Softlock – Players Stuck in Different Locations (Season 5)
Hello EA / Codemasters Support Team,
My friend and I have encountered a serious game-breaking bug in F1 25 Two-Player Career Mode.
We are currently in Season 5 of our career, and we can no longer progress to the next Grand Prix.
Description of the issue:
- I am the host of the Two-Player Career session.
- When I load our career, my character is already in the paddock, waiting to start the next Grand Prix.
- The game displays “Waiting for other player.”
- My teammate cannot join properly while I am in the session.
- When I leave the session, my teammate automatically enters the career but remains stuck in Driver Headquarters.
- He has no “Advance” or “Continue” button available.
- Other sections of his headquarters, including R&D and the calendar, remain accessible.
- When I rejoin the career, the same situation occurs again.
Important detail:
During our previous session, my teammate’s game crashed. We suspect that this crash may have caused our career progression to become desynchronized.
Troubleshooting already attempted:
- Restarting the game on both PCs.
- Leaving and rejoining the career session.
- Changing the order in which players join.
- Reconnecting through invitations.
None of these attempts resolved the issue.
Game mode: Two-Player Career
Career season: Season 5
Platform: PC
Issue: Career progression blocked / possible save desynchronization
We have invested a significant amount of time into this career and would really like to avoid losing five seasons of progress.
Could you please investigate this issue and let us know whether there is a way to restore synchronization between both players without deleting or restarting our career?
If necessary, we can provide screenshots, recordings, or save files to assist your investigation.
Thank you for your assistance.
