Serious bug?: No XP or credit payouts

Just thinking aloud so to speak..

Could it be anything to do with 'damage'.. in FM3, you have to pay out at the end according to how much damage you get, if that was bugged, you'd end up with no net credits.

Simple test would be to turn damage off, and try it...

Pretty much clutching at straws, but I'm sat here waiting until Friday.. :)

That would be ALLOT of damage to take a players entire winnings with what I have seen. I wrecked pretty bad one time and still had a decent amount of winnings left over.

Just looking at all the things that contribute to the Credits, if there is a bug, it could go crazy miscalculate to infinity!!

Now that's what I call top notch support! You coming here and joining us is the best thing that could have happened to this site besides Jordan creating it.

Huge thanks to everyone that made this site possible.
 
Give it a try and report back with your results.

Didnt try 270 yet, because I tried something else first, and the results were interesting. I saw on the forza board someone said that starting the race w/ a controller, switching to the wheel after the race starts, and then switching back to a controller right before the race finishes was giving him credits.

I tried this out, and raced 11 races, got credit for every single one of them. One stint was 4 straight races, and another was 5 straight. If this is actually working, Im thinking it may be more dependent on starting the race w/ the controller, because there were a few times I crossed the line at the end and forgot to switch to the controller first, so I switched it as the continue screen was coming up, and still got credits.

I gotta eat some food, but afterwords Im gonna go back and try just starting a race w/ the controller, and finishing it w/ the wheel and see what kinda results I get.

It seems so freaking weird, but thats the longest ive gone since i started the game w/out getting a glitch. Maybe it was just luck, but I'll continue on w/ it and see if it keeps working.

And theres still people on the forza board saying that switching to 270 has been working for them. Dont know. I wanna this try controller swapping a little bit more before I give up my 900 degrees.

Nice work 👍
 
Interesting. Went back to testing the controller swap theory. I did 4 races with just starting the race w/ the controller, and then finishing it w/ the wheel. Got credit for all races. 3 of the races were right in a row.

BUT

Then I tried going back the normal way, doing everything w/ the wheel, not touching the controller at all, and I got thru a 5 race series w/ credits in every race. I dont know what that means. :lol:

Now im going to shut everything off, bring it all back up, and not touch the controller at all, and play it like I was last night, and see if I can replicate this no credit thing. Because now Im really starting to wonder, haha.
 
Alright. Well I shut everything off and started fresh. Didnt touch a thing, used the wheel the whole time. Did a 5 race series and got credits every time. SO, since I cant seem to get this glitch to replicate itself, I wouldnt put too much stock in the tests Ive been running because unless this problem shows itself again I can't say if they even did anything.

So I'll just keep playing like normal until it glitches again.
 
One last post for tonight. The glitch did show itself again, so I tried the controller thingy, and it was a no go. So scratch that method. As I figured I was just getting lucky earlier w/ the glitch not showing itself. I did make an observation tho that its primarily happening when I try to do F class races in a Toyota 2000GT. Ive done multiple F class events w/ it and get 0 credits on random races, but it seems every other class I ran today have had no problems.
 
I was having no problems until it popped up once (career races) then when I went online I could get a payout to save my life. I can EASILY say about 65 percent of my online races were zero payout. Fanatec Wheel user here.

I think Turn10 and Fanatec are gonna catch hell trying to find the root of this problem. It seems so random it's not even funny.

This happened to me for about 4 races (different tracks, different cars) in a row last night in World Tour. It didn't matter what car I used. Then I went to Rivals mode and did a couple of races and I started getting my credits again. Funny, it didn't happen once the first day and I probably did 10-12 races on release day.

Weird.
 
No wheel, not one problem here. Can you guys try using a different Xbox profile and see if it works with the controller, and then switch to the wheel and see what happens?
 
I've never had any issue with XP or getting paid no matter what I do, but it said I unlocked "Mr Apex" during a race and when I went to my titles list it wasn't unlocked. LIARS!!!! lol

Uh oh, I better go check my "Mr. Apex". I've stopped checking those things to be honest. It's like MW2, at first it's cool then after a while it's like eh.

Sounds like you're describing the actual MW2 game!
