Bug in the Rally Challenge of the week [1.6.31.0] in VR

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

When the race ends, the time stays at 00:00:00 and isn’t saved in the leaderboard.

Ala de Ángel is the name of challenge rally of the week.

I’ve tried it several times, and it never saves.

It did save in the previous beta version.

The rest of the challenges work without any problems.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Always with the last beta version.

fyI - This is also happening in this week’s grand canyon rally challenge.

Yes, this bug is present with the last version 1.6.29.0

Yes, bug is still there, please fix

still broken in 1.6.30.0.

Also noticed if it helps that on race completion the time resets to zero just before the completion screen.

and in 1.6.31.0.

Yes, it’s incredible. Rally is unusable in this state.

Update: this only happens in VR. Tried w/o VR and score registered. Tried again in VR and it did not. Annoyed as my VR scores are much better.

I only fly in VR and the problem is serious because it prevents me from recording any time. It never works.

@GaryX1001 : are you also experiencing this issue in VR ?

I really hope this is fixed before the end of the beta.

Note for anyone hitting this - you can hit escape just before the final gate and exit VR. Resume and then score registers. PITA, but it is a workaround.

Updated: Not really a workaround as the time keeps incrementing while paused and leaving VR mode.

I don’t understand what it’s the sense of beta period if we report bugs and They don’t hear us.

The bug is here. I only fly in VR mode.

Remember: Time set to 00:00:00 at the end of the flight ignoring records.

Does any moderator read this?
Does it make any sense that we’ve been reporting bugs for weeks and then the final version comes out with such a glaring error?

There’s a lot of nonsense and rigidity about whether reports are duplicated or if they are filled out following the established guidelines, but when it comes down to it, the reports sent by the beta testers are ignored.

I don’t know who marked that as a solution. This is a serious forum; a workaround shouldn’t excuse such a glaring error that prevents the league from being played in VR.

In the case there is a workaround, the workaround tag is added and the solution mark added to the post where the workaround is so users can jump directly to it without having to search for it. It does not mean the issue is fixed and overlooked by the mods/CMs/devs.

Someone marked the bug as solved simply because someone posted a ridiculous workaround that involved pressing escape mid-flight to continue in 2D when the flight was being done in VR. An absurd workaround that someone marked as a solution. The time wasted makes that workaround unfeasible, even if it were taken seriously. It’s a joke.

I’ve been a Microsoft beta tester since before Windows 95 was released, and I’ve never seen so many beta testers as there are now, nor has I ever seen a more chaotic bug tracking system. I honestly think they’re not filtering bugs properly.
This particular bug disables and prevents the use of an entire simulator feature, making it impossible for us to compete in VR. There are bugs and then there are bugs, but this one is significant considering it prevents the use of a whole program function.

By the way, I’ve been updating the title of the topic as the betas have been released, but I originally published it at the beginning of November, almost a month ago now.

I’ve added a Youtube video.

Hello,

I fly exclusively in VR, and since yesterday (Upgrade SU4) I’ve exactly what you describe. I would never thought this problem was in any point linked to VR. First time I see that behavior. I tried cleaning the rolling cache, changing the online server to one of my choice, no results.

I just tried in 2d, achieving a terrible score by the way, it do work !!!

Store Version SU4 - I9, 32Gb, HP Reverb G2, RTX3090, Win 11 25H2 with SteamVR and Oasis Driver.
