    It won't change to NAT type 1, my provider doesn't let me. It is a common problem with other users of this provider. I have no problems with other games, just F1 2020. Online features were working fine on F1 2019 as well. I can connect with other players in the unranked lobbys, and competitions, but not in the ranked lobbys. Other things I cant connect or open are the podium pass, in game store and I cant login with my RaceNet account.  

    I think here lies the problem then I'm afraid. It's very strange you can connect to certain areas, but not others. Without being able to change to NAT type 1 (which would be my first troubleshooting fix), I'd find it very difficult to find you a solution. I have sent you some links via DM to check if you can access our servers. Please let me know your results on them and what happens if you attempt to connect.

    I'd ethernet cable your PS4 regardless, as it would improve your online experience across all games.

    Please add your bug report onto this thread or I will not be able to replicate or diagnose, and have to delete this thread. Also, adding DXDiags (for PC) would be useful

    I'm currently connected to the internet by Wifi, with a signalstrenght of 74% with 5 GHz frequancy. I can connect to the internet with a cable, but that didn't make a difference. I'm on NAT type 2. I'm not using a proxyserver. Do you need more information? 

    @StefanvanBalkom, can I ask as to why changed them back? Just seems really odd that you've previously tried NAT type 1 to change back. Just seem there is a overriding connection issue here, especially as you cannot access features like the podium pass.

    Do you experience issues when connecting to other games

    Hi @BarryBL, I changed the shift down button (although i am not using it). Speking for the free practice of F2, Azerbaijan, there was no excessive wear. Gearbox still looks green. So this looks like it solved the issue for my case. It seems the car was trying to double shift down or smt. while I was trying to break. I will still finish the quali and the race and edit this. I cannot believe I couldnt play the game all this time because of such reason. How stupid of me.  

    Honestly @TheScientist903, I just stumbled on the idea and tested it. Don't worry, was more a 'random idea' than a thought. But we'll take the solution.

    Agreed @marioho, probably won't work. Good point 👍

    Thank you! So you mean braking abit earlier? How can I downshift and lower revs? 

    Would be timing of your downshifts. Just time them for when you are in the slightly lower rev range, so slower changes. I know that some users tried to get down the gearbox as possible in F1 2019, but this doesn't work in 2020.

    Thanks @StefanvanBalkom for the information.

    My initial solutions are:

    Hi, @BarryBL I also have the same gearbox issue but my braking and shifting down buttons aren’t the same, the problem is not that u can’t finish a race because of the gearbox. But that the gearbox for some reason takes about 25% of my gearbox wear per race which gives me about 3 races with the same gearbox. I have the exact same setup as f1 2019 and I didn’t have that problem. I believe that the problem is with u (codemasters) other then me, otherwise I would have had the same problem in 2019. And also it can’t be gearbox upgrade because they don’t have that impact and u can get even with 0 gearbox upgrades around 5 events. 

    Can you post your controller settings please @killergarden1 and complete a bug report template as well. Please also note that, although different iterations of the same series, F1 2019 and F1 2020 are different games. Do you run manual or Auto?

    What about for manual gear users that experience the same issue with braking and downshift different. I am getting 2/3% wear a lap on my gearbox. PS4. Wheel. 

    Under investigation, replicated and currently testing a potential solution. Downshifting at marginally lower revs is our recommended workaround for now, you should see some notable improvements.

    @BarryBL I am not sure what you mean with internet settings, but currently I am using wired connection. Today I tried to play with 10-15 player players and it worked 3 out of 3 times but when there was 18-20 players in the game the problem appears and the loading screen just keeps loading and loading.

    Could also be connecting to other players in that lobby. Can you record a video of where/when you get removed from the session so I can see the issue. Also, at the start of your next boot of the game before playing online, please grab the 16 digit report code. How to do so is Main Menu > Game Options > Settings > Bottom Left of the screen.

  14. Can you add a photo of your current active controller settings. For example, see below:

    20200817140015_1.jpg

    You may some commands that are binded together that are causing this.

    Adding a video of this sort of thing would also be really appreciated should this be a bug and raised to developers

    Have you compared medium to no TC on F1 2020 though?

    (I'm using medium myself at the moment. Trying to decide whether to switch this or ABS off next.)

    I have, briefly to the same result. If I can hook a lap up, its a big improvement for me, about the 0.6 to 0.8 range for me. 

    I guess, from a drivers perspective, its risk vs reward. I couldn't yet run a race with TC totally off, especially with the lack of practice and the 'compromised' office arrangement (I prefer wheel). But its that ultimate pace, then removing assists is better for sure.

    Was your TC anecdote possibly not for F1 2020 then?

    Upgraded from the glass table, and I race in the forum championships on a Friday instead of on my own. I've managed to become somewhat consistent on TC medium at a good pace, just time actually practicing my skills over testing bugs has become limited. 

    But I like fighting for the points. The midfield is fun!
