strategy to MMS because the 2nd set of mediums is not there.
Also, the fix, as others have suggested, seems simple enough, switch the 2nd set of mediums in free practice for one of the softs in qualifying. Sure, it's unrealistic because with the quali rules now, you wouldn't have a need to use the mediums in qualifying but you know what's more unrealistic? Not having a 2nd set of mediums for the race.
Another way is to just make the Sprint weekend allocation the default one, which is basically the same as the solution above.
On normal forums the "solution" is accepted by the original author of the topic, not by an admin. This "explanation" is not a solution to the problem.
I'm starting to think there is a genuine miscommunication and misunderstanding here.
Codemasters' statement referred to the general function of the tyre allocation and how close to the rules it is (essentially what the opening post was about) rather than specifically about missing a 2nd set of medium tyres (the statement seems to be totally oblivious to this point by saying "we wanted to make sure the player wasn't missing a specific set of tyres). They're just focusing on how allocation works compared to real life and have effectively ruled that as "by design".
Perhaps it would be better if we all piled into the thread I opened a few weeks ago which was specifically about not being able to use a 2nd set of mediums - Can't Use 2nd set of Medium Tyres in a Non-Sprint Race - Answer HQ (ea.com)
If we can bump that thread up, perhaps they might get the message?
