elskip8 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Yep, lost all setups, time trial times, saved games, trophies and all of my online stats. Also lost controller/wheel calibration settings, camera settings etc. Didn't lose the purchases or pitcoins, and retained the ranking I had before deleting the data. I saved the data on a USB stick in case a fix is found, but not sure how likely that is. My avatar is no longer Sainz, but I'll be very disappointed if this happens again.

Optie Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I can not change my drivers profile into my own character. Yesterday I did a race as Carlos Sainz, now it shows in my drivers profile that I am Sainz, from Spain with drivers number 55. I can not change the face, the number and the country.. Tried to restart the game but still couldn't change it into my own character.. Also tried to do a race as Verstappen but still I am Sainz when in the menu's.. When I change my avatar and then my country back to Netherlands; automatically restores to be Carlos Sainz again with number 55 from Spain..

I have also Issues with Carlos Sainz ( not the driver itself XD) but he want absolutely take the place of my avatar. More seiously has many of other reported, I can't custom my driver. I can edit 2 about 3 things ( Skin,Number or Nationality) But everytime I change the last one the skin get back to Carlos Sainz and my nationality became Spain ( just in case, i try to select France and the number 86). You'll found my save zipped in attachment. Hope you will debug this one soon because it's really embarassing for my youtube Vidéos and my online RP league.

AdamComer Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Can confirm that other people in the lobby can see Carlos Sainz as the affected player’s avatar. Here is how my friend appears from my side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iiLICKZii Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Been having this issue since launch pretty much still no solution or patch. driver profile editor will not let me change my character away from Carlos Sainz. Tried numerous times to change and nothing works name number and nationality always end up as Sainz. Honestly am fed up time trial dosent work properly with this bug and I haven’t even attempted online because I know it won’t work properly and I’ll get kicked. I’d class this as game breaking I want to play online and I can’t. Codies you need to fix this this is a joke have already posted in another topic does anyone know a fix I’m on Xbox one but I’m aware this a problem on all platforms deleting and reinstalling hasn’t worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velocity-F1 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Just wondering if this has been reported or not but I'm going to say something about it so maybe the devs can fix this cause it's very annoying. I'm on PlayStation 5 but have seen others having the same problem on PS4. When I go to driver customization to change my Flag/Country or Region. I select the flag (any of them) It resets my number to 55. & when I go change my number to whatever it resets my flag to Spain every time? Can post a video also if you would like to see.

Velocity-F1 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Update the game think's I am Carlos Sainz? He's Number 55 from Spain. Also when ever I'm doing time trial it says Sainz?? & I never used him before I usually drive the Redbull or AstonMartin so I don't know how this even happened.
