Engine Won't Start

[Andy T]

Just sat here in Qualifying 2 in the RSR, engine will not start.

Tried changing from automatic to manual engine start, no difference.

Any ideas?

Oh I'm sorry. I never tried it in the release version. You weren't able to in the early access version, just like AC. Good to know, thanks. Hehe.

PS. I meant 'controls' earlier. Don't know why I said 'options'. Nice that it works now anyway.

JFC, are you kidding me? Nine months in Early Access and a day one bug is the car won't start.

The car won't start. In a race sim.

Well done, Kunos. Well done.

It's not really that the car won't start. It just changes ignition and starter settings from automatic to manual in Q2. That's what people are having problems with. You can just start it manually instead. Just tricky for some to find out since they know they set it to auto.

That isn't everyones case, I've always used manual start and it happened. Pedals wouldn't even register. Restarting session a few times till it worked is what got me through it.

I wish it had an RSR but nope

Same here in career every time I pit it happens I'm pressing starter and throttle but it just want start you can hear the starter turning over but just doesn't fire up.

No worries. So yeah, I've got manual start+ignition. Activate ignition in Q2, and I can hear the electronics boot up in the car. Press and hold starter. Engine cranks but doesn't fire. Also tried auto start. Same problem.

9 months in Early Access. Unreal...

Oh yeah. That happened to me too that part. I can see the throttle bar move but engine won't fire as you say. I noticed when I restarted and did it quicker it worked, at least for me. It was like I took too long to get the engine going. Could try doing it instantly when you get there. It's not like you need to be super fast. Just don't let it hang for long. Worth a shot at least.

I think I'll uninstall this beta garbage and try again when it's been patched half a dozen times. Or I could take $25, throw it out the window, and play RaceRoom.

Same thing happened to me.

Starter keeps spinning but engine wont start. Manual controls.Happens also sometimes in race after gaining control after pit stop.

[jakerock]

I'm having the same problem... Car dies and or won't start in pits. set to manual start, accelerator pedal registers onscreen, starter turns over, no start! Yes, tried hitting ignition button as well
