I have an issue where everytime I try and play multiplayer it tells me my game session does not match so I cannot join or host an f1 24 multiplayer game, I have tried re-downloading, restarts, i am at a loss. Please help?

So i read online that clearing the download cache from steam or EA can help and it worked in this case. The game seems to be running fine now.

I have the same issue since yesterday evening and I tried to uninstall and install again. I tried to clear the Steam Download Cache and it does not work for me

I have the same issue but in ps5. How can I fix it?

I can’t play f1 24 online even though I have the game fully updated, it still says “the game session’s version does not match. Check for an online update.” What do I do??

We noticed that in my case in the launch menu I can see "Season 2", while in his case he still can see "Be one of the 20", although we have bought uptaded our games with patch 1.8. This error started when we updated to v 1.7.

@Cpayne32 Yes, he reinstalled it more than once to try to fix it, but no luck. We just bought the game to play together, so it is a big disappointment that we cannot do that.

So even after update 1.10 we are still having the issue. The problem started with update 1.7. We notice that my friend’s game did not show “season 2” (with updates 1.7 and 1.8) or “season 3” (now with update 1.10) in the main screen, while my game does show them. His game is up to date, with the latest patch.

So far I'll wait until Monday's patch to check whether it got randomly fixed or not, otherwise I'll provide some random report code as it now keeps happening all the time.
EDIT before Monday patch: aaand it just fixed itself. Not sure it was because of midnight, or just because I drove some Time Trial laps. This is so confusing...

Could you provide the report code as this will assist the team with investigating. You can find this in the settings menu or the menu during a race

I just got hit with the same issue today - funnily enough, everything worked well two days ago (Friday)! Still on patch 1.8, as next patch is arriving tomorrow.
Extra Info:
From which country/region are you connecting? Lithuania
What is your current ISP? Telia
Which platform are you using? PC Steam (Crossplay Enabled)
Are you using a VPN? No
If this keeps on after Monday's patch then I won't even be able to League Race properly. Could you please properly look into what might be causing this issue?
