IF I enter the pause menu (e.g. to use instant replay) after a crash or any off-road incident etc. the controller will continue to vibrate indefinitely until such time as I rejoin the race. If I have a big crash, that means the crontroller might be vibrating very intensely, for an indefinite period of time. If I decide to browse the internet before i go back to the race for example, the controller will just continue vibrating until I go back to the game.

Can't join 5 lap ranked - Error Code NM14
Hello,
I am having an issue with game played on PC/Steam, version 1.14.
I can not seem to join 5 laps ranked for 3 days already, which is when I've bought the game (it works fine in 25%). When searching for a session, one is located pretty fast, then i can not join the session with information 'session no longer exists'. Subsequent attempts will show the error on race length screen, which states "Error Code NM14"
I have fairly quick internet connection that does not show any issues in other online games (speedtest from this moment, when 5 laps ranked isn't working is ~760/630 Mbps):
![]( "Image: http://www.speedtest.net/result/7773153974.png")
I can not find any information regarding this error code. Could someone from Codemasters team chime in and help me understand what may be happening? Seeing as 25% length races work fine I am uncertain if this is issue on my ISP side and if it is, any information I can relay to them is very welcome. I am fairly technical so I can provide more details which would help troubleshooting if instructed.
As the only reason for which I've bought f1 2018 is to play ranked online, so current situation is heavily affecting my ability to enjoy the product.
Your assistance is very appreciated,
Kind regards![:)]( ":)")

[PC][1.14] List of bugs and glitches, currently in the game,my experience (SC, speed in pits,..)
This is a list of bugs and glitches in no particular order. These are bugs that are rather small, but need some exposure, so that they get removed from this game, or at least aren't present in the next game. Nearly all bugs include a videoclip or screenshot:
![image]()
![image]()
![image]()
As you can see, it happens at different part of the track and with one main condition: you didn't yet get the message to stay behind the safety car. I also don't think you need to be in first place to do this. If the message is "catch the SC-queue" you can overtake people and the SC when you are of the track as long as you didn't get the message yet to stay behind "X".
This bug was also present on previous F1 games, even in F1 2013/14. I noticed this mainly in Monaco then, where you just could skip la nouvelle chicane.
![image]()
I tried a whole lot of approaches to the pit lane because for some reason I got a speeding penalty, but I noticed and was quite sure that I didn't go too fast. So I tried a whole lot of approaches as you can see. I found out, this happens in France when you are very close to the speed limit, f.e. 58 kph or when you have pressed the limiter button and are giving full throttle and you are entering the pit in the very left. It was always a problem in France, is now mainly fixed but not yet fully.
Race settings are visible at 1:45
![image]()
You can see that I never hit the power limit of my graphics card or anything. No thermal throttling or memory issue either.
This is the video of the first few laps of a race:
Same session, same settings.
![image]()
I do notice the CPU-usage peaking out a little bit, but I thinks this is more caused by the game frame stalling rather than causing the game to frame stall.
Some more little things, probably already mentioned:
- Overtaking the safety car when you are in first place and coming up to the SC for the first time:

[PC] Tips for Diagnosing Frame Stalls During Races
Due to numerous reports of stuttering during races from PC users, we’ve collated some of the various tips from the community to help troubleshoot the issue and work out where the problem lies. If you can’t find a solution from the list below, then please provide us with as much info as you can and we’ll see if we can offer anymore help. Remember to post your basic system specs and send through your dxdiag and hardware_settings file to us to help us build up a picture of what is happening. If we can identify specific issues then we will likely split these off into separate threads to focus on that issue.
For anyone experiencing stuttering in the front end, replays or online sessions only, please search our technical support forum for previous reports of the issue and post a new issue if needed. All information on posting new issues, or providing additional information to help track down issues can be found here.
Confirm when the issue occurs
If the problem you have always occurs at a certain section of track, or when a specific thing happens in the game then this should be logged as a new support thread, with as much information provided as possible so that we can replicate the problem in our test lab. If the issue occurs all of the time, or at random points during play then please work through the suggestions below and see if these help to locate the source of the problem.
Check the PC minimum specifications
The intention of the PC minimum specifications is to provide gameplay greater than 30fps on the lowest graphical settings under normal Windows conditions. If your hardware fails to meet these minimum specifications then there is a chance that you will experience performance issues when playing the game. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer additional support for players whose PC’s do not meet the minimum requirements The minimum PC specifications can be found here.
Update your drivers
Please ensure that all key system drivers are up-to-date, including your graphics card and sound card drivers. This is the most common source of issues, so please double-check these. We would recommend doing a clean install of the graphics drivers – check NVidia and AMD websites for details on how to do this.
Validate your Steam Files
Our next most common cause of this issue is with the Steam cache becoming corrupt, particularly after a patch. Please validate your Steam files and see if this helps with your issue.
Lower your graphics settings
Various issues can be caused by having the graphics settings set incorrectly. This can either be that the settings are too high generally and your system can’t cope with them, or there are specific settings are not playing well with your system. Try lowering your graphics settings to the minimum settings and see if this has any affect on the frame drops that you are seeing. If the problem is no longer seen at this setting, then try increasing the settings one-by-one until you find a good balance of quality vs. performance, or until you identify a specific setting that is causing problems. If there is a specific setting causing an issue then please let us know which this is in the thread below and be sure to tell us your system specs too. It may be necessary to send through your dxdiag and hardware settings to allow us to investigate this further - see instructions on how to do this here.
Increase your graphics settings
It sounds counter-intuitive, but sometimes raising the graphics settings can shift the bottleneck on your system which could be the cause of the stalls you are seeing. Try increasing the gfx settings or resolution. It will likely result in a lower frame rate, but may alleviate stalls.
Try Fullscreen and Windowed Mode
There have been reports of frame rate being better / worse in either fullscreen or windowed mode. To see if this has an effect on your experience, please try adjusting the Display setting in the Graphics -> Video Mode menu to “Fullscreen” and running the game for a while, and then set this to “Windowed” mode and run the game for a while and see if this has any effect on the frame stall issue. You may also want to try “Windowed (fullscreen)” mode too. If you notice any significant change in the frame stall problem using the different modes then please let us know.
Enable / Disable Game DVR
Game DVR comes with Windows 10 and there have been anecdotal reports of it both improving stuttering, and also of it being the cause of stuttering. To open the Game DVR menu press WindowsKey + G when the game is running. Scroll to the Game Mode setting to the right and change the setting to see if this makes a difference to the frame stalls. It is expected that enabling Game Mode will improve performance on lower-end PCs, or those with lots of other programs running in the background, but it may end up exacerbating stalls due to excessive load on the system.
Disable Trigger Rumble on Wireless Xbox One Controller
There have been reports of micro stutters caused by using a wireless Xbox One controller with the trigger rumble feature enabled. Try disabling this and see if the issue goes away. To do this, enter the Options menu and select Settings -> Controls, Vibrations & Force Feeback -> Trigger Rumble and set this option to “Off”.
Disable conflicting software
Some third-party software has been known to conflict with the game when running at the same time. This may include performance and profiling software, streaming software and video capture applications. Please try running the game with these disabled to see if this affects the issue that you are having. If you notice any specific software conflicts then please let us know the details in the thread below and we will investigate further.
Disable conflicting hardware
Some peripherals have been known to cause some conflicts with the game in the past. To ensure that this isn’t the case for you, please disconnect any non-essential hardware from your PC (e.g. just keep mouse, keyboard and monitor connected) and run the game again to see if that makes a difference. If so, then add your other devices back in one at a time and let us know which one is causing the issue to occur.
Stop Windows Update
There have been reports of Windows Updates starting in the background while the game is running. This can affect the performance of the CPU and your disk access times which can result in stuttering. If you notice that this is running when you are seeing frame stalls then either wait and let your Windows Updates complete before resuming play, or stop the Windows Updates manually and see if this resolves the issue.
Limit the frame rate
Capping the framerate may give the PC a little extra headroom to cope with the demand thrown at it, or for moments where the hardware is struggling to feed the graphics card sufficiently. AMD CATALYST drivers have support in the FRTC utility to limit frame rate. For NVidia, there are a range of third-party apps that offer this functionality. Configure the necessary program to cap the frame rate to a lower value than your system would normally handle at the current graphics settings and then check if this affects the frame stall issue.
If this resolves the frame stalls then you may want to determine if a specific hardware problem is causing this issue. This is generally beyond the scope of our own forums, but this set of steps may allow a user to identify if specific issues with the graphics card or power supply are at play here:
- Install GPU-Z or similar GPU profiler
- Run the game with the normal settings that produce the stutter
- When you notice a stutter, check the logs in the GPU profiler to confirm what error is given. GPU-Z will state in the PerfCap row the reason for performance drops.
Disable texture
streaming
Some stuttering was known to be caused by texture streaming, where the game is struggling to bring in the required textures quickly enough. This issue is more prevalent when the game is installed on mechanical drives. Recent fixes (v1.07) should have resolved most texture streaming problems, but you can double-check whether texture streaming is affecting this issue for you by manually disabling texture streaming using the following steps:
- Browse to "...\Documents\My Games\<game_folder>\hardwaresettings\"
- Locate the file "hardware_settings_config.xml" and open with any text editor
- Locate the lines to do with texture streaming and edit it so that it reads as follows:
<texture_streaming sizeInMiB="0" />
Test Gysnc and Freesync
Some instances of stuttering and frame drop may be the result of certain monitor configurations. If both your graphics card and monitor are compatible with either Gysnc or Freesync then try the following:
If your GPU and monitor are capable of G-Sync try turning it on by accessing “Set up G-Sync” in the Nvidia control panel, select enable G-Sync, and click apply
- (https://www.geforce.co.uk/whats-new/articles/g-sync-gets-even-better)
- On some monitors you may also need to activate the option for G-Sync in your Monitor’s OSD.
- If you are already using G-Sync and experiencing stutters try running F1 2018 with G-Sync turned off instead.
If your GPU and monitor are capable of FreeSync try turning it on by opening the Radeon Settings app from your desktop, selecting “Display”, ensuring the “AMD FreeSync” option is set to “ON”, and closing Radeon Settings.
- (https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/dh-013)
- On some monitors you may also need to activate the option for FreeSync in your Monitor’s OSD.
- If you are already using FreeSync and experiencing stutters try running F1 2018 with FreeSync turned off instead.
Please note some users recommend capping the frame rate just under your gsync/freesync rate to improve input lag whilst benefitting from the improved update rate.

AI Limping around for a couple laps......
Patch 1.12
PS4
Career
Canada Race
AI Difficulty 98
So a Torro Rosso limps around for a couple laps with either mechanical failure or puncture. I'm racing around and about 4 retirements are announced one after another.
I viewed race replay at end as there was lots of debris at final chicane. Basically a Merc was attempting to overtake a Red Bull down the back straight when it smashed straight in to the back of the Toro Rosso, both cars spread out across the track - a McLaren and Force India also drive straight in to the wreckage. A Renault and 2nd Force India make slight contact but get away with minor damage.
So Toro Rosso, Merc, McLaren & Force India are retired. Was this not fixed in previous patch?

Strict penalties totally broken
This
is a big problem for the online leagues, I participate in two and we
had to suspend them temporarily due to this serious problem.
Platform: PS4
Modality: Online with classification. (it is valid for any modality and any circuit)
Norms: Strict.
Verssion: 1.12
The game gives warnings but does not sanction the third warning as it happened before patch 1.10. As you can see in the video when the race finishes, I do not have sanctions but I have 21 warnings. This is a test I did this morning. As you will understand right now you can not run races online because people skip the corners without being penalized. This is a very serious problem that must be fixed urgently.

Strange wheel behaviour

Game Version 1.12
T300RS with Ferrari F1
Unranked lobby - invite only: Race
Right after the start coming to T1 the wheel just became 'unresponsive' i didn't know what is going on but i realized
that i have to turn the wheel 180 degrees to achieve 90 in the game. I had to turn off and on the wheel that it started to operate
as it should. Maybe it helps to note that I was DSQed on the formation lap for no reason.

Game crashes when continuing career mode [Xbox][Career]
So I put more than 15 hours in the game and now I am in Britain.
I made a mid session save, and wanted to retry the practice programme (which is bugged since game launch but I forgot it, and thought that it would work if it is in a finished released game), and as always it crashed me to the homescreen.
since this, everytime I want to continue my career, the game crashes to the homescreen. It starts loading, I can use the options menu, and the pictures of the track appear. Then the screen goes blank with the “Loading” sign in the corner, and exits.
xbox one x, the latest game version. I can do everything else in the game besides this.
If I have to start my career again from the beginning, I will not buy any of your games ever, that is for sure, my time is more
precious for me than that.
the funny thing is that I found a thread about this exact same issue for last year’s game!!! I seriously cannot beleive that you didnt patch this since that...
I restarted my xbox several times, uninstalled then reinstalled the game, uninstalled then reinstalled my saved games, and the game version is 1.07.

When will the famous "D3D has been removed" error finally be resolved?
Because F1 2016 constantly crashed with the "D3D has been removed..." error I recently decided to buy F1 2018 hoping that that bug would have been resolved in the meantime. However, that problem still exists in F1 2018 making the game unplayable on my PC.
My PC configuration is as follows:
* Asus ROG Strix Z370-F Gaming motherboard
* Intel Core i7 8086K 4Ghz Turbo 5Ghz
* 32 GB Corsair VENGEANCE RGB DDR4 3000 MHz (2 x 8 GB)
* Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Aorus Xtreme Edition (11GB)
* 1TB Samsung 970 EVO M.2 PCIe NVMe
The PC runs rock-solid with any other program and very heavy workload like flight simulators. All components run on standard manufacturer specs (no overclocking).
After searching the web I already tried the following suggestions:
* Lowering all Graphics settings and texture detail settings
* Adding the -dxlevel 81 parameter to the program
* Adding the -safemode parameter
* Removing and re-installing GPU drivers
* re-installing DX drivers
None of the above suggestions could prevent the error.
Are there any solutions to this nasty bug?

Small but annoying bug when driving out of the box. (Multiplayer)
I'm playing on Xbox one and I don't know if this bug is on other platform. This problem occures in quali and surely in practise sessions(but I have not tested it) while playing Multiplayer. When driver nr.1(the car earlier in the box) presses the button to drive out of the box the animation starts. While this animation plays and driver nr.2 decides to drive out, because of that driver nr.1 needs to wait till the animation of driver nr.2 ends, and they will drive out at the same time. This bug is not impacting the game, but it's annoying when you have to wait extra 10 seconds.
Look at the Ferrari box at 2:20 :![image]()
And a really small extra if you are reading this @Faya : On Xbox, the rims of the front tyres of the Ferrari are despawning a bit too early, which doesn't look very good while spectating and it's also a bit distracting while driving. (online and offline) (it's in the same video at 42:34 for example)

Leo bodner Logitech pedals
Hi all, I have recently upgraded my setup. I previously had a Logitech g920 and everything worked perfectly. I've just upgraded to a thrustmaster t500rs and a Logitech g25 pedal set with a load cell and a leo bodnar usb adapter. F1 2018 recognises the steering wheel but not the pedals. Does anyone have a similar setup that they have working? Everything is recognised in Windows and the setup works perfectly in other games. Many thanks for your help in advanced
