F1 2015 F1 2015 The Game Released

[Bram Hengeveld]

Just a little while ago Steam unlocked F1 2015 and the annual Formula 1 game is now released in Europe for Windows PC players.

North American's have to be a little more patient and wait for 11 more days until the game releases on the 21st of July 2015 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam for PC. (Update: Seems that Americans are getting lucky with a Steam release today as well.)

The central game mode this year is the all-new Championship Season, which according to the developers promises to deliver the most immersive F1 experience yet, thanks to an all-new ‘broadcast presentation’ style that recreates the unique race day atmosphere of a Grand Prix.

The upcoming weekend will be used by thousands of race fans to enjoy the first moments in the game and below you find some handy links and tips to enhance your experience!

Is this version going to be modable or not?

There's a lot of modding god's looking into this issue.I have complete faith in them.Come on guys you can do it.

Ive put in around 12 hours so far. I have not managed to complete a single race due to other cars simply driving up behind me and ramming into me the moment DRS is enabled. I'm on the racing line flat out on a straight and next thing i know im flying towards a wall because the car behind me wont go around me. It just tries to go through me every race.

Also every time I exit the game it tries to start up again.

same here. i find this absolutely shocking. i cannot understand how a business in any form, especially one with intelligent people involved (you must be to produce coding right?), can produce such a bug prone incomplete game!

This is the worst yet

Do an integrity check, it will fix it, also will do a 6MB update pach

 

[the_sigman]

Is it that bad?

 

[jasamnajbrzinasvijetu]

I tired to play, graphics are horrible, sound sux, handling is the worst, cockpit cam is childish. This year they managed to destroy every aspect of the game.
Well Done Codies.
I had some hope after hearing about Dirt handling improvements.
This is the worst racing game I have ever played in my life.
They should list F1 2015 in here.

sadly all of those classics have better handling than Code ARCADE Masters games.

Haha brilliant!

Actually, I managed to get it working with some new Windows 10 drivers. Everything to the max and motion blur off in the XML file, works like a charm and looks pretty good .

How did you manage to turn the motion blur off, even tweaking the xml doesnt seem to work,...
Anyone managed to do that!

I haven't had any crashes or bugs in several hours of play and getting fps 80+ all Ultra settings. Also no problems with the ai in a couple quick races at Mexico and Melbourne. I think it is reasonably good with potential to improve and heaps better than F1 2014 but 2013 was also pretty good. For an arcade Formula One game it is ok but would be good for another developer to take the license and make a proper F1 Simulation.

The car physics is the worst I have ever seen. Someone bumps into you even with low speed and you fly and turn around like some cheap plastic toy but almost nothing get destroyed when you hit something.
That's so ridiculous. Can't get being able to change the damage at least.

 

[Deleted member 161052]

So I've done a straight line speed test on all 2014 and 2015 cars at Monza, and then I saw that...the Force India is the fastest car in the game, reaching over 360 km/h! (actually, the 2014 Force India reached 361 and the 2015 one 360)
Well, the Force India IS the fastest car in the game even if Williams were supposed to be the fastest.

 

[ParkYongLee]

I can't wait for CM to patch the impact engine, I mean seriously besides the plastic toycar spinning you don't really get feedback when you lost your frontwing, you just start to feel the car drives shoo but there's no real audio or vibration like in the games before.

someone else getting THIS white screen only?

Hi everyone. Can I change race distance in Championship season? I want long weekend (Full Q), but I don´t want 100% race distance. Thanks.

 

[Paul McCluskey]

Really? Oh man that sucks... Maybe you need a doctor?

uh you asked what it stood for, and you came out with that reply

No you cant, if you choose full qualies, you have to do 100% race.

Anybody knows whether Codies add SLI support or it should be fixed by Nvidia?
