The latest update brought a change to the way saves work in clubs. Prior to that, the save would only update after each stage, which meant that repairs done at a service wouldn't be saved if you quit before doing the next stage so you could quit, come back and try repairs again if the total repair time gave you a penalty for the next stage. This is no longer possible as the save is now updated after validating repairs, which means it's no longer possible to just quit before coming back and trying again. However, there is a glitch with this save system, which is that service penalties that are saved before quitting to the main menu are now duplicated after each service, whether you exceeded the time limit or not.
Here are steps to reproduce the glitch:
- Start a club event with multiple services and damage the car significantly during the first stage
- Repair the car and exceed the time limit.
- Quit to the clubs menu.
- Re-enter the club and drive through the next stage, the penalty will be applied after the stage which is supposed to happen.
- Don't repair the car in the next service, or repair it without exceeding the time limit and drive the next stage. The penalty gets applied again even though the service time limit wasn't exceeded.
This will happen in every subsequent service. I was told that quitting after a service where the time limit wasn't exceeded would fix the issue, but it didn't work on my end and I got the same penalty again when I tried.
The attached screenshots show the first service that causes a penalty, the results of the next stage which include the penalty, then the second service that shouldn't cause a penalty and the results of the stage after that service that incude the penalty again.
