My Team career (2026 regulations), end of Season 2. On the "Season Complete" statistics screen, pressing Advance causes the game to freeze within about 1 second and close to desktop with no error message. This happens 100% of the time — I have tried it multiple times and it always crashes at exactly the same point.
Important detail — driver market was already wird before the crash:**
During the later part of Season 2, the option to send contract offers to drivers was missing completely. There was no button to approach or negotiate with drivers in the driver market. This looks very similar to the known F1 24 My Team contract/driver market bug that was fixed in F1 24 patches v1.7/v1.8, where the approach/renew buttons were missing and careers got stuck at the season transition.
Career details that may be relevant:
- End of Season 2, won the Constructors' Championship (and likely Drivers')
- Lewis Hamilton retired at the end of Season 2
- My Team drivers: Lando Norris and Liam Lawson
- Engine supplier: Ferrari
- No achievements/accolades were awarded despite winning the championship (Season Complete screen shows Accolades Earned: 0), suggesting the season never finalizes
Steps to reproduce:
1. Load the attached My Team save (2026 regulations, end of Season 2)
2. Press Continue to reach the "Season Complete" statistics screen
3. Press Advance
4. Game freezes within ~1 second and closes to desktop, no error message
What I have already tried:
- Verified game files through Steam (multiple times)
- Checked Load Career — only one save exists, no earlier autosave to roll back to
"I have the save files (savegame_profile from Steam userdata/3059520/remote) backed up and ready to send. The crash is 100% reproducible with this save — please let me know how to get it to you."
