WHERE IS THE SAFETY CAR IN CAREER? THE PROBLEM SOLVED.

[BorislavAndonov 21]

Codemasters where is the SC in career mode I play the F1 2020 game since friday morning and I HAVE NOT SC only VSC? I play 25% lenght, 75% difficult, SC on, damage full and simulation on both there are not SC. Also I have only one retirement in the race. Last year you promised that there will be 2 retirements per 25% lenght race. Sorry but lied us like customers.

Same here, I play in My Team, race distance 100%, difficulty 105%, and damage simulation, I am currently at RedbullRing and I had no SC despite the many abandonments of AI ... I only have yellow flags.

I've got two Safety Cars already and two VSC on My Team. I'm on Round 5.

On Netherlands I got Dani completely spinning like 50m ahead of me on the grid straight, alone. I had to swerve hard to not crash onto him. It triggered a VSC if I remember correctly. The Safety Car came on later for an unrelated incident with Kimi.

Retirements and DNF's I probably have on every race.

I had 1 vsc and sc in Vietnam regards to driver retirements I have had a few funnily enough both being Kevin magnussen and then I think another mechanical failure in Vietnam.

Odd, I've only done two races and I've had  three safety cars in total, two in Australia and one in Bahrain. Y'all sure you've got safety cars enabled? They're disabled by default.

YES I ALWAYS TURN IT ON I AM NOT STUPID. CAN YOU TELL YOUR SETTINGS LENGHT, DAMAGE AND DRIVER SETTINGS (AMATURE, BEGGINER, .................., CUSTOM)

[marioho 686]

Haha let's remain cool headed, shall we?

@BorislavAndonov AI 100. No assists except ABS and TC on Medium. Damage on Simulation, 25%. I play on PS4. Game version 1.04.

Also which version are you playing? I am on PC and version of the game is 1.03.

I realize the versions may be updated at different times for different things, but my Xbox One game is v. 1.02. When did the 1.03 update come through?

[Peachrocks 29]

Yeah there's usually about a 90% chance I get a safety car whenever anyone retires, admittedly the mechanic still needs work as well as mistakes and general mishaps on the part of the AI but whatever. I do mostly full length and occasionally half length races. I'm on Xbox and this was true even in 1.01 and is still true in 1.02.

I'm on Xbox, i've had plenty.

 

[Maffoom007 32]

Steam, 25%, 88 Difficulty, sim damage, 20 safety cars 4 VSC after 14 races.

 

[viniciusrsouza 30]

After they finally fixed Safety Car in F1 2019, it was noticeable that it's occurrence in Career Mode would be TOTALLY related to it's behavior in the first race of the season.

As an example, if in Australia you didn't have any Safety Car entrance, even after a huge accident, it was ABSOLUTELY clear that you would not see it in your next races. But if you had it appearing there, you could be sure that it would work every time during the other races.

This was observed by some people in Reddit and I even started a new career and, guess what?! It started to work A LOT in many races!

It's ridiculous, I know, but it's like a matter of luck if the Safety Car will work properly in your new and fresh career.

Im on Xbox 1.02, my Team, actually im in Zandvoort and i have in every race the Safety Car

1.03 was essentially the "day one patch", but there has been an issue releasing this to Xbox. I'm guessing Microsofts approval process is more stringent and this flagged an issue.

PlayStation is now on 1.04 as this fixed an issue with Time Trial that was a PS only issue.

[TurkeySloth2107 77]

You mean the Xbox team, correct? After all, PCs run on Windows, which is a Microsoft product as well. Thus, it wouldn't have gone through on PC, if Microsoft flagged it company-wide.

Well, you can say the Xbox team, but it's still Microsoft. The Xbox is essentially still the same OS as Windows 10 behind the scenes, but it's a closed ecosystem. They can control what games and apps are distributed.

Microsoft have no ability to stop software patches hitting PC unless they enforced everything to go through the Windows store.

I have some experience with mobile apps. We released an app last year and had to go through the approval processes for Google and Apple. Long and short of it is, Apple REALLY vet the app before it goes on there store, Google don't. I'm assuming it's similar between MS and Sony.

PS4, 95 AI, 50% race, full damage, 1.04 (but home screen says 1.03) 🤷‍♂️
 

Just reached Japan in S1 of MyTeam and I’ve had no issues with the Safety Car coming out. I don’t know exactly how many times I’ve seen it but I do know I’ve seen it more than the VSC.

Ok I will try. One question do you DELETE ALL SAVES in game settings menu and start new career OR just start new career without deleting the saves?

I noticed that everyone who has SC and write here start career with there own team. But I want to make a clean, standart career without making my own team. May be this is the thing what I am doing wrong or may be CODEMASTERS did not made their job like every year.

[TNTMati 42]

You know when you are on codies f1 forum seeing threads about not working sc ❤️

The crashing issue? I play on Xbox One X and my game sometimes is completely force closing when in Time Trial mode. It's not PlayStation only.

In 2019 I didn't need to uninstall the game and/or delete the old career I was doing. Just created another one.

First new save and in Australia there were two Virtual Safety Cars. Then, next races also only Virtual again.

So I decided to start another new career and finally had a Safety Car in Australia and also it showed up in all next races, except for Monaco. Don't know if it would appear also in Canada because I stopped playing to start 2020.

I'm starting my 100% races career in F2 so I can wait for the performance and liveries patches to be released. Also not playing My Team also. I hope I don't experience these issues.

[Worntoathread 865]

On PS4, I haven't seen a single SC or virtual SC after the first 13 races (all +25%). Many races warranted one with broken down cars standing on/by the track for over a lap.

Edited July 13, 2020 by Worntoathread

[Lukezan 1]

Same thing happening here.

ps4, my team 50% race distance I’m halfway through the season and haven’t seen the safety car yet, all the settings are definitely right.

No, the issue was that Time Trial was not working at all I believe. Barry put out a post stating what or was. It only applied to PS4.
