https://www.reddit.com/r/F1Game/comments/vmmsfz/broke_into_the_132s_at_cota_was_the_world_record/Just watch the clip at the Esses part, first sector. He just goes over the orange sausage kerb like it's not there. That's why I made the post a month ago and highlighted the issue, because I knew this would happen if the kerbs weren't raised a bit more. The car would already spin if this was real life. I hoped that the orange kerbs were not just cosmetic, but would also prevent cutting on those turns, just like real life obviously, but seems like that's not the case. The textures also seem to be bugged. Please fix this

I'm talking minutes. Clearly not something that should take months or years to update.

@DukeOfAntwerp This change wouldn't take at least a month to finish, stop defending their laziness lolAll they should've done is just to raise the height of the kerbs, and boom ,it's fixed. There's no way I could've reported the issue earlier, because there was no gameplay of F1 22 up until I reported it. They also didn't fix the Baku castle section, which shouldn't have the kerb on the left turn, yet it's there, and it would take a solid 1 hour or less to remove that kerb from there.It's not acceptable that some tracks are still unchanged after 5-6 years, take Hungaroring for example, the chicane kerb is still not fixed after 6 years. And it has been reported multiple times. So don't come here blaming me for not reporting it earlier, and please don't defend CM.

You can't just make changes and push it out in a build. These thing need testing so stop being so lazy yourself and start informing yourself how video games are made.The build we play today is older than one month

@DukeOfAntwerp wrote:@Cpt_BalloonhandsIt's not because something takes minutes to do it will be ready in weeks for the public. Every change in a build needs to go trough various checks or I do hope CM does this.I really don't get how people can assume that changes asked a month before release date would even make it to the release build. Do people really think June was a very calm month at CM? "oh I know what we can do to kill the time. Someone mentioned something about kerbs on COTA, with nothing to do until release date let's fix that as there are no bugs to squash"They could have....I don't know....tested this themselves in the year that they had to make the game? It's not like this wouldn't have been noticeable to them internally when driving over these. Personally, I don't think it's such a big deal in this particular case, I'd rather they fixed some of the more outdated kerbs in Monza and Austria (just to name a couple). But let's not act like they would have sprung into action if somebody had pointed this out to them a few months ago.

But I'll let you know, don't worry.But I see that you have trouble understanding the English language. It's the second time I say that Hungaroring issue has been reported for YEARS, since 2014, and it's still not fixed. Do you not understand that I'm not the first person to report the issue?Hopefully you do now, and it's not just Hungaroring, people have asked CM to fix other tracks too. And you can look at my thread where I pointed out the issues with the tracks, and you can see it's one of the most upvoted posts here, yet the single answer from the developer wasn't even towards my post, but rather something else. I asked him something, yet he doesn't answer, but if there's a problem with someone not being able to purchase the game, it gets instant response from a dev.And it's annoying because they did a great job with all the 4 changed/new tracks, but they refuse to fix the existing circuits, like Monza kerbs, Mexico, Spa and all the other ones.Also, thanks @Cpt_Balloonhands for having my back, I have no idea why CM gets defended like they are a small indie company.

Seems like the COTA change was useless, and made the track worse...

To be fair to CM, if you reported this a month ago I can't see how they would have gotten the revised kerbs in todays release. Do report the issue for F1 23 because I don't expect any changes like this in this years edition.

Are we sure that TC isn't on in that video? Or mods? Damage settings? In my limited time with the game this morning before work I dont see how you can drive over the curbs like that without either damaging the car, or spinning out.   If people thought the curbs were slippery last year, wait until this year especially if you're on the throttle.   Now I didn't run any laps at COTA so I can't say specific to this track, but heck T1, and the final turn at the Red Bull Ring just clipping those curbs were damaging my floor, or spinning me out. That little esses section before the final two turns if you take those sweeping corners and hit the curbs on the throttle you'll find yourself spinning rather quickly.
So maybe this is something to do with the settings in this video.   I'll admit though I didn't get much time to test the new handling, but the cars do feel heavier, and they certainly have far less traction than last year with TC off, or even on medium. So people who weren't happy with the slippery feeling of F1 21 certainly will have lots to complain about with F1 22.
I just find this video weird, because in austria, and France I certainly couldn't drive over curbs like that without damaging the floor, or spinning.   Mind you again; limited experience with the game and new handling model, and i play with a controller also. Maybe on my lunch break I'll fire up a few laps at COTA, but I've got to be careful with my time here because to me I'm not sure F1 22 is worth the purchase as of yet compared to F1 21, and the lack of save slots again this year has me strongly considering keeping my money.

@DukeOfAntwerpI'm not pretending that, I learn game development, I know roughly how long something takes or not. Testing the simplest thing doesn't take more than a week .And you are so wrong. How would the build that we play today is older than one month??

I have no idea what you mean by that. The Miami kerb at S3 got added in a recent patch. In WIP state the kerb was missing in creator videos, but right now it's there after release, which means there was an update less than 1-2 weeks ago. ANd testing out new kerbs doesn't take more than a week, stop lying to yourself.

They could copy-paste Abu Dhabi kerbs to COTA, and it would still work, and be better than what we have right now. And answer to the main point of what I am saying, don't pick out a random sentence and answer to that.
And I'll repeat, since you seem to ignore what I say, Hungaroring's chicane has been changed in real life back in 2014-2015. People reported this change every year to CM, asked them to change the chicane so it would be just like real life. Guess what, 8 years later, they still haven't updated it, yet we asked them every year. But surely it's my fault for not reporting the issue earlier

@petro1319 The game is a few hours old, I'm not sure how there would be mods. Damage setting doesn't affect car behaviour. TC only affect throttle control, not car behaviour.

I get what you are saying, but this video shows that it isn't the case. He can go over the kerbs with his wheel, and he drives over them like it's not there. I'm not sure about the damage by going over these kerbs, and that's not what I want to know, because he drives in TT, I'm just commenting on the car behaviour. The only issue is that the kerb is not high enough, so it doesn't matter that the kerb is there.

Take the new red Australia kerb for example, if you drive over that, your car slightly jumps in the air, the way it should be in COTA too.

@Tibi2199Ok tell me now which games you will be making in the future so I can avoid those game at all times because you don't seem to have a clue of game development.

Regarding what you said about the Hungaroring already answers why it's weird to assume that something you reported 1 month ago would be done by release date.

It's a triangular kerb. Not a complex character model. The change would literally take minutes. As @Tibi2199 already pointed out, they could even re-use the orange kerbs from Abu Dhabi (the ones at the apex in the slower corners) which are quite bumpy. Copy, paste. Done. Not sure where you get the idea that this would take weeks to do.

Yes, integrating it into a build that gets released would take weeks, because they wouldn't just release a patch for this one issue. But let's be honest here, CM takes years to fix simple things like this, look at all the other tracks. Austria's kerbs are still from 2016. Who knows why.... There isn't really a good excuse for it.
