Career Mode time penalty bug

Recommended Posts

i don't know if anyone has experienced this bug. when i have time penalty it doesn't apply my total time at the end of the race. like i'm 15th and i have 3 sec penalty, and someone pass the chequered flag 1 sec after me, at the end of the race i'm still considered as 15th. i tested this couple of times to check maybe the driver that behind me also has time penalty, but never saw other drivers have penalty. i'm playin %100 length race, not sure if this bug still happens on %25 or %50.

I had a 3 sec penalty in Suzuka (career, 100% distance), finished about three seconds ahead of Hamilton and results screen showed he was classified about 0.2 behind me. So it worked fine for me.

Bit of an obvious one but are you sure you never pitted after you got the penalty you may of served it then if you did only a suggestion.

it wasn't served type penalty. i went off the track limits 3 times and got 3 sec penalty. even if it is served type i didn't pit after i got the penalty.

Ok, i think i understand why this bug occurs. When i'm not lapped, at the end of the race my time seems like 1:25:17. And if i have time penalty it aplies to my total time everything is good so far. But when i'm lapped, my time seems +1 lap. It doesn't show my total time, when this happens, no matter how many time penalty i got, it doesn't apply to my total time, cuz it shows "+1 lap" on my total time.

Did you check the lap times in race director? It should show ‘unserved penalty’ or something like that behind your last lap time. I guess, like you said, the game just doesn’t apply it when you don’t complete all possible laps.

It should as it matters against those finishing on that lap.

Of course. It’s clearly a bug.
