Team Radio not working during some phases of the race/whole race. Is it normal?

Recommended Posts

Sometimes pressing the Team Radio button produces only an interference sound 'krrr!' and nothing else. At times it happens only in some phases of a race, or after you just spoke to Jeff. Some other times (i.e. a race I ran in Singapore yesterday) the team radio is unavailable during the whole race. Is this supposed to be normal? Is this simulating a broken communication system? Please explain, I can't understand... -___-

That's kinda hard to gauge depending on where you are in the race or, unless when you summon the RD he does not respond at all.

No, i think thats a new Bug from the latest patch. Had the same issue yesterday through a whole 20% online race.

It's not a bug! Sometimes radio crackles/don't connect in RL.
Sorry man but thats rubbish. They never would build a failure in the game, where you radio is broken. I couldn't ask anything from Lap 5 to Lap 18 in the race because the radio HUD wasn't showed. Thats definitely a bug. Otherwise "Jeff" would told us that the radio was broken or they try to fix it that it works some laps later. But not a whole race.

Yeah fair enough just being positive! 

I have heard thought the the radio cuts out under the tunnel at Monaco ;)

Moved to Technical Assistance.

Can you tell me which platform you're playing on and if you've seen this on patch 1.5.0 please.

Same happened to me yesterday during 25% career race in Austria (PC). Jeff was calling me in for scheduled pitstop in L6. I decided to stay out one more lap and did not go in. In the midle of  L7 I pushed the radio button and selected 'box this lap'. Jeff  did not respond at all. After my third attempt he responded 'Understood box this lap'.
I guess he was pissed off me ignoring his call in L6.  
I liked it actually :)

Hey, I came across a bug in reference to this. I am playing on ps4 and it has happened in career mode and online where I will ask the engineer to box, but he thinks I am asking him to change tyre. Very off putting as I have to re-change the tyre for my next pit stop.

I ran in to this for the first time last night.
  • PS4 patch 1.7
  • Multiplayer League private lobby at Mexico
  • Assists frozen on Elite
  • 50% race with simulation damage, safety car, equal performance, strict corner cutting
  • G29 and DualShock4 with stock PS4 earpiece/microphone plugged into DS4. I use voice commands for the pit
During my first stint everything was OK. The last command I was able to give the pits was "Box this lap". I pitted, got my tires changed, and when I went back out I tried a voice "Full race update". Nothing. "Driver in front". Nothing. "Driver behind". Nothing. Then I also noticed that when pressing square (my pit menu communication button) the mini-menu wouldn't even pop up. I just got the radio crackle but no commands were obeyed and no mini-menu was appearing. This continued for the rest of the race.

I also got a strategy change suggestion from the pits but I couldn't even confirm that or keep current strategy either.

As @ElCapitanAsh states, it's not life or death, but what if I wanted to change my tire strategy at the last stop? Since the mini-menu wasn't working I couldn't change the tire compound for my next stop.

I've had this 'problem' a few times, i found out pausing the game for a sec will get the radio working again. :)
Pause + Multiplayer =  :'(
