Product: F1 22Platform:PlayStation 5Summarize your bug After a heavy braking zone, my car sometimes randomly loses 80% of its power and revs really slowly yet I’m flat. Can only fix by restarting appWhat is your 16 digit Report Code? PGMKGJRBCVDEDTKAWhich area is the bug/glitch in? My TeamHow often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)Did you have cross-play enabled? YesSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don’t know no one else has itWhat happens when the bug occurs? My car loses majority of its powerWhat do you expect to see? Full throttle meaning full powerCar loses almost all of its power coming out of braking zones sometimes, can’t fix it without restarting app

This sounds like a controller/pedal issue... Look at what happens to the throttle and brake traces on-screen the next time it happens. My guess is you'll see a significant amount of brake is still being applied when you're trying to accelerate.

@Fingerbun Also could be. Are you using Full Traction Control? I’m assuming as your braking heavy. It’s for a tight and slow 2nd gear corner.Then as you accelerate out off that corner your car is slow? If you are using. Traction control. This is likely because you’re adding too much throttle too quickly. Which means too much power is being sent to your rear wheels. To stop you from violently wheel spinning and crashing. Traction Control will activate and dramatically reduce the amount of power getting to the wheels. The more you press down on the throttle the longer it will take to accelerateComing out off slow corners you need to be very gentle with your throttle inputs until you get up to in 5th gear then you can max throttle.Sorry if you know all this already.

@ScarDuck14 I run medium traction control but I ease onto the throttle and then if I flashback to the middle of the straight it decelerates from there, thanks for the ideas though

@ScarDuck14I can agree with that considering how hard it is to make it past turn 1 in an unranked lobby😂

For context, what wheel and pedals are you using?In game, if you go to Settings > Controls, Vibration & Force Feedback, select your control profile, choose Edit and then Test Buttons, are you able to recreate the issue? If you can easily connect your wheel to a PC you could probably also test performance independent of the game using the wheel manufacturer's own software. (I know you play on PS5 as I do - I'm just suggesting this for troubleshooting.)

@Ultrasonic_77 I’m currently using a g29 set up, I can’t right now as it’s kind of 11:55 in Australia so my household probably wouldn’t enjoy that but I’ll get back to you when I can.

@Fingerbun There’s a couple of posts on this board. That have been posted today. Slightly different issues but all are to do with Logitech wheels, may be worth contacting Logitech. Could be a issue at their end

Did you try what I suggested? Personally I still think it's most likely you're experiencing a hardware fault specufic to your pedals.

@Ultrasonic_77 Yep, I couldn’t recreate it no matter how much I tried so I’ll see where it goes from here

That's interesting, and a bit confusing. Unless perhaps it actually is related to traction control.

@Ultrasonic_77 I’ll have a go on zero traction control and hopefully not become a beyblade while I’m at it

@Ultrasonic_77 Nevermind, I had one more go at recreating it and did, if I fully push the brake in there and stamp on the throttle while it’s still full on it only goes to 50, if I get off the brake it still stays on around 50, but if I then get off the throttle and back on it fixes itself, which it doesn’t in game.

@Ultrasonic_77 After unplugging everything in the pedals and replugging it all in Ive fixed it, hopefully it stays that way
