Serious bug?: No XP or credit payouts

[12thgear]

I've just started playing tonight using my Fanatec GT2 wheel and it feels great. I'm having an issue though. I cranked up the difficulty settings and noticed I only received XP and credits after my first race. I subsequent races tally 0 rewards at the end.

Some people on the official forums say the bug may only manifest itself when using a wheel.

I did have an issue on Road Atlanta. I paused to turn off race music and when I unpaused, I had no force feedback. I power cycled the wheel and feedback returned, but then I noticed the reward issue. I'm going to restart my console and gather more data, but I thought I'd get the word out.

Yea, it appears to be a wheel issue. Pretty silly glitch to get through "testing" if you ask me.

Have you experienced it yourself? If so, have you identified any patterns to reproduce the issue?

 

[FyreandIce]

Haven't got the game yet so nope. When I do get it, I will be testing it with the MS FFB Wheel. Will let you know how it goes.

It happens to me after the race only when I save the race replay.

My experience so far:

-Race 1: Received full credits and XP. Did not watch the replay.

-Race 2: No credits nor XP. Paused to turn off music, lost FFB. Restarted wheel to fix FFB. Didn't watch replay.

-Race 3: No credits nor XP. Watched a portion of the replay.

-Races 4 and 5: After completely powering off and restarting the console and wheel, I chose two races from the Event List rather than World Tour. Once I again I got zilch.

This is incredibly frustrating. I'll have to shelve the game until a patch or workaround is provided. Does anyone know of any official channels to report bugs to MS or Turn 10?

Should get exp if you start playing with a controller. Pretty crappy work around but it's the best you got.

The guy streaming on ForzaPlanet also appears to be experiencing the same bug.

yeah me too, on a wheel as well.not a big problem though as online racing always pays out.

Especially if you're spanking the pad guys' lap times I imagine.

 

[JJ72]

lol yeah, making 30,000crs in one 5 lap race! And I think I gains another level in just 2 or 3 race usually.
