Product: F1 24Platform:Xbox Series XPlease specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox Series XSummarize your bug Engineer doesn't tell you to check your mfd for a new strategy, even if you fully take off your front wing. What is your 16 digit Report Code?

Xbox controllerCan you please provide the name of your current internet service provider?Which area is the bug/glitch in? Single PlayerSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Take your front wing off on a wall/car and continue to driveWhat happens when the bug occurs? Engineer doesn't come up with an alternative strategy.What do you expect to see? Engineer to say "don't worry about the damage, check your mfd for a new strategy"This was in GP mode, but maybe happens in others.

I think the engineer is totally broken. As he also doesn't come up with alternative strategies if you have been better/worse wear on your tyres, I.E when you have less tyre wear reduction boosts on in F1 world. Last year he's tell you to extended by 2/3 laps, this year nothing.And also doesn't tell you to pit when the safety car is out, even though it's only 1 lap early on the race strategy, He would've last year.Video of the safety car bit.Hoping it may get fixed tomorrow when they fix him not telling people they have an ERS problem.

Hey folks,I've passed this along to the team for further investigation. If you've got any further information or method how we could best reproduce it, please let us know!-Vendcera

@DRudd13 Not sure if it was for 1.6 or 1.7 but I had ONE call from Mark to tell me about an alternative strategy (weather change) and thought it was fixed but no...still an issue. Get damage or weather change and he's suspiciously quiet!Trouble is I can make the calls myself but it's too hard to judge, especially for weather changes (struggling on my current tyres, looks like it's drying for example, I come in and the car aquaplanes and goes straight off at the first corner after the pits). Also say if tyre wear is greater than expected, Mark used to pipe up and offer an alternative strategy for that too!

Still a problem since patch 1.8

No alternative strategy giving after damage

@DRudd13 I'm pretty sure todays patch won't fix it... :/ The devs didn't even acknowledge this issue yet.

@Euphonic88 I'm not holding my breath that it will be fixed, but the engineer might start telling us more information when they fix him talking about the ERS problem

Yes, i hope they will read this one. Very frustrating. The engineer doesn't give you an alternate strategy at all when you have damage.

After reading this
ERS sometimes stops deploying for seemingly no reason.
This is a gameplay feature to simulate an ERS fault, which is meant to happen occasionally.
But because the On-Screen Display and Voice Over do not properly communicate what's happened to the player, it can be rather confusing.
Further to that, Voice Over can tell the player to use ERS because the battery is full, even though deployment is currently unavailable, adding to the confusion.
These faults have been disabled following the v1.4 patch.
And the fact they have just disabled the fault from happening and not solved it by making the engineer communicate they have a problem, I'm worried the engineer won't be fixed at all.

Same problem here. The engineer won't give you an alternative strategy. To be honest, most times those alternative strategies ere stupid but at least they were some. In F1 24, there aren't any. Not only when you damage your car but also when your tyres are doing better then estaminated or when the weather changes. No change in strategy.

@DRudd13 Wanna bet that this won't be fixed? Maybe in F1 25 it's going to work properly again.
