AI not appearing on mini-map

Recommended Posts

So I was racing in Bahrain, career, 50%, PS4. And the positions list in the top right showed Verstappen 2 seconds behind me. But looking at the mini-map, the next car behind me was my team mate Grosjean with a yellow dot on the map, about 5 seconds back. I thought hmm, maybe the positions list hasn't updated yet. However, when I look backwards, Verstappen is a second behind me! about to attack. And sure enough, he is invisible on the mini-map! a stealthy attack indeed.
He didn't appear on the mini-map for the rest of the race. Anyone else seen this? @Lozzy

I've seen it. It was Verstappen for me as well, maybe 0-2 seconds behind me. Career 100% Races PC 1.5.0. Can't remember the track.
I had an idea of what might have caused it but I can't remember it now. Maybe something to do with flashback.

I had this as well and it was also Verstappen! 25% race on Austria (PC), what I thought was 2nd was +20sec behind on the minimap, but max was actually right behind me, and I've just had it again in Singapore and it was also Max!

Hi all, we'll have a look in to it. Having a look in Quick Race he is shown on the mini map at the beginning of a race so something is causing his marker to disappear.

Had the same in Canada. Also Max Verstappen. His dot was there at the beginning of the race. Noticed it was missing after a lap or 5

We had a look in to this but couldn't reproduce the problem. Has anyone noticed what happened to make his dot on the minimap disappear? The only thing that should remove a car is a retirement due to damage, we tried that including retiring the Toro Rosso cars too because since he was moved between teams maybe something somewhere in the game still thinks he's at Toro Rosso but still couldn't make the bug happen.

PC 1.5.1
Career, Spain 100%
My teammate is Hamilton.
I started P1, Verstappen started P5

I flashbacked after the first 2 turns of the race. I don't know how long his dot wasn't there (maybe since the beginning; probably since the flashback), but within the first 3 laps, I noticed it wasn't there.

Also, while noticing it's not there, he's P2 and I'm P1. I let him pass to see if his dot reappeared when he took P1, but it didn't, so position might not matter.

His dot is still not there after a save/load (did not exit the race). Also still missing after our first stops. He's P7 and I'm P8.

His dot has returned after saving, quitting the game, and loading.

No matter how many times I try to flashback, his dot won't disappear again.

Monaco 100%

Verstappen and Magnussen dots are missing. They are P17 and P16 respectively. 

Earlier in the race, there was a VSC period. I have also flashbacked a few times I think.

I remember back in Bahrain, there was a safety car period where Verstappen and Magnussen's dots were orange just like the safety car dot. I thought their dots might disappear when the safety car went in, but they didn't. They just went back to the normal gray color.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Canada 100%

Verstappen (P3) and Magnussen (P22) dots are missing.

VSC on Lap 1. No Flashbacks were used.

I realized the dots were missing when I was on Lap 5.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Baku 100%

Verstappen and Magnussen dots are the same as the safety car dot when the safety car came out.

Those two guys have weird dots.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Austria 100%

Verstappen and Magnussen dots are the same as the safety car dot when the safety car came out.

Verstappen dot disappeared when safety car went in.
Too hard to tell with Magnussen.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Silverstone 100%

Race starts on Intermediate. Verstappen spins on Turn 1. Verstappen's dot is not visible and there was no Flashback/VSC/SC.
I noticed his dot wasn't there because he's P22. I can't tell with Magnussen because he's in a crowd.

Safety car on Lap 14 because Magnussen Mechanical Failure. Magnussen and Verstappen dots same as safety car dot.

Safety Car brought Verstappen's dot back temporarily. Gone again after safety car went in.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Happens on 1.6.0 too

Overall: I don't know what causes it. Sometimes it seems to happen without cause. I race Career 100% and it happens in almost all races.

Did you try to reproduce it in career mode?
That's where the problem seems to be

No Verstappen on my mini map either, over the course of a whole season on career mode 25% distance.

At no point was he on the mini map in ANY of the races. ( I don't know about quali or practice sessions).
