Apparently the code is in for private lobbies but they are still testing / verifying before they make it accessible

Thanks for the heads up. A couple of us were wondering since following the update we could not see where to create private lobbies. It was suspected this was the case though. Hopefully should be accessible soon.
 
Try reducing dynamic damping to 30%, 100% might be saturating and giving you clipping, you shouldn't feel less detail. I have a G29 and you have much more detail than before the patch. Before, not only was the steering too light for me, but you wouldn't feel any tyre slip and over flat kerbs, you wouldn't feel even the slightest vibration. Now, it's way better...

Physics and grip are exactly the same, improved FFB is either helping or you are just getting better at Mount Panorama... ;)

Hey man.

What's your new G29 settings all of the parameters ?
 
Not sure what's going on but I tried for a few laps this morning and the FFB felt fine. I just have to lower the gain.

I was driving the BMW not the Ferrari (I do set the rotation per car) so maybe its the car but I really don't know.

need more time to mess with it and try racing with other cars to see how the graphic changes and FFB really feel..

I guess the FFB change is really not that bad uness it's very different per car or rotation or has to do with resetting the bindings or anything like that.
 
I also believe that FFB is way worse now. Seems like it is much closer to GTS. More numb, more heavy. It also seems that some of physics have changed. The grip is huge now! The mountain in Mount Panorama can now be driven like GTS: no grip loss, no bumps, the wheel is always heavy and stable, specially on Forest Elbow, where I used to understeer a lot. I drove 5h there this week and after 5 laps with the new patch, I got my PB from 2:04 to 2:01.
I can’t help but feeling that they turned down realism to satisfy console user base.
That's lame if they turned down the realism..I'm gonna be forced to get a PC I guess

I agree, whilst slightly different I wouldn’t say it’s bad at all.

I did the same, lowered the gain by 5/10% and lowered the roads effects by 5%. Did a few races and the game feels awesome.
 
I’ve turned damping and road effects off completely. 19% gain (light wheel, but I like it), 2% minimum force and think it feels great. On G29 btw.

I’ve had dd road effects off from square one and imo it’s worse than pre update.
That doesn’t mean it’s bad by any stretch just not as good.
Pc vs next gen console is gonna be a tough call.
 
I didn't change any settings at all post patch and think it feels much the same as before. At first I thought road effects were less than before but I kept them the same in the end. Perhaps it altered the FFB for certain wheels but not all wheels?
 
Hey man.

What's your new G29 settings all of the parameters ?

Gain 40% (down from 70% pre-patch)
Minimum force 12%
Dynamic damping 30%
Road effects 15% (down from 20% pre-patch, might even lower it to 0)
Steer linearity 1.00
Brake gamma 1.00
 
I think you have to readjust the ingame force feedback settings. The FFB is vastly improved for me with a G29.

Yeah might be clipping, the only thing I use is gain, Ill try turning it down tonight.
I just reeeaally hope their comment about making ffb apprpriate for console users wasn’t a nerf, kinda felt to me like it was, but then again I need to put in more time post update.
Even on csl the game was close to clipping pre update in the+- 65 gain range on certain corners.
I hope they keep that sweet intuitive feel it has when you’re in the window of good tire operation.
 
I don't have a powerful enough PC to play that version and try it myself, but streamers that use both versions are saying they can now use the same settings in PC and PS4 and it feels the same, so I guess there was no nerf.
 
Honestly, this update lowered so much the resolution in PS4 Pro, that now it's a game breaker for me.

Set your display output in PS4 settings to 1080p. You’ll be stuck with 30fps but will have a much crisper image. They’ve ironically lowered the resolution in 4K mode to get the higher FPS so it seems to be confusing a lot of people.

Thanks, I will try that.

So, the choices are:

1080 and 30fps OR 4K (auto) and higher FPS?

I'm on a PS4 pro with a 4K TV

Yes. Be interesting to hear your feedback on the 4K 60fps mode. Specifically if the image looks soft, even on a 4K TV.
 
Unfortunately, I've deleted the game from my PS4 Pro. I was really enjoying the game, even at 30 fps. I didn't ask for the ffb changes and the graphics are now a washed out blurry mess. I'll reinstall when we have the choice in performance; fps or resolution. For me, this patch has made the game worse. Very disappointed.

Not to mention, the communication from the developer and/or publisher is pretty shocking. Just my opinion.

You have a Pro so you do have a choice! 1080p30 or a rather soft looking 4K60fps. Been explained on here quite extensively...
 
Shame they don’t give us the option of using the 4K 30fps mode or the blurry mess 60fps mode. I was perfectly happy with how it played in 4K 30fps and now it looks terrible. 1080P 30fps isn’t a compromise or solution as the 4K version looked better.

Exactly.
 
I'm happy with how it turned out, it's playable for me now!

The fps before was far below 30 at most times, so stuttery (PS4 Pro). That and the input lag made me nauseous. Both causes have been adressed to a great degree.
Unfortunately, that sharpness has taken a hit, but at least now I have a great game I can play, with amazing physics. If the game remained like before, it would have been money wasted for me as I couldn't play it at all.

I'd like to thank the developers for addressing the bugs. I hope some optimization can be done for the sharpness, but not to the detriment of fps and input lag and physics/ffb. If that's not possible, I'm perfectly happy with how it is now. 👍
 
So guys if you dont have a 4k tv setup you cant get the higher framerates on the pro?......grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Oh well I sold this quite soon after launch, I was getting excited about the higher framerates I was reading about, but I only have a 1080 tv for my pro...I nearly ended up buying it again...

You can. Just turn on supersampling.

It’s a game changer.

The performance is so much better that I would really consider buying it again.
 
I had an competition race at Hungaroring with 19 opponents yesterday. With 1080p and supersampling the performance is still not good after 1.03. Still a lot of stuttering in slow corners. Very exhausting for my eyes.

I see not much improvements on Hungaroring or Zolder for example...
