Project Cars 3 - Game freezes during a long race

Hi guys, 

I want to let everyone know about a very fatal bug that needs fixing ASAP before the servers get shut down. 

I'm currently playing Project Cars 3, and I found a solid method to grind XP, by doing a 30-50 lap race on Daytona. 

Here's the thing though, in every single race I have attempted today, the game freezes during the race and I lose all my progress and XP because I have to close the game and restart it. The moment when the game freezes is random, but it tends to happen around lap 30 mostly. 

And before you ask, I tried everything possible. 

  • I tried restarting the console, did nothing. 
  • I tried deleting and reinstalling the game, did nothing. 
  • I tried restoring the licenses, since I have all DLC, didn't work. 
  • I tried switching off internet and playing offline, froze anyway. 
  • I tried clearing the system software cache, nope. 
  • I tried rebuilding the database, didn't work either. 
  • I even tried to turn everything off in the settings that could cause this bug, NOTHING WAS WORKING!!! 

This is a big, big problem, because I love this game, and I want to purchase new cars and level them up, but if the game keeps freezing while grinding XP and I lose everything I have done, then it's highly infuriating. I basically wasted one entire day trying to get this garbage to work, but to no avail. 

Worse yet, I'm playing on PS5, so it should run flawlessly. And even worse, it's laughable that it's been five years, and nothing has been done to fix it. 

If anyone important reads this, get to work on it ASAP, because this could define if I want to continue playing the game or not. You guys apparently own Codemasters, so it's technically YOUR responsibility to keep it stable. 

Let's hope for the best. 

- Nico
