No steering in Free Play - Freezing in online

Tried to do a free play game on Lime rock and the steering wouldn’t work until I went onto the Xbox menu and came back to the game.

Also online freezing not allowing me to change fuel/tyres before a race meaning it compromises the whole race.

Well done turn 10.

And it just happened again
Froze before the start, went straight to the race with no chance to change fuel/tyre strategy.

Good job Turn10.

This has also happened to me a couple of times. I think it has to do with restarting a session while having in-race telemetry showing? I’ve seen a couple of weird bugs stemming from telemetry being active on a race start. I noticed that whenever this bug triggers, it doesn’t show the external shots of the car prior to the countdown. It just goes straight to your active race camera for 4-5 seconds then starts the countdown. Whenever this happens, I also lose steering entirely. The first time it triggered, restarting my wheelbase fixed the issue. The second time it triggered, it didn’t fix until I switched cars.

I managed to recreate this bug today. It seems that if you start a session with something that would have a flying start, then change the event within the session to that of a standing start, the game does the normal standing start, but the camera starts in race cam (as if you’re doing a running start). The issue is that after the countdown, the game doesn’t give you control of the steering.

Doing the following triggers this bug:

  1. create a free play session in test drive mode
  2. start the test drive, quit back to prerace menu
  3. within the session, change the event to circuit/timed race
  4. start the race. this should trigger it

Can confirm it happens in online private multiplayer as well. Hopefully someone sees this.
