Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? You need to cross the line in qualifying after the session timer has elapsed so that your car is being driven by the AI. Your AI then needs to "block" another AI car on track and then you'll be given a 5 place grid penalty even though you have no control of the car.
What happens when the bug occurs? You're told you have a 5 place grid penalty way after the AI has taken control of your car. I have a clip in the post description
What do you expect to see? I expect to not get a 5 place grid penalty when I have no control of my car.
In this clip we're at the end of qualy and Scorenzy who is in 5th place is given a 5 place grid penalty for blocking even though he's no longer in control of his car. This bug has popped up twice in lobbies I've been in since the last update and I've heard of many more people experiencing it but crucially all of these have been since the last update so I don't believe the bug was present prior to this. It happens often enough that I have begun making sure I'm not on track as AI at the end of qualy. I will pull in and retire if I'm not gonna make the line or I will go out with enough time to finish my hotlap before time elapses. (edited)
