BUG - Safety car and disqualified IA drivers (almost all of them)

Recommended Posts

I was doing a race on Spain; variable weather, full length, 90% IA and game updated with 1.11 patch.

It was the 33 lap when it started to rain. For one reason or another, the safety car came on the track. 3 laps after, half of the IA drivers were disqualified for repeated drive-through penalties caused by excessive speed with deployed safety car.

Then, the safety car came out 3 times more and after the last one I remained on track with just 5 IA drivers, all of them penalized with more drive-through penalties when the safety car went back into the pitlane.

So, I was first with more then 20 seconds on the second driver. I closed the game. This was the first race I did with F1 2017, after many hours spent on previous Codemaster's F1 games. I had never experienced such a thing before.

I hope this bug is extraordinary, otherwise I will have to disable the safety car.

That’s a shame. This is a very common bug and it should be easy to test and fix. Clearly Codemasters doesn't care about their own game.

Anyway... disabling the safety car disables the virtual safety car as well?

Yeah I believe it does. (Disable the VSC as well.)

I haven't had anything extraordinarily as bad as that. My gripe with the safety cars is the restarts. If you're not right up the gearbox of the car in front you will ghost and the AI will be allowed by you. That is so dumb. It's also dumb that the backmarkers aren't allowed to unlap themselves. They end up becoming deadly missiles after the restart.
