What is your 16 digit Report Code? See above
Which area is the bug/glitch in? Driver Career
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Did you have cross-play enabled? No
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I often see the message when going into Game options from the home menu. I also see it when I am in a trial mode and then press the pause menu. It shows on the pause menu. I have selected 'Driver Career' above as there was no option for anything else such as main menu.
What happens when the bug occurs? Most of the time it lets me carry on using the game but there are a number of glitches I am finding and not sure if they are linked such as: 1. Every now and again when I run the game, the sound it distorted and have to close and reopen the game. 2. I cannot enable HDR mode in the menu. The only way I can do it is if I first enable it in Windows. I don't wish to do that however as I don't want to run my windows desktop in HDR mode. All my other games including F1 2017 allows me to select HDR in the game without enabling it in windows specifically. 3. When I manage to get HDR working, the menus and game is all washed out despite changing the nits setting. If I change it to as low as 1, nothing happens on scree, still looks washed out and way to bright. Sometimes it eventually shows ok but then when I close the game and go back in, it is all washed out again. I can take photos but it does not come across well in the photos. In he photos they look ok but on screen they are actually washed out and too bright. 4. When HDR is enabled, it cant sometimes show as disabled for some reason in the game, this does not happen all the time. 5. Under the graphics section under video mode and anti-aliasing, I don't have the option to select NVIDIA DLSS, only AMD modes. I don't have an AMD processor or graphics card. I have an Intel processor and Nvidia graphics card. 6. When Adjusting the Gamma mode the first time running the game in non HDR mode, There are a series of tiles from dark to light. I can see all the tiles, if I reduce the gamma so that the darkest one is just about visible, I find the gamma setting in the game is to high and washed out so have to drop it lower. 7. The graphics in the distance always seems washed out and blurry, and never clear. 8. When I first run the game and select the 'F1 Life' tab at the top, I get presented with a screen with a supercar logo in the middle, an 'OKAY' button further down which I cannot select and then the green select button bottom right hand corner. If I select the green button it take me to another similar page with 3 icons, F1, F2 and Supercar. Again with the 'OKAY' button which I cannot press. I click on Select and then it takes me back to the main menu. This does not come back again until I restart the game.
What do you expect to see? No more messages about reporting a code. 1. For the sound to not be distorted when running the game. 2. The ability to enable HDR in game without enabling it in windows first. 3. When HDR mode is selected, for the menus to not be washed out and for the HDR mode to change when changing the NITS setting. At present you can't see a change. 4. When HDR mode is enabled, for it to show as enabled all the time and not show as off. 5. To be able to select NVIDIA DLSS under the video mode/anti-aliaising section. 6. For the Gamma setting with the tiles to be calibrated correctly and match up with the gamma setting in the game. 7. Should the graphics in the distance always be blurry or should they be sharp? Should they always be washed out or should they have more colour? I can understand things in the distance tend to be more blurry or washed out at times but would not expect it all the time, only depending on the weather at the time. 8. Should the OKAY button work under F1 Life or is this just a graphical glitch?
Please see attached screenshots. I can provide more if required. Note however that the photos taken don't always show what I see as the camera tries to correct the image.
