For some reason this is happening to me a lot more since the Fortune Island update. I don’t know if it’s just coincidental or not.
From what I’ve read here and elsewhere this is a longstanding, known problem. I wish it would get fixed. When there are duplicate drivatars in a race somehow one of them gets the series scores of both, giving that one end series totals of more than 60 and making them impossible to beat.
Pretty much the only reason I have left to play is the weekly series, and I can’t play them now because of this bug.
Nope, I’ve read lots of messsages and know to avoid changing difficulty in the races.
The thing that sometimes works for me - I think - is switching to Horizon Solo. I’m not sure, though, because I was trying so many different things: switching cars, switching tunes on the same car, changing difficulty multiple times before starting a series, starting a different race, changing the difficulty after finishing it, then entering the series, restarting the game, resetting the app data, I even reinstalled once. I can’t be sure that one of the other things I tried didn’t fix the problem before I tried Horizon Solo.
