Dear EA/Codemasters F1 Team
I am an organizer of a german league and many of the drivers had the same bug now since the game released. So in the name of all participants of the league, I want to report this bug to you.
What it is about:
Sometimes, very random, if u load into a new session, for example from quali to race or even if you just started a new session and go out of the box in quali, you basically cant turn the car, because it seems like the system sets the wheel rotation to the maximum. This is from what we know what the most people had, but some had it right in the session also.
Where does it happen:
We had many league races (online), where mostly in quali sessions at the beginning and in the formation laps some drivers had this bug, which is not a huge problem, because u can fix it with disabling your wheel settings in game and enable it right after again and then the wheel rotation is like it should be again. I also had this bug in Grand Prix Mode when I got into the race.
The problem is, when you start without formation lap, like we did on last Monday (01.09.) in one of our leagues and the bug occures to some drivers, they just go into turn 1 and go straight. Some of them tried to fix it like I described above in the start procedure, but it was chaos because their cars where taken by the AI while they were in the settings. I will ask the drivers of the race if they have a recording of the start.
Which devices where used:
There were no simularities in the different wheels that where used, it happend to Fanatec, Thrustmaster, Logitech, Moza and other wheel users.
How often does this bug appear:
Not often, maybe every 10th time you load into a session, but we cant say for sure, because we do not know the reason why this bug occures and some people have this bug very often, some had it only a few times and some did not have it all. It is very random.
We are amazed that nobody reported this bug yet for what I see, I will encourage the people that had this bug already to share their experience here. I hope you can find the problem and fix it as soon as possible
