TactXO

We’re 450+ members strong after only a year and a half, spanning across multiple games. We are starting up our last season of F1 2020 before the new game releases and we are looking for some reserves for both tiers. As a reserve, you are automatically placed on a waitlist for the next available seat. We race Tier 1 on Sundays and Tier 2 on Mondays, 9pm ET. All races are streamed and all incidents reviewed by a panel of stewards. We have a generous assist restriction - TC and ABS allowed for both tiers. Join us at https://discord.gg/yMn5WCg and follow the instructions on our welcome page! See you there 🙂

Just chiming in to confirm that this issue still exists for us - spectators’ lights go out specifically when the 5th light goes on for the players. We do have our spectators host ever since the bug where lobby hosts got a head start.

50% race in China, never happened to me before.

Hey @BarryBL, some communication would be nice from Codemasters regarding these issues, because at the moment, you are losing dedicated fans of your franchise every single day to other racing games - games that actually function in a competitive online environment.

Codies masterclass yet again. A detailed description of the issue. Upon loading into the lobby, I was looking at a black loading screen while the rest of the league race lobby got to load their setup while on the grid. (We had to restart the lobby after quali because of the host lagging out) Platform PC What version of the game you are using (Shown on the start screen in the bottom left corner of the screen) 1.13 Ranked/Unranked/Leagues Unranked Wired or Wireless Connection? Wired The amount of players in your session? 20 drivers + 2 spectators Were you the host? No Did this issue happens for everyone in the session, just some people or just yourself? What did they see? I was the only one in the lobby with this issue We need to be able to make your problem happen internally so we can fix the issue. Can you make the problem happen again? I sure hope not How do you make the problem happen? Play a codemasters F1 game Can you add a report code. How to find this is in Main Menu > Game Options > Settings > 16 digit code in the bottom left of the screen. Please make sure that this is the code from the session you had the issue in. Adding report codes from as many users in your session as possible would be really helpful here. TAHV-CCEA-VPMS-BBEE Video of the issue, including timestamps. Did you stream the session? https://clips.twitch.tv/AbnegatePrettiestPterodactylGOWSkull

You can use Championships mode.

Not even a timer, just make the time between “VSC Ending” and green flags consistent please. Sometimes it’s a couple seconds, sometimes it’s 10.

Yeah this bug has made our commentators have a headache every time we’re in quali. Praying Codies fixed it for the next patch, but given the fact that I reported this bug months ago and no one said anything makes me doubtful.

Looking forward to a fresh batch of new bugs next week then

Another league owner chiming in, we've had the lowest attendance in our Tier 1 in our history. Our commentators laugh at Codies at least 3-5 times a stream due to the blatant bugs on display for our viewers, which were already mentioned above. Just the other day we had half our Tier 3 grid pit for the wrong tyres even though they selected the right ones in the MFD. I had hoped the embarrassment Codies suffered during the virtual GPs, e.g. Lando and Max making fun of the state of their game for thousands of viewers, would force them to make improvements... but sadly not. We also run an ACC league, and their game is miles ahead in terms of spectator tools and online stability. Someone mentioned the grip hacks earlier. The fact that Codies have turned a blind eye to this, with the Time Trial leaderboards being vandalized with impossible times and with ranked lobbies plagued with cheaters, only for Codies to shrug and essentially say "it be like that". Oh, and I really loved when Barry pretended that a blatant bug (can't use the Increase/Decrease ERS Mode shortcut to change ERS mode in quali) was "by design". Fantastic effort. I'm trying to be optimistic, hoping that these fixes will come alongside the performance patch (the fact that it's taken this long for it to come is a whole other embarrassment), but Codies have already broken the promise they made as they said it's coming "early October" and it's October 14th already. This is not me whining or complaining, this is me knowing that Codies can do better, but either do not have the resources to do so (and need to hire more people) or they are choosing not to.

Including the spectators' lights being a few ahead of everyone each time? For example, https://clips.twitch.tv/CaringLazyPrariedogSpicyBoy https://clips.twitch.tv/FurtiveGoodSageYouDontSay

A detailed description of what's happened Lights go out for the host 2-3 seconds before everyone else. Platform PC What version of the game you are using (Shown on the start screen in the bottom left corner of the screen) Happened to me in 1.08 Ranked/Unranked/Leagues Unranked Wired or Wireless Connection? Wired The amount of players in your session? 16 Were you the host? Yes Did this issue happens for everyone in the session, just some people or just yourself? What did they see? Just me, I got a 3 second head start, even gave someone a drive through penalty because I hit them while their lights were still on We need to be able to make your problem happen internally so we can fix the issue. Can you make the problem happen again? Trying, but no one is joining my unranked lobby. Perhaps you guys can get a group of people internally to test it. How do you make the problem happen? Can you add a report code. How to find this is in Main Menu > Game Options > Settings > 16 digit code in the bottom left of the screen. Please make sure that this is the code from the session you had the issue in. Adding report codes from as many users in your session as possible would be really helpful here. I don't have it since it happened to me a while ago and our league never has a racer host the lobby due to this bug. But for reference, it was a 50% race, short quali, formation on, Full damage, ghosting off, SC on, rules and flags on Video of the issue, including timestamps. Did you stream the session? You can see TRL Limitless' video above, unfortunately I did not record my session

Happens in unranked for me. I was host and lights went out 2-3 seconds early for me. PC latest patch.

Region?

You also need to let them know about the similar bug that shows the wrong timer session when spectating - for the spectators, the session ends exactly 1 minute too early. Also, cars don't automatically retire if they are in the pits when the timer runs out.
