[ember bough]

No idea how Zhou got the fastest lap on hards but we move.

[ionic flume]

and stole redbulls engineering director

[lavish wasp]

Anyone bought F1 Manager 22 ?? Is it worth it ?

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @lavish wasp, you're now on lap 5

[ionic flume]

its worth it

ten times over

so coo

l

[lavish wasp]

great thinking of buying it too

[ionic flume]

you defo should

so much fucking fun

[lavish wasp]

cool

[river condor]

seb im proud of you

fastest on hards

[misty sandal]

how lmao

[river condor]

0s lap

im proud of aston's progress

[ionic flume]

and this kids is why its still a preorder early access game

oh shit ric is so fucking "ha, gotcha" in this game
i was thinking about dropping him when he had a couple of seconds to lando

and then he put in a monster lap that put him on 1st

[river condor]

and for some reason seb is like 5tenths off lando every lap

or 1s

seb is 2sec off lando in practice

with a higher confident

[ionic flume]

he old asf

[low wren]

1000%

[ember bough]

Not bad.

Not bad at all.

[ionic flume]

why is everyone and their grandmother's friend's uncle's nephew's goldfish doing an alfa romeo career

[ember bough]

Because they're in an interesting position with a good looking car to boot.

[ionic flume]

true

[ember bough]

Plus I like Bottas and Zhou and I wanted something different from McLaren.

[low wren]

doing Williams

[fading dragon]

Only 35 on cd keys if you wanna save a few https://www.cdkeys.com/pc/f1-manager-2022-pc-steam

[ember bough]

Somehow Zhou got fastest lap 👀

[river condor]

nice game we got here

gear box glitching

first i started my second gearbox at fp1

then seb crashed on first lap

and i got him another one

and my 3rd gearbox died within 2 fp

and no crashes

[drowsy steeple]

game actually looks good

[drowsy steeple]

bro f1 manager sucks driver locks up and waits for like everyone to pass him

george went from p6 to p14 despite all he had to do was continue driving and it wouldnt of been bad

[candid vine]

yeah i had the same with ocon

he was p11 and looking good for points but he spun and went to p20

[river condor]

seb is not in my plan

too slow

piastri is replacing him

lando is up there at p12

and he is 20s behind albon

[lyric scaffold]

Two good races

[candid vine]

i suck so fucking badly in mclaren

i can barely score points

the highest i've been is P6 with lando

[lyric scaffold]

I got lucky with those two races or I’m just a good strategist

First 2 races were bad lol

[candid vine]

well the p6 with lando was a lucky one too

i told him to pit in his pit window and at the moment he was entering the pits the sc came out

[drowsy steeple]

just me or does having push on fuel actually saves more than balanced

like im gaining while having it on push

[candid vine]

im loosing fuel when on balanced

and i have to switch to the saving mode

[drowsy steeple]

hamilton just went from +1.5 to +4 extra fuel on push mode

[candid vine]

in some races i mean

i just go from +1,5 lap to -1 lap

[drowsy steeple]

im at imola so its got a lot of corners to gain the fuel so I see why

[candid vine]

yeah maybe

on singapore only one car had the fuel problem

and on suzuka both of them

otherwise its okay

im staying positive on balanced fuel mode

[drowsy steeple]

fair

ive just watched perez and hamilton go side by side for 2 sectors

[candid vine]

yea like im barely scoring points in the mclaren

ocon isn't doing the best but hes still doing better than ricciardo did

i mean its almost double points

[lyric scaffold]

Both into Q3 at Miami hopefully I get another good race

[drowsy steeple]

why is everyone doing mclaren

[lyric scaffold]

Idk I’m doing them because there are well balanced in game

[drowsy steeple]

6 laps left

perez on mediums

[fervent depot]

the good ending

[low wren]

stay on balanced for long and you'll gain

[low wren]

daniel ahead of lando

nice

[candid vine]

im doing 3 saves

[low wren]

u bought the game 3 times?

[candid vine]

im doing ferrari but im winning everything and williams where im in the bottom 5 all the time

no

[fervent depot]

lando is so finished in this save

[candid vine]

i just have

[fervent depot]

bro cant finish a race

[candid vine]

3 save files

[drowsy steeple]

hes right on hamilton now but his softs are done now

[candid vine]

and i wnated something in the middle so

i went for mclaren

[low wren]

ric is so finished in mine, in a fucking williams i challenge him some races

[fervent depot]

i frauded a hamilton win because there was a safety car with 6 laps left and for some reason the AI decided not to pit when i put him on softs

[low wren]

But my average experience in Williams is:
Albon P18
Hauger P19 or P20 fighting with Stroll

[fervent depot]

mercedes is an unexpectedly fun save

[drowsy steeple]

lmao the backmarkers just stopped perez from overtaking

[fervent depot]

ofc you signed hauger

[drowsy steeple]

now hes 2 seconds behind thanks to stroll

[low wren]

first thing i did

-latifi +goatger

[fervent depot]

all i’ve done is replace mid de mid with piastri

[low wren]

W

then I also replaced Aitken with Sargeant

[drowsy steeple]

nvm perez got through w 3 laps

[fervent depot]

monumental W

i’m gonna be depressed when i do imola and go back to p4-p5 every race until the upgrades arrive

[ionic flume]

fire daniel

[drowsy steeple]

good result despite george locking and dropping to p14

[lyric scaffold]

Maybe next season

[drowsy steeple]

and hamilton defending perez on fresh softs for 10 laps

[fervent depot]

W

[ionic flume]

i already fired him for gasly

3 races in

he was doing horribly

like legit pure drowning

[fervent depot]

he’s slapping norris in my save somehow

i mean they both have 0 points but he’s always above him

[ionic flume]

ric had a good fp3 result once

but it meant nothing

he was p1 but he did not do shit in the race

also i replaced him with gasly

and then also got gasly's old engineer so they have a good morale

also how do you have more than 1 save at a time, i really want to do soemthing silly but not lose this save

[lyric scaffold]

Daniel is doing alright for a 2nd driver he over took Perez at the last corner

[lyric scaffold]

Make a new save

[ionic flume]

whats hte maximum amount of saves i can have

[lyric scaffold]

50

[ionic flume]

DAMN'

[sharp rose]

So somehow I'm a title contender with alpine

That's nice

[fervent depot]

so close

[keen brook]

Meanwhile I'm still waiting for the game.

[keen gyro]

same

cant wait for it

[keen brook]

yeah same

The more I hear from it, the more the waiting sucks.

[low wren]

is it me or are my drivers just making way too many mistakes

both of my drivers spun this race and ran wide multiple times

and not only this race, weekend after weekend they always spin

[keen brook]

Maybe just the car is shit.

Who are your drivers?

[low wren]

Hauger and Albon

like Hauger, ok he can make mistakes

But I don't get why Albon makes mistakes constantly

[keen brook]

OK, then it's really the car or setup.

[low wren]

they both had 90%+ in setup confidence and the car is bad, but it shouldn't make them do more silly mistakes, no?

It might be harder to drive, but having them make mistakes from week to week is so irritating. Especially when you're fighting for Like P14 and then you're back into P18

[fervent depot]

be me

bring 2 upgraded rear wings to miami

russell crashes and breaks one 5 minutes into FP1

hamilton actually has pace now though so gg upgrade

[languid falcon]

This GP has the best fans

[fervent depot]

good bot

[swift lion]

[true panther]

This gives me hope for quali

[fervent depot]

never trust practice times my friend

[true panther]

fair point

thats on mediums tho so

[bitter finch]

Practice be giving people false hope

[true panther]

sadly

[bitter finch]

Haas took a 1-2 in all of the FP sessions at Monaco for me, come quali and they both get knocked out in Q1

[true panther]

DAMN

okay

sad

bro goatifi just frucking crashed

lMao

[fervent depot]

latifi spun out under a safety car in my save

shit was hilarious

[ionic flume]

i just did such a big brain strategy call

[true panther]

LMAO

[ionic flume]

on my rb career

gave checo a huge undercut which suits his tyre-saving whilist pushing well

soft-hard-soft

[ionic flume]

and gave max soft-medium-soft

pitted on lap 17 which worked perfectly

[fervent depot]

ultra realism

[fervent depot]

bro is more qualified than the entirety of ferrari

[ionic flume]

currently P2-P3 but we're generally p1-p2 as leclercs gonna pit soon

it should give us a very nice 1-2 finish if checo has no issues

as everyone competetive is on a 2 stop

[fervent depot]

perez seems to be horrible in my save, i’ve got russell outqualifying him in a non upgraded car 💀

[ionic flume]

and everyone who will be ahead of us after the 2nd round of stops are slower cars which we'll simply catch up to with raw pace

as i have softs

[ionic flume]

💀

in my save perez aint a good qualifier but insanely good pace rn

[ionic flume]

you didnt have to violate em like that

[true panther]

bro why are hards slow as shit no matter what track conditions there are

[fervent depot]

even his race pace isn’t great, i usually manage to get P4 by just sticking in his DRS all race then pushing to overtake at the end

[fading dragon]

Heading into the summer break pulling off Merc miracles

[ionic flume]

what

[true panther]

yeah i get it they arent gonna be insanely fast but like holy shit

[fading dragon]

One thing tho

[ionic flume]

i got a fastest lap with lando in a non upgraded mclaren

in jeddah

[fervent depot]

now i’ve got a new rear wing my top speed is actually not shambolic so hopefully i can get a non fraudulent race win

[fading dragon]

Safety cars absolutely busted in this game

[ionic flume]

i got a safety car in jeddah in my mclaren career

caused by latifi

in the same place he crashed in irl

i wish i recorded it

[fading dragon]

Safety cars stuck on masi mode no lapped cars overtaking

It's so dumb

[fervent depot]

the AI also never do free stops under safety car

[ionic flume]

its early access after all

[fervent depot]

which is how i got my one and only win

[ionic flume]

there will be a day one patch fo sho

[ionic flume]

in mine they do all the time

[true panther]

I am yet to see a red falg

flag

I am 4 races in

[ionic flume]

you never had a crash big enough

[fading dragon]

"it's early access" doesn't work 3 days before "release" this is release, tired of hearing that nonsense

[fervent depot]

i had 6 laps left and the only team that pitted was me 😭

[true panther]

I am aware

I wish I could cause one

[ionic flume]

its gonna have a day one patch lmao

almost every new game has one

dont panic

[fading dragon]

This isn't some early access title, reviews are out

[fervent depot]

it is early access to be fair to them

[ionic flume]

it'll get a day one patch. it'll get updated.

[fervent depot]

f1 manager has red flags yes

i’ve only ever had one in practice

[fading dragon]

"it will be patched" is so classic gamer shit, I mean it might be, but you guys have been playing video games in this current industry right?

[river condor]

lets gooo

lando p6 in my aston save

[fading dragon]

Like come on guys

[fervent depot]

frontier are usually very good at taking on feedback and getting it fixed asap (unlike a certain other f1 developer) which is why i’m not as angry as the bugs as i would be

[fading dragon]

I'm not angry

[fervent depot]

well disheartened ig

[fading dragon]

But, I have no idea if they will fix that safety cars immediately

[river condor]

tbh everything except race is good

[fading dragon]

Or anything else

[keen brook]

Because it is early access, the release is on 30th.

[true panther]

day 1 patch maybe?

[keen brook]

You know what early access means?

[fervent depot]

i’ve been playing their games a while and they’re one of very few modern devs that do make an effort to fix bugs and broken shit, in their discord they do have a bug reporting link for that exact reason

[fading dragon]

And this isn't early access, they were marketing the release date as the 25th basically, whatever patch they have for day 1 is already set to go, shit doesn't work like that

[keen brook]

Early access means being able to play the game before it's finished.

[fading dragon]

You have no idea what early access is lmao

[fervent depot]

i wouldn’t say it’s not finished but it’s got a few things that need ironing out

[river condor]

the crash

[fading dragon]

Early access is a steam release thing they've had for years where you can buy a game months or years before it's finished, not 5 days

[fervent depot]

they are marketing it as early access right now tbf

[fading dragon]

Bro

[ionic flume]

its gonna have a lot of polish

in updates

[fading dragon]

You have no clue if that's true

[ionic flume]

its a newly released game, its pretty damn obvious it is not fully finished

[fading dragon]

I hope it is

[ionic flume]

considering how big the community of it is

it will defo get ironed out

[fading dragon]

Hope so

[ionic flume]

we gotta be hopeful

i wont lie the experience rn is very enjoyable tho

[river condor]

i mean the game is already better than f1 22

[ionic flume]

this

[fervent depot]

not hard

[ionic flume]

genuinely

so much of a better game

[fading dragon]

What I'm trying to say is, the Industry doesn't work where you start a patch for something 5 days before release, so any "day 1" patch is something they did without feedback from the pre order early shit

[ionic flume]

id genuinely say this is THE game of 2022 so far imo

[river condor]

and this is the first game in the series

so yea

[keen brook]

I legit bought a game whilst it was in early access, so I know what it is.

[fading dragon]

Apparently not

[bitter finch]

It’s a full release build (obviously) you just get it early

[fading dragon]

Yes

Lmao

[bitter finch]

F1 22 on the other hand

[fervent depot]

f1 22

[ionic flume]

the ea f1 series is a lost cause at this point

[fading dragon]

For sure this is better than shitty Codie's f1 game

[ionic flume]

im probably never ever buying another codies/ea f1 game again

[bitter finch]

In the next title, they should improve the menus.

[ionic flume]

and stick to the manager experience

[river condor]

they just need to add more animations

[bitter finch]

I’m used to triple a titles having nice and easy menu navigation, so my first day on this game was a struggle

[river condor]

there is only locking up crashes and spin crashes

so we need more

[bitter finch]

I be getting lost in the R&D shit 😭

[fading dragon]

Honestly it's super streamlined for like, management kinda games

Like compared to say football manager

[ionic flume]

kinda wrong

[fading dragon]

It could be better tho

[bitter finch]

Manager games in general seem to have messy menus

[fervent depot]

as a console player i’m shocked at how streamlined it is for controller

which was my main fear tbh

[ionic flume]

theres failed divebombs

and uhhh

[river condor]

thats the points

[ionic flume]

yea we need more stuff

[river condor]

well

[fading dragon]

I've seen failed divebomb crashes a few

[ionic flume]

are there mechanical failures?

[fervent depot]

theres also cars randomly catching fire

[river condor]

mostly what i saw is just locking up and weaving to cause a crash

[river condor]

?

[bitter finch]

Those crash physics though

lmao

[river condor]

and a glitch fucked seb up

[ionic flume]

its a managment game

[fervent depot]

there’s mechanical failures where the engine just combusts into flames

[fading dragon]

But first things on the fixing list for races gotta be the safety cars working where lapped cars don't pass and the order is all fucked, the safety car advantages p1 which is hilarious cause that's not real life

[bitter finch]

no I know

[river condor]

bro 2 gear box killed themself

[fervent depot]

i had one with norris

[river condor]

in 1 race

[bitter finch]

I just find it funny when they do crash

[ionic flume]

but i do agree

[fading dragon]

Then the ai blocking on every fucking quali lap needs to be fixed

[ionic flume]

they do need to step the crash physics up imho

[river condor]

like fr

[ionic flume]

it breaks the immersion when it hits the wall and just kinda 🗿's into it without any movement

[river condor]

how do u keep moving after ramming ur car into a wall at 200kmh

[fading dragon]

Fair to say, gotta get more fundamental shit handled imo tho

[ionic flume]

tbh

[river condor]

its only the front wing that is broken after crashing in 200kmh

[ionic flume]

im just enjoying the experience

and looking past the flaws

[river condor]

same

[fading dragon]

It's good

[ionic flume]

because of how cool it is

[river condor]

but sometimes

i am so angr

y

[fading dragon]

I'm more critical of stuff I like tho

[river condor]

fucking lance stroll

[ionic flume]

i didnt go far enough into it

[fading dragon]

Like I want it to be the best it can be

[ionic flume]

to notice many flaws

[ionic flume]

same

[river condor]

tbh

dont take this too seriously

this is the first game

first f1 manager

[ionic flume]

true

[fading dragon]

Fixing the safety cars and making blue flags/ ai not blocking you in quali would go a long way for me

[true panther]

W

[river condor]

so maybe wait for next year

and everything will become great

[ionic flume]

piere 👍

[fading dragon]

Some snafu happened with blue flags at Monaco where I lost like 15 seconds drying to get past lappers it was madness

[river condor]

outpacing russell in a mercedes for the p6 is just good

[keen brook]

At least the manager game managed to understand that Zhou is his surname despite being his 1st name.

Like in F1 22 there always stands Guanyu.

[neat bluff]

what facilities are best to update first

[keen brook]

instead of Zhou

[true panther]

Tsunoda is giving me troubles with his setup

cant get it above 80%

sadly

[keen brook]

So the manager game proofs that it is possible that for one driver it can be the other way round.

[neat bluff]

tsunoda managed to spin TWICE in my race

[river condor]

8 points in a aston before canada is just good

pure skill from me

[true panther]

damn

[neat bluff]

he couldve been 9th but ok then -_--

what facilities are best to update first

everyone has bad races tho

[river condor]

well

lando did worst

he locked up and crashed on the same lap

he was in p11

after lockup p13

and he managed to crash

[river condor]

just fire him

get vips

[true panther]

I had Pierre spin in australlia and he still managed to get p11 because I pit both tsunoda and Pierre early for inters lol

Tsunoda got p7

[ionic flume]

do not let that man anywhere near lewis hamilton

[river condor]

my first thing was firing stroll

and get lando in

that cost me 20m

but it paid off

[true panther]

20 MIL

WHAT

god damn

[river condor]

break contract

[true panther]

ohhh

[river condor]

lando is expensive you know?

[ionic flume]

i remember when i made a redbull career where i hired latifi for perez as my first save for shits and giggles

[river condor]

but he showed me that seb cant stay in aston

[ionic flume]

then sent him out on wets in bahrain

[river condor]

seb was good before lando came in

and now im thinking of replacing him for piastri

he will be slower in his first year

[ionic flume]

replace him for alonso

because alonso is cool

[river condor]

if he doesnt sign a new contract in alpine

then yes

i dont want to spend another 5mil

[ionic flume]

then poach him up quick

[river condor]

nando is 41

so yea

i wont spend 5m on him

i will get him if he doesnt sign a new contract tho

[ionic flume]

i poached a ferrari aero engineer and redbull head of engineering in mclaren

[river condor]

how

dont think thats possible

[ionic flume]

pain

[river condor]

"negative outlook towards your team"

[ionic flume]

also

perez just dummy moved sainz on a straight in bahrain

it was such a good fucking move

wish i recorded it again

leclerc locked up

verstappen still leading

FUCK PEREZ SPUN

[river condor]

they should lower the chance of spinning

except for some drivers

[ionic flume]

nah imo

theyre all balanced

latifi spins more than max

etc

but god im so glad i bought this game

this is one of the best game experiences ive had in a while

intense too

and mind game-y, you have to adjust to enviroments, all that shit, its so wonderful

[jolly geyser]

finally got a good start in this game

[fervent depot]

back to back podiums, hamilgoat realism

[fading dragon]

I got ham leading the drivers championship after Budapest somehow lmao

In my save red bull is fucking up like real life Ferrari

[fervent depot]

mine’s just close as fuck between the top 3 teams

minus perez who is being a bozo every race

[fading dragon]

Yea I'm in third in the WCC but it's by like 10 points

And Perez is absolutely a bozo every race

[fervent depot]

bro got outqualified by big george russell

[fading dragon]

Also contribute to this and help the cause

https://issues.frontierstore.net/

[fervent depot]

i have already logged many

i’m in their discord server

[fading dragon]

Oh can you link me to that when you get a chance, I forgot about discord

Ironically

[fervent depot]

i’ll dm an invite

[drifting grove]

ffs

pourchaire crashed the car in fp1

the car we put a brand new PU in

[neat swan]

W

[true panther]

hopefully I can do this shit in quali

lmfao

I finally got yukis setup over 80%

fuck

[drifting grove]

only took till mexico for amr to score points

P9 from stroll

and you guessed it: daniel ricciardo has not scored points yet

[fervent depot]

actual good championship fight

[ionic flume]

trust me you wont be able to
fp3 is always decieving

i had ric top the timing sheet once and end up 14th

in fp3

[waxen socket]

🐐

[fervent depot]

why does that look so cursed

[ionic flume]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCK MY F1 MANAGER CRASHED

IN THE MIDDLE OF A RACE

[waxen socket]

He needs to perform

He got 1 podium and now refuses to go p5

[waxen socket]

😭😭

[ionic flume]

AND A FUCKING AMAZING ONE AT THAT

LIKE I DID A BIG BRAIN OVERCUT HARD TYRE STRAT

[fervent depot]

russell for me because the fucker keeps crashing and breaking my upgrades

[ionic flume]

good strategies?

made a longer stint for perez because he can save tyres very well

[fading dragon]

I use the basic ones it gives you and just modify on the fly based on how the tyres are doing and it's worked for me

[drifting grove]

no matter what happens

no matter how dominant ferrari was this season

or how good red bull was in the runners up spot

lewis hamilton still managed to win a wet brazillian grand prix

[ionic flume]

FUCK

why do i always have such bad luck

verstappen locked up and lightly hit the wall

unless we get another safety car verstappen is doomed

[waxen socket]

Why did I ever sign sainz

He is so bad in quali

[ionic flume]

what team

oh yea

alpine

[drifting grove]

ok going into abu dhabi gp now

ferrari ending this season with almost double the amount of points red bull has

so uh

i think thats a success

the copium really helped us with this championship

[ionic flume]

yall hear me out

f1 manager 22 is THE racing game release of the year so far

maybe even the overall best game release of the year so far for people like us

[lucid lichen]

hopefully it can be nominated to goty

[waxen socket]

It won’t

[ionic flume]

yup

hear me out

its just

it has that something in it

it has soul, it has the vibe of being an actual team leader, no f1 life couch nonsense, just pure immersion, intensity, stress, difficult decisions, live strategy changes you have to make in a smart way

its insane

[lyric scaffold]

Clean?

[ionic flume]

GUYS

WE GOT A SAFETY CAR

WE GETTIN THOSE MAX POINTS TODAY

[dark widget]

Is F1 manager worth the price?

[ionic flume]

it is worth the price 10x over

[ionic flume]

messy asf

[lucid lichen]

basically a game that perfected features that other games didnt work into

[dark widget]

I'll wait for the sale then

[ionic flume]

why

its worth it highkey

ive been unable to play anything just due to hwo good it is

[dark widget]

Yeah but it'll be in the summer sale soon

[fading dragon]

Summer sale?

[dark widget]

Yes they do the summer sale on Xbox once summer is coming to an end

[ionic flume]

its a game made to appeal to the "other guys" that appealed to every f1 player

[fading dragon]

It's only 35 on cd keys but that's for PC chads only

[dark widget]

considering it'll be like £25 for me in September

It's easier

[lyric scaffold]

Yes but a save still

[ionic flume]

oh no
pc elitist

jk

anyway

[ionic flume]

oh shit

if you meant a save

then thats nice asf

[lyric scaffold]

Thanks

[fading dragon]

I have a PS5 as well, but I mean sure, PC is the elite platform if it's an option

[ionic flume]

yea ik im just joking lol

i have a pc aswell

[dark widget]

I can't play games on pc really

I don't have an gaming computer

It's mainly for my coursework in school

Since I'm going into yr 10 my mum and dad got me one

[lucid lichen]

my pc is a shitbox but I still consider it the superior platform

[dark widget]

So I just play on my series x

[fading dragon]

PC gaming is extremely expensive now, even with the mining boom ending

It used to be better like 10 years ago when I was a teenager lmao

You could build something that BTFO the PS3 for like 600 bucks

Even 6ish years ago you could build something that BTFO the PS4 for like 700

[ionic flume]

expensive?

ehhh

wouldnt say its that expensive personalyl

[fading dragon]

I mean it's objectively more expensive a hobby than it used to be

[lucid lichen]

depends on the country tho

[fading dragon]

So I'm not sure where opinion comes into it

[ionic flume]

i paid 1.5k dollars for my 3060 ti, i5 11400f 32 gigs of ram pc

in poland

[ionic flume]

it is MORE expensive due to tech evolving

its not expensive if you consider all the evolution

[fading dragon]

I mean previous generations a 3060 ti level card wasn't 500 dollars

That's just not even true lmao but ok

[ionic flume]

hmmm

actually

fair point

i basically dont really see how expensive it truly is from what i noticed

[fading dragon]

Like 60 level card in the stack used to be the most value for your dollar tier option that was like 200 dollars us retail

[ionic flume]

i wasnt around the pc market around those times

i was a gaming laptop dude

[fading dragon]

Likey first card ever, a 560 ti

[ionic flume]

i still regret getting it

[fading dragon]

I mean laptops have always probably been a scam ironically pre built stuff is better value now depending on the quality of components than it used to be

[ionic flume]

i actually got a "pre-built"

(i didnt built it but i got it custom made with an actina exterior)

and i got a better processor for less of a price

plus ram

[fading dragon]

My first PC was like, a 560ti, intel 2500k i5, the 2500k still ran strong for a lot of people until now

[ionic flume]

than an asus prebuilt

[fading dragon]

Until the last few months pre built was a good option considering the scalping

[bitter finch]

new gpus come out this year and we aint even comfortably situated with the current gpus yet

[ionic flume]

i dont get the prebuilt stigma though'

it runs the same for like, very little cost more than buying it yourself

[true panther]

p4 p3 sessions

watch me get p10 q1

[fading dragon]

Well there are some really crappy pre built companies

[true panther]

lmao

[fading dragon]

That use inferior stuff that you should avoid

And for many years only those kinds companies made pre builts

So there is a stigma and some of it is valid

And some of it isn't where people think you're like a more serious PC person for building it yourself

[fading dragon]

Nvidia and and are shitting bricks trynna offload the last of the older models now that the mining boom is over

[true panther]

holy shit

[fading dragon]

Fuck em

[true panther]

so close

[fading dragon]

The power draw of the 4000 series about to be so fucked though I'm not even interested

[bitter finch]

..yeah i cant be bothered to upgrade

i already have a pretty beefy psu

its an 850w revolution df

but like

[bitter finch]

i dont want to be getting a beefier PSU every generation I want to upgrade to

[true panther]

PIERRE Q3

[ionic flume]

same

[fading dragon]

Mine is 750 and I'm already pushing it with a 3080

[ionic flume]

im sticking with my 3060 ti after 5 years of an overheating dying 3060 ti

wait

meant 1060 ti

lmfao

sorry

[fading dragon]

Gone are the days of the goated 1080ti

The greatest card ever made

The entire 10 series was goated tho

1060 is still the most popular card from user reports on steam

[bitter finch]

we'll never see a gpu like the 1080ti ever again unfortunately

it was like $120 extra over the 1080 and was a lot faster

[fading dragon]

It still slaps, is still have mine if I wasn't a sicko and upgraded too often

I'd *

[ionic flume]

trust me that shit sucked in a laptop

overheating piece of shit

[fading dragon]

Well yea that's different

And could have been for other reasons, thermals are hard to get right on a laptop

Especially on a gaming laptop

The mobile cuts of the Nvidia gpus are often the worst parts of the wafers too it's kinda scam

I'm gonna try and make my 3080 last for a long time, my CPU will need an upgrade before my GPU anyway

The new CPUs are gonna be ddr5 only which means that will need to be upgraded as well, it's a racket

[true panther]

PIERRE LETS GO

cmon

just stay in top 10

32 laps to go

pitting to mediums on lap 4

40

[drifting grove]

oops not double, like 50% more points

[true panther]

I am firing tsunoda

schumacher and russel both crashed AND locked up at the same spot

lmao

[drifting grove]

goddamn the driver moves in this game are even crazier than F1 22

red bull, ferrari, mercedes, alfa romeo, and for some reason mclaren retained their lineups

but gasly is now paired with ocon at alpine

alonso is paired with vettel at alphatauri....?

albon moved to AMR with stroll

idek who frederik vesti is but hes at haas with kmag

and mick and yuki are at williams

so latifi is out of F1

[serene sinew]

ikr driver move are insane

Max went to Mercedes in my game

Also anyone having issues with multiplayer?

[dark widget]

finally

[drifting grove]

ok now that 1 season with ferrari is done

i wanna see if i can turn mclaren (mostly ricciardo) into a championship winning driver

[sly flame]

Gm lovely people

[wicked raptor]

Bruh why is everyone having trouble getting pierre into Q3

in my career mode at least he’s out qualifying Bottas

[bitter finch]

frederik vesti is a merc junior in f2

he's pre good

[visual spindle]

.sessions

[wicked raptor]

bussin at the french gp

[river condor]

ALBON IS A PIECE OF SHIT

PRO

P20

LANDO WAS IN P4

albon is just shit

locking up and ram into the back of lando

fuck you

i am restarting the race

im really angry about this one

P4 IN A ASTON

AND RUINED BY LAPPERS

albon ima ruin ur career real quick

p4 gone because of stupid williams

quit to main menu

[serene sinew]

om

[twin siren]

"OH MY GOD MAX!! YOU Are WORLD CHAMPION" - ring any bells xd

[bitter finch]

wasn't said by albon

[river condor]

dont give a fuck

he fucked my p4 up

it is hard to even get pointa

and my strategy got me to p4

but it is gone now

im going full tryhard mode anyways

[river condor]

it was said by gp btw

albon didnt even have mic access

[waxen socket]

Sainz was leading the championship, I signed him as alpine, he’s now 4th after baku ☠️

[wicked raptor]

F

[river condor]

i thought that "negative outlook towards your team" exists

[waxen socket]

Fuck knows

He doesn’t seem to care too much

[wicked raptor]

so close

[mossy rose]

In my F1 22 MyTeam simulation, Ocon went to Aston Martin replacing Stroll who went to Red Bull replacing Max who went to Haas replacing retiring Magnussen

[unborn hill]

Is the champions edition worth it or should I just buy the normal version

For the f1 22 game

[lyric scaffold]

For you’re into the podium pass or just getting stuff like livery, suits etc. than yes but if you just want to play then no

[wicked raptor]

my team icons as well

if you want drip then yes, if you don’t then no

[lyric scaffold]

Yeah team icons are good

Daniel man he was running 1st and Lando 3rd he locks up falls down to 5th and less than 7 laps remaining he crashes (retired) while Lando was 1st so I took a gamble pit in Lando with fresh softs falls to 4th with lapped cars in front of him at safety car restart with 4-5 laps to go but he was a bullet and did a mega lap. Would have been a 1-2 finish

Old Hards

Plus I had a 8 sec lead when I pitted

[wicked raptor]

speaking of 1-2’s

strategic masterclass in the rain

[lyric scaffold]

My first rain race was bad but I got the hang of it

[fading dragon]

Neither are worth it

Ah fuck that was an hour ago

[wicked raptor]

safety car nearly cucked me at the end lmao

[fading dragon]

After Hungary

I've been using rain to scam wins

And using Russell to defend like a lion

[wicked raptor]

ferrari is good as in f1 manager lmao

[mint cedar]

Can you tell me how you are getting McLaren to win while me managing McLaren is struggling to even get points 😂

You have surely upgraded your car right?

[fading dragon]

You gotta wait for rain and pull some strat

But also we won cause he got lucky with the lapped cars big as he said

Bug*

[lyric scaffold]

I have been smart with the upgrades

1st season with 10 races done

Daniel doing bad

I’ll replace him during the summer break

Yes he’s first with 4 point ahead of Max

12 races to go I think Max will win the WDC

Maybe not

It’s a close race

[lyric scaffold]

Looks like he doesn’t wants to lose his seat

[foggy lichen]

Does anyone know if leagues are cross play in F1 2022 or if it’s only for standard multiplayer?

[digital bobcat]

It's about the league

I think it's availible

So yes

[foggy lichen]

Ahh do the leagues have settings for cross play?

[digital bobcat]

I think so

I don't know

But i can't look because im now going on vacation

[strange hound]

can someone buy my f1 22

[neat bluff]

what facilities did yall update first

[vernal venture]

does anyone wanna race for my league

[regal warren]

https://www.reddit.com/r/F1Manager/comments/wz8cxj/major_issue_tires_have_zero_effect_on_race_pace/ i agree this

[candid vine]

yeah i can kind of relate

i remember trying the attack on brand new softs on a 2-stopper to get perez on old hards on a 1-stopper and he was faster nevertheless

with a ferrari too

im pretty sure his hards were like 15-20 laps

[candid vine]

the weather centre

or whatever its called in english

in ferrari they had it on the 1st level

so i couldnt really find the weather forecast reliable

[regal warren]

Will they fix it?

[ember bough]

✨ confidence ✨

[keen brook]

Crossplay isn't for leagues.

[candid vine]

maybe

i hope they fix the thing where they stop after spinning to let everyone past

there is no way you can go from p11 to p20 after locking up on the imola chicane

but ocon did that

[sturdy pasture]

Huge W

[ember bough]

Repost to scare a Verstappen fan.

[regal warren]

other teams have two hard tires in the race, even though I didn't use them in training, I got one because they sent one back to Pirelli. how do i solve this?

[keen brook]

There's no solve for that because that's the tire rules how they're in the game.

[lyric scaffold]

max has crashed in my race L

[regal warren]

but this is not fair because ai can produce more tactics when it has 1 more tire

[ember bough]

Just got a safety car in Australia because Tsunoda locked up and rear ended Schumacher.

[storm totem]

Anyone else having issues loading into Belgium in F1 22? I can't load it

[keen brook]

They don't have.

They use the same tire set again.

And they only do that if they got damage.

[regal warren]

they use 2 hard tires in each race and both cars drive at the same time

But i cant

[drowsy steeple]

anyone else notice on q1 when they do that intro thing they use the same car but just change the helmets

its easy to see on the mercedes

thats just being lazy

[keen brook]

Oh, you're talking about the manager game.

[wide furnace]

Please Help With crashing

I played f1 22 on ea play pro, worked fine so 2 days ago i bought a copy in store, but now , when i click to any button to play, there is a black screen for 10 seconds than the game crashes, please help

[regal warren]

Yes

[keen brook]

then nevermind

Thought you was talking about F1 22.

[regal warren]

I didn't buy f1 22, is it worth the money?

[keen brook]

not really

tbh

It's kinda enjoyable but there were better F1 games before.

[drowsy steeple]

its enjoyable for about a week

upgrades go brrr

[regal warren]

Does it make more sense to wait for 23? Or should I buy the 21 or 20 cheaper?

[regal warren]

Do you know the solution to my tire problem?

[drowsy steeple]

whats the issue with it

[regal warren]

ai has more hard tires than me so one of my cars has to do 2 pits while they do 1 pit

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @regal warren, you're now on lap 5

[drowsy steeple]

how many laps earlier did you pit

[keen brook]

If you can wait, then maybe 23 will be good, if not, then I personally enjoyed 2021 more, but overall 2020 was the better game.

[regal warren]

i did it when the cars in front pit

[regal warren]

I send photo

[wide furnace]

If anyone know anything pls help me out

[ember bough]

Signed Pourchaire as my reserve for Alfa (just like what I'm going to assume 90% of Alfa managers would do)

[candid vine]

i made chassic, rear and front wing upgrades for mclaren and it only helped me to move from p11 to p10

i mean

every single q2 gasly knocked out norris out of qualifying

and after all those upgrades he was finally slower

[candid vine]

yeah i signed pourchaire as the reserve in my ferrari save too

obvious choice

[wicked raptor]

lmao I got both my alpines through Q1 on hards

[fervent depot]

underfloor is the path my friend

[drowsy steeple]

that turned for the worse

[keen brook]

the GOAT out in Q2

and George

[neat bluff]

please

[low wren]

I don't think he's very confident

[keen brook]

Seems like the setup is garbage.

[low wren]

mans loves his oversteer

[ember bough]

I only signed him because he's a Sauber junior IRL

Then I let him run FP1 in Imola and he was only a few tenths off Zhou.

[tacit ingot]

Are they gonna update f1 22 Belgium to reflect the real track?

[low wren]

Most likely not

[analog salmon]

Which team should I choose in f1 manager?

[vivid leaf]

I need Codies to bring back interviews

[drowsy steeple]

FINALLY

last lap

overtake for the win

[river condor]

aston

get lando in when u start ur save

too powerfuk

he got 18 points for me

when seb got 1

[night saddle]

Am I supposted to be able to play F1 22 online without PS Plus?

[keen brook]

nope

For multiplayer you need PS Plus.

For single player you don't need it.

[night saddle]

Well, then my game is glitched lol

[keen brook]

lol

at least a nice glitch

[night saddle]

I dont have ps plus and still i can play online lmao

[night saddle]

Yeah, I guess lol

[wicked raptor]

ayo verstappen has a one point lead over leclerc going into abu dhabi

leclerc has been leading all season

[storm totem]

My F1 22 Belgium still doesn't load... wth? Every other track starst but not Belgium haha

Not in career, not in GP and not in time trials

Anyone having an idea?

[night saddle]

My F1 22 is also broken

[ruby saddle]

[ember bough]

4 thousandths off the fastest lap 💀

[sand juniper]

Hell nah bruh

I just did the weekly event

And i binned it and crashed out in the final lap

[river condor]

again man

[ember bough]

Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives.

[lyric scaffold]

when do u think mods will come out?

[lucid lichen]

got bored of jordan's insane pace so now am playing as arrows

[ember bough]

I'd probably say give it a month or two.

[candid vine]

do the trust to the setup do anything really?

i fucked up lando's setup bad and his trust is at 30%

yet he still throws p10 laps

as if he had even 70% which he usually does

[sonic rover]

I’m excited for F1 manager comes out Tuesday

Already got it pre ordered

Played a bit of motor sport manager very curious to see how much the game differs

[misty sandal]

Guys what team should I do

[sonic rover]

For what?

[misty sandal]

F1 Manager

[sonic rover]

Do whatever team you want I’ll be doing 2 teams I’ll be doing Redbull on 1 save and Williams on another, I wanna see if I can lift Williams out of there struggles

[candid vine]

as someone who played both the games a lot

motorsport manager is so much different than f1 manager

motorsport manager failed to get me into the game as f1 manager did

[misty sandal]

I'm thinking of making Alpha tauri better then RB

[sonic rover]

Has there been a f1 manager game before

Or this new

[candid vine]

well this i guess

but i've never heard of any other

[fervent depot]

siuuu

[ember bough]

What are we cooking?

No like, seriously.

[candid vine]

wow im in monaco and the only time i got out of q2 with mclaren is miami

and it still was p10

and everyones getting wins with them

[ember bough]

pain

[sonic rover]

Is that new f1 manager or an old one

[candid vine]

theres no way this is the new one

[ember bough]

Was on course for a top 4 until he crashed.

[sonic rover]

Motor sport manager?

[candid vine]

nah this some old f1 manager game

[sonic rover]

Ah okay

[candid vine]

F

my highest finish was p6 with lando

[sonic rover]

Ya looking forward to new one

[candid vine]

ocon's highest was p10 lol

[sonic rover]

Tuesday be a fun day

[candid vine]

man has got one point in mclaren

[candid vine]

yes

this game is really dope

i mean it has some annoying bugs

like now im in monaco, lando was about to overtake zhou and he just braked to almost a full stop

and lost 2 positions

thats annoying as fuck i hope they fix it

monaco is the worst circuit in the game tbh

they just brake real hard whenever they're about to overtake anyone

so overtaking is almost impossible

[sonic rover]

I’ve gotten better at 🇲🇨

I did a last to first challenge on full race with it, on 100 AI in 22

[candid vine]

i would crash into a barrier on the 1st lap

[sonic rover]

It’s just braking at the right time

[candid vine]

latifi so slow im p13 and im lapping him bruh

holy fuck lando managed to get the fastest lap

[sonic rover]

It’s turn 6 and 7 still a bit tough for me

But other than that I got the track down pretty well

[ember bough]

I feel like I'm gonna be taking a LOT of gearbox penalties this season.

[lucid lichen]

F1 manager 2000, also published by EA

[sonic rover]

That’s the last one

[candid vine]

im struggling the most at turn 1 tho

idk how to take it quick

[sonic rover]

Shit ya definitely glad there is a new one

Just quick brake turn towards right and then straight gas

[keen brook]

Also? Which one is the other?

[lucid lichen]

the new one

[keen brook]

nope

It's from Frontier.

[lucid lichen]

oh

I thought ea was involved in it lol

[keen brook]

nope

That's why it's so decent.

[candid vine]

idk what am i doing wrong

i feel like neither the upgrades or the driver's trust dont improve anything

i upgraded basically the whole car and im still getting p11 in each quali

and even if i get 30% trust on lando like i did in monaco he can still get p11 and still throw in the fastest lap of the race

and also he was in front of ocon with 86% or so trust which was p13 as he usually is

i would assume a trust gap big to this extent would allow ocon to outperform lando but no

they perform exactly the same no matter the trust level

[misty sandal]

Who should I get to replace Mick?

[candid vine]

i would get pourchaire

wow its the second time im going into q3

in azerbaijan this time

[misty sandal]

I still dk what team to really do tbh

[candid vine]

im doing mclaren and i feel like im doing pretty shit or the game is acting weird

because i upgraded the whole car

[misty sandal]

I might try McLaren

[candid vine]

by rank on the grid everything went from about 15 to like 7

and it did not help in any extent

they're still performing just like they were at the beggining of the season

also

because i am a fucking normie

what do both of these bars represent

[molten estuary]

Anyone want to play f122?

If so join the games channel

[candid vine]

bro how the fuck

lando was faster on used softs than on new ones

this games trippin

[ember bough]

Blue represents deployment, yellow represents charge.

[candid vine]

oh alright, so if I reach the 4MJ of deployment on a lap i cant deploy it anymore right?

[misty sandal]

who should I replace Yuki withvl?

[candid vine]

max

demote the mf to alpha tauri

nah nah jk

idk

pourchaire

pourchaire is good in this game

a lot of potential and a relatively high rating

[radiant solar]

saved leclerc

[candid vine]

the good ending

[radiant solar]

my problem is the numbers dont change

[candid vine]

oh really?

well when i signed ocon to alpine he got the alpine number on the mclaren

and ricciardo had the mclaren number on the alpine

but still his

[keen brook]

So Ricciardo had the 31 and Ocon the 3?

[candid vine]

no

i mean ricciardo has the on the alpine

not the alpine number design

[keen brook]

oh

Now I understand what you mean.

I imagine that looks really odd.

[radiant solar]

yea i meant that

its not in the correct font

it just copy pastes his ferrari font

[ember bough]

Yeah

[radiant solar]

btw that isnt my actual save

i made a different for the lols

buying out checos contract and signing leclerc cost 40m all together

[candid vine]

if i knew that it would probably help me a lot

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @candid vine, you're now on lap 15

[candid vine]

in getting a better qualifying position than p10

especially in monaco

[radiant solar]

is there no way i can sim the race itself? i wanted to see how he would do

i dont wanna manage the whole race hahaha

[candid vine]

i dont think so

[radiant solar]

understandable but sucks

[candid vine]

i wanna make a save where i sign latifi and stroll to a very good team

and see how they do

[radiant solar]

good thing there's multiple saves 😛

[candid vine]

yeah

or like

some very low rated f3 driver

p20 in redbull

[keen brook]

That would be a funny idea, destroying a top team and making it to the worst.

[candid vine]

no upgrades

worst drivers

great idea

[radiant solar]

its small but you can see the number here

[candid vine]

im gonna make that out of ferrari
