Unplayable Complaints
I see so many irrelevant posts in the midst of all the issues and it makes it look like it's just people moaning which is devaluing the valid complaints. A lot of people use the word careless "UNPL...
The MyTeam car is proper crap in terms of aerodynamics/drag but as of now my myteam Car is for example top of the notch when it comes to engine power/aero (drag reduction) (because i specifically devloped these areas in Season 1). Yet i can not compete with the AI on straights on "my" difficulty (meaning i am as fast in corners or slightly faster depending on setup). If i lower the difficulty to be as fast as the AI over 1 lap on some tracks there is literally no racing. They can not overtake me because they stand no chance in the corners and i can not overtake them because i stand no chance on the straight. And in qualy i am usually unchallenged P1 with lower difficulty.
Theres a huge balance issue in my opinion. The good thing is, on PC, you can at least run mods that fix this issue. Thats what i am doing when i come home. Worked in 1.05, created awesome racing on an even playing field matching the RD Performance.
Just to clarify, though, I'm not getting at people with legitimate issues - I completely understand that and I know how it feels to spend a ton of cash that hasn't lasted a month's worth of enjoyment. I was referring to the small portion of people who scream like children and won't try anything to work around something out of stubbornness or denial that perhaps they need to admit that the game is harder this year and have to compromise.
While I previously stated that I had dropped to 65 and had good battles, overall I am still really unhappy with the game and stopped playing it yesterday. I've done a lot of bug reporting (sadly including bugs that existed for F1 2021, I reported them on the old forum and obviously they were ignored - proper reports, by the way, not just a paragraph with a whine), but there's just so many bugs that keep popping up that I've given up. It's overwhelming. There is too much wrong with the game, little things here and there, adding up and making the whole experience unpleasant. Unenjoyable, yes and, to contradict what I previously said, perhaps unplayable too. You can't play it because you can't enjoy it. I get it.
And worse still that while I'm lucky enough to have the game on PC and therefore have the ability to mod, some of the bugs just cannot be fixed by modding due to Codemasters closing the more important files off some years ago. If this was F1 2012, on top of it having dynamic localized weather, which I loved, the entire game was moddable. Right down to the chances of each driver making mistakes.I might just go back to that one, to be honest.
Bug that prevents processing of full replays in cinema Which is from F1 2021 is in F1 22 and still not resolved
