No drivatar difficulty payout in timed races (freeplay)

Hello,
As the title says, I get no payout for the drivatar difficulty in timed races. It is reproducable, happens every time, I try it. Before the last update it worked, I did an hour of Daytona and got all credits like it should be. As I tried last weekend, to make the most of my remaining vip-mods, I (fortunately) set a few minutes first. Regular payout was alright, but no drivatar bonus. Happened with different cars on Nordschleife and Daytona oval. Then I stopped and did races with laps set - all good.

Why is that? I like long racing sessions, but I also like to know, when it ends. And I would like to do grinding sessions on oval. Therefore 50 laps is a bit short…
Thank you

I’ve encountered the same bug on XB One. Using same assist settings with 50 lap race or timed race I only receive drivatar difficulty rewards for the timed race. Confirmed I have drivatar difficulty set to Unbeatable

50 Lap race

collect race completion credits
drivatar difficulty credits
mod credits
FE credits

1 hour 15 minute race

collect race completion credits
mod credits
FE credits

Is this a bug, or what is it? I still don’t get it…

Are you using the super easy assists

I haven’t gotten the drivatar difficulty rewards for times races either (1 hour timed at Daytona) since the Nov 3rd patch. Done the race twice with the same result. I’m not using any assists except ABS and drivatars are set to unbeatable. That’s 300k credits gone.

So, no answer on this?

just did a 30 min race on indy oval elite difficulty no assists
and got no payout for ai difficulty should be 100% got 0

did this only start happening after the patch to nerf xp timed race glitch with FE cars

edit: tested same settings only changed to 50 laps and got 100% drivaitar credits

Freeplay is super buggy.

Well the whole game is, but Freeplay is where you can really see the tangled mess.
