Online Championship AI running 10 secs slower than expected

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

First of all it's good to see codies solving bugs. Unfortunately I think Online Championship is messed up this time (I'm not sure if this was happening before). I was playing F12017 with my cousin yesterday (online championship). Here it is what happened:

- We started configuring the lobby with 85% AI Level. The first thing we noticed was for me (the host) the AI level shown was 85% but for my cousin it was 0 (Very Easy). At first we thought it was only cosmetic issue and the real AI level would be 85%. We also tried to start a new championship but with a different host (not me this time) and it happened in the opposite way. The conclusion is the host always see the correct value.

- Advancing to the qualify we had more issues. While in the garage, the timings were all wrong. Firstly, the guys on the top of the table were the ones with no lap time set (including both human and AI). 
- During the session, the game was showing wrong positions for our drivers, example: I could see that I was P7 on my screen but my cousin was seeing something different (like P10). Jeff was also giving us wrong positions via Radio (I've heard that I was P2 and on my screen I was seeing P10).
- I also think there were differences between what we saw in the garage (timings) and what we had on the screen outside. I can't remember exactly what happened but I remember at certain point one of us was in the garage e the other driving and we were discussing that we were seeing different positions.
- We finished the qualify (we retired with 1 min remaining). The timings looked right and realistic (maybe the simulated times were working).

- Advancing to the race, more problems: Clearly the majority of the cars weren't running 85% difficulty level. We were running +/- around 1:28.xxx (we aren't skilled drivers) and the AI was running 1:35.xxx. We also noticed that some (very few) AI cars were running correctly (eg. Hamilton, Ocon etc). After finishing the race I've recorded a video with the AI lap times (Race Director) to post here. We also took a screenshot of the lobby settings. I hope this helps.


This is the recorded video. Please notice that apparently the AI switched to "correct race pace" only on the last lap (!?).

Everything else you can see in the video/screenshot

Sorry for the long post and for my (bad) english.
Cheers

I have the EXACT same problem.

In version 1.05 this was still working fine, 1.06 made it go mad.
Also i did not see the "correct race pace" in the last lap, mostly because i wasn't paying attention to it.

We had different drivers running normale pace (hamilton, grosjean) and non-brain AI (Redbull & ferrari).

The online Championship is not fun at all with so much random driving around.

There's a few threads about this. As I've said on those, we are actively working on resolving this issue. A fix will be released once we are satisfied that it has fully corrected the issue.

Same problem here, but its not just online championship. I tried a single online race difficulty 90 with a friend and the AI said 0 for him, all the top cars qualified 8 or 9 seconds off the slower cars times..... I cant play like this, there is no challenge. I on ps4

Same problem here guys. I did a championship with a friend. And for every race the positions were al the same all with the 'realistic' setup; 
(Without us 2 switching positions) 
1. HAM
2. MAS
3. GRO
4. OCO
5. MAG
every race... with bottas on p10 and the redbulls down to p15 and 16. 

Also; p1 - p10 were very hard to pass, but p11 and up, it was like they were not racing at all.

Take it easy guys. They are looking into it and hopefully it will get fixed very soon. I know it's annoying but all we have to do is wait.

Cheers

Take it easy? This has been broken for weeks. When is the fix coming? How much did we pay for the privilege of having a broken game? Terrible...

I have stopped playing untill a next patch comes up.
I always play with a friend of mine in online championschip, it's no fun at this point since we both get podiums easily now while hamilton nearly laps us.
