@BarryBL 

My driver profile has selected its self as Carlos Sainz and has locked his details over my driver profile. No matter what I change the avatar to it keeps changing back to Sainz. Now any online mode I do I am stuck as Carlos. Hey its a cool glitch but getting a bit annoying now 

No report code as there isn't one in driver profile settings or home menu.

Xbox One

Multilayer, time trial and driver profile 

Only myself who has the issue 

 

This problem happened a few weeks ago when I went in a multilayer social play race with friends. In this race a retired and quit to menu. To then discover my character and avatar had locked as Carlos sainz as I had chose his car to drive in the online race.

 

I emailed you guys for weeks and I've had no help. And even worse you have no phone number.

It's really not only you, help if you can by searching the forum, posting in the correct location and offering a save game as that's where the situation is at present, thanks.

[DillarF1]

Same issue here, but i imagine you'll need to file a proper report, otherwise they will ignore this. 

[Jobling1983]

Check out the pinned reports in the bugs section. Its with developers 🤞

If you can provide your save games it might help them resolve it.

Nothing in the dxdiag to suggest any issues. I would advise a Windows reinstallation.

or you could follow moderators advise and hard erase your entire PC even though it effects PC XBOX and PS

It is now September 2nd 2021 I got this glitch yesterday after i chose the Sainz seat in an open lobby, im not a fan of sainz in general and forcing me to play as him doesnt make me happy either, knowing this glitch has been happening since launch and manages to affect me almost 2 months later is sad. Im begging for a fix bc i really am not enjoying my own countrys rep my own car number and my own character, its quite frustrating
I put my file below like youd like but at this rate others have done this already and feels like its done nothing so im doubting this bug will be fixed before the "new tracks" that are "supposedly" possibly out this month but i doubt that too

if you play online you risk catching the carlos sainz virus its like herpies once you catch it you have it for life one of many game breaking bugs from this quality title release from codemasters only fix sadly is the nuclear option of erase EVERYTHING like i explained above

My Driver Profile on Steam keeps changing to Sainz as well, has been for a few weeks. If I try to adjust my avatar, number, or nationality, it will change back to Carlos Sainz before I even get to the next screen. Seeing that there are a bunch of us experiencing the same problem, just going to wait til CodeMasters fixes it I guess.

[BarryBL]

Hi everyone,

Short update here.

We currently have a fix in place for this and it is in our testing phase. At the moment, there is no ETA, and testing times can vary, but we currently aiming for Patch 1.11 on this. This is, as always, subject to change.

[MrBr0wN]

Same problem with that I can't change the Playermodel from SAINZ to something else as I can't change Nationality and Drivernumber either.

Looking forward for the new patch....

[maestross]

thank you father @BarryBL

the age of carlos has ended ; the age of sainz has concluded

 

 blessed be the schifty five

Hello,

Im not sure if this is an issue anyone else is having but when I try to change my driver profile it keeps changing me back to Carlos Sainz, My avatar is his face scan, my number keeps getting changed back to number 55 and my country/region keeps getting changed back to Spanish. This only happens on the Ps5 version of the game and has been like this for a couple months now. I’m not too sure if there is a fix for this but hopefully there is cause I’m a bit tired of being Carlos Sainz. My Psn is Hajjerino, thank you. 

[apmargOZi]

I have the exact same issue.

If I change car number the flag changes to the Spanish flag. If I change the flag the car number changes to 55. If I change the character face, it changes back to Carlos...

[BarryBL]

Predicted to now be 1.12
