So in the start of this month I wanted to play with friends in a convoy and got the “An event failed to start” error. I looked it up and found the workaround which was given on the support page.
However, the issue goes farther than that:
I have also made a custom route in the beginning of this month. Me and a few friends of mine were ready to do a PvP race on that custom circuit I made and I used the workaround as advised by the support page. Except the following happened:
- The event popped up on the minimap and I accepted it by using the LB shortcut
- The event started loading, but the preview showed me the default point-to-point route.
- The event also started loading for my friends, except they did have my custom route loaded in
- Even weirder, the race loaded completely and I actually had to do the default point-to-point race while my friends were racing on my custom route…
So while having a workaround for the issue regarding the “An event failed to start” (as mentioned here) is great, I’d say that the fact that it’s not possible to play custom blueprints in convoys right now is a larger issue that’s going on.
I have decided on making this post myself since I have not found anyone report this issue very clearly and I thought it’d be important to add this to the existing issue.
Another question I would like to ask is on whether the issue can be resolved before update 12 or not, because me and my friends really want to drive around my custom route:/
