Codemasters are offering a workaround until they patch this issue. The corruption triggers when returning to the paddock after certain conditions.
The ”potential workaround” is to load in qualifying sessions before attempting to exit the game. The developer offers what they believe are the lone triggers to this corruption.
We believe this only occurs if, after completing an R&D objective, you…
-
Retire to the paddock via the Engineer (in the garage).
-
Terminally damage your car and select retire to paddock.
-
Get disqualified and select retire to paddock.
”As long as you progress to the qualifying session before quitting the game this problem will not occur,” they added. This is quite the horrible bug. F1 2010 managed to topple Halo: Reach in the UK all formats chart last week.
