L'accoglienza di F1 24 non è stata tra le più calde e positive a causa di un handling che definire un salto indietro è poco. Codemasters però sembra aver ascoltato i feedback e fortunatamente la prima patch non tarderà ad arrivare e verrà rilasciata oggi, venerdì 7 giugno intorno alle ore 12.
Tra i miglioramenti apportati abbiamo risposte migliori sia del tyre model che del modello termico dello pneumatico, una cinematica delle sospensioni rivista, prestazioni delle vetture più aderenti alla realtà e una nuova calibrazione dell'ERS in modalità Hotlap.
Ecco di seguito il changelog completo della patch in arrivo:
