SAFETY CAR NEVER COMES OUT IN ONLINE CHAMPIONSHIP

Recommended Posts

Platform: Xbox one 
Gamemode: Online championship

Me and some friends have done 3 full seasons now in classic cars on "online championship" but yet after over 70 races (and many crashes) not one safety car or VSC was called out. We also did a modern car championship to compare and that only had 4 ish in the whole 24 races. In comparison we did a custom race with the r26 and got a safety car first time (which is how it should be in online championship).

Thanks for hopefully reading this and taking into account the issue

SC DEPLOYED BECAUSE A PLAYER LEAVES THE SESSION! LEAGUE RACE!

F1Support said:
Okay so having looked in to this it looks like the issue has morphed since last year. Back in 2016 we had an issue that any time a player retired it could trigger the safety car, that was really annoying because it meant it was seen frequently even when it wasn't needed. So, way back in March someone made a change to stop the SC being triggered by a player retirement, but that had the knock on effect of also stopping it being triggered by terminal damage because that's also treated as a retirement, that's why you're not seeing the SC much in your sessions now.

Now the second issue, I've tried this on Singapore and Russia and only saw it at the latter. But you're correct that when a player who has terminally damaged their car then quits the SC is deployed.

So in summary there are two bugs here but the net result is you can see the SC in your league races because two wrongs do in this case make a right. You'll just have to have a rule that people either quit straight away after terminal damage to trigger it or they don't quit at all.

100% race distances the story so far. Four cars suffer terminal damage in a race no safety car

Reinstall patch and game to see, If that could fix it. No luck there.

Race a 50% race terminal damage. Oh what's this it magically appears from outta no where :sarcasm:

Reinstall game again still the same problem with 100% screen flicker etc. This is beyond a joke. We part our money for a working game and all we get in return is bear faced lies. Sort yourselves out and regroup please. I don't know what the story is there. I'm unsure if you have access to the all the tools you need or proper staffing levels but all we'd like is some quality control with support communication of fixing an issue. Instead of fixing while making parts of the game even worse after a patch. tbh it's getting beyond ridiculous now it has to be said.
