championship season mode difficulty bug *9 HOURS WASTED*

Recommended Posts

im at monza in my season i loaded my setup and then i picked my tyre (prime for Q1) i then went out for a flying lap and i still had the options on for some reason, used the menu and went back to my garage picked the prime again and i was stuck with the options, it said i had selected it but it wouldnt actually be on my car, im driving kimi raikkonens ferrari and at the end of Q1 vettel was in P1 with i believe a 1:23 or 1:22 (probably 1:23) with prime tyres (rosberg and hamilton also used primes, the rest of the field were on options) in q2 and q3 the lap times fell off considerably with the highest being a 1:24 from the AI on option tyres  same story for q3, so i inevitably got pole by at least 2 seconds or more, on a poor lap really, which probably wouldve landed me p3 or p4 on legend AI, after a few laps i got a lead of about 5 + over the two mercs without even trying so i backed out (didnt save) tried to see if it was on expert, it was on legend, so i put it on expert then back to legend again and it was still the same went into the race after my first pit stop i put up a 1:22.6 and then looked at the lap times from the AI and only rosberg cracked the 1:23s setting a 1:23.947 which isnt really cracking the 1.23s vettel and hamilton remained in the 1:24s 

and this really irritates me because these are 50% races, and italy is round 12 so thats 11 races (not including full qualifying) which equals up to 550 minutes given that the races last around 50 minutes each WHICH IS 9.1 HOURS GONE

I'm sorry I'm not following. Okay there was a tyre bug in quali, but then you got in to the race and were winning too easily so you feel that's ruined your season? I find I'm stronger at some tracks than others relative to the AI, Italy is one where I would expect to do well especially as you can take liberties at the chicanes that the AI do not. If you want more of a challenge in this particular race you could run lean fuel mix or change to run more wing to slow you down a little.

PS smiled that Swear I'm Sober posted at 3:51am UK time though you're probably not in the UK.

in q1 the difficulty was good vettel hamilton and rosberg all set competitive times at around 1:23 on the prime tyres, go into qualifying  2 and they are setting 1:24s on the option tyres and that carried out into the race im on legend AI im pretty sure they're not supposed to be that slow at monza and this isnt my first season either i know they're quicker at monza than what i just witnessed

i should add that i feel i wasted 9 hours because if it ends up being this easy for the rest of the season it wont be fair how hard i worked to get to where i am in the standings in the past 11 races wont matter, especially when im driving with ferrari and we're only 7 points behind mercedes and im leading the championshiop by 15 points over hamilton, and if it has gotten easier, it didnt change my setting because it still says its on legend AI

There are fixes coming for issues the AI have in practice and qualifying finding space and therefore compromising each others laps. It will be in the patch notes when that's going to be released.
