    "Had the exact same issue on Xbox. Seems like the 1.08 patch messed up saving and seems to have broken everyone’s games on console." At least 100,000 playing the game and 10 failures is a .01% failure rate.( hardly everyone ) How can you blame the patch when 99.99% of users did not have this problem This is a complicated software issue and random anomaly (possibly caused by process).

    "Uninstall and reinstall? Hours and Days of gameplay for nothing?  Is a Joke!!!" Big deal > you had fun playing but the file got corrupted. Restart a new MyTeam. If you change gameplay use confirm changes not some other method to exit. If you get the message to attempt a recovery of corrupted data again (which I doubt you will) > Say NO > you will probably only lose the last race before the autosave got corrupted.

    Usually a 150 to 180 degree corner.

    I turn into the corner fine, I am turning at the apex - brakes off - I hit the gas but it doesn't accelerate > crickets!

    If I release the steering turn a bit then I get the gas on and it accelerates slowly.

    Hello. I would really like to be able to pause the game while racing, where the time freezes, but there is a slightly opaque MFD menu and ability to talk with engineer. I can't concentrate on driving 200 MPH on a winding track with 10 AI trying to wreak me and looking at the right side for my MFD or try to remember voice commands.

    I think this is a great idea.

    Sure there are ways to adapt to the current setup, but this is the suggestion section for improvements.

    It may not be realistic for Lewis and Max, but they are paid millions and their doorbell never rings during a race.

    If we are in a long race this would give us a break and easy re-entry into the race.

    Also I would like to have our driver triangle on the full map stand out more  > like a larger bright color so you could more easily see your location on the track with a quick glance.

    If the failure chance is so low why did both upgrades fail?

    It is an in game realistic representation of capitalism. Pay us more and we make it not fail!!

    I am not saying running with a worn part causes other parts to wear faster.

    Regardless of the condition of any component, when you run laps you are putting more wear on all the components.

    So you change to a bad part to run more laps-the bad part gets more wear which doesn't matter. However, the unchanged parts will continue to wear while you run laps. Not because the bad part is causing it but because the engine is running.

    I love the handling model and am enjoying myself, but I am finding the game just makes for very humdrum races. I am doing full practice sessions, full qualify and 25% race. I usually end up qualifying about where the pace of my car is, varies by track but usually mid pack, then I can usually jump a couple of positions at the race start and then because of my natural pace I spend the entire race trying to hold off a couple of quicker cars and never have the option of doing much else.

    Every race is starting to feel the same, how is best to add more variation to the game?

    That's funny. The 18 cars behind Mercedes have been saying the same thing for the last 3 years IRL.

    @TIHG once you swap out your first engine, or first component in any category for that matter, if you really want to put some extra legs in practice you can switch back and forth between current and past components with no penalty. 

    Good advice, but until you change all components in the power unit you are still wearing the parts that haven't been changed. Those engines start smoking after three races @ 20 laps per track. By the time I hit the 10th race I have to use the + mod and get a grid penalty.

    Can we run laps in Time Trial with our setup and not effect the engine wear in the career?
