Free Play Ghosts

I’m in the middle of a 40 lap run on our latest HLC at Homestead and I’ve noticed something very strange.

Despite having set a PB already on my run, my ghost is being overwritten each lap. I am now running against my previous lap’s ghost EVERY lap.

Is this happening to anyone else? Or is it a one-off?

I just noticed there has been a content update today, but no mention of changes to Free Play ghosts.

We appear to be running against the previous lap ghost now. Previously it was either the outlap or the PB lap.

Can anyone from T10 confirm this change please?

That used to happen in test drive mode before (running against previous lap not PB), figured it was to compare your tune changes, now free lapping mode is stuck on the prevoous best and rather annoying

I guess my game was suffering from some odd glitch. At the end of my run the PB did not save and the leaderboards were shown as unavailable.

After a hard reset of my XBox, the ghosts are back to normal. Outlap ghost until you set a PB.

Very odd.

Sad that this would be considered normal behavior as it’s rather worthless. What you thought they changed it to is better in some aspects but still worthless. You should be running against your PB at all times. Also, I remember a Forza where you ran against two ghosts. Your PB and your session best. Those were the days.

I agree, the outlap ghost is useless. If T10 have a problem with the storage of PB ghosts, it would be much better if the session ghost could be overwritten with your fastest session lap. It can’t be that difficult to code.

When the problem happened I wasn’t running in Test Drive, although the game must have thought I was LOL.

you did it in test drive?
