I first got the game the day it released to the public (without the Schumacher edition) and it downloaded over the whole day. Needless to say, I was very excited to play this game. I first started playing with a friend in a created my league and this is where I encountered the first couple of issues. We could get through FP1 no problem and were able to get to qualifying, however no matter what we couldn't get through to the actual race. We would get to the screen and either I'd exit to the menu (it said it saved the session progress) and then I'd reload the session and it would restart back to FP1. I did this over probably 5 hours, so I wasted a good 5 hours of my life on the first time playing this game. The second game session with this game, this time with my team. I get through the Australian GP fine, but I try and play through Bahrain and get hit with the seemingly common Tyre compound glitch. I was in a tight race for third and was hype, and then got disqualified. I play 100% race distance so that's an hour and a half wasted. After this, I was pretty upset with the game and was turned off from playing it for a few days. I then get an email earlier today saying my account has been deleted because I didn't verify it, however, I got no verification email in the first place, which the email even acknowledges. This just kinda made me laugh because come on Codemasters, you've made a pretty bad first impression while I play your game, and even when I'm not playing it you still disappoint me. I finally decided to play again though today and was in a battle for first, fighting off Bottas until I encountered the same Tyre compound glitch in Bahrain and got Disqualified again. So that's another hour and a half wasted. This game has given me VERY LITTLE entertainment in the sense that every time I play it I am wasting my time because some glitch seems to always undo my progress. I genuinely don't even want to play anymore because it's left such a bad taste in my mouth. Not even sure what to do other than wait to play a game I paid 60 dollars for. Seems like the team didn't do a thorough enough job when fixing bugs before release. It's really a shame because the base game is so good.
TLDR: Have wasted around 7 hours with this game due to bugs in the game. Not sure what to do anymore other than wait for a game I already paid for to be properly fixed until it's actually playable. Can I even get a refund?
Serious frustration with the comedy of errors I've experienced with F1 2020
