Hasan12308 0 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I have not been able to play a single online F1 race in this game, as I always get the message "Session no longer exists" after 2 or 3 laps max. I have noticed this after the update which had to reset all online progress for the players. Not sure what happened, but I keep getting the message "Session no longer exists" and I have checked and found the session still going, it is just me who got disconnected.I have verified my internet connection at home, and everything is fine. I am able to play other games online without any problem. There is a major issue in multiplayer which needs to be fixed. I buy the game for the online racing mainly.In F1 2016 I used to lose connection too, but it didn't kick me out, all of a sudden all other players turn to AI, and there is a red x on top of them, so I used to quit the session myself. However, that used to happen once in a while, which was acceptable, but in F1 2017 I am getting disconnected in EVERY session! Unbelieveable. Link to post Share on other sites
Hasan12308 0 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Anybody had this issue? or know how to fix it? Any help is appreciated Link to post Share on other sites
Hasan12308 0 Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 @F1Support please i beg you. I need ur help. I preordered the game like i do every year because i play online. Its the only mode i play and this year it is not working. I join a session and the most that i get is 2 laps after which im kicked out of the session “session no longer exists” every time. This never happened to me in 2016 or 2015 and i only play the game for 10 min during which i get disconnected from every online race so i switch to Fifa or any other game. This is frustrating as if i have thrown away $60 down the drain. Is there anything i can do? Please i need an answer or a solution. Dont leave me hanging in despair Link to post Share on other sites
Codemasters Staff CmRachel 0 Posted October 23, 2017 Codemasters Staff Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hi @Hasan12308, sorry for the delay in responding. Do you have a wireless or wired internet connection? Are you able to upload a video of the issue so we can see exactly what's going on please? Link to post Share on other sites
Hasan12308 0 Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Thank you @CMRachel for the reply! A glimpse of hope at last! :)I have a wireless connection and my router is only 2 meters away from the PS4. I can capture a video for you but how can i share it here?It's really simple, the video will be of me racing, and then all of a sudden I get a black box with a message "the session no longer exists" and I am sent back to the multiplayer menu.Also, when I am playing the events, while I am doing my laps, I get a message at the bottom of the screen saying I lost connection to the Playstation network. However, it does record my time later. I assure I am connected, my wireless connection never breaks. I play online with call of duty, FIFA, and I never lose connection. I have changed my router, called my ISP, and there is nothing abnormal.I also asked my friends who I play F1 with, they are all saying the same, everyone is complaining of online disconnection Link to post Share on other sites
Hasan12308 0 Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 @CmRachel any luck? Please let me know if you need the video and how I can share it here Link to post Share on other sites

Hasan12308 0 Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 @F1Support @CMRachel I tried using wired cable instead of Wifi, and same problem.I keep getting disconnected from session at different times. Sometimes in the first lap, sometimes during qualifying lap, and sometimes last lap of the race.I noticed that in the races I get disconnected, I always get that message about the bandwidth before the race sessions loads. Something about voice chat being enabled only for close players for bandwidths sake.But this is extremely frustrating. Please we need a fix for this ASAP or I will throw the game away as its useless for me without online play Link to post Share on other sites
timbley 0 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Similar issue: i dc even before I get to race. The game is showing me a black error box telling "Lost connection to Playstation Network". This happens every online session. I've got these issues ever since the patch 1.10 and as I'm doing league racing that really sucks. Pls help me out Link to post Share on other sites
hangar1851 6 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I have the same issue too. within 10 minutes of playing, with a wired connection that has no issues with anything else. I have the latest patch and everything. Are you going to try to fix it, or are we just getting broken games all the time? Link to post Share on other sites
Hasan12308 0 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 @CmRachel It seems there are many cases like mine. F1 2017 is doing something different that causes us to disconnect for no reason. I've tried reaching codemasters through facebook and through the forum, and no one is helping.Can you tell us how you coded the game, what checks it is doing during a game to finally decide that we are disconnected from Playstation network while in fact we are not?We can't play online. We buy the game to play online. I don't play career, or anything else Link to post Share on other sites
