Leveling up issue.

Just recently started FH4 last week, just as Season 9 started. Anyway tonight I noticed that my levelling up at the end of a race/event worked ok but its incorrect when I go back to the open world . So I got to level 42 on the level up screen when I returned back to the open world I’m still level 41, I thought I was going mad at 1st. Next time I levelled up I made sure to check what my new level was and I levelled up to 42 and when I returned back to the open world still stuck on 41. I’m pretty sure I’ve levelled up to level 42 twice now. I seem to get a wheelspin when levelling up, not every time though. I quit the game fully from my XBX and loaded again and its still on level 41. Ill check tomorrow evening to see if its updated or not, and check the levelling up after each event.

I think I found the issue. Im doing Season 9 and completing the new story mode which I can do, but technically its not available to level 70, which I’m not. When I complete a chapter in the story mode I get the influence for driver level and it levels up but nothing goes onto the story mode level. But the driver level then stays the same on the level up screen and doesn’t reset, so if I do multiple chapters at once then it looks like I’m levelling the driver level up even further, so I could still be at level 43 but the driver level up screen after the event could show level 45. When I quit the game and start again driver level up screen is reset back to the level I’m showing in the open world so for example 43 not 45. When doing normal races etc the levelling up works fine.

Im hoping that when I do reach level 70 and unlock the story, as I’ve completed it to do the Season 9 challenge that I get all the influence and rewards straight away or whether I need to play through it again?
