2.       Platform:

PC

 

3.       What version of the game you are using (Shown on the start screen in the bottom left corner of the screen) 

1.13

4.       Game-mode? 

Online Unranked 

5.       What are your replication numbers? Minimum test attempts are 4. Please also add EXACT replication steps for us to try too. 

Only ever had the bug once

6.       What troubleshooting have you attempted? Please always try to attempt to fix the issue

Unplugging wheel, remapping button to check the button hadn't broken

8.       Any screenshots or video of the issue? If the video is long, please include a timestamp for when the issue appears.   

None because it was a league race so I was trying to make the best of a bad situation.

I just had same issue on PS4 using the thrustmaster T300 with F1 wheel add on. I was in My Team.

I just had this last night at Bahrain in an Unranked league race on Xbox One with the Thrustmaster TX with F1 Wheel add-on, the ERS went into overtake mode when the other cars were lining up on the grid and when the lights went out and i gained control of the car i could not turn it off at all.

Exactly what has happen to me in my last two leauge races. Cheers Codies. See you let the work experience kid do the coding...again!

I think the trick is to not switch to overtake before you have control for the race start. Note you can still do this before the lights go out if you want so you're losing nothing. Or at least you can in GP mode and I'd have thought the same was true online?

Do you generally find that insulting people is the best way to get them to help you out?

Its a joke! Bet you're fun at parties! 

[Lakrits 71]

Let me guess, jokes aren't really your forte?

[Skyzocka 1]

Yeah the same thing happened for me twice already and that's not really useful in a league race.

Confirm that this is an issue on Xbox also. If you are in overtake at the end of the formation lap (when Ai takes over) it stays on. Only way to fix is to leave the session and rejoin as the Ai will drop you out of overtake. 

Let's see how long it takes to fix.....

If this is the only time this happens then, as I posted above, just don't do this. There is simply no benefit from doing so as far as I can see.

[Lakrits 71]

I don't get it, why use overtake during the formation lap? If you want it to be active during the start you can activate it when the starting lights go on. Not that it's all that effective at the actual start, it will only increase the risc of wheel spin.

That was what I was thinking of.

I have to third this here. There is no gain to being in 'overtake' mode at the end of the formation lap, and is illogical to do so from a race standpoint. If anything, you are losing out on a small amount of charge.

Also, just attempted a quick replication in Grand Prix and failed. Do you have a custom control setup that you are using at the moment.

Hi Barry

 

How have you been? I been In parties with guys on ps4 who have had the same happen during league races, 

Both were in the mercedes in unranked. They are fairly sweaty guys so I assume they had the button toggled before the lights go out to get the best launch

Both use different wheels (g29 and CSL elite)

Lobby details:

Unranked

Short Quali 

Formation lap - on

50% race distance

 

I'll try to get their footage

Also any chance of a setting to swap from toggle to push and hold

Hi @GFORCE_S3RV3R,

Has been added as a suggestion internally. 

I'm good thank you, how are you? I'll try and give this another test, but I could not replicate offline. If you can add a video showing the issue, may help me achieve replication on this. I did try in Grand Prix, and the Overtake button worked as expected.

This is link to knee of their streams, formation lap starts at around 23min mark,

Initially turns on the overtake once he gains control of the car, remains in overtake throughout the lap, it is auto disengaged when ai takes over then reengages just before lobby settles and goes to lights out.

I am good also, although racing gods have not been kind to me since we defeated the final boss 

[GFORCE_S3RV3R 17]

 

Here is an alternative of another one of the guys suffering from it. He has had it 3/3 times in league races

Hi @GFORCE_S3RV3R,

Thanks for the feedback. Unable to replicate based on the video attached. Were you playing in League modes or Unranked?

[Ultra3142 384]

@GFORCE_S3RV3R in the videos it looks like Overtake is switched on during the formation lap but I am still completely lost as to why anyone would want to? The problem shown can be completely avoided by just not doing this. Am I missing something?

It's a habit that alot of guys who race in organized leagues have, set everything to max before the AI takes over in the formation lap to have the most advantage for the start of the race. Think It is residual from having to change multiple settings in previous games and would reset to full once the race started so didnt lose anything by doing so on the formation lap

[Lakrits 71]

But there's plenty of time to activate it when the lights starts so any problem can easily be avoided by not activating on the formation lap. I see no real issue here, just don't do it this way and all will be fine.

OP, how are you on 1.13 when 1.07 was the last patch?

Mis-type I presume, and was 1.03. Unless he has access to time travel. If you do, when does the COVID stuff end? Just asking...for a friend 😛
