Get mechanical failure DNF every race in co-op career since update

Product: F1 23
Platform:Xbox Series X
Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox Series X
Summarize your bug Since the latest patch, I get a mechanical failure that forces a DNF in almost every race in co-op career. The only race it hasn't happened in was under a safety car for a large number of laps. This is happening with no engine parts above 35% wear. My co-op partner has not had one DNF and in that period I've had 3 from 4 races. I tried to turn off serious mechanical failures as a workaround but the setting re-enables itself automatically. We're also unable to change the qualifying session length as the option isn't visible. This is a continuation of a co-op career we started before the patch. I created the career if that matters.
What is your 16 digit Report Code?
Can you please provide the name of your current internet service provider? Sky
Which area is the bug/glitch in? Multiplayer
Did you have cross-play enabled? Yes
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unsure if this only affects existing saves of co-op career mode or if it'll be new careers also.
What happens when the bug occurs? I get a DNF due to serious mechanical failure in every race despite not having worn engine parts going into it. I'm unable to disable the setting for serious mechanical failures as the setting resets itself back after I've changed it.
What do you expect to see? I expect not to have this happen every race, and to be able to modify the settings relating to failures without them reverting back.

All information above.

  • @spursfan1985 I’m having exactly the same issue. We did around 3/4 races which were fine then the latest patch landed and i’ve had mechanical failure after mechanical failure. So far i’ve had 5 DNFs, we’ve done around 12 races now. 2 more of them were ruined by the ‘Sprint Race’ bug anyhow but i imagine if they wasn't the mechanical failure probably bug would of struck again. Highly frustrating. I have to note that the host and player who created the save has not had one mechanical failure throughout. I’ve had 2 parts 100% fail in different races that were newly fitted from 0%. Hope they sort this soon as it’s unplayable and unrealistic if it’s turned off. I was also on Xbox Series X. Surprised this hasn't had more recognition as surely others have experienced this too. Hopefully this gets looked into asap.
