Every time IGP has to be played around this time of day, the game becomes almost impossible to play. The servers are terrible, and the game simply doesn't run as smoothly as it did years ago.
You activate KERS and suddenly the car starts moving at something like 890 km/h. Seriously, what is this? Is it a joke?
Playing on Wi-Fi is practically impossible. IGP seems to force you to use mobile data just to have a decent connection. Why? I honestly don't know. I've never experienced anything like this in another game.
And the most frustrating part is that the experience seems completely different depending on the platform. On PC, everything runs smoothly and there are far fewer lag issues. On mobile, you're basically at a disadvantage. It almost feels like a pay-to-win situation based on the device you use: play on PC and you're fine; play on mobile and you're constantly fighting lag and connection problems.
When did IGP become like this?
Back in 2021, the game felt much smoother and more responsive than it does today. IGP can add thousands of new features, but if the basic gameplay experience isn't stable, responsive, and comfortable for the user, those features don't matter as much.
Server stability, connection quality, and overall game smoothness need to be a priority. The core gameplay experience should work reliably regardless of whether you're playing on PC or mobile.
We don't need more features if the game itself can't provide a smooth and reliable experience.
