F1 2016: GroÃŸer Patch, zuerst fÃ¼r die PC-Version, zum Italien-Grand-Prix

Codemasters unterzieht die PC-Version von F1 2016 einem umfassenden Boxenstopp und informiert �ber die Verbesserungen die bald auch f�r die Konsolenspieler folgen sollen - plus neues Video zeigt schnelle Runde in Monza.

F1 2016: GroÃ�Å¸er Patch, zuerst fÃ�Â¼r die PC-Version, zum Italien-Grand-Prix ZoomF1 2016Sebastian Vettel Monza-Flying-Lap-VideoZum Gro�en Preis von Italien zeigt Codemasters nicht nur ein neues Gameplayvideo einer schnellen Runde in Monza mit Ferrari-Pilot Sebastian Vettel sondern stellt f�r das erst seit wenigen Tagen erh�ltliche offizielle Formel-1-Rennspiel F1 2016 auch einen umfangreichen Patch zur Verf�gung. Dieser wird laut Codemasters bereits via Steam f�r die PC-Version verteilt und soll "in sehr naher Zukunft" auch f�r die PS4 und Xbox One, erg�nzt um zwei konsolenspezifische Korrekturen (-Added an option to search custom multiplayer sessions on Xbox One; -PS4 - LIGHT BAR � Light bar now turns blue when blue flags are present and red for collisions), erscheinen.

Ein Blick in das umfangreich geratene �nderungsprotokoll zeigt, dass die Entwickler neben einigen w�nschenswerten Erweiterungen vor allem im Multiplayerbereich als auch bei der AI kr�ftig nachbessern und die eine oder andere Unzul�nglichkeit beseitigen. Im direkten Vergleich mit dem direkten Vorg�nger bleibt zu hoffen, dass F1 2016 insgesamt mit weniger Updates auskommen kann und aus den Fehlern der Vergangenheit bei der Entwicklung gelernt wurde.
