With apologies for a re-post from the general discussion forum, thought I’d try again here to see if anyone has a fix, or how to get T10 to correct this …
Any suggestions for a fix - or will it cure itself if left? - for a glitch on a purchase of one of this week’s SD cars??
I always swap my existing car for an SD one to improve my collection score. Worked fine (as usual) for three cars, but glitch with the last of the four I bought, the Audi …
Having sold my existing car to the game for half price, I bought the SD version … cash went down, collector score went up, I could use Forzavista to see the car from the home screen … but it never appeared in my garage collection??? So cannot now select or drive it?
The SD entry is greyed-out, saying I cannot buy another one as I have already bought one; the car collection pages show that I have one; and if I try and buy another from the normal screen, I see the message that I won’t get any more collector points as I already have one.
But … still doesn’t appear (re-appear) in my garage.
I tried closing the game down, and re-starting my machine, but no avail.
I even bought another, non-SD, copy to see if that arriving in my garage would make both appear … but no, I can just see that new (third …) car with its normal collector score showing, not the SD-bought one … though my total collector score still includes the boost for the SD-copy that I did (part!) buy …
Yep, I’m sure that I didn’t sell the SD one, because I sold my first one before I bought the SD copy …
After buying (trying to!) the SD copy, my home screen showed the “new” Audi in the background as my current car … but when I clicked to go to the garage, there was a pause and then the garage opened on the first (most recent) Abarth car, that is the default first one in the garage list, as If I wasn’t “in” a car at that point … presumably because the Audi was not properly “in” my garage …
I’ve now also sold on the third, “normal” Audi … and my garage shows NO examples of this car; but the car collection screen says I have one, and the normal salesroom tells me that I won’t get any more collector points for buying another one, because I already have one …
The ONLY place the SD Audi does NOT appear is … sadly … in my garage!!
This happened to me once. Never corrected itseof, didn’t worry bout it.
I buy the higher score card from SD, after buying one, I go to garage to sell my lower score dupe.
I’d bought a common car, the eagle(I remember because there is only one eagle). Iirc, the standard eagle was ~40 score, the SD version was 4 or 5 more. So when I purchased eagle, I was now in it. Go to garage, under eagle there was only one, the lower score value. Obviously SD showed I’d purchased higher value and couldn’t buy another.
Console restart didn’t correct issues. No big deal, only has happened the one time.
You’re right, not a big deal overall … but it does bug me!
The code to manage the car garage file doesn’t seem like that hard a thing to get right … and for it to have some sort of cross-check against the other elements of the system: how can the car collection screen and system say that I DO have one, when my garage says I DON’T?? The discrepancy should make it fall over, I’d have thought …
As of now I’ve paid for two full price and one SD copies of this … and got back two half-price sales back to the game … but have NO cars …!!
