Too safe pit release

Recommended Posts

It's really frustrating to play career mode with Renault because their it is last or second last on the lane and I'm always held up id there's another car in few ten meters radius going thru lane. And the hold up lasts way too long after the car has passed my pit. Never being released right behind somebody. Other cars are always far away when I finally get the green light. It has been a real issue in few races because I many times lose many seconds when stopping and trying over/undercut.

Love the F1 games by codies but this year there has been more problems like this than I remember from last years. Many of them have been discussed here and I hope they are being fixed in near future.

I have the same issue, also in Renault. If any car is anywhere in the pit lane at the same time, my crew will wait releasing me until after it has passed. 

This is a serious gameplay issue that takes the fun out of the game.

I finished the first three races so far and happened in China and Bahrain (in Australia I was on a different strategy than the cars around me). Career 25%, PS4 1.5, AI 75%

Hello both, thank you for reporting this. We'll have a look at this and see if we think it's a problem.

If anyone else sees the same issue please let us know which platform you're on, which team you're playing as and if you have a video of the issue and in it we can see how far away the car that stops your release is (i.e. you're looking backwards while in the pit box) that would be interesting to see.

@F1Support i've also seen a bug with the pitstop release, but a the other way. i got released of a pitstop turning right into the path of an AI-car behind me causing him to ghost.
i think there is a problem, that when the light already turned green (and you forget that there are manual pitstops this year) and you wait to long to keep going, when a car in the fastlane comes to close, the light does not turn red again, it just stays green making it possible for an actual "unsave release" into the car behind.

Azerbaijan. Sauber Alfa Career. Pit 6th, exit 19th lol

I'm sure I've saved it so will upload. As a hint its the same issue I remember from  '16. Twice I felt a real ease was possible as I watched everyone pass.
