Losing Straight Line Speed In Multiplayer
Product: F1 23
Platform:Steam-PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
Summarize your bug My brother originally had no issues playing the game, but after two weeks suddenly loses 0.1 s per tick only on straights, even with the exact same setup and equal performance. We tested by drag racing (no worrying about corner exit) and I still catch him halfway before the next corner.

What happens when the bug occurs? Player loses significant straight line speed even with the same setup and equal performance as other players
What do you expect to see? Player loses straight line speed, telemetry shows that RPM and KPH tick backward regularly even on full throttle
My brother and I got F123 on Steam to race each other about three months ago and play with Xbox controllers. I play more often than my brother and race at about AI level 90, but to ease him in we started a two-player career run at AI level 40. In the first two weeks, the game worked perfectly and we were able to easily beat AI level 40 in career mode. He eventually worked his way up to AI level 60 playing Braking Point, and was still pretty comfortably winning.
One day, I wanted to ease him off braking assist so we turned it off, and suddenly, he was nowhere near as fast on straights any more. Level 40 AI were overtaking him instantly and gaining 0.8-1.0 seconds on straights alone. He could make up some time on corners, but straights started killing him. We tried a multiplayer GP with equal performance and the same exact set up, and I also started gaining 0.1 seconds per tick on straights. We even tried drag racing down the first big straight on Red Bull Ring, and even when I start accelerating after he does I easily catch him halfway before the corner. We've tried enabling the assists he had on before, turning off telemetry to improve connection, lowering graphics to boost performance, reinstalling the game (3 times) etc. but nothing has worked so far. One random day after two weeks his game was back to normal and then the next day immediately had the issue again. We've also noticed two things: 1. despite his braking assist being off in the pre-race settings, it shows up as on during races. When we turn it back off, nothing happens. 2. When I watch his telemetry at full throttle, his RPM and KPH stutter backward every few hundred RPM or 10 KPH, almost like he's receiving brake input. When we checked the controller calibration, there was no input and we even boosted the brake deadzone, but the stutter still happened.
Like I said before, when he plays Braking Point and Single Player Career the game works fine and he has no issues on the straights. This issue even happens when we both have 3-4 bars of connection in the pre-race lobby. His connection is perfectly normal and stable when we play any other game on Steam, so I don't think it's a connection issue. Any help toward resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
