Qualifying Bug - Can't Fix It

[Fogey Gamer]

Two races in a row now. When I click on "send out", the button goes blank and nothing happens. i can't even see the car in the garage. I have tried the suggestion of raising the fuel and then lowering it again, but that doesn't work.Not much reason to play when this bug exists!

EDIT: After doing some reading, it turns out that once one of your drivers has had a pit lane start, the bug will kick in and mean you can't qualify with that car. How does this not get found out in testing and how has a hot fix not been released??

EDIT 2: Ok. I tried to just simulate the session. Both cars did qualify, but were eliminated in Q1. However, car 1 got a 3 grid position penalty, and then car 2 will start from pit lane due to changes made before Q2?? What is going on.

Same here .... what a mess!!!!!

+1, and let me be crystal clear.
It looks like 100% of time, when you pit lane start, then the driver is bugged, at least, for the entire season. Neither simulating or playing the qualy, let the driver do a qualy lap.
I mean, honestly, it's hard to understand how they did not cancel the contract before... it's quite clear there is no one testing but the end-user.

This might NOT be the case for all players !!!
3 races ago i had a pit lane start and the following qualifies and races are just as usual normal.
I can play the normaly qualy and race after the pit lane start in all followed races.
Just adding that i NEVER simulate any of the sessions so i can't speak for simulated sessions, qualifies or races.

You are breaking parc ferme rules and getting penalised for it. You cannot change the car after the start of Q1. Doing so disqualifies you from proceeding to the next round. You have to wait it out or simulate.

No Problem here, just player not understanding rules. Move on.

[Fogey Gamer]

No. Parc ferme rules are very easy to understand. It wasn't that. That was not what was happening. Anyway, as the patch notes have said the issue has been fixed. Thankfully Frontier understood what was wrong and they didn't just "move on"...lol

Is the 'send out' button grey?
If so, would you turn off cooldown run option in fuel menu?

It worked in F1 Manager 2023.

Answering generally as i don't know exactly what your issue is, outside of what you have outlined, but i mean generally...

The reason for this is, because we the players are the testers,, didn't you know ?, Sad and imho somewhat of a disrespect, but it's kind of protocol these days , player base does the testing, that way dev doesn't need to pour time and money to do it themselves, that will be why..p...
