F1 2015 New Patches Across All Platforms Soon

[Graham Laing]

From jennyannem - Codemasters Community Manager - January 19th

Just thought I'd give you all an update: the Xbox One patch is now in at Microsoft for testing. The PC and PS4 patches are also being worked on, with an aim to get them both out as soon as the Xbox One patch has been released.

No patch notes available yet ........

Wish I could respond in a more positive way, but looking at the current condition of this game "after 11 PC patches", some no bigger than a "hot fix", I really don't expect anything out of Codemasters that will bring me back to it. Currently using F1 2013.

General Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Fixed an issue where players could not change their tyres on the grid after completing an earlier OSQ session on the same track.
• Fixed some framerate and lag spike issues that would cause incorrect car-to-car collisions.
• Fixed a bug that meant connections with limited upload bandwidth would appear laggy while on track and eventually disconnect.
• Fixed an issue where the race could be flagged as complete on the incorrect lap (including at the start of the race).
• Fixed an issue that would cause a players car to always be ghosted during timed qualifying sessions.

I see no mention of the FFB, it was at best passable but since a few patches ago that broke the logitech profiler I've just given up completely. I really really hope they bring in whoever did the FFB for Dirt Rally next year.

Why don't they update the Singapore circuit?

Why don't they update the Singapore circuit?

It's not only Singapore ... the Mexico track and some other ones need aswell some improvements.
But the more important would be updated FFB effects and more "weight" for the cars.
Unfortunately Codies had really disappointed me so much with the F1 '15 title.

That they can do it much better proved Dirt Rally.

Is it a big difference with the patch. I had give up the game for a month and go back to 1 2014 but now I want to give the game a last chance. Is the ai fixed?

 

[Graham Laing]

I don't know, I haven't tried it yet. However nothing changes for me, and the way I play, apart from cosmetic skin changes on a few cars.
