Single Player day not advancing
When I play the Single Player my day does not advance properly and I’m forever stuck on Wednesday Night and I get Daytime deliveries and different events that aren’t supposed to occur at Night.

Summarize your bug I’m currently stuck on Wednesday night infinitely in single player and I keep getting events I’m not supposed to get like daytime deliveries and races I shouldn’t have access to with payouts that say “$0” but I still get full money:
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not entirely sure
What happens when the bug occurs? Well I get access to events I shouldn’t on Wednesday Night like the GNX and LaFerrari deliveries with a payout showing zero but my bank account increases upon completion. I’m able to bank the money and the “advance” but when I go to leave the garage it goes back to Wednesday night and my account returns to my original money of $12,623,830 but loads new events that can only be accessed by heat 2 or higher while I don’t have a heat level.
What do you expect to see? Well I expect to see the proper events for Wednesday night and for the day to properly advance after doing events to the following Thursday morning.
Fix it please it’s very frustrating.
Intro
Hello, I’m on PS5 and have been experiencing this bug where I cannot play the story mode normally anymore since the beginning of Volume 7. (I have beaten the story and do not know if this affects people who haven’t)
It is now Volume 8 and the bug is still present. It seems to be a very rare bug that I’ve seen few people have, however I’m hoping this bug will be patched soon as half the game has become borderline unplayable!!
What Happens in This Bug
Loading into the garage in either Story or Online is longer than usual. (more specifically the black screen that appears before showing the garage menu)
When looking at the map, the available meetups are fewer (2-3) than normal depending on the day (like 4-7 I believe) with these few meetups only having 1 race each.
Delivery missions show $0 as the reward and upon completion the reward screen shows $0 for all the time completion ranks and $0 as the reward given. (It does give you the normal reward regardless)
Heat Delivery missions also show $0 as the reward and during the event the damage meter is no longer visible.
The heat gained from doing races is no longer given accurately and can prevent you from doing the few events already given as some require a specific heat level.
The day of the week menu is stuck on Thursday (it varies depending on the day you left off on before the bug) and it stays as daytime even when it shows the animation of it switching to night when entering the garage. It also shows the usual nighttime events on the map, but during gameplay it is daytime.
When continuing to play what you can, going through what should be different days, the game will eventually crash. When going back into story, you will be set back to the same events that were there when first playing before the crash. (This also happens when switching between modes)
Left on the pad action (top right corner) when in free roam will sometimes not show up and will be unable to quick select safe house or meetup.
Conclusion
This bug has really ruined half of this game and has made earning money very difficult. It has kept me from playing specific tiers of races and the overall playability of this game. I really really REALLY HOPE this gets patched soon, because I miss enjoying the story mode as it’s the core experience of a NFS game.

Hey @Mr_Spoogyboo
To check a few things
- Do you remember getting an error about your save during your last session (before the issues started)?
- How many Wraps and how many cars do you have (across SP and MP)?
- Do you only have the issue from your screenshots in story mode or also in online?
Hello @EA_Illium I have the same problem as @Mr_Spoogyboo
-Do you remember getting an error about your save during your last session?
In my case, no, I received this error, "unable to save," one year ago in story mode, but it was resolved by deleting wraps.
-How many wraps and how many cars do you have?
Story: 65 cars (The Nissan Gtr R35 and the Lotus Evija are repeated)
Online: 64 cars
Wraps: 41 wraps (in both modes) some of the wraps are not in use.
-Do you only have the issue from your screenshots in story mode or also in online mode?
In online, I only have a problem with the daily and weekly challenges. One month ago, I was playing PvP playlists, and it was running properly (I kept playing until 3 AM). The next time I played online, I encountered this problem: when I enter multiplayer mode, the challenges appear, but when I find a game, they disappear. In Story, I have the problem that the game is stuck on Wednesday night.
