Dramatic performance loss post patch in local splitscreen from second race
Reporting this again as i think it got lost in the forum migration. Report code: VTMH-RKVH-SRHB-KGXD Issue not present on v1.15 and earlier. Originally reported on v1.16 but still occurring on 1.17. Yet to try it on 1.18 but this issue is not listed in the patch notes. This is F124, on PC, on Windows 10. Since the most recent (v1.16) patch, when playing a splitscreen season (we ususally do 6 or 7 races), from the second race we experience a profound slowdown; dramatic loss of FPS, unresponsive menus, from the point of loading the pre-qualifying screen on the second race - the first race is always fine. We've tried this on a different PC too, and the exact same symptoms are observed. Peripherals: Razer DeathAdder Pro mouse Wisfox CE0142 USB Keyboard 2x Wireless Xbox one controllers To recreate: Play local splitscreen, create a season of 6 or 7 races of medium length, and play it. The symptoms are observed from the second race onwards (we did see it on the third race on one single occasion, but since then it has exclusively begun at the second race) Menus become extremely slow to respond to button presses. When you eventually reach the race, FPS has dropped to unplayable flip-book type levels. If you attempt to open Task Manager at this point the game will crash silently. The game continue to work smoothly as it has done until the most recent patch. This issue has driven me nuts - I've only recently realised it is patch related. Initially I thought it was Feedback Hub running in the background, but I uninstalled this and installed a microsoft patch, which had no effect. I also suspected CPU overheating for a time, and replaced my CPU cooler, but it is also not that (although it did need replacing). I have tried the suggested fix of deleting the hardware settings files and letting them regenerate, again to no avail. And as mentioned in the bug report form, when we began to suspect patch 1.16, we tried it on a different PC and observed the exact same symptoms, so we are now confident that this is a game issue rather than a local configuration issue. We can benchmark fine (Vegas avg: 87, Silverstone avg: 117), and we can also play a full single race and complete it without issue. The problem only arises once we progress to the second race in local splitscreen. hardware_settings_config.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <hardware_settings_config applyOOTB="false">

The problem of continuing a two-person career
Hello, I encountered a problem with a two-person career, more precisely when I started a training session with a friend in Singapore, his internet went down and from that moment on we can't play together anymore because when we start the career again, he always has a black screen and the words waiting for a player (i.e. waiting for me) there is a countdown and when it counts down to zero, nothing happens, and on my screen I am in the session selection. We checked the integrity of the files, restarted the computers and it didn't help. Is there any chance to save this career because we really want to be able to play together again?Can not invite friends over the game menu.
If i want to invite a friend over the game menu- friends the game crashes everytime, so playing coop is not possible. But in f1 world we can invite each other over the xbox menu, which is not possible when we want to play coop career. What would be the solution to our problem? Thx
Career error with 2 players
Good morning, During the performance of the career in sharing with another user in the "two players career" mode, arrived at the Grand Prix No. 15, it’s not possible to enter the headquarters where to continue the career. Specifically only a user can enter, while the other remains in the "loading" screen. If the player who has managed to access returns to the main menu, the other can access the headquarters but finds himself in a different Grand Prix and the advance command is not displayed to continue the career. This happened at the beginning of the Holland Grand Prix. Platform: both players on PS4Broken autosave in two player career

Tyre selection doesn’t work career mode
Tyre selection doesn’t work in two player career mode. You can select it for the first race of the season and then it doesn’t work after that. softer, balanced and harder selection. balanced and harder are useless which you get stuck on especially on sprint weekends.
