Is the fuel bug still a thing?

Bottas gets pole like 7 or 8 times out of 10 for me.

Codies are going full ostrich with this one, head in the sand. "If we stay like this maybe they'll stop complaining". Seriously, I don't like playing this card because it sounds preachy, but I work in game development. I know fatigued devs trying to explain themselves out of having to fix something when I see it. In bug reporting or task management softwares you will have resolutions to issues like "Fixed", "Resolved", "Cannot reproduce" etc. There are two variants there usually called something like "By design" and "Won't fix". The latter one is for smaller (in the devs' own eyes at least) issues they don't want to bother with because it takes time away from other issues. However, they can't actually say that to the community for obvious reasons, so they tell poor Barry to inform us it's "By design" instead of "Won't fix" which is just even more infuriating and kind of insults the intelligence of the players. Those are my two cents on this issue. I do outlaps in qualy and don't want to drain my battery before starting my hotlap. Why can't I use the shortcut for going up and down ERS modes when that is what the shortcut was designed for in the first place? "Sorry mate, won't fix this one."

Are you talking about F2 or F1?

Weird, I haven't seen my own car being overfueled. I do run the race strategy programme in practice so maybe that's what is causing the issues.

I'm running 100%. The problem isn't the player car; that is being calculated correctly. It is the AI cars that are incorrectly calculated to be over fueled.

Why am I not surprised...

Unfortunately not since fuel load is restricted in F2, so you can't overfuel your car to compensate for this.

There's a setting where you pick between manual and manual with clutch or something like that. Make sure to set this to only manual and your problem should go away.

Good catch, I've also been destroying the AI in races after qualifying somewhere around 5th-8th. I just thought it was down to getting the hang of the circuit but they do seem awfully slow through many corners, such as turn 3 at Barcelona for example.

It's not your Xbox, it's the game.

Yeah this has been an issue for the last few years. Seems like an engine issue where it doesn't handle texture streaming and/or graphics memory very well.

"By design" meaning "too small an issue to bother with" here. If it is actually by design, i.e. someone sat down and went "this should work like this instead of the other way" it has to be the dumbest design I've seen in a while.

1. A detailed description of the issue. Please include any error codes here. The audio for traction control on the 2000 Ferrari, 2003 Williams, 2004 Ferrari, 2006 Renault and 2007 Ferrari doesn't play properly, instead there is just binary static. The issue was present on previous F1 titles, although it was fixed on F1 2018 (potentially the audio was just removed rather than fixed, not sure), then it was back again on F1 2019 and now F1 2020. I.e. this now includes the brand new Schumacher Edition Ferrari from 2000. This is NOT related to the traction control assist but is an audio bug with the above mentioned cars specifically. See this thread from last year for more information and reference videos: 2. What version of the game you are using (Shown on the start screen in the bottom left corner of the screen) 1.03 3. Game-mode? Any mode with the above named classic cars. 4. What are your replication numbers? Minimum test attempts are 4. Please also add EXACT replication steps for us to try too. 100% 1. Boot game 2. Enter time trial 3. Select classic cars 4. Select one of the cars mentioned above, e.g. 2004 Ferrari 5. Drive until you reach a slow corner and accelerate through the lower gears so that traction control kicks in. 5. What troubleshooting have you attempted? Please always try to attempt to fix the issue Not much to do as a user here, the audio is broken. 6. What peripherals are you are using (gamepad, wheel make & model etc) Issue has been present with gamepad, G29 wheel, Fanatec CSW wheels etc, peripherals don't contribute to the issue. 7. Any screenshots or video of the issue? If the video is long, please include a timestamp for when the issue appears. Again referencing the thread from F1 2019 above. However, this is a video from the thread of the 2003 Williams on F1 2019, but the exact same issue appears on F1 2020. Listen for the static that abruptly goes on and off between ca 0:18-0:20 of the video as the driver comes out of the first chicane in 2nd gear.

I had it in DX11 mode.
