Never ending loading screen with additional issues

Bug Info: Was joining an X class online featured race, once I was loaded in and tried to change my car I got the same frustrating bug of the never ending loading screen. I decided to wait it out (sometimes it will resolve… rarely though). I waited all the way through practice until the race launch timer and this is way happened.

I still was unable to get into the race and I had to close/restart my game.

Platform: Windows PC xbox app

Edition: Premium, with all Add-Ons

Account: solo account

PC GPU: Overclocked PowerColor Red Devil RX 6900 XT (with latest drivers)

Peripheral: xbox controller

Settings: Max graphics, fps etc. No driving assists

Xbox Settings: Again on a PC

Attempted fixes: I have tried all fixes related to the never ending loading screen, forums, tickets, reinstall, verify files etc. None have worked over a year!

Content Update: This has been happening since game launch day 1 on pc. I decided to post about this now because I got an interesting result for waiting the whole time until the race started. This is still a very infuriating problem that happens 5 times outta 10 when playing the game on PC. Sometimes in very rare instances of this never ending loading screen the game will still crash. But that is 2 times outta 10.

Voted. :+1:

5 times across different days over this last week, my game (PC/Steam premium edition) got stuck on the “changing car - loading, please wait” screen when I selected a car from my garage upon joining a public multiplayer lobby.

After waiting 10+ minutes on this unresponsive screen, I had to Alt+F4 to forcibly exit/quit the game.


* Edit…
I did some searching online and found a number of people recommending this work-around:
• Do not select a car when the initial car selection screen comes up after loading into a public lobby.
• Instead, cancel/back out of that first car selection screen, which will then take you to the pit lane menu.
• Use the pit lane menu to select your car.

So far, this work-around has worked successfully for me without getting stuck on the “changing car” loading screen.

It’s strange that after months of playing this game, I never had this problem until now.

I have RTX 4080 32 gb ddr4 ram intel 12600k cpu game installed on SSD. While playing free play mode After last update game started to getting slow again. Waiting too much on loading screen and while selecting cars and changing fuel tire its same. Almost we arrived 1 year since game released but still same problems. Please fix this problems urgent. im wasting too much time while waiting those loading screen.
