VR Wobble / jitter when in Car
This issue has persisted since 23 /24 and makes the game unplayable. When in game, there is a head tracking problem which gives the feeling of "wobbling", and it seems to be that the tracking is delayed or out of sync, causing stutter when moving your head. This causes instant sickness and makes it unplayable. I'm yet to find a post in the community with a fix and it seems to be a very common issue. My specs: 5700x3d 32GB Ram Nvidia 5070TI Quest 3 via SteamVR (Link cable and virtual desktop) running at 90hz Tried a wide range of settings, including dropping everything to the minimum. No avail.
TYRE SMOKE IS BROKEN
The tyre smoke on f1 24 and f1 25 is impossible to see through and is incredibly unrealistic. In every braking zone in online lobbies, into every braking zone there is a wall of tyre smoke that no one can see through. On PC you can turn off particles in your settings to remove it from the game entirely, however on console the game does not allow you to turn particles off. It also happens far too frequently as in real life, you would only see tyre smoke after a massive lock up, whereas in the game the tyre smoke is visible in every braking zone. The solution would be to reduce the tyre smoke massively or ajust the opacity of the tyre smoke, because at the moment it is just a wall of white (doesn't look like smoke). Or even removing tyre smoke from the game entirely until they have been properly fixed.AI Difficulty Imbalance Between Dry and Wet Conditions – Needs Fixing
The real problem is that the AI is too slow in dry conditions. I can beat it without any setup at 110 difficulty, and even with a margin, while in the wet it’s almost two seconds faster than me. I think the wet difficulty is well balanced. Racing at 110 in the wet can be a good challenge for pro players. The point is that the dry difficulty needs to be increased by at least a second, or even a second and a half, to match the level of challenge in the wet. And let’s not even talk about Monaco, where at 110 the AI is almost two seconds slower than me in dry conditions without a setup. This is a very serious issue and discourages me from starting a career mode — it needs to be fixed immediately.Ai is broken!
The Ai is completely broken! (Which in career and my team means that the racing is broken). The Ai at race starts are slow, the ai on the corners are extremely slow and then on the straights they are insanely fast. In the wet weather they are far far too fast. This needs sorting ASAP! It’s a racing game and unless you aren’t against Ai you can’t properly race because it’s broken!🤦🏼♀️
Slippery course no visuals of wet track
Drove the Chinese Gp, the whole race the car is sliding and acceleration out of corners was the worst like the track is wet but the track was dry. When the engineer indicated that rain was coming, the car was "uncontrollable" in slow turns. When drops actually fell, the track remained visually dry. Report code:BGCJ-LXCV-MDJL-GXHDAI too slow
The AI is way too slow, both in qualifying and races. It is very easy to beat 110 AI, there needs to be a higher difficulty. This makes it very difficult to enjoy offline racing. There are also pace inconsistencies from session types, for example differences in qualifying and race pace and different pace across different tracks, however they are overall way too slow in all situations.AI Has Unfair Advantages Due to Missing Simulation Depth (ERS, Tires, Weather)
There is no question that the AI has improved drastically compared to last year, especially in terms of behavior during duels and making more mistakes. It feels much more realistic and human-like. However, there are aspects of the AI that completely destroy any immersion and leave me mostly frustrated. The big problem with the AI is that it has virtually no simulation depth. It only pretends to have it - but that's just an illusion. And it’s precisely this lack of simulation depth that causes the frustrating situations most of us have long noticed. The AI has no ERS simulation. If you watch the AI steering wheels in a replay, it appears they are using ERS and the percentage is dropping. Unfortunately, that's deception. It has nothing to do with their actual ERS reserves. You can tell because their cars don’t flash once they fall below 10% ERS - unlike the player’s car, which does flash to inform the following driver that the battery is empty. Even with 10% ERS, the AI drives as if they had 100%. They reach the same top speed regardless of whether their wheel display shows full or empty ERS. It is literally just an illusion. So, the AI has unlimited ERS and uses it on the straights constantly, regardless of the percentage shown on their wheel. This leads to a situation where the player can keep up for the first 2-3 laps, but once the player’s ERS is used up and needs recharging, the player is hopelessly inferior on the straights. Because the AI never needs to recharge - it’s simply not simulated. The same applies to tire wear. The AI has no tire wear simulation. The AI gets slightly slower over the course of the race to simulate tire wear. But it’s not actually simulated. It’s just pre-programmed behavior. That’s why it often feels like the AI gets faster as the race goes on - or rather, we get slower. Their programmed pace reduction affects their speed less than the real tire degradation the player experiences. So, the player loses more race pace over the stint than the AI. Now lets talk about tire temperature. To keep it short: the AI does not simulate tire temperature. In dry races, this has no effect 99% of the time. But in wet or changing conditions, it becomes a crucial factor. (And yes, the player can turn off tire temperature simulation.) Now to the topic that’s probably the most controversial: AI on a wet track. The reason the AI is so superhumanly strong in the wet is a combination of the factors mentioned above plus their traction control, which works completely differently from the player’s. If the player has traction control enabled and hits the throttle, it only releases as much power as needed to prevent wheelspin. But it never releases the optimal amount - you're never at the limit of wheelspin. In fact, the traction control releases far less power than what would actually be possible. That’s also why you're always faster without traction control than with it. The AI's traction control works completely differently. It always releases the optimal amount of power at all times. Combined with the lack of simulation depth - which makes them immune to external factors - this makes them unrealistically strong in certain corners, and especially in the wet. They activate ERS right at the apex of a corner and - thanks to their special traction control - blast out of slow corners unrealistically fast. If the player tries the same thing, they lose grip and spin out because the player is subject to simulation-based physics the AI is not. The fact that the AI doesn’t simulate things like physics, aerodynamics, dirt on the tires, etc. only amplifies their superhuman behavior. Anyone who has played a MyTeam/Driver Career over several seasons in past F1 games will have noticed: The more developed the cars become, the stronger the AI gets. To the point where you have to keep lowering the difficulty to keep up. That’s because the AI is free from any simulation or external influences like physics, etc. They get 100% of the power to the track at all times. Whether the physics allow it or not doesn’t matter for the AI. They literally break the laws of nature. And that’s what makes them absurdly strong. The F1 Game series urgently needs a new Game engine that allows AI to be simulated the same way as the player. As long as that isn’t possible, nothing will change. The AI will always have a massive competitive advantage.
