Based on my handful of Eliminator rounds post patch it’s not fixed. Seems like I can see more other players, but not all of them, and challenging others (vice versa is probably the same) is broken.
Just played again. Definitely still broken, many times I couldn’t challenge anyone. I just won a round though. Got to the flag on the minimap but couldn’t find the destination, I think I was over it in a tunnel. Then the game just fast travelled me to the finish line which was weird, and I won. Very strange.
Another annoying bug still present: the accolade for getting a level 8 car still doesn’t work! I got another level 8 car in this round and checked afterwards, still no accolade. Must have done it half a dozen times now.
EDIT
You are right, that accolade is for level 8 cars and I completed it.
The only attempt that you can try is to pin this accolade and play an eliminator with that accolade pinned seeing if it unlock when you grab a level 8 cars.
In other case in order to unlock some accolade I had to pinned it. Try it.
The other day, I got the level 9 Rahal Letterman Fiesta from a drop & then beat a rival to get a level 10 buggy.
I’ve also previously driven the Gymkhana 10 Escort, but I still haven’t been awarded the accolades for acquiring a level 9 or a level 10 car.
I’ve currently got a support ticket open.
I just played a round, saw no one else throughout with the exception of an arrow pointing to another player on the minimap early on. I got challenged by two other invisible players and won (?) against them, with the destination being only a few hundred yards away. I obviously couldn’t challenge anyone myself.
Then in the final race I “won” the entire Eliminator as if there was no one else around – I wonder if everyone who was left “won” as well.
I played a round last night and this was my experience:
It took forever to start, over 10 minutes
When it did start, the top center screen message that says the game will start soon never went away
I couldnt see any other players until the final round. Then the final round started and was over in about 6 seconds. Never had a chance.
I could see car drops but couldnt accept a single one. I had to play with the VW the entire time. I could see that other players were getting car drops the entire time.
Arena shrinking seemed to move a lot faster than normal, despite my being in what I thought was near center map.
This was on the Xbox series X with a regular controller.
For the 11 millionth time, can you shrink all messaging that blocks your entire view during eliminator? Its quite annoying not being able to see where you’re going. Puts us at an extremely massive disadvantage!
