Re: 4.0 Update Discussion

Awesome, more DLC. Now are the progression bugs fixed in the base game so I can actually finish the events that are already in it? Because I don't give a rats * about the DLC in the game is still completely broken. If that Cobra, which can only be unlocked through the broken sponsor events, is still inaccessible, keeping me from competing in specific races, I'm gonna be pissed. Enough putting the cart before the horse.

    So the Oxy Sponsorship is completed. The Cobra is still locked, meaning I still can not complete the final event in the Semi Pro, Track Day series. You guys suck. I can't believe you are charging people money for this. The base game is still broken and you're making new DLC. Pathetic and massively disappointing. I just wanna be able to play the God damn game!!!

  • @BlackSun72 I really can't understand why this is happening to you I haven't heard of it from absolutely anybody else. Are you sure you are not missing something? Send vids or pics to the bug report section

    The racepoints dont count properly ,400x2 only 400 were added !

    Karrermode still dont shows 100% even every race won in some category ,

    Sponsors are still not counting as they should .

    Nemesis seems to be better !

    You are good in ignoring complaints codemaster and very persistant

    A few things I’ve noticed after the update:

    - the continental GT3 has side exhausts, although it shoots flames from beneath;

    - the original liveries on the new cars can’t be selected again if we choose a different one, they disappear;

    - sponsors are shown as completed but don’t give access to the sponsor event;

    - some textures continue to flickr a lot;

    - the 74’ 911 RSR still has two rev counters;

    - lack of tire smoke on drift events; sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t, it’s a pretty weird bug tbh 🤨

    The new cars are awesome, specially the Bentley Speed 8 and the AZ1 🙌

    @doomrunner666 I said as they should , for me they were not fixed in 3.3 i wouldnt have mentioned them now . I am sad because this is a good game but since the beginning it has these bugs and half of them are still not fixed today .
  • All sponsors completed and all events unlocked with no problem. For me the game is plays like it should

    @pjmansoYes the livery issues are the same for others also. I have detailed it in the bug report section hopefully it's fixed soon

    Are you serious? This forum is loaded with people complaining about career progression bugs. Maybe not my specific one, but lots of people can't move forward. Get your head out of your *, this game is a buggy disaster.

    I have the Oxy sponsor 100% complete all green 3/3. The car is still locked. On top of that, I can't even select that sponsor anymore. In fact several of them are not selectable. It doesn't nothing.

    This is so weird. Some people say the career sponsor bug has been fixed and some say it's still bugged. I haven't touched the game in months so I'm out of date but I completed the game back then and there were still some sponsors that were not unlocked. The Gauntlet in particular did not count as completed for me either. Hopefully these things will be fixed on my game when I go back to it.

    Just curious but did you try restarting the campaign from scratch? I remember reading from some other poster that in order for the sponsor bug fix to activate properly, you need to start the career campaign all over again.

    For those of you who are not experiencing any issues with the sponsor and campaign progression....did you restart your campaign from the beginning or did the fix work for you on your current save?

  • I'd like to start by sharing how phenomenal the GRID Legends product is.

    However, the previous GRID Legends update (It had another update last night prior to me testing if the Thrustmaster steering wheel failing to steer the cat in race, despite indications within the start GUI that it was working) seemd to have invoked the following issue:

    I did a little research and there are suggestions the USB Driver could have been corrupted on the console as a result of using a wired controller as opposed to the steering wheel.   (EDIT - I've since provedn this is NOT THE CASE by using a previous GRID product with the same sterring wheel successfully - therefore proving the problem is in GRID Legends).

    I'm loathe to do a factory reset on the console - the game updates themselves take forever to download.  Grid Legends has a large update which is now installing, hopefully that'll iron out the steering wheel calibrating fine, giving every indication via the Game Test GUI pre race that it is ok, then failing to steer the car during the race.

    Post XBOX update AND Grid Legends Latest update.

    7 minutes to load Grid Legends 1st time. Tried racing in career mode - problem reported that steering wheel fails to provide input to the game persists.

    Tried to quit.  Took 1-2 mins to navigate back to UI.  Tried to choose options - Game crashed an XBox powered Off without user interaction.

    Restarted XBox, load time still excessive > 8 minutes.  Navigated straight to Controls, Steering wheel input is being detected within Controls UI and shows deflection to left and right, following steering wheel input.

    Tried different, ginetta cup within rookie cup:  Seemed to work very briefly, before the XBox 'Choose a plan that's right for you' was presented on the screen?

    Has Grid Legends got some tie-in with the XBox Store which is corrupting the executable?

    Pressed B to get back to game whereby was eliminated. Restarted Race - No Steering Input being fed to the car despite it being displayed within the Controls Section of the UI that it is being detected.

    Inclined to raise a separate Fault for this to be addressed as a stand alone incident.

    Separate GRID Day One Edition (XBOX ONE X ENHANCED) Version loaded

    Steering Wheel works fine with an earlier Grid product, Not the Legends variant as reported above.  Looks like I won't be using Legends until this is resolved. Grid Legends was a product I was happy to pay full price for, instead of waiting for a second hand copy.  I appreciate the complexities of such a complex product, I hope Codemasters can resolve the issue soon.

    Yes I confirm, for me the sponsors are working properly now. I admit that before this update, it was a mess with finished sponsors showing 1/3, the objectives were not reading the right data, a bit frustrating.

    However, the events linked to the sponsor were unlocking without any problem and I was able to finish the game: it was a display problem only.

    There are still some display problems with the career objectives, which are validated but the check mark does not exist.
    For all the sponsors on the other hand, it is fixed (see the screen).
    I play on Xbox Series S, that could explain why I didn't have any problem like resetting the progress.

  • Just completing all three sponsor objectives will not unlock the car. You need to go to career mode->semi-pro->grid challenges->OXY sponsor race and complete the race in 1st

    Everything seems to be working fine but why do we need tracks we already have, this time with ramps?

    I have no desire to race with ramps or boost, so some new tracks on the next 2 DLC would be nice.

    Just give us tracks from Racedriver Grid and Grid 2.

    I have never been able to access photo mode, where is it?

    I've just turned the game on (Xbox Series X) and noticed that story mode event Clock's Ticking, does not show my gold trophy, it shows 2 chequered flags instead?

    The gold trophy was there last night when I turned it off, what's causing this?

  • @Isamu99For me I had the campaign progression bug after completing an online challenge race. But I just decided to begin it all again (without save reset options) after it glitched and all progression saved correctly. The Sponsor progression was fixed with patch 3.3

    I think the only way to access photo mode is through the replay.
    I have noticed on YouTube that some players have camera turn bottoms assigned, but all of them are on consoles.
    I am playing on PC/Steam with Logitech G29 wheel. For me, whatever device I choose as primary - keyboard or steering wheel - the turning bottoms are not assigned.
    I tried to assign them, but photomode options are just not listed in the keyboard settings.

    Thanks for the reply gentlemen I appreciate it. One quick question I have, is it possible to restart the entire campaign from the beginning without wiping your saved game? In other words is there an option to just wipe the progress you've made in the campaign while keeping everything else?

  • @Isamu99there are two options under save management in the options screen:- Reset Progress and create new save game but I believe you can't keep your vehicles unlocked with either option they both basically start you back at the very beginning. The only difference is with reset progress your current driver level stays the same

    thanks doom runner. And just to clarify if I do this will reset the progress I made in story mode as well, correct? Or is it just resetting the progress for the career mode?
