f1 patch 1.20 [PS4] [F1 2019 v1.18] [Career] Safety Car Deployment

[spirus91 0]

In the 1st corner of the AUS GP, HAM tries to overtake me and spins to the gravel, causing a slight traffic problem. Yellows come out, and then SC comes out. However, HAM was able to continue the race and I waited 3 turns for the SC to go into the pits for absolutely no reason. Then, in the same GP, at lap 12 (or 13) VER tries to overtake me again in the same corner, and he spins, facing the other way blocking Stroll who was right behind him. Stroll, for some reason stops instead of overtaking him and then the rest of the pack that where a couple of seconds away, come full speed, even though there where yellow flags. 3 or 4 of them withstood terminal damage and 3 or 4 went to the pits to change front wings from all these collisions. Yet, there was no SC deployed for some reason.

Hi @spirus91, BarryBL from Codies has given an update on some requested things in the "Community Requested" thread, which you should see at the top of the Technical assistence, including the Safety Car deployment. 

This is what he said: (hope it helps you)

Safety Car. We have some tweaks which are planned to improve the deployment behaviour which are currently in test and hope to release in a future patch.

HI @spirus91,

Could you please complete the below, with video, so I can consult the developers on this:

A short description of the problem:

Game Version (Shown on the Start screen in the bottom left hand corner):

Game Mode, including if it was Single Player or Multiplayer (Time Trial, Career, Grand Prix, Custom Game etc):

If in Multiplayer, how many players and how many AI?

What happened in the lead up to the problem?

If you get an error message, the exact wording of the error message you're receiving:

Any accessories you are using (wheel, pad, etc):

If you have any videos or screenshots, please share them. If the video is long, please include a timestamp for when the issue appears:

That seems like a very generic question. Every question you made, I have already asked it in the topic title.

Regarding any video, I haven't got any. I didn't save the highlights and I have processed in the game. This happened in my 1st race and I am now in the 6th.

Hi @spirus91,

Have you had any other examples of erratic Safety Car behaviour in your save? Please note that we do have a patch coming soon that will address Safety Car deployment. 

If you could let us know on how the Safety Car performs after the next patch release, that would be great. Also, adding video in future reports does help us try to replicate and analyse any issues.

No, I had no other SC appearances since that. I stopped the game though, since the career mode was pretty boring in season 3 and quite repeatable.

Hi @spirus91,

Okay.

If you do play the game and see any issues, after the next patch, please let me know. I'm going to mark this as 'Latest Patch'
