F1 22 does not load due to "Connecting to Online Services"

Totally agree. In F1 21 this was also an annoying issue (the fact that it had to connect to some services before loading the first menu already And basically after every load/change. Big difference in F1 22 is that it actually fails to connect sometimes and breaks the game completely.

So I think it would be decent to fix it in F1 21 also, since there must be plenty of people playing that game also.

Priority on F1 22, although looking at the (minor) differences I cannot imagine the code bases are all that different :-)
