F1 2016 Codemasters F1 2016 Survey Now Live - Have Your Say

[Paul Jeffrey]

Codemasters have launched a short online survey, as they look at ways to improve the game in future editions of the title. As an incentive to complete the brief questions, ten lucky submissions will be chosen at random to win sets of Formula One 2016 merchandise.

With F1 2016 widely regarded as the finest version of the series released by Codemasters, offering a dramatic improvement over recent lacklustre attempts by the studio, it will again be heartening to fans to hear the willingness of Codemasters to take on board comments from the gaming community.

The survey asks some relatively innocent questions, such as ranking your preferred features from 1 - 9, however plenty of free text fields gives a good opportunity for fans to voice their opinion directly to the studio.

As an additional incentive, ten sets of F1 2016 t-shirts, posters and lanyards will be given out at random to users who submit a response and leave their email address at the end of the survey.

Talk about stating the obvious here lol.
I'm sure kunos and reiza would love to sell a few thousand copies too, the difference is they deliver on their promise regardless.

Atleast with Dirt rally CM did deliver on their promise for once, I hope they did on F1 2016 too, I wont know until I'm brave enough to make a purchase

I never thought I'd see someone defend the F1 games' physics on this site. They're not even trying.

I'm using Windows 7 SP1 x64, 8GB RAM, FX8350 and RX480. Many people have the same problem, just made a research at google, and many steam users are experiencing this problem too. No luck.

Everything is up to date, but the problem continues, can't play the game.

Try verifying the game cache in Steam.
Failing that delete local content and try a reinstall.

Tried that 2 times already, no luck. WTF?

On the contrary. Take all assists off and drive with legend AI at a wet Sepang. Yes it's not as detailed as AC or AMS but we all know that. To say they're not even trying is a little harsh imho

I hope they put out a demo at some point so I can feel it for myself, but what does the AI have to do with physics?

Hmmm... how frustrating. Definitely got the sound in control panel set to headphones?
Is there a similar setting in game too? I can't remember.
People also say something about 48000hz maybe this is a setting you could check too?

Maybe they will or maybe Steam will give a free weekend on the game as they have in the past.
I guess AI have nothing to do with physics. They're all just on rails right? No. They make mistakes and you see the other cars squirming under acceleration. Just saying that the AI are subjected to the same physics that the player is.

That doesn't bode well then. Surely an Xbone can't simulate much for 20-something cars while rendering the fast-paced scenery.

 

[Alex Townsend]

Not sure about the Xbone. I mean it has an 8 core AMD CPU and the GPU, whilst nothing stellar, has 8GB of ram too so not sure why it couldn't handle physics for 20+ cars.
I wouldn't know if it's any different as I don't have it on Xbox One. Just have it on PC, but can't imagine CM having different physics and AI routines for different hardware. Although I could be wrong...
