Please wait…. F1 24
I can’t play the game anymore. After fp1 my game stays at please wait… won’t go any further, what i have already tried, reinstalling game, repairing game, different base language installation. ev...
Have this issue myself on Xbox Series S. reached the Final Race of Season 1 in F1. completed Practice 1 everything to 100%, advanced fine to practice 2 and run that as quick sim and instantly ended advanced to practice 3 and thats where i hit issues i tried to quick sim it again it did nothing, i tried to drive it it did nothing, so i quit to main menu reloaded and it went into practice 3 but with 3/5 complete on everything just the R&D stuff showing as completed so i ran through them all AGAIN had like 15mins to spare to i sped it up and got stuck on Please Wait 1hr i waited NOTHING. fully closed the game reloaded SAME, fully closed and restarted Xbox SAME, Uninstalled Same, Uninstalled for a 2nd time SAME. i cant believe ive just spent a week running through F2 and all but the last race of season 1 in F1 and now game breaking bug which probably means this save is Broke. too late to get a refund the update earlier this week literally broke the game prior to that it ran nicely no bugs at all. very dissatisfied with this its basically £100 flushed down the toilet with a bug like this from an update that broke things that were not only fine but lovely there was maybe 1 small issue i noticed and thats still there. never ran into this myself on 22 or 23 but from what ive seen this has been an ever present issue for a lot of people every release.
I only brought this because the VERY few improvements seemed nice and the trial ran lovely albeit about 2 and a half hours short of what it was supposed to be, events i loved in 23 are no longer in it i get some people didnt like the drift events and stuff but it had the option to turn it off, why not just have it as off by default with option to enable for anyone who does enjoy a break from F1 every now and then when they pop up for those R&D and Reputation increases.
Anyway ive literally spent most of the past 24hrs looking at a please wait screen. Please EA/Codemaster FIX THIS
oh and dont forget the massive issue if you start in f2 and select no practice you NEVER get the opportunity to change the weekend structure and dont earn any more experience, racecraft etc on full than you do on very short on pass. i completel forgot about this and so im now stuck on full races, sprint and qualifiers for the ENTIRE season because you cannot make changes once you begin practice and unfortunatly in F2 it literally goes straight from the end of race straight into the next session in my case end of first race no option to adjust settings straight into qualifier. i get that you kind of want to pace it up at F2 because well the lack of R&D and all the other elements other than levelling up but seriously atleast slow the pace down add a go into event bit like in f1 where you would have the oportunity to change the settings on that screen before entering the event. is it my fault there was a GAME BREAKING BUG that basically forced me to start over. and knowing how aweful it can be on first few races to skip straight to F1. no its all down to the devs not doing ANYTHING to improve the F2 part of driver career (i say driver career because other than F1 World its the only mode ive tried on 24). ontop of that please adjust the amount of exp, racecraft etc you get to vary on amount of laps, difficulty settings etc all being the same is ridiculous that smeone playing on say 0 diffuiculty with very short would level up the same as someone on say 70 difficulty and full. also maybe reduce the amount of decline. my first attempt went poorly started on 70 difficulty and cars were 5 seconds ahead in a split second perfect start.finished only 1 second behind and i lost close to 2000 RAC and with that 2 RAT i ended up rage quiting and deleting that and starting fresh on 60 difficulty of which i was able to win by almost an entire lap. kind of seems harsh youd lose almost 2000 Racecraft and 2 Rating in the slowest car in F2 and finishing in 22nd on 70 difficulty wih ai cars that literally got smashed off the track by other ai and just bounced back into place right infront of me causing me to hit the brakes. i dont care if there was a 200leveldifficulty ai should never just snap back to the spot if they were hit full wack on the side its unreal that car possibly both would be totaled but not in this game where ai can be hit you at 200mph and be unaffected while you go flying off track and are 90% of the time totalled. id say check out some of my past streams to see exactly what i mean but vods arent saving for some reason. id also like to see an individual rule option for hitting that would give them/me time deduction and or other penalties instead of it be locked into Rules on only and other ai difficulty options like its fine seeing player error options but wheres the ai error options etc. i mean in the save that got brokebefore i accidentally deleted it, i have those on regular in the space of 4 races i had to restart every one of them because i always seemed to suffer a dnf malfucntion right at the start of penultimate or fina lap yet ai never suffered any malfunctions infact only time i have is in F2 during the first race in both sprint and race 3 ai including my teammate (both times) i both. thats it never again after that until i restarted 3 times all 3 times the same happening.
i do want to say however great work with some of the improvements the specialists are a great addition though its annoying some of them literally only last 1 race weekend and on the final race weekend you dont get any avaialable at all, obviously i got to experience team mate rivaly in that f1 bugged save and RAT Rivalry but never got a championship rivalry because well i won EVERY race in that not all of the sprints or qualifiers but every race until the final one where i couldnt get to it because of the bug, but i thought the improvements around that were good, the intro video for entering F1 is nice (if it was skipable even better) same goes for some of the other stuff or atleast an option to turn off things like that,, maybe turn down how frequently you see podium pass update like seriously do i need to see it every time i do a qualifier and only earn 25 podium pass points (even with xp boost). female drivers started to enter F2 this year yet not a single F2 team has a ''real'' female driver thats a big dissapointment and the fact neither my first name middle name or last name is avaialble so i always end up using stupid boring princess pitstop like seriously add some girls name and more surnames, i previously mentioned the lack of driver events so i wont go into that but thats a shame. there is other improvements i really like but right now all the negatives for how much paid keep coming to mind.
but please seriously fix the infinite please wait bug id hate to get to F1 again (gonna take longer than a couple days this time) only to run into the same issue and just never play the game again
