Re: New Season Issue: Podium Pass XP NOT being given properly


@KF2ZedHunter wrote:

So, @EA_Groguet@EA_Vendcera@EA_Barry@CM_TGK, (Sorry for the pings) or anyone at EA and Codemasters, if you are reading this, we REALLY need that bug fixed. It’s been around since Season 2 and people are NOT happy about it! 


Hey there,

This issue was reported and the team is still investigating it. I'm sorry I don't have more information about it. As soon as I have more info I will update this thread.

    @twistedartsglassYou do realize that in last year's game, you could also just BUY the levels? It saved you from any grinding in any way whatsoever! (As long as you had enough PitCoins that is), I know I will probably get a hard time just for saying that, but in last year's game, as well as in F1 2021 and F1 2020, the Podium Pass only contained COSMETIC items! This year, since it also has F1 World items, they removed the ability to do so, to make it fair for everyone.

    And @EA_Groguet, thank you for acknowledging the issue. And please, do let us know if a solution is found.

  • @EA_GroguetSorry for the ping. Since the Double XP event for celebrating the inaugural Las Vegas GP is going on, has Codemasters addressed this Podium Pass bug? I know that there's a good chance that they haven't, but it's been a month since you acknowledged this issue. Is there any update on it's fix?

    @KF2ZedHunter It is still going on - it seems to happen 'randomly' (I couldn't figure out when, how or why), but sometimes it still shows you 'leveled up' right after completing an event and when you go back to the menu, you still haven't leveled up yet - meaning (confirming and proving) that there is some amount of XP that's NOT being given properly.

    @KF2ZedHunterYes, it may be it, BUT..

    On my very first post here, I also thought the Tech Level XP was the amount missing, but those print screens were from a CAREER session and someone said (correctly) that I wasn't supposed to get any Tech Level XP in these career sessions (which makes perfect sense) and then it was actually just a visual glitch that I got that Tech Level XP, bla bla bla..

    BUT THEN..
    I noticed the issue is still happening (as I mentioned on my last reply above) in actual F1 World events - and I have 'proof', which is the fact that sometimes when you complete an F1 World event, the screen shows your XP bar going over your current level and literally showing you leveled up - but then when you're back to the game menu, you find out you have NOT leveled up yet - which, as I said, proves that some amount of XP was NOT given properly - I'm not sure if that amount also happens to be the Tech Level XP, but it's clear that there IS an issue and some XP is NOT being given properly..

    Right now, I finally reached level 50 on the Podium Pass and I'm on the current max Tech Level of 1400, but I hope this gets fixed for the next Podium Pass, of course.

    @SexyBrigadeiroMy images shown were all from F1 World events. And the reason I came to the conclusion that it could be the Tech Level XP not being given out is because I noticed the XP number not being given out had to be around 600 XP, which ruled out the Session XP or Mod XP, that only leaves the Tech Level XP or XP Boost XP. I noticed that the bug could not have applied to XP Boost XP, because I had done F1 World events in S2 without the XP Boost, and noticed the XP still wasn't given out properly, which left the Tech Level XP being the culprit. I unfortunately don't have any proof supporting it, so you're just gonna have to take my word for it. And I will not complete the S3 pass since it's with the bug still being there, it's even more grindy, because with every level, the required XP went up by 125 XP in seasons 1 and 2, but this season, it was increased to 250 XP. I won't get my hopes up if S4 fixes the issue, but at least it's been acknowledged, thank you @EA_Groguet for confirming it.

    It makes sense and no worries, mate.

    It is a FACT that some XP is NOT being given properly - and of course identifying the right amount/source may help to solve the problem - I just hope the 'math' is done right by the game (once the issue is fixed) and the players are not 'penalized' by it anymore - cheers!
