F1 2015

 
Codemasters extends its F1 deal to 2025Oct 31, 2019 - EurogamerCodemasters has just announced that it's extended its rights on the F1 licence to 2025 - with a further option for 2026 and 2027. Coming off the back of two outstanding entries in Codemasters' series, it's fantastic news for fans of the sport, and it marks the longest extension in the franchise's history. Codemasters first signed up in 2008, with the first entry being Sumo's stopgap Wii effort in 2009, with the fully-fledged F1 2010 following soon after. There have been lulls - F1 2014 marked a low-point for the series as the studio prepared for a new generation - but since then it's gone from strength to strength, with F1 2019 an enjoyable, detailed and passionate take on the sport that's bolstered by an esports offering now going into its third seasons that's become part and parcel of the sport itself. Read more F1 2015 is free for keeps right now on SteamApr 28, 2018 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunFormula One fans should take note of this small window of opportunity where, not only can you play F1 2015 for free, but it will remain in your Steam library permanently. I’m not sure what else you need to read about it? You click a button and have a free forever game. It is yours. Like so many other Steam games you own, you never even have to install it. It can remain on a list that haunts you, reminding you of Steam sales gone by where you spent hard earned money for digital experiences you’ll never even find the time to touch; entire worlds you’ve promised to visit but will ignore, casting them into some electronic purgatory from whence they cry out to you in the night. Anyhow, this is a game about racing cars. They go real fast. ** NOTE: …and just as fast as the cars, this free game promotion and sale have already ended. Well. There’s that. ** (more…) F1 2015 is free on the Humble StoreMar 22, 2018 - PC GamerThe Humble Store has kicked off weekend sales on Bethesda and Codemasters games, and to attract your interest (and hopefully your attention) it's giving away the Codies racing sim F1 2015 for the next two days.  You might say that F1 2015 is "weird," and in fact we did say that in our review. We called it "the best representation of F1 racing to date," but hit it with a middling 61/100 score because of a "lack of content, unstable multiplayer suite, and unchanged foundations." It's been patched and updated a number of times since then, which has presumably improved the experience, and also it's free. Hard to go wrong at that price.  If racing is your thing, here are some other Codies deals you might find interesting:  * Dirt Rally - $10 (80 percent off); * Grid 2 Reloaded Edition - $12.50 (75 percent off); * F1 2017 - $18 (70 percent off); * Overlord - $1 (75 percent off—okay, this one isn't racing, but it's a dollar); The Bethesda sale is a little less sim-specialized, but the cuts don't go quite so deep either. Still, there are some good deals to be had: * Fallout 4 - $15 (50 percent off); * Doom - $15 (50 percent off); * Prey - $20 (50 percent off); * Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus - $30 (50 percent off); The Codemasters and Bethesda sales are live now and will run until March 26. The F1 2015 freebie, on the other hand, goes away at 10 am PT/1 pm ET on March 24. Zoom Zoom: F1 2016 AnnouncedMay 27, 2016 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunNyyyyyommm. Nyim! Vrooooim. Those onomatopoeias, and others like them, signal the whizzing-past of both cars and announcements of annual sequels. Which can only mean that Codemasters today announced F1 2016 , the next in their Formula 1 drive ‘em up series. What’s new and exciting this year? Well let me tell you! It’s bringing back a car that can drive in front of you for your safety and delight. Not even a Formula 1 car – just some old Mercedes-Benz pootling about on the track when it thinks the race will get too exciting. A ‘racedad’, I think is the technical term. … RACE LIKE A CHAMPION IN F1™ 2015 FOR LINUX AND STEAM OSMay 26, 2016 - Community AnnouncementsOut now on Linux and Steam OS!

As rather angrily detailed over on Pretend Race Cars, the threat of legal action from Formula One World Championships Ltd has resulted in over 30 pages of mods being removed from the Race Department forum. The general reason behind the removal is because the mods infringe on Formula 1 s copyrights cars looking like the real cars, that sort of thing and it is something for which F1 has every right to demand things be taken down. That said, it s not exactly like the modders are making big bucks off the mods. They re getting nothing from it. That s where it strays into the territory of the big boys throwing their weight around (hence the aforementioned anger). Still, if you want slightly up-to-date team, tracks and drivers you can pick up F1 2015, even though it s not great. Just don t try modding it or if you do, don t put your mod out there for others to download. This isn t the first time takedowns have happened, with the FIA motorsport s governing body sending out cease and desist letters in the summer of 2014 to get modders to take down their free wares.

F1 2015 PC Patch - 11/11/15Nov 12, 2015 - Community AnnouncementsSo, the new patch we talked about here is now live! Here's another run down of what's covered in the patch: Game Added a session list screen which is available via the Multiplayer menu. This screen will allow players to search for all public sessions and join the one they want to. Custom and Hopper sessions will be visible on this list. Multiplayer fixes and improvements: Added additional information to lobbies so players can see how much progress has been made in the current session. Parc ferme rules are no longer incorrectly applied so players will not get their fuel locked to 100kg in qualifying or not be able to change their tyres at the start of a race if they qualified outside the top ten. Fixed an issue that would cause a players car to always be ghosted during timed qualifying sessions. Fixed framerate and lag spikes causing incorrect collisions. Fixed a bug that meant connections with limited upload bandwidth would appear laggy while on track and eventually disconnect. Disallowing Brake Assist will no longer also block ABS. Cars will no longer ghost when driving too slowly on track. Fixed a bug which made the screen pulse black when spectating specific cars in specific circumstances. Minor hopper improvements and changes Removed the AI from all hoppers. Removed the assist restrictions from the Hardcore hopper. Made the countdown timer longer and prevented it from starting for a short time if there are not many players in the session to try to allow more people to join. Changed the grid order to random from realistic. So now the players Mercedes cars will not always start on the front row. Updated the Feature Race to Brazil. Removed the incorrect second DRS detection zone from the Mexico mini map. This was not present in the actual track data. Corrected the number of laps for the Mexican Grand Prix. The player is now correctly disqualified for not using both compounds in a dry weather race. Improvements to AI behaviour in Qualifying: AI will no longer all leave the garage at the same time. AI will no longer use Prime tyres in Q2. AI will always do two runs in Short Qualifying and Q3. Fixed the flashing rear tyre issue present on some PC setups. Made the D-Pad menu more responsive to use. Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause OSD messages to remain on screen or to never display. This was mostly reported online but can be seen offline too. Fixed an issue that would cause new tyres to be too cold when they’re put on at a pit stop. Fixed a problem that could cause unrealistic lap times in practice and qualifying. Sports Updates – Part 1 Adjusted the relative performance of the teams and drivers based on the season’s results so far. Updated the tyres for Russia to Super Soft and Soft. High End PC Enhancements New CPU-driven particle effects to improve visual quality on systems with high-end CPUs. Select “high” or “ultra” particle effects from the options menu.
