I've just tried to restart a race on Tsukuba 9 hours 3 times, and every time, the car flies off the pitlane and ends up driving itself after trying to go through the barrier. I am 2 hours 45 minutes in, and once the car is going around the track, it never pits and posts laptimes about 17-20 seconds slower than mine.

I resumed it once before and it was fine, so i think its cause i clicked suspend BEFORE the car was fully in the pit.

Moral of the story: do not suspend before the car is inside the pit barrier of Tsukuba, the car will miss the pits, and be out of your control.

This needs a hotfix!
 
This is happening to a lot of people. A common problem. It gets me wondering.....
 
Its not really something they would catch before the update launched. I am wondering if its only Tsukuba, or other maps too. I just lost my 4 lap lead, still watching it go around... getting 1:15-1:17s ...

I hope they fix it soon. Gladly I have my drift team account I can work on while I hope a hotfix comes in the next few days >_<

PD certainly isn't lazy though, they certainly have been working hard for this update, and as someone who has done software development, I know you can't catch everything that might go wrong.
 
I just did this race in a Caterham and saved it numerous times and never once had this problem. I did notice that no matter what point you save it the game always resumes at the same point so I can't see it making any difference when you press suspend race
 
On Tsukuba enter the pits completely (the camera changes to a position on the pit wall) and than it works fine.
 
The thing is, I suspended at 1hour 40 minutes, and 2 hours 40 minutes. the first suspend was fine, I had stopped to eat and do some work, resumed for an hour, then today picked it up again, and it flew off the pit entry lane. It worked once, but not the second time.

4 lap lead? For what do you play it? hotlapping? 9 hrs hotlapping must be boring... Why dont you choose an car that is a bit underpowered and have a bit a challenge with the AI??

Don't tell people how to play the game, anyone can play offline however they want to. The OP is sharing concerns about in-race saves, not a lesson on which car to pick for a race.
 
It was an R33 GT-R with comparable PP running racing hards, tbh i expected it to be much more of a showdown between me n that S2000 GT1, cause the R33 is stock weight. Didn't expect to have a 4 lap lead after 2 and a half hours either. The AI just can't brake, they're way too conservative.

Seems the AI fix hasn't worked all that well? Or was it just for arcade mode?

lol ... what AI fix ... they seem exactly the same, the s2000 GT1 was getting about 57sec at best, but you could tell that when no one is around it it got much slower times, and i was putting him back about 5 seconds per lap running 58 seconds, just like the racers in the B-spec endurances, they cool right down and will do much slower even on fresh tires when no one is near.

Fair point, well put.👍
 
The AI fix seems in place for me!


Anyways, yeah, it looks like it's only this circuit. Working fine for me at the Nurb. :D

What the hell is up with you? It was only a question why... With your 15 years, you are a bit too respectless... And he answered it very well and now I know why he had a 4 lap lead 👍

Same happened to me, would not have minded it auto-driving the rest of the race if only it had enough fuel...
Two hours of my life wasted. :grumpy:
 
I entered the pits at 40 mph on the back straight, waited till the car was about to stop in the pit lane and it still glitched. I think it's just random. Two hours of my life wasted :grumpy:
 
I just did the Suzuka 1000km and I had no problem when I stopped at mid race yesterday.
I suspended the race when my car was about to stop next to the pit crew.
I also had made all my choices regarding tyres and fuel. Just in case...
 
Well that just plain sucks. I was 5 and a 1/2 hours into the 9hrs Tsukuba when I loaded my last suspend, and off the car goes on it's own. It did make an attempt to enter the pits by driving through the pit wall, but after that just kept going. Hopefully this gets fixed sooner rather than later.
 
I'm a new member that came across this post hoping for an answer and it seems everyone is having this problem. One solution I found so far is that if you pause the game immediately upon returning form the suspended load sequence, you can override the pit stop screen. The plus is that you get control of your car, the downside is that if you actually need to pit then you have to drive back to the pit area but I can live with that because I'm laps ahead of the competition anyways, if it was a closer race it wouldn't work. I've tried it twice successfully.
 
Or just stay up till 4am & do 9 hrs straight. To be honest im still tired now. Stupid girlfriend coming round at 1.30 last night & keeping me up till 3.30 & then waking me up at 6.30 bless her
 
"if you pause the game immediately upon returning form the suspended load sequence, you can override the pit stop screen".
I can't do it so if you can explain how to do it would be very useful.
I had the same problem. After many attemps, i came up with a solution. If you turn the wheel to the right just after the resume (you have less than a second in control), the car will crash unto the right wall and (if you are lucky) the car will straighten up till the pit lane. This happened to me at least two times. But it worked...
 
I had the same problem but with the 4 hour miata endurance. Oh well i'll just leave the endurances all together now then.

Sure. What I did everytime was the following. Come around to the beginning of pit row right at that straightaway before your car starts to turn too much. I would come in as slow as possible because somehow during this I managed to drive straight through the pit if I came in too fast. Around 40-50mph does it. Then do not make any selections for the tires or gas, just select suspend.

Then upon the resume load I would just press start until it gave me the pause screen. Two times I came in slow enough that I gained control of my car when doing this and avoided the pit. The third time it drove me straight through the pit without stopping and glitched through the pit stop. Unfortunately that was a time that I really needed a pit, but it worked out in the end. Finished that race and can put it behind me.
 
My game ATTEMPTED it and then the car spun off into the sand, giving me control back! Lucky or what! :D
 
I tried the suspend a few times, once out of maybe 4 tries, I got it to resume. Each about 2 hours into the race. I ended up doing the 9 hours straight, only way here unless you don't mind pausing for long periods of time. I tried the 24hours race on sarthe and it seems to be working fine there. This will probably be patched soon.

Well the difference with Sarthe (and 24h Nurburgring as well) is that where the resume happens, the car is locked onto pit road by a wall. With Tsukuba, it has an access road that it can easily overdrive and miss.
