Re: Crash to Desktop During Practice Programme

F1 24 Career Mode Practice Program while doing 1 of the 3 available will cause F1 24 to freeze then crash to desktop. The current workaround is to avoid that crashing program by doing it on quick practice/simulation. The race will proceed with no crashes as far as I have experienced.  But it really kills the immersion.  I'm using MOZA R12 and Pit House by the way if we have a common denominator if you too experience the same.  Tried to replicate in F1 23 but no same crash experienced there.

    @SturmGraz My experience in career mode is crash every time I do a practice program. Completely closes the game. I'm using VR on PC. Also have another couple of unrelated issues. Two nights of troubleshooting instead of playing. Can't do career mode as give up resource pts without practice programs. Can't do Grand prix races because only get look back view when race starts. This is pathetic release. Seriously.
  • Same issue for me. While playing in VR it will crash during career mode or two player career whenever trying the third practice program. This happens 100% of the time in VR, but not if I play flatscreen. Does not matter if the third program is Fuel Management or the Qualifying Sim one. attaching dxDiag. Using Quest3 via virtual desktop. 4090, 12900k, 64gb ram

  • @DepatchMode This does not seem to be my case. It happens while driving and not changing the view. SteamVR also does not crash when I experience the game crashes.

    not for me... consistently crashes with ANY practice program in career mode. And I also had/have issue of race starting with rear view instead of cockpit view in VR, in both Career and Grand Prix regardless of car, track, etc. Stumbled on hitting space bar to correct the view but jeesh. And, same issue with Flashback...rear view only which makes Flashback close to useless.

    this is not just a VR bug i dont use VR and iam always crashing when doing practice programs which makes it impossible to get the resources needed for upgrades since the quick practice program always seems to fail and takes up too much time never allowing you to get all the resource points for each weekend

  • Also Crashing when entering the second practice program, In China and in Australia. Did Bahrain and Suzuka with no issue.

    Every time on the same bend / same place.

    Fanatec Clubsport and Oculus Rift VR on a 4090 strix 10700k 64 Gigs of RAM.

  • Haphazardly hit space bar at start of race in Grand Prix and view switched to cockpit and stayed there. Even after closing and reopening game. 

    unfortunately, does not work on flashback which still only has the rearward facing view. 

  • Encountered a similar issue. Did 2 of the 3 programs at Suzuka and then created a mid-session save before doing the Qualifying Pace program. Now that save is stuck in the pits, if I load that save I am more or less guaranteed a crash, no matter if I exit to the main menu or try to skip the rest of P1. Game always seems to crash if I load that save so I guess I am done with Career mode for the time being? 

    I saw another thread with the EA reps asking for users Report Codes, so I will just post mine here if an EA rep happens to see this thread: GTGK-MBGD-XTVR-AARD

    @TheCreamS0da 100 percent forgot to mention that I am on PC, not in VR and just playing with a gamepad, no sim set up or anything fun like that.

    Try turning the wheel first and then open the pithouse software. İt’s strange but it seems to work.
