Multiplayer championship issues

Recommended Posts

Hello cm,

It's still Impossible to host league races on f1 2017. I'll try to list our issues.

Platform: PS4
Mode: online championship
Distance: short quali, 50%
Settings: full damage, strict corners, SC on, pit assist/pit release assist off.

1. Safety car. It's seems like it doesn't come out at all. Or as we've experienced, some one crashes out, retires, leaves session after a while and a SC comes out. But it comes out every 5 laps for no reason. Very anoying.
2. Custom setups are being switched back to default setups by the game. This can happen at any time. We've seen it on the grid before the start. In quali and also mid race.
3. Grid places getting reshuffled. Besides all the mayhem in quali, not able to follow any times correctly in race director or on the hub in the garage, the results from quali aren't necessarily the places in the grid. People who joined during qualify were placed somewhere mid grid and other places are shuffled as well.
4. People are getting kicked randomly by the game from the session. And when they rejoin they have massive lag.
5. People lose ffb. It happens to wheel users and pad users. This also can happen at anytime. During qualify, mid race.
6. Time penalties aren't being added to the end result. One driver was so honest to notify his 5 second stop n go penalty wasn't being added to his end result. He didn't take it in the pits, so it should be added on the end result. Except it didn't. Maybe this happens with other penalties as well. Makes it very hard to trust the end results of a race and doing a league race.

I never thought I would say this, I miss f1 2016. A slipstream glitch or that SC bug, it all seems like peanuts compared to all this issues. Anyone else having these issues? And when can we expect an patch to fix these issues cm?

There should be patch notes in the next week, patch 1.8 expected week commencing 9th October. Hopefully by 16th October you'll have a better idea if league will be possible.

Hello TUFtvcrew, sorry to hear you're having these issues and thank you for reporting them in a useful way.

1. Are you saying that the SC rarely comes out but once it does it keeps coming out every five laps? How many times have you seen that happen?

2. This is something I've seen mentioned before but that I haven't seen happen myself. I'll take a look in to it.

3. Do you have a video of that anywhere? I'm very surprised to hear that the order from qualifying isn't being taken correctly to the start of the race. Are you doing the race straight after quali or are you leaving the game and doing it another time? Are people taking grid drop penalties from qualifying (or even practice if you have that on ever)?

4. When you say kicked do you mean they see a message saying they have been kicked or do you mean they're just disconnecting. That they have lag afterwards might be a sign that their internet connection isn't working very well. It's also well worth saying in the lobby to do the network bandwidth check before resuming or you'll default to a lower quality connection to other players because we cannot be sure of bandwidth etc.

5. I was sure we fixed people losing FFB a few patches ago. You're still seeing this in 1.7?

6. Have you seen this happen more than once? Again if you have a video that might help. It owuld also be useful to know if that person left and rejoined or the host had left the session.

1. Yes that's exactly it. It happened twice now. We had to redo the first time because of it. Second time the same thing happened. It was at Bahrain.

3. We restarted the lobby after qualify. Once in race the positions were mixed up. I'll ask the person if he's got video of it. Restarting the lobby in between qualify and race seems to trigger a lot maybe? We try not to it as much as possible.

4. Yes I mean kicked. Happened twice in the same race. First time he wasn't able to join back. That was the reason we had to restart the lobby after qualify.

5. Yes happened last Thursday.

6. I'll ask the person if he got video of it.

Just to add that in our league we experienced custom setups being reset after quali/on the grid.  We had parc ferme switched on but those that noticed were able to change their setup as well.

The incorrect quali grid issue happens regularly whereby the final, correct grid isn't known properly until the session ends.  The actual grid is correct at that point.

Also, the main connection issue for us seems to occur whilst waiting to start the race on the grid. 
This seems random and not dependent on the user and/or their connection quality.  Basically the  race seems like it's about to be start after the countdown but it seems to have a hiccup and the loading sign appears next to a racer's name.  Sometimes they're kicked (and their car left on the grid), sometimes they just get a bad start.

at 0:30 of this clip there's also a slow motion glitch that occurs, this still happens now since I actually experienced this a few days ago.
