Good morning @EpicPandemic. Welcome to the Codemasters Forums! When posting in Technical Assistance, it's always best to follow the posting guide that's pinned. It really helps us out when trying to diagnose an issue (linked below). I assume you are on PC? Please add to your post as much information as you can and we can look at solutions.

I think you're getting confused as to the bug that initially reported in this Topic. Can you confirm whether the issue you're having is the same as the first post in the topic here (multiplayer) or in this post:

Thanks for the details everyone. We're looking into this at the moment - once I know more, I'll report back.

Just a note about this working, if you have a custom coloured livery already saved prior to the update, you'll have to select that vehicle in a menu (pre-race/Skirmish) before the change will take effect, rather than be automatically allocated that vehicle.

Yes, and my response is taking that into consideration. I don't know your full specs but from what I can tell you're trying to run the game at 1440p, therefore the performance you are getting is about right - try lowering the settings.

Thank you for clarifying. Given the specs of your PC then, this is probably the performance you should be expecting in the game. If you drop the graphics in some areas (some say that reducing the 'crowd' quality helps a lot) then you should get more consistent performance. Adjust some of the settings and see what works best for you 🙂

This has now been fixed with the Post-Season 3 patch

Did you play the game before Season 3 was released on April 15th? Most people in this thread are noting that performance dropped when Season 3 released, this has now been rectified.

How does this compare to the performance you were getting pre-Season 3, @ketombe?

Thanks for the information @CookieMcCrumble - I'll get this reported 🙂

Both should be fixed

It's out of my/Codemasters hands at the moment, there's nothing more we can do to resolve this until Fanatec put out the patch. I appreciate you have been waiting but that's the situation we're in right now. As I've said on numerous occasions, once I get an update I'll let you know.

Hey folks, I've created a thread here which offers some troubleshooting steps to anyone experiencing similar issues. If you have any further tips you would like to submit, please feel free to add them there

Hey folks - it's looking like we've managed to find the fix to this issue and it will be addressed in an upcoming patch. Keep an eye on the social channels for the date for said patch (shouldn't be too far in the future).

Hey @gigiotto59 - Multiplayer lobbies are set-up by players, so if you were to set-up a Hypercar lobby then you would be able to drive the Hypercars you own (or the Bugatti Veyron as a loan car) in these races.

Unfortunately, due to licensing restrictions, the colour options in-game on this particular car are limited.

Heard back from them today. There are a number of important fixes that are going into this update (not just your problem, which has been confirmed as fixed). Because of this, and current staff shortages, they are hoping to get the patch released for this month, if not very early June. That's all I have to share for now, I've said I'll get in touch again towards the end of the month should nothing have happened by then.

Hey @BerserkBaguette @PandaTonayy and @SpeedDemon666JJ. Can you confirm whether you hear any other noise (for example, engines, driving by, start lights) or is it just the menu music you hear? Does it sound like anything else other than the menu music is happening in the background?

I've chased today @Marc1011 - today is a bank holiday in Germany though so I wouldn't expect a reply until Monday at the earliest.

Hey @DarkJoney. I'm sorry you're having these issues. GRID is only supported officially in DX12 to trying to run it in DX11 isn't a good idea. I've been looking into what could be causing this but because it's on PC, it's so hard to diagnose problems. We always recommend updating your drivers and Windows so the fact you're running 1809 could be part of the issue. I appreciate that you've tried running the game on a different hard drive with 1909 installed but the switching of hardware could be causing an issue. My next suggestion would be to delete your 'hardware config settings' file that can be located here: C:\Users\[USER NAME]\Documents\My Games\GRID (2019)\hardwaresettings. When you next load the game up, there will be a new version of that file created. Let me know how you get on. Edit: Also, MSI Afterburner can cause issues with our games. Try not running it when playing GRID/F1 2019 in DX12 mode - it has been known to cause crashes. Second edit: Had word from someone in the studio that you could also try disabling Steam overlay. The main crux of the issue may well be that older version of Windows though.

@dr0pthehamm3r11 Next suggestion: If you go to C:\Users\[USER NAME]\Documents\My Games\GRID (2019)\hardwaresettings and delete the 'hardware settings config' file then that may help. The game will create another instance of that file when you next boot the game up.

Nothing else yet! Still not the end of the month yet so if I hear nothing then, I'll chase once again.

Can confirm. @CMAlexS is staff. More details about the patch will be coming soon 🙂

Still being tested but we're looking to implement a fix in the next patch. Working hard to get it solved!
