Weather in Career Mode is locked

  • Platform: Steam
  • Summary of issue: The weather in career mode is locked even with playing on expert and there is no setting where you could change it.
  • Which area is the bug/glitch in? Career mode
  • How can we find the bug ourselves? F122 Career Mode
  • What happens when the bug occurs? It's just sunny every session with no humidity and it is just boring.
  • What do you expect to see? Maybe a setting where you can change between the weather situations or dynamic as in Multiplayer lobbies

Dear EA 

In my MyTeam Career Mode it is just always sunny, so I was worried that it was locked to dry. But as you might know there is no setting for the career where you can influence the weather itself. And the problem is when I go to the cinema where I saved some race replays, I can see that in the first few races the weather was on dynamic, but then after Miami the weather is set to dry all the way. (Unfortunately, I am not able to share any screenshots.) I didn't change anything. How could I, there is no setting for that. Maybe it has something to do with the bug that when you leave the career and come back the AI difficulty is locked to 25% and it could be that the racestyle itself gets changed and so it has influenced the weather. I play Career Modes to have fun and be part of interesting and changeable races wheree the results are not always scripted. But if the weather is just always dry, it gets really boring after a few seasons. Of course you can try it with starting a new career, but if you want to have crazy driver changes and changes in team performance it's just no option. So please do find a solution for that. I am not the only one who is suffering this.

    @Chris8166W This isnt a bug, its by design that you cannot alter the weather in career mode. In contrast my last 4 races in myteam have all been wet. I’d rather have the sunny weather you speak of. My favourite section of the season (canada to france) has been all wet so far, hopefully it drys up before spa 🥲

    @ajobling1983 since the very first f1 season On average rain has only effected two races per season. And for the most part those effected races. The track doesn’t stay wet for longer than half the race.
    I don’t has a problem driving in wet races. I do have a problem with the silly rain drops on the screen. And always wrong info from the race engineer and the fact the rain is scripted. And likes to get either to wet or to dry a few laps from the end. Where the ai stay out. Where if we stay out we die and if we pit. An hours racing to get a good finishing position is taken away from you cause someone thinks Ooo it’ll add some exciting Jeopardy to the end off the race. Nope it just makes me angry.

    what ever camera settings I’m using, think it was from marcels video you recommended, have eliminated the rain drops on my screen 👍 i had one race which went from full wet to inters to slicks. I lost so much time to the AI in the transitional periods. My last race was full wet for the whole race. Conditions did not change. I found this much easier to get into a rhythm and even make a few overtakes. Not sure why but i find full wet conditions with no TC quite easy in this version of the game.

    Perhaps read his post again. The game changed the setting to Dry by itself, but it's locked so he cannot change it back to Dynamic.

    @ajobling1983I spent the whole 50%. Race at Imola listening to New Jeff telling me ten more minutes off rain. So I went long on my inters until they were over 80% worn and was losing masses off time. Hadt to risk going to softs as it had stopped raining but had zero traction as it didn’t get dry enough until the lap after the lap I pitted and by this time I was in last place. With 2 laps to go. Lost good  points finish because scripted rain and completely useless information from race engineer

    @ajobling1983 Yeah, but the thing is that the weather settings are locked on bone dry and are not on dynamic. I've looked that up in my cinema where I ssaved some race replays. The first few races are on Dynamic but then it changes to cloudless (dry). And as you said you can't change that and this is my problem.

    @ScarDuck14 I dont tend to listen to the engineer anymore. To go on slicks i allways wait for drs to be enabled then wait another lap. Wet to inters is trickier.

    @ajobling1983 I do the same but from the first lap he’s telling me ten more minutes or rain. In a 50minute race give or take. You would think as useless as he is. You’d get a dry track for a third off the race
