Legit cant sign anyone even thought my staff and drivers are getting poached

[❤♔ღ☭MrLogicGuy™]

I only have 1 driver and 1 staff for next season and I am now in my last race and I cant sign anyone for next season because they are fine with everything except the time for contract proposal but then there is no follow up or reply after the 7 or 14 days of contract proposal

PLEASE FIX GAME BREAKING THIS

[❤♔ღ☭MrLogicGuy™]

So i reached the end of the season and I am BLOCKED from moving forward because im missing a driver from one of my cars and I cant even promote one of the junior drivers????
DID YOU GUYS EVEN TEST THE GAME BEFORE RELEASING IT TO THE PUBLIC WTF

Got the same issue with mine. They don’t like the immediate response time. Even offered 10mil and won’t accept.

I have a similar problem, whenever I want to hire someone or update his/her contract they make a counter offer and the I have to option to counter offer that one or cancel it completly. If I make a counter offer (even givin that person a 7-14 days to think) it start giving me daily reminder messages that I have to answer that person (Which I can't), and then it says that the limit to answer expired and the negociation finished.

They ask for 7-14 days yet nothing happens it has to be immediate but you have to SUPER overpay them in bonus salary and signing bonus
i just tried going back a few months and I signed a few staff but drivers still impossible unless you offer like 40 million a year which is wayyy over budget like negative per race

I can't believe the messed up with this, i have the same problem, the driver accepted a really good contract and i can't accept it

My staff are getting poached while under contract FOR LESS MONEY.

Hugh Bird is on 1.375M
Says he got a better offer from a WORSE team for 900k and he will stay if I can improve our offer.
WTF its already better!

I like the intention of giving the game more depth, but this is a buggy mess.

Gamebraking like the Setup reset if you simulate sessions

that isn't game breaking if you simulate a session your drivers+ staff change the setup during the weekend... that has ALWAYS been that way, if you want a specific setup don't sim

Going into 6 season......no contract issues at all, 1 driver and three staff were attempted poached....stayed. Hired associate driver. Hired free agent driver. Set ups work fine when I don't select sim. When asked to respond to counter offers bug...I wait a couple of game days and offer a contract and it works fine. Had a staff member accept an immediate response contract.

Half way through 6 season and expecting my third straight constructors/drivers championship......still need that elusive pit crew award.

BTW started custom team level 2 with all generated drivers/staff no higher than 75 rating, second driver was 63.

this happened to me aswell, what you have to do is sign a free agent and unfortunately you have to offer an absurd amount of money as you're forced to make the offer response set to immiedietly which lowers the chance of them accepting a lot, its annoying to sign someone but its possible

I had the exact same problem. I have to start all over again because I didn't make a backup save. Unfortunately, the hotfix won't be out until next week (according to Frontier), but I found someone who said to use the F1 Manager 23 Database Editor, and it works for 2024 as well. So I used the editor to fix my contract and continue the game. I can confirm it works. Seriously, WTF, I have to use a cheat to play the game normally? LMAO

what i dont understand is does nobody playtest anything? i mean this is standard stuff, trying to hire a driver. already lost piastri and norris for next season, cause i didnt know this bug existed. but it happened with my 2 current drivers as well which i cant renew contracts with. so im pretty pissed right now.

the game is on ice till the fix is out and then i hope that the ongoing negotiations with my drivers are fixed and i can at least keep my current lineup. otherwise i have to use the database editor to fix this broken mess.
