Hello

We had on our last Race in Silverstone one Problem.
The Race-Start was dry. After 3 Laps it began to rain. I was on the first place, after i did 3 Laps later my Pit-Stop to change to intermediates.
I believed it, i had the right tires for this Stint. But my Laptimes was realy bad but i thought it was becaue of my Setup(it was for dry weather). After this stint i was 19.
After 11 Laps the rain was so much that we needed Full Wets. And then worked it better. After this stint i drove from 19 on the 8 Place. I asked me about the Pace from this stint. I did after the Race an investigation and saw the error after my first stop. I had the "Soft Tire" after my first Stop but i am 200% sure i had the intermediates select for ths Stop. But these errors had another few  guys of our league too, in this Race. From first side, i was realy unhappy about this bug because i had won the race. But from the other side, I am happy that i finished to the 5th Place.
Has anyone the same experience and is this a realy bug?
And what can i do that i have not the same issue for the further races?


Regards
Julian

This is a very common bug for us free users and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it at this stage. I'm still awaiting word from the moderators - This bug has been reported for months but unless I'm missing their responses, I haven't yet seen one response from the mods/devs about fixing it. It would be nice to know if this is being cured in the next update. Free users are basically screwed if you want to change tyres "on the fly" different to your advanced strategy.

That is odd then. The dev's should be able to tell you what tyre you selected I think.

As far as I know, no 2D users have any problems with choosing tyres if you manually pit your drivers.

As long as you selected the tyre in the individual stints drop down menu and NOT in the "unscheduled stop" part, it should have fit the correct tyre.

If you selected the tyre in the unscheduled stop then you have to make sure you manually press the "pit" button and un-tick your "follow weather strategy" box. If the box turns green by itself you need to unselect it, and then reselect it manually in order for it to select the right tyre you asked it to fit. If the button was already green and then you selected your tyres after that, it won't fit the tyres you asked it too. You need to make sure you choose the tyres before the button turns green.

Sorry if this sounds messy, it's kind of hard to explain. I hope this makes some sense.

I dont use the Weather-Strategy because i see the races live on 2D.
I use you Tipp later for the next rain race XD. But i know that i had set the tire (intermediates) and then pushed the pit button

Hmmm if you pushed the pit button yourself then it should have been fine.. This is the first I have heard of 2D selecting the wrong tyres... as far as I know any way.

Hopefully a dev can explain a little furthur.

I use 2D and have this happening every changeable conditoned race, it usually takes me 2 pit stops to get the right tyres that i selected each time, started wet, stopped raining selected Hards in proper stratagy & unsecdualled stop as well just to make sure i got them = fitted wets, in next lap i do the same and this time i get hards.
Later in the race starts rainging again, in for inters doing same thing except i try selecting unsedualled stop this time and = i get Softs, in next lap do exactly same thing = this time i get my inters.
This is usual, ive learnt its best to stay on what eva tyre u r on untill your proper stop happens and change tyres then unless its better to lose the 40+ secs for changing twice.

If you start altering the tyre choice yourself you must untick the "follow weather strategy" box, otherwise it will fit the tyres that your advanced strat has said for the amount of laps you've told it to.

thank you Atom

This seems to be  common error with this type of problem.  A lot of the players don't realise they have to untick the 'follow weather strategy' button (I think leaving this button ticked will override all other instructions) and they then report the 'incident' as a bug when it is not.

All this, of course, has to be done before a certain point in the lap, or it will be too late, and the race (tyre changes, fuel etc) proceeds as it has originally been set up.  Some players then panic by ticking unticking everything in sight - thereby really messing things up as the game will work though each and every 'instruction' that was given.
