I did all the graphics and i didn't even get anything.

I'll play the game when it's fixed but for the moment, i don't have enough time to play Skyrim, BF3 and Dota 2.

I haven't seen Singapore or any race after (though I haven't seen any of those results, don't spoil me!) and I can't help but think this let down of a game hasn't done any favors for that. Sure, it's mostly just because of work and I've been super busy with Dark Souls/Skyrim in my free time, but fuck, I read this thread just as much as the OT for the real F1 and it genuinely got me excited for Sunday races.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Lucius and I have both been very vocal about how disappointed we are with the game. We accepted the swag because it was nice of Codies to acknowledge our work, but that doesn't mean we're now money hats. It was very cool of Helios to send that stuff to us, but I've said in this very thread they've also handled this REALLY badly and it's unacceptable the game is in this state.

Lucius has stopped posting in this thread mostly, I assume, because he's not actually playing the game. Either that or he's now played so much Skyrim he's actually had a seizure, the massive loser.

I don't see the need for a title change, honestly. What is that going to achieve? Everyone who is interested in the game has been visiting this thread and knows about the issues. The irony of the current title is quite funny and with a patch incoming the game might actually not be broken any more. If this was a bigger game like Battlefield 3 I can understand changing titles for patch updates etc, but on GAF this is a niche title and as such it seems like a waste of time PMing a mod to change the title. That's why I, personally, always took the suggestion to change the topic title as something that wasn't worth it. It won't make the game unbroken and the content of the thread has been overly negative (rightly so) as it is. It's not like someone can read this thread and think the game is in a playable state.

So yeah, Lucius and I are definitely not restricted just because we got a free copy of the game and a t-shirt, so please don't suggest otherwise.

*You* have been pretty vocal about it. I didn't mention your name, did I?
I know you helped with the OP and you've done a great job with it but you're not the OP. Since my post was focusing on the title's change I didn't want to bring you in on that.

It's kinda telling seeing Lucius disappear from this thread, I think he's caught within two fires and while I know he's a good kid who was just genuinely excited for F1 2011, this, my friends, is why you should never get into close ties with the devs you're posting a vg's OT for before the game releases... especially if you're unwilling to risking pissing 'em off with telling it like it is (ie the game has been a travesty so far).
Don't accept "swag" and the game for free, 'cause it'll hunt you back and limit your freedom in the end.
Bollocks to you - that offends me. Me accepting swag and a free copy of a game for my contribution to an OT has nothing to do with it. Don't reduce me to that level of accepting gifts in return for publicisng the game. I made the ot in a way that showed it was from a fan, not a pr machine driven OT. Look at uncharted 3 OT for that. The reason I do not post is because I lost interest in the game as it was broken - simple as that.

If you think writing a few emails is getting close to a dev, forget it.

I simply don't post on gaf much as I used to thanks to work as a contributing factor.

I have been very vocal on the game, maybe not here as much as others, but if you joined in on our gaming sessions you will know how upset I am online is broken. Silence speaks volumes. My silence shows I don't care enough to post unless my integrity is called into question.

I'm sorry, but your post really irked me. I got excited for the game and got letdown. But don't ever think I was hooked in just for getting a game for free.

I'm sorry, you really took it the wrong way. I apologize for that, but that really isn't my opinion and especially the last paragraph.
I didn't mean (and I didn't say it) that you let yourself be "bribed" by CM or that you made the OT because of a vested interest in the game other than that of being a huge fan of F1 and the previous league you guys had on Steam (reports which I followed religiously on F1 2010 OT).
It did strike me as very odd you went from 95 posts to stopping completely when it was clear something was up.
You say silence speaks volumes, but I don't think you can be like that all the times, sometimes that really isn't enough I'm afraid, especially if you're part of a community and you decide to take the helm of a part of that community making an OT.
I don't think you've been vocal enough and I do think that if you felt the game is the travesty/scum plan that it is then you should have really been promoting and acting to get a title's change.
Why? Answer is just a few posts above, with Smoky Dave buying the game the other day, while we should've given every possible heads up (and more) to fellow gaffers that this game is just a coaster at this point, to at least contribute with possible means that our fellow members don't throw money away.
If you feel really that disappointed in the game I don't see how you're ok with being associated to the current OT's title.
And again, I never implied you swore protecting CM just for a game and some swag, I wrote that I believe yoirs eas just a work of passion, that of a genuine fan, while I did say that in my opinion you avoided kicking CM while in the mud out of gratitude to Helios for being cool with you guys.
But CM deserves all of that and more, they've proved to be scammers and nothing more.

Give him a break from what? Getting paid... What the fuck are you smoking?
A whole LOT of assumption? Ok, where?

I only see one. Which is there just until he comment on it (if he wants to) and maybe (or maybe not, it's fair) he sees my point and act to change the OT with some warnings at the top and the title itself.
I have NO problem at all with him nor I could ever say a bad thing about him as a member (I'm sure as a person too, but I don't know the guy irl). Look, read through the thread and see how many people have a problem with how this OT still presents the game.

Hijacking thread. Turning it into a dota 2 beta code begging thread.

Spoiler

i kid about the hijack

 

[Shaneus]

I can see what DK is getting at, but going at it completely the wrong way. I'd back a change in the thread title, but not necessarily to something that points at how buggy this game is. Perhaps something a little more in-line with F1 culture in general but not indicative of the quality of the game?

I think you put both too much responsibility on Lucius' shoulders and too much weight on topic titles.

• Until this last few days the thread has been dead.
• Because of this, no matter what the topic title was, it wouldn't have been seen.
• If you want to seek out GAF's opinion on a game, you should read the OT first and not rely on a topic title. I'd like to ask Dave if he did this, because his post read like he impulse bought it without even looking for Gaffer's opinions. If this was the case, again, no title in the world would've warned him. (Not crticising Dave for that)
• Again, on GAF, F1 is a niche title. The 2010 thread, like this one, was a bubble in which the same people visited the thread. If this was a Battlefield 3 type game with thousands of views per page I could agree with you, but it basically seems like a waste of time for the small F1 group on GAF. Plus, the irony of the title is pretty great.

To be honest, I hate the sub-titles of OTs as it is. You should read the damn thread rather than rely on a title to tell you everything you need to know. Every single post over the last 10 pages points towards this game being broke, which I think is enough. There's open discussion about all of the issues and anyone with a slight interest in the game have been able to find this thread and read about them.

I know you say I'm not the OT but Lucius and I did this together, so it's as much my responsibility mine as it is his. Just because he has the first post doesn't mean it's all on him, so don't act like it is.

How about this: we wait until the patch drops and see how the game is then. If it's still broke, we'll do a title change. If the game is okay, we'll leave it as it is. I think everyone will agree it's pointless changing a title when we're so close to a patch.

 

[Lucius86]

I honestly don't get some peoples mentality...

The game is BROKEN for online. A 2 min look at the thread shows this. I am not going off to pm a mod to change the name of the thread due to my own personal opinion. Some people still love it. Its not my style to bad mouth a game to the level you are asking. The thread title is an f1 joke.

We all have lives. I can dedicate only as much time as I can to the things I enjoy. F1 2011 is not one.

I am Commander Lucius and I am now done with this squabble.

This thread pops up fairly often.
If I as a GAFfer don't come in here because I'm just a casual racing fan who could buy the game for a good price (sale or whatever) you can rest assured that I'm gonna remember to at least wait on jumping on a sale if the title i see from time to time reads "F1 2011 Game is broken, don't buy now, hope for patch".
That's exactly why it makes even *more* sense for people like Smoky Dave who might buy the game on impulse.

I also don't understand the distinction between huge games and niche titles. A sale of a broken niche game is still a sale that we could, maybe, avoid or at least give an heads up.
But GAF as a huge EU/UK/AU community anyway and the game has been consistently on the charts there.
Again, I don't see the point tho.

I don't think putting something like I suggested in the title (eons ago tho, a lot of people in the thread were asking for a change) would have been pointless as you say, to be honest I think that and putting a big bolded red text at the top of the OP with a fair warning would have gone a long way.

But that is just my opinion of course, I stand by it like Lucius (I read your post above) stands by his, which is fair enough. He doesn't share my "extreme" views and think badmouthing a game that much is not appropriate, I think that putting out a broken game and looking at people spending fheir hard earned money like that is much worse and "badmouthing' a game (when deserved like in this case) is actually a good service for all those people that haven't fall for it yet.

Also, I wasn't putting anything more over Lucius' shoulders by referring to him and not to you, you seem to imply I was doing it to bring him down or something which is totally ridiculous, I've already said it's just a matter of the mods actually acting only If the request is made by the 'posted by' member and the fact it was a while I didn't see him around. Sorry, I didn't have an evil master plan to throw mud at Lucius, again I think he's a positive member of this boards, mine was a sincere disappointment for how things were going/seemed to be.

Hopefully we're clear now.
Let's wait for this patch, I wouldn't mind finally enjoying the great driving model and turning this coaster into a game.

P.S.
Shaneus, I don't see the point then nor I think that would be fair. The OP has the right to decide the title, and honestly I happen to think that this one in particular is a great inside-joke title (Zelda SS's one is terrible tho ).

Well said. The trend of trolling OTs and thread titles being changed on a whim is something I'd rather avoid here.

Anyway, the core group of us who played F1 2010 and intended on making the 2011 league are probably the most disappointed in the game and mostly why this thread has gone sour. The fact is that we were willing to commit to the game and making the best of the Gaf community but when the game turned out to be a disaster for online play, we could only hope for a speedy resolution. Codemasters instead have treated us with contempt and left a game that is basically broken for 2 months.

Why should Lucius FV or myself dedicate time to this thread while Codemasters have had to be chased for every tiny bit of information while leaving their game to rot? If this thread has failed, you only have one way to pinpoint the blame.

Don't get me wrong, I want F1 2011 to be fixed, and to get a league going, but Codemasters have burned through their good will they had built with myself dating all the way back to the days of Micro Machines.

 

[Dibbz]

I just want to say I have not played the online on F1 2011 but it looks like there are people out there that manage to sort leagues out for all platforms. I've just recently got back into playing it again, and have been watching some racing on youtube. You guys should check these guys out. Racing is fast a very clean.

[gragy10]

Everytime this thread gets bumped i think ithink the patch has been released

 

[SuicidalSteve]

Good news all, the #F12011 patch has been approved and is now slated for release on all platforms on Monday 21st November.

http://twitter.com/#!/Formula1game

and a finalized list of what the patch does:

Patch 2

Hi all,

I'm pleased to inform you all that the patch has now been approved by both Sony and Microsoft and is slated for release on all platforms on Monday 21st November.

As a result I've now updated the below patch notes with the finalised list of fixes.

Please note that there are technical restrictions on what we can and can’t patch, due to things such as size limits on patches, knock-on effects to other areas of the game and issues that were non-reproducible in our test environment, etc. Issues which currently fall into this category are updated DRS Zones and updated drivers.


Game Improvements:
o A connectivity rating display has now been implemented for each player in an online session lobby. This appears as coloured bars (red, amber, green) to indicate the expected online performance of the player in the game session.
o More network bandwidth is now reserved for game-critical systems in online sessions. This may result in low-bandwidth users having their voice chat restricted to fewer players, but should result in a smoother online experience.

Strategy & Setup:
o Fixed 11/11 car setup bug.
o Fixed issue where your race strategy uses the same tyre compound three times in a row & the final set are worn.
o Fixed issue where wear-based punctures would occur too often.
o Fixed various issues with the race engineer speech logic.

AI:
o Fixed an issue where the AI run on Intermediates for too long.
o Fixed issue where AI cars would be too fast in the wet.
o Fixed an issue where AI vehicles pitted too often during dry, online races .
o The AI has been tuned on several circuits to provide smoother and faster driving.
o Fixed issue where the AI’s sector 1 times in Malaysia were too slow

Co –op Championship:
o Fixed an issue with the save becoming corrupt / not able to invite the other player when playing long race weekends.
o Fixed an issue where AI difficulty was reset to “Amateur” level when resuming a Coop game.
o Fixed an issue with tyre wear in Practice/Qualifying not being carried over to Race.
o Fixed an issue with the penalties accrued in Practice/Qualifying not being applied to the Race.
o Fixed an issue with the Race Results where lapped AI are causing player to drop positions.

Online:
o Vote to Skip in Qualifying now requires 100% vote.
o Various Penalty system improvements have been made.
o Quick Race countdown timer is now set to 60 Seconds and no longer resets when a player joins the session.
o Fixed issue where host and client machines would report different qualification results during online games

Graphics & Performance:
o PS3 – Improved frame rate & performance.
o Xbox360 & PC - Numerous performance improvements have been made to increase frame rate and reduce stuttering.
o All Platforms – Numerous graphical improvements have been made.
o All Platforms – Fixed various issues to improve general game stability.

PC-specific:
o Fixed several functionality issues experienced when using DX11 cards.
o Fixed issue where users could hack specific files to increase car grip.

Other:
o Fixed a very infrequent issue where some sessions would be skipped over when progressing to the next session during a Long Race Weekend.
o Korea tyre compounds have been changed to those used in the 2011 race.
o Fixed an issue where in career where the "on the bounce" achievement was awarded after 11 race wins instead of 9.
o Fixed an issue where all users would be awarded the fastest lap XP and stat during some online races.
o Fixed an issue where driver's hands & head popped in a few frames late when switching cameras.
o Fixed issue where players were able to post extremely quick Time Trial times


To coincide with the release of the 2nd patch and the fixing of the 'setup bug', we are also going to be wiping the online leaderboards for both the time trial and time attack online game modes. These leaderboard wipes are currently scheduled for next week, and once we have a firm date for these we'll let you know straight away.

Once again our thanks for your patience whilst we worked on the 2nd patch and also for your valuable feedback.

http://community.codemasters.com/forum/f1-2011-general-discussion-1403/472966-patch-status-thread-updated-18-11-11-a.html

 

[HeliosT10]

Beat me to it SuicidalSteve!

Another point that's worth making is that to coincide with the release of the patch we're also going to be performing at some point next week a leaderboard wipe for the time trial and time attack online modes.

I really hope there is still enough interest here to get a GAF championship up and running post-patch. If I can help in any way just let me know.

 

[Fixed1979]

Wow first time here in awhile, WTF is Dash rambling about? That's a lot of spewed uncalled for vitriol.

Good to hear about the patch, it's unfortunate that it took such a long time and we're right in the middle of the crazy winter game releases. That said I'll definitely be trying this next week after the patch drops. And thank you for clearing the leaderboards, I was definitely concerned that this would drop and we'd still have a bunch of bad times at the top of the board.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

If all those fixes do as they state it should make the game great.

We'll have to test it next week, but if all is good I'll rush through plans for a smaller league. I doubt we'll get 16 people now so a quali session probably isn't needed, which make things easier.

 

[Dibbz]

Improved framerate for PS3? Hope it manages to stay at 30 most of the time. I'm kinda used to the drops now but it is a bit annoying.

I hope the DX11 bug fix is the one where it hardly ever fucking works despite saying DX11 in the config menu. That, and I hope it doesn't run like shit due to PCs running quad cores or dual GPUs or whatever.

 

[Staab]

Will gladly test the fixes next week, let's hope it makes the game enjoyable.

Better late than never... is what they say.

Gold man. Pure gold.

I'll be waiting for impressions. Hopefully be able to join the PS3 league, unless work and connection is good across the globe.

I do hope they support the game further with patches, if the second one has bugs unintentional or new ones crawl out.

[Sleeplessnights]

Don't hold your breath.

Wouldn't we need a patch to fix the DRS zones?

 

[AcridMeat]

Wouldn't we need a patch to fix the DRS zones?

I doubt Codemasters would pay Microsoft for a third patch just to fix the zones.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

I doubt Codemasters would pay Microsoft for a third patch just to fix the zones.

Surely it's not that expensive!

 

[1-D_FTW]

Surely it's not that expensive!

Has Codemaster's ever released a third patch for a GFWL title?

It doesn't matter if it's not a lot of money (which also requires the added expense of man hours creating the patch). The fact is it's going to make zero difference in sales. Is anyone sitting on the fence and saying 3rd patch to fix DRS or no buy? Codemasters is all about maximizing profits (even if it is short-sighted and hurts them long term) and that's an expense with zero immediate benefit.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I don't think inaccurate DRS zones really matters at all.

Get the game playable. All that matters. I understand them not having completely accurate DRS zones due to time constraints and launching before they were decided etc.

Not worth another patch.

 

[Diablohead]

I played this game again the other day and forgot that you can do 3 lap races in single player, I hate how 20% is not the minimum any longer. 20% was removed right? I forget.

I am really wanting this patch to be the golden one but I still worry since it's codemasters.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

I don't think inaccurate DRS zones really matters at all.

Get the game playable. All that matters. I understand them not having completely accurate DRS zones due to time constraints and launching before they were decided etc.

Not worth another patch.

Of course it's worth another patch, there's a reason why DRS zones change in real life, it renders DRS useless when there's a short or a single DRS zone.

I take it you're okay with the DRS zone in Singapore? There is no use staying in 1 sec in Singapore because of how short the DRS zone is. And the single DRS zones in Monza, Abu Dhabi and India?

I would say it would be ridiculous not to patch it and I'd be surprised if they ignore it, This is not a bug or an issue that can be overlooked, it's a feature.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Maybe "not worth another patch" was too strong, but it's not something I care too much about this time around. If I can play with people without bugs etc I'll be happy after the state of the game before.

I caught Lucius without double DRS last year and I shall do so again this year!

 

[Diablohead]

With a game like f1 and ever changing rules it would have been in good interest for codies to make some kind of on the fly updater for DRS zones, think weapon balancing in halo and gears when you first boot it up, it downloads a tiny text file with some co-ordinates in it.

 

[Staab]

I get the feeling they had actual more pressing matters to attend to rather than thinking about smart implementation of key features... like testing the game and stuff like that, you know

 

[1-D_FTW]

[Massa]

Improved framerate for PS3? Hope it manages to stay at 30 most of the time. I'm kinda used to the drops now but it is a bit annoying.

I couldn't take it myself. If they get a steady 30fps (with tearing, I don't care) I might pick up the game again.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Yeah. I'm not a graphics junkie so I'm not asking for 60FPS, just a steady 30FPS. I don't think that's too much to ask for.

 

[dinosaur_hunter2]

I don't think inaccurate DRS zones really matters at all.

Not worth another patch.

This. Also, I'm excited for our GAF League. Let's hope the patch fixes everything that was broken as stated by Helios. I'm even a little hyped!

EDIT: I'll post impressions of the PS3 patch as soon as it's released.

 

[Stop It]

I caught Lucius without double DRS last year and I shall do so again this year!

Indeed, I just want the game...playable. DRS zones being correct would be nice, but I can live with slightly wrong ones.

Anyway, I hope the game works ok tomorrow, I'll be around if anyone wants to test online with me.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I'm rather addicted to Dark Souls and Zelda at the moment, but I'll pull myself away for a while.

I get back from uni at 6:30ish (late lectures) so I'll be up for some testing then!

 

[NO_Quarter25]

Fixed issue where players were able to post extremely quick Time Trial times

I'm gonna hope this means no more corner cutting...never directly stated in the patch notes(unless i missed something)

You sort of address it, but the thing they don't get is that it WILL affect sales. Going on the assumption that all future Codies games will be excessively buggy yet will only get patched twice, I will not buy another of their games. However, if they pony up *this* time then it shows a tremendous amount of goodwill toward the end user and also shows that they would be willing to go the extra mile in the future in regards to our experience with their games.

Did anyone else see that F1 2011 is getting released for Vita... next year? Can't look good when a game with a year in the title is out of date by the time it comes out :lol

Did anyone else see that F1 2011 is getting released for Vita... next year? Can't look good when a game with a year in the title is out of date by the time it comes out :lol

It is a launch title in Japan in November 14, but since european release of Vita is in February, it have to wait for the console.

F12011 VIta is actually among the titles that will be presented on Vita "The World is in Play" premiere-press-event tomorrow in London, so expect some hands-on to appear here and there as soon as embargo lifts.

So the long-awaited patch has finally been released. I won't have the chance to try it myself until I get home tonight but I'm a bit concerned by this bug reported on the CM forum post-patch. Would anyone be able to try it out and confirm it?

Ok can others please confirm this is the same for them..

Short race weekend, Lotus, Career mode, Practice in Melbourne.

You are limited to 4 sets of each compound (as its a short weekend the Friday sets are unavailable) everything ok so far...

Select first set of Primes available (set 3) and do a run...no problem

Try for a second run selecting the same set of Primes, set 3 (about 96% now)

Return to garage, second set of Primes (set 4) now has a wear rate even though i never used that set....

Try for a third run (again selecting the original set i intend to use, set 3), return to garage and third set (set 5)now has wear on them...

Go for a fourth run again selecting original set (set 3), return and set 6 now has wear on them!!!!

So ive managed 4 runs in Practice on Primes, all 4 sets have wear on them even though i only ever selected one set (set 3)!!! My Qualifying and Race is now compromised!!!

Will try a 5th run on Primes and see which set it decided to add wear to!! Then try a couple of runs on Options and see if the same happens!!

Then go to Qualifying and see the extent of this bug!!!

How can this not be noticed, it was obvious after 20 minutes of playing!!

Are others seeing the same (and in Long weekend mode?!)

Nobody on my Steam list is playing this. Not a good sign.

I just got home from uni, so gimme a bit and I'll try and round up a few of yous for a couple of races if you're on Steam

That thread on Codies' forum regarding the tyre wear was NOT promising. 13 pages last time I checked. Also, not platform specific.

I'm gonna test it up tonight as soon as I leave work. I also think that, if all problems stated in Helios' post are indeed solved, the new bug described by Juicy Bob could be easily overlooked. I just hope more things are fixed than broken with this new patch.
