Info Required Formation lap BUGS/FEEDBACK MEGATHREAD (v1.0+)

Further information and reports are needed to assist development with a fix
Describe the problem: No cars on track during race. No formation lap cars during race start. Penalties resultant for those two conditions.
Attach video clip (LIVE GAMEPLAY) of the incident: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dWKC6iTwZ4eLhXmWRFC8ftVAr9iABhEq/view?usp=sharing
PC spec (if not in signature already): See signature
Trace file of the session (where to find it?): See Googledrive Link, both files included there.

Feedback:

I was in a race at Fuji a few minutes ago, and during the formation lap I saw all the cars disappear. I was subsequently penalized for a 'DT' for a car that was not in front of me to follow. The DT was for 'Out of Line'. The vehicle distance and line indicator was not working for me but I did see the warning messages. Also error messaged for latency issue for three of the drivers on track.

It also appeared that my car was not really connected to the track because my lap times got slower and slower. I was also cursed out by another driver because he thought I caused him to wreck. It was true but not true. His car appeared several times right next to mine and sometimes inside of my cars cockpit. I think he saw me, freaked out, and wrecked. You'll see I did the same thing with the wall when I saw the Vette blink into existence.

FYI, I have fiber optic internet.


Thanks in advance!

Not entirely sure this belongs here but whatever.

Single player race vs AI. No practice, no quali. GT3's and Hypercars, I'm at the back on Spa. We're all lined up at the wall ready for formation lap. It says "backspace to skip formation lap" like usual. I hit backspace, rather than it jumping to the end of the formation lap it starts the race right then and there, green flag, chaos. Half the AI's crashed into each other or walls, I cut through and come out in 7th or something insane.

Pretty weird. Haven't tried to repeat it, no idea if it happens every time.

Same thing happened to me at Imola with the LMP3 and GT3 after free practice and qualifying.

Same, it happened to me racing GT3's at COTA. When I pressed backspace to skip the formation lap the race immediately started right then and there. I and most AI cars were still in the pits and the race just started with the cars where they were.

Hope it's fixed soon. Don't remember experiencing this bug ever before the last update.
 
I find all the conflicting messages, especially during pit start, terrible, and the racing line and basically the whole begin to races to be some of the worst I've seen in racing games, like nootherr gameI'veve played have i notcied this.
 
I've gotten penalties several times because it jumps instantly from saying CATCH UP! to LIMIT 60 KP/H! And then you're speeding.
 
On several tracks, starting on P2 relegates you to almost P3 because at 60kph limit you need to cover more distance on the outside. For example at CotA.
In general, I find the starting procedure very poor since the HUD is constantly telling you to catch up, slow down, catch up. Something similar to ACC would be much better, even with ghosting for cars that don't manage to stay in their "box".
In Multiclass, the distance between classes is not big enough.
 
It's not a bug, it's a feature.
Unless the whole system is a bug.

What I meant to say: When can we hope to see an overhaul of this???
