F1 23: F2 Career Mode Unplayable Due To Mandatory Tyre Bug

Product: F1 23
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
Summarize your bug In F2 Feature races in the F1 23 game, the game forces you to choose at least 1 stint of a mandatory tyre. However, due to a bug, the only version you have of these tyres are extremely worn. As a result, the game forces you to either start or finish the race on extremely worn and often even punctured tyres, making feature races essentially completely unplayable. Please fix this as soon as possible, as it makes the entire F2 career mode nearly unusable.
What is your 16 digit Report Code?
Can you please provide the name of your current internet service provider?
Which area is the bug/glitch in? Single Player
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Start a career mode in F2 with any team. Make sure to have both Sprint and Feature races in a weekend. 2. Qualify and Finish a sprint race. 3. Advance to the feature race 4. The bug will be apparent already in the strategy screen. The game will force you to put a stint of 1 lap on extremely worn, mandatory tyres somewhere in the race. (Either at the beginning or the end) 5. Once you start the race, you will notice that the tyres are extremely worn and will most of the time puncture immediately. In some cases, they have already punctured before you even start.
What happens when the bug occurs? You will simply not be able to drive the car properly once you pit onto these tyres, furthermore, the strategy of having to drive on a compound for just 1 lap is completely unrealistic. The tyres will quickly puncture, making you lose incredible amounts of speed and cornering, but this somehow will not happen for the AI drivers around you, essentially putting you in last every single time.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the game functioning as normal, for example: In Jeddah, there is a 12 lap feature race. The mandatory tyre is the Medium tyre. If things go as expected: -You will either get a strategy where your engineer suggests starting on the Soft tyre, pitting in, for example, lap 5, to then switch to mediums to finish the race. -Your second strategy will probably be an agressive one, such as starting on softs until, for example, lap 4, then switching to another set of softs until lap 8, to then switch to mediums to finish the race. (The current suggestion will always be two sets of softs, with a 1 lap stint on those broken tyres either before or after the soft stints)

‌

In the F2 Mode in Single Player Career Mode in F1 23, the option to use both a feature and sprint race is currently unplayable. Here's why:

The sprint race will function as normal. No reoccuring bugs to report there.

The feature race, however, forces you to drive 1 stint on a mandatory tyre (as you would expect.)

However, this set of tyres is broken. It is, for some reason, (nearly) 100% worn and will puncture (almost) immediately.

This is already evident from the strategy screen, as the game forces you to put a 1 lap stint somewhere in the race.

This stint can't be extended either as, ofcourse, the tyres are completely dead already.

The AI will also start on these worn tyres, but they won't puncture.

In summary:

-The Game forces you to choose a completely shot set of tyres for a mandatory stint

-As a result, you will have to drive 1 lap with punctured tyres either at the start or the finish, with no way to bypass it without being DQ'd

-The AI will gain tens of seconds on you at all times, because their tyres are not punctured

-It is impossible to finish anything but close to last in a Feature race.

Additional Notes:

-Although these are the same compound as the sprint race tyres, they SEEM to be unrelated.

You usually finish the sprint race with anywhere between 40% and 60% tyre wear. Nowhere close to 100%.

-I have not tested whether this bug also occurs when choose the option to only do Feature races.

However, due to the reason stated above, I suspect the bug will also occur there

-Strangely, you DO have a new set of the mandatory tyre available to you during the sprint race, meaning that there SHOULD be the option to choose a stint of fresh tyres.

Please fix this bug asap. It makes the F2 mode completely unplayable and I, as well as many other players, like this feature a lot. Especially for the sake of realism.

I'm relief to see it's not only me, apparently the game makes you use the tyre set you used in the Sprint Race, instead of the new set you are supposed to have available. I hope they fix it soon because I like to play at least one full F2 season in every F1 game.

This isn't the fix but it's the best solution I've had to come up with. Atleast for me the tyre allocation is always 2 softs and 3 hards. The way you HAVE to use the tyres in this game is: 1 hard for practice, 1 soft for quali, 1 hard for sprint and then you have 1 hard and 1 soft for the feature. Atleast that's how I've had to do it

@KlossN the problem with that though is the other teams use a soft for the sprint. So either way, you're losing out.

But at the same time if you look at the tyre allocation at practice then u see that there is a harder compound allocated for race and then a soft and a hard for race again, but for some reason the game does not count in the second harder compoind reserved for race

Not to mention the F2 calendar is totally wrong
the monaco, azerbaijan and great britain races come before imola and spain the right sequence of the 14 races is 1st bahrem 2nd saudi arabia 3rd imola 4th spain 5th monaco 6th azerbaijan 7th great britain 8th austria 9th france 10th hungary 11th belgium 12th netherlands 13th monza 14th abu dhabi

I'm not sure this is a bug. You get fuel for laps in practice and qualifying. If you use your tires more than that, then you don't got enough tire life for the featured race. so once fuel is up, your session can be closed and you'll be fine in the feature race.
So that means like 5 laps for practice and 2 flying laps for qualifying. And then use those two tires as 2 stop in feature race.
I play full simulation, no assist and hard a. i. on gamepad with trigger feedback for traction limit.
I noticed its quicker to learn a track with the suggestion driving line assist on.
So I won 3 of 6 races with this assist without having to use many tires to learn a track before racing.
I qualified 2nd on baku on my second flying lap. With just 5 laps of practice.
the driving line assist is sort of like getting ridd of having to watch and study onboard cameras just because tires are too expensive. FIA is taking away tires for carbon emmisions or something.

@ivun3 I think you're right. You get 2 softs and 2 hards for qualifying, sprint and feature as the practice hard gets returned. you must use a set of new softs in the sprint. And your qualifying softs in the feature with your hards. and have a spare hard in case something goes wrong. So to preserve your qualifying softs as much as possible you may as well just do 1 shot qualifying. Because if you're hammering them you will have to use the least worn set in the feature race.

we have 5 tire slots 3 mediums and 2 softs. when we play 35% race with full Qualy, we play the Sprint with the second soft tyre, and in the feature race we play with the soft we used in qualy, but it comes with wear above what we left in Qualy proving to be an excessive wear bug . And in long and complete races we make the Qualy complete with the soft tire quiet and in the Sprint we use the hard tire the whole race, but when we go to the feature race we can't choose the third hard tire left with only the hard one used in the Sprint available and so the game thank you we make 2 stops
