That is very useful, thank you @SwearImSober. I'll take a look in to that.

We've had a quick look at this and not seen any problem thus far. We're slightly worried by the fact you're loading a setup for a Ferrari using a Red Bull but looking at the other setups you have that's something you would appear to do a lot so I don't think that's the cause of the problem.

If from a fresh boot you load in to a 2014 Quick Race at Bahrain and load that setup does this bug occur? I'm interested in knowing if it's Championship Season only. Also where do you setup your car? Would you have done that in practice or Time Trial say? I've tried both and not seen a problem but that information might help.

I can't think of anything that would cause a tyre compound to not be available. Parc Ferme rules don't disable tyre choice in Qualifying, only Time Trial limits the availability of tyres by locking you to Options.

Anyway, any further information you can provide will be helpful.

I've experienced this exact bug. A few nights back there were three of us in an invite only lobby running 60 minute practice sessions. All cars on equal performance. The first session,  one guy had the Parc ferme bug where he could not load his setup. Next try we could all load setups but mine would not change the tyres, despite the tablet saying it was option the tyres on the car were primes. Had this bug a few times and surprised you can't replicate it

I think something must happen to trigger this behaviour to happen all the time, the question is what.

i believe i made that setup when i was in a 2015 season and maybe putting on a 2014 season affects it? or something along those lines, although that doesnt make much sense since it happened to me in 2015 monza  and i was in q1 and i always use a different car setup, cause i feel most of the time it still improves the performance. except for a few cars where it may make it worse but for the redbull it felt good, anyways i have only had it happen in championship season, i only play online and championship season, normally i set my car up in qualifying or practice, or i use my rivals laptime from TT and save it, but thats rare for me to do, and i got most of those setups in like the first couple of weeks of getting the game so most of it saved in practice, but now that im used to the tracks i dont even use practice i just go straight into Q1

hope this helped, it also hasnt happened on any other track this season

@Lozzy please re-confirm that you're removing the 'ipad bringing over to car' animation. it should be an instant option, not 5 seconds.

actually i think its due to picking a setup before selecting your tyres.

@Lozzy @SwearImSober I just experienced this bug online 4 times in a row. I was hosting a practice session with 1 other player, and I tried to select the options but after selecting they didn't change the tires. We quit to the main menu, created a new lobby to see if that would fix it, but I had the same problem again! So we quit again, I tried a different car, but even that didn't solve it. I also tried to select the tyres first, before loading my setup, that also didn't work. I even tried going out on the primes, returning to the garage and try to select them again, but with no success unfortunately..We tried swapping session-hosts as well, same results.

Eventually we tried 4 times in 4 'new' lobbies but the problem didn't disappear until I restarted the game entirely. It's so strange, I literally tried everything I could think of but it just kept happening in every new lobby/session. This may be good to know: The problem only affected me, the other player was able to choose the tyres that he wanted.
