Drivers DSQ on the grid after One-Shot Qualy (Online)

Recommended Posts

Looked through a few pages of this forum and could not find this bug listed, but has happened quite a lot to the people i race online. 

The scenario is setting up any online race which features "one shot" qualifying. If multiple players get DSQ or DNF the one shot lap, there seems to be a random chance that as the race generates, 2 cars try to spawn on the same grid slot, which instantly DSQs one of them meaning they cant race. 

Have not been able to quite confirm the exact cause / sequence (One thought is that it happens when multiple players first invalidate the lap, and then crash out (usually on purpose to save tyre wear). 

Anyone else come across similar and / or know the exact scenario which causes it?

This happened me a few times at the start but I only lasted a month. Was present in 2015 too.

Progress...

Hi Jambo98, could you give me a bit more information please. First off which platform are you playing on? Second how many players do you have in your session? It would also be useful to know if this is something you see every time the numerous DSQ / DNF occur or if it's something intermittent.

It varies. I have seen it happen from as few as around 5, up to having around 15 (i dont recall it happening with less then 5, and if we have more than around 15 we will almost always not be doing 1 shot qualy). 

It seems intermittent, but i would expect there is a pattern. Starting point is, i am fairly sure, where more than one driver initially is DSQ then DNF further round the lap. Beyond that, i am not sure if it is to do with the order drivers DNF or DNF at the point in the lap (the bug is like it cant determine the qualifying order)

Thanks for the extra info, we've given it a couple of goes and got a number of drivers to invalidate their lap times (I take it this is what you mean by DSQ) and then had some of them retire, get disqualified or just finish their lap. Some drivers did clean laps.

We haven't seen any issue with the grid by doing that. Do you also have players leaving or rejoining the session or can you think of anything else that might be relevant?
