We have a lesser version of the game? F1 Esports uses another build?

are you kidding me? why is that? why use two different versions? what about people who want to train for league? i'm glad i left for iracing, but i love f1 and i don't like what is being done with f1...

@Ultrasonic_77Hard to guess without knowing what really causes the issue, and if it was indeed wholly fixed at the root cause instead of only patched with a workaround 🙃

I wish we had more details to work with. I miss Barry and PJ.

The closest I saw to real information on the cause was some insight in a video of Alex Gillon's, saying it probably related to different aspects of the physics modelling updating at different frequencies. Not rock solid at all but it sounded plausible and from memory it was based on information on previous changes made to the game.

@Ultrasonic_77 Did we just trust their word that it's fixed 100% in that patch, how in depth testing has been done for this? I mean, if they just did some hack fix, doing some tuning to probabilities so it would have less of an impact, it might be still something that on the highest level, actually does have impact. Gillon might have been into something by thinking, it might be done like this because of performance and having to make the game run also on old gen consoles. If that is the case, fixing this properly, might not have been a possibility with a reasonable effort.

Some eSport drives, like Ronhaart, claimed on Twitter to have used 240fps on the event 3, and unless he lies, it's not having such an impact that you would have to use 60fps to do well...

I kinda doubt the eSport build would have whatever change they did for this particular issue for the public build, unless there has been regression on some eSport built patch that brought it back (overwriting the fix with old functionality).

    What usually happens is updates are applied to the eSports build first and then the consumer build, not the other way round.

    Re. trusting re. 100% fix, no, hence I deliberately questioned this above. I don't play on PC myself to be able to comment.
