Well, codies forum has reports of a horrid pit stop bug. Not sure of the complete details, but it seems that when you pit, they hold you until the last car passes, basically putting you out in last place. Might be related to race length.

Also, seeing reports of terrible frame drops and stuttering...on the Xbox no less. grrr...

I'd like to know this too. Would be a big help if one likes to do 100% races.

^^ I fear not....you could save between sessions only.

That pit "bug" happened to me, but it's fair enough that your team can't release you into traffic in the pit lane. Can't this easily be avoided by pitting the lap before or after most other drivers?

I just did 100% race at Monza, and I even waited to quit, until after I pitted. When I restarted the race, it still had the race there to choose from, but it was back at restarting the whole thing again.

It may be different in Career mode, but in Grand Prix mode(exhb) you can only save between sessions! I was hoping it would have been like Indycar 2005 where it would resume after the very last pit stop........

I think it's more than that. It seems to be happening when there isn't any traffic. Either way, making you sit in your pit stall until everyone else pits is a bad oversight. Since pit stops are automated (bad also IMO not to give you the option to control your car) there shouldn't be any problem finding a slot to get you out.

I'm really frustrated the N. American release date for this game was 22 Sep but I can't find this game anywhere. I pre-ordered at Gamespot and they have changed their in store date from Wed to possibly Friday (the day I go back to work ). Now I'm reading everywhere about the pit bug in the game. I'm to the point now where I'm just gonna pick up my Fifa 11 next week and forget about this game, at least until word of a patch comes out.

Let's hope thay have a patch for this pit stop bug or it's pretty much a game killer. The fact there was no demo doesn't guarantee that there will be a patch. Has Codemasters issued patches for thier past games?

I just don't get it. How do you not find a glaring bug this big in testing. The quality control issue with games has become so bad that they can't find a bug that would be obvious about an hour into playing career mode.

It seems they spent countless hours putting all these features in and mere minutes to see if it works properly. If they missed a bug this big then who knows what other bugs are lurking as you get deeper into the game.

This game is a definate pass until a patch comes thru and hopefully it doesn't take months. Glad I didn't pre-order. For a F1 driving experience I'll stick with F1CE from Sony for the time being especially since there's not a hint of frame rate or stuttering problems.
