Codemasters have released another new patch for F1 2017, keeping up an impressive rate of development since releasing the latest official Formula One title.
Deployed today to PC, the patch brings with it some very useful fixes to a selection of the main issues still lingering within the new title. Credit where credit is due to Codemasters, the British development team have worked hard behind the scenes to bring new updates and hotfixes to Formula One 2017 since it released to the public back in August, and the level of community interaction and ongoing big fixing is a very pleasant change of philosophy for the long standing game makers, again showing signs of Codemasters intentions to lift themselves out of a (racing) game making doldrums that seem to have plagued the studio for the past few years.
It is worth noting that multiplayer stats will be wiped clean in future weeks once all current platforms hosting the game have received the latest update. Xbox One and PlayStation 4 build updates are currently going through the respective approvals process.
Build 1.6 Update Notes
- Players losing vibration / force feedback in multiplayer
- Grid penalties for changing parts now apply correctly when reforming the grid after a formation lap
- AI will no longer post single sector times as lap times at Monaco
- Improved texture quality on PS4
- Stats for Public Multiplayer now work correctly (we will, however, be wiping the leaderboards in due course)
- Added Polish subtitles
- AI drivers will suffer reliability issues in Championships mode
- Various crash fixes
Additional Info
Our internal QA team found to still be present, though we are continuing to investigate:
- Fixed dark patches / shadows seen when on track
