Hey, I'm looking to change my PSN name and it gave me a warning on the Playstation site that changing your name can affect leaderboards or saves etc. Are there any issues with changing my PSN name for F1 2020? Ie losing setups, wheel settings, leaderboards etc? Thanks! James

Description: To preface, I’m uncertain if this is a bug or intended. Under safety car conditions, if you make the slightest bit of contact with another car (or another car contacts you), you receive a 5 second penalty. PS4 1.12 (and previous versions) Unranked Wireless 14 players in lobby Do others experience this?: It seems to happen to anyone who makes contact during the safety car Replication: Can replicate through contact under safety car in all races How do you make the problem happen?: Under safety car, make (any sort) of contact with another car.

A detailed description of the issue: (Video A) During a safety car, if I accidentally overtake another car, I rightfully get an illegal overtake warning. However, when giving the position back, the car I originally overtook now unrightfully gets an illegal overtake warning. This results in a to and fro-ing between the two cars who are both trying to avoid an illegal overtake penalty. (Video B) There was also an occasion where I overtook somebody just after we got a safety car, and the car ahead had to unrightfully concede his place Platform: PS4 Version: 1.09 Ranked/Unranked/Leagues: Unranked Wired or Wireless Connection?: Wireless The amount of players in your session?: 16 Were you the host?: No Did this issue happens for everyone in the session, just some people or just yourself? What did they see?: Just me and the car that I experienced the bug with had the issue. Can you make the problem happen again?: Yes, I have experienced it twice in two races when I've accidentally overtaken/been overtaken by another driver under safety car. Replication Method: Car 1 that is ahead, slow down and allow car 2 behind to pass. Car 2 should now rightfully get an Illegal Overtake warning. When Car 1 passes Car 2 to regain their position, Car 1 will now get the Illegal Overtake warning, and Car 2's warning will go away. Report Code: HTHK-RVBM-GDAV-EAKJ is the most recent race (Spain) Video Evidence: Video A https://www.twitch.tv/videos/768222883 https://clips.twitch.tv/GracefulSplendidOcelotKreygasm Video B https://clips.twitch.tv/CoweringAntsyEggPJSalt

Thanks a lot @BarryBL!

Hey @BarryBL, Hope you’re well. As an update for this, I opened the ports recommended, but unfortunately I am still getting this bug whereby the leaderboards stop loading (and the game indefinitely hangs on Communicating with Online services after exiting time trial). Do you have any other recommendations for a possible fix? Would providing Report Codes help in solving network issues like this? If so I’m happy to gather a list of report codes from my time trial sessions this week 🙂

1. A detailed description of the issue. Please include any error codes here. When I first go into time trials, the leaderboards load up fine and there are no issues. However, if I decide to move to a new track (through 'Changing Car and Track Selection'), I find that pretty much most of the time, the leaderboards fail to load. The interface will say 'Downloading Data' (I believe), but no data will actually download. The 'Downloading Data' widget will disappear from the top left and no data will be shown. No data will be shown on both the Global and Friends leaderboard. 2. Platform PS4 3. What version of the game you are using (Shown on the start screen in the bottom left corner of the screen) 1.06 4. Game-mode? Time Trial 5. What are your replication numbers? Minimum test attempts are 4. Please also add EXACT replication steps for us to try too. This has happened >10 times, following the above steps in 1. I think that it occurs when I have been on the initial time trial track for a good while. I believe that the issue has also happened, albeit more rarely (or at least less noticeably) when I have stayed on the one original track for an extended period, as I have think the 'You are now X on the Leaderboard' stops showing up, and the ghost that isn't my car is an old, slower ghost. 6. What troubleshooting have you attempted? Please always try to attempt to fix the issue I have tried quitting time trials, and going back into time trials. This either a) unfortunately doesn't resolve the issue or b) I get stuck on 'Communicating with Online Services' when I quit the time trial, and aren't able to attempt to go back into time trial. (this is different to the noted Multiplayer Racing issue I believe, as this just happens in the menus). The only resolution I've found is a full restart of the game. 7. What peripherals are you are using (gamepad, wheel make & model etc) Logitech G29 + pedals. 8. Any screenshots or video of the issue? If the video is long, please include a timestamp for when the issue appears.

Hi @BarryBL, Ah okay, I thought that might have been the case but I thought I’d raise it just in case it wasn’t. Thanks for clarifying - just got to make sure I don’t hit anyone in front!

Thanks @BarryBL! Made sure I had replication and the Report Code for this 🙂

A detailed description of the issue. When the (full) safety car was ending, and the safety car was driving off, I was suddenly unable to apply any throttle whatsoever for around 5-7 seconds. When I was able to apply the throttle again and take back my position, I was given an illegal overtake warning. I believe that the driver who overtook me also received the illegal overtake warning, meaning one of us would have had to have gotten a penalty for the action. PS4 1.09 Unranked Wireless 17 players in the session I was not the host. In this instance, it appears it was just me that had this issue I’ve not been able to replicate the problem in following safety car restarts. However, I have noticed this issue happen in TRL Limitless’ Australia video, and another streamed video. I’ll link these two with my clip below. I’m unsure what I did to cause this problem. Unfortunately I didn’t make a note of the report code. Here is a clip of the issue. Note the illegal overtake warning too https://clips.twitch.tv/OilyAwkwardJellyfishOSkomodo I also streamed the entire session if that helps! for TRL Limitless’ video - 54:40 is where LVA Brown in 12th experiences the same issue. I also saw an instance of this on a recent stream from last Sunday, but I’ve been unable to find the footage.

Hi Barry, Regarding the Time Trial leaderboards failing to load (which I think also ties in with Communicating with Online Services forever hanging), I've gone through the threads and found all posts regarding this topic. Hopefully this can raise enough awareness for this to be looked into. The top post has a bug report in which should provide all information. As a summary: after a period of time (5-~25 mins), the global and friends leaderboards stop loading in Time Trial. Upon exiting time trial when this happens, the game infinitely loops on "Communicating with Online Services". The game also can infinitely loop on "Communicating with Online Services" upon leaving multiplayer after a session. (I've just seen your reply regarding opening port 3074 for TCP and UDP and will try that today). Thanks

Hi all, I’m confident that this is the same underlying issue as this recent post. Just to reiterate the above points, this is not a 1.08 or 1.09 issue. I made a post surrounding this in July - Once the time trial leaderboards stop showing up, then after leaving the Time Trial the game forever hangs on “Communicating with Online Services”. Also, if I play, say, multiplayer for an extended period of time, after leaving the lobby I’ll get “Communicating with Online Services” forever hanging again. Apologies for jumping onto these forum posts, but this has been an issue that a lot of us have been suffering with since launch, and it’d be much appreciated if this could be looked at as a bug, and not simply a client-side connection issue (although that may play a part). Thanks

Hi Barry, I believe NAT type 1 involves connecting directly to the modem without a router which is infeasible for a proportion of people. I also have a Type 2 NAT but I’ve changed my in game NAT strictness to ‘Open’ on other games (e.g COD) by forwarding ports. Do certain ports need to be opened for F1 2020? Thanks

Barry initially responded but hasn’t since unfortunately, even after multiple replies to the post from myself.

Hi, to bump this, this is exactly the same issue I posted about with my ‘time trials leaderboards’ post over a month back. this is still an issue. Id really appreciate if somebody from the team could acknowledge this.

Hi @BarryBL, Have you been able to recreate this? It’s still quite a significant issue! I’m forced to frequently close the application and restart throughout a session. Thanks, James

Hey @caerphoto, by your above message, do you mean that the values your calculator currently produces are already correct for F1 2019(and 2020), or that we need to double the values as the calculator still calculates F1 2018 values?

Question in title - I'm just wondering if the invalidation negatively affects safety rating!

Hi, is there any update as to when the UDP data for ghost lap times is going to be patched?

Hey, in fact its the other way round. My leaderboards will initially load after a few seconds, but eventually, they fail to load (as described above).

Hi @syl2zero, Out of interest, who is your internet service provider?

Hi @Meelty, Out of interest, who is your internet service provider?

Hey @Ender0042, I think I found a potential bug with the application. for some reason this wouldn’t work for me, and after some troubleshooting I realised that it’s because the Local IP that was provided in the application (top right) was incorrect. Looking at ipconfig in CMD, it seems to have taken the IP address from ‘Wireless LAN adapter Local Area Connection* 4’, instead of ‘Wireless LAN adapter wifi’. is this intended? My ISP uses CGNAT if that changes anything. however it does work now!

Hi @Ender0042, I decided to just set this up on my PC for my F1 on PS4. However, after following all the steps, I can’t seem to get it to work. The app just says ‘Waiting for a session’. I presume this is a network issue. Do you know how to resolve this? thanks in advance.

Hi @Ender0042, Edit: sorry I meant as in if it’s possible to port personally - I wasn’t planning on stealing your app! this looks so incredible! I’m so excited to start using. I’d like to get this as an iOS app if at all possible, and was wondering if you think this would be compatible as an iOS app? looking at the Qt documentation, it seems like a port to iOS is something they do. Do you know if there would be any issue with trying to port this? the documentation talks about possible ‘specific hardware or software’ not being available that would cause an issue. Documentation here: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/porting-to-ios.html

Hi @BarryBL, hope you’re well. After now getting into online a lot more, I’m pretty confident that this is actually a ‘Connecting to online services’ bug. As in both ranked and unranked, I can stay in a lobby for a good while, but as soon as I leave, I get the ‘connecting to online services’ forever and can’t get back to the menus.
