I think I found a bug...
If you finish a race, then check the replay, and exit from the replay to the race result screen, the podium is composed by the first 3 cars in the replay at the time you exited it. It also gets the fastest lap wrong. Did someone experienced that?

I've experienced something similar. If I'm in career mode, I'm very careful with exiting. I don't even watch replays in career mode any more. I once pulled into the pits on the cool down lap and it gave me seventh place instead of a win. I've actually put the game on the shelf until the next patch is released. I'm ready for the improved version.

I’ve noticd this pcars2 bug in the pc version with a three monitor setup. During night races the left and right screens flikkers. Both screens light up constantly with black flashes. I thought it was just me and i didnt race that much night races. But lately it gets more and more online. I tried to find answers within windows 10 and the pcars community. Nothing. Only spoke with others with the same probs. Cant find a solution.
Think its a bug

Your game actually recorded the finish order shown on the replay podium? I commonly see the bug @Nando deBem described but it has only ever been a visual thing, not affecting the actual results.
I've also shelved my career mode and the game until version 3.0, hoping that it will fix the time warp problem on a few of the tracks and improve the AI balancing. I've got the tier one rallycross championship next, and it would be nice to race Lydden Hill without the warp.

I don’t know if it was only visual. I think I lost the fastest lap point because of that.

When I am doing Endurance races offline against the AI I have cone across a REALLY ANNOYING bug.
Doing a 24hours of Daytona in the Ferrari F40 LM multiclass race of PS4.
When my AI driver takes over from me and does his stint he then pits for me to get back in the car. This is all ok until I leave the pits with major suspension damage forcing me to pit again immediately loosing a ton of time whilst they repair the damage.
Dosent happen with no driver change....

What do you have set up in your pit strategy? How long was the pit stop? Was it just a driver swap or a full pit stop?

Hi,
It was a full pit stop. Full fuel and tyres, repair damage and a drivet change. Its only whrn going back from the AI to myself when it happens.
I seem to have found a work around. I leave the AI in control until they actually leave pit lane THEN change the swap driver option to ON. This way you take control half way round the lap and have no suspension damage appear!!

I could reproduce this several times at the weekend, so gave up but setting the FOV to 58 in the in-cockpit (Not in-helmet) view would crash every singe time.
I was the the Porsche Cayman and not happy with my camera, so kept trying to change it but got several crashes. Oddly, setting it to 60 was fine, so it must be that number!

Hi Guys
I have a couple of issues with Project Cars 2 and I would like to hear if any of you have experienced the same things as I do.
I have a multi PC setup, so 2 computers with PC2. One computer has a Logitech GT Driving Force wheel and the other computer the Logitech G25 wheel.
So every time I start up PC2, I need to reassign the pedals on both setups and calibrate them, before they work!!!! I have update drivers for both wheels and I have also tried many times to delete the PC2 folder in documents. But still the same issue every time I start up PC2. Have any of you the same experience and have a fix for it? There are no problems in PC1.
That is one thing.
The next thing is also wheel related I think.
After some time playing, the menus start flickering, as if the wheel was turned to one side. Especially in the car setup screen and car selection screen. It is impossible to select a new car, so I have to recalibrate my wheel every time I need to select another car. It is the same on both computers and it won´t stop even if the wheel is dead center.
The 3 thing is the tire smoke. I thought that this was fixed in patch 3.0. I drove with the Acura NSX GT3 on Monza and in every corner, when you looked in the rearview mirror, it looked like a drift car with all that tire smoke. But the car drives fine with no oversteer.
And finally also seen on Monza, some of the other GT3 cars was elevated from the track, what seems to be 20-30 centimeters, when they drove around.
So just a couple of issues that I hope can be fixed. Because PC2 truly is a great game.

Hi guys,
I need a little help here. Yesterday I was doing an online race. It had mandatory pits. As it was pretty close between first and second, before entering the pits I manually configured the pit to not fix damage, don't change tyres and don't put extra fuel.
I entered the pits, everything went well. It was fairly quick. However, when the car left the pits, I couldn't drive it. It was stuck into auto driving mode, with the computer driving it (very slowly I might add).
Is this a bug or did I do something to cause it (which I don't know what I might have done, but in the heat of the moment I may have pressed some button?!)?

Photo mode PS4 Pro (after patch 3.01)
Just a quick note as I have found after the new patch when you watch a replay and go in to the photo mode it has the new setting at the bottom for speed -+10 but the car is never focused on auto focus or manual focus even on 0 and always slightly blurred and the background still after reducing the shutter speed to 30/s.
If you go in to 'Photo mode' direct from game play then the car is focused better and the background blurred (how it should be) but none of the filters work at all in this mode.
Can anyone else confirm this or could it just be my PS4!
EDIT: I also have been crashed out the whole game 6 times+ when just about to take a good photo in photo mode! or in a custom race with the CE_Error code! I really can't use it like this if it keeps crashing on me.

So I am unsure if this is an actual bug or an intended action by the game. I do know it has been around since at least PS4 Patch 2.0 and it is still in the 3.0 version. I set a race for more than 250 laps like so...
And as a result I get the length set to 250 laps like this...
And there is no way to fix it that I have seen either. Such a shame since I am part of the userbase (I would think I wouldn't be alone in this. Could be wrong though) that wants to run more than 250 laps on some tracks.

PS4 Pro, version 3.0.1
Full Screenshot
I encounter these lines of artefacts on the right and bottom edge of the screen that seem to falsely display visual information from another part of the screen.
Close-Up
These are most obvious/disturbing in cockpit view. Since they appear on the right and bottom side, I have a hinch it has something to do with dynamic resolution switching. They get worse as soon as motion blur is involved.
You can actually observe these artifacts in motion by watching this video from popular YouTuber @Scaff:
