Purchased GRID, playing in Chrome browser with Xbox controller until my gamepad arrives. I made i through my first career race and the game freezes on the race results screen. After about a minute I get an error message in Stadia indicating the game has crashed and to relaunch the game.
Anyone else having this problem or is able to advance past this first race?
@Borvish I played GRID for an hour or two last night, but other than the occasional stutters, didn't encounter any major issue. I did notice that after finishing a race, and it's telling me to press A to continue, the game kinda stalled for a minute or two. But after that it managed to proceed just fine.
Your issue sounds like a bug. Did you try to do the first race again and were able to replicate the crash? I wonder if it's just a one time thing.
Also feel free to send a feedback to Google so they're aware of the issue. From the Stadia app, tap on your avatar logo on top right corner, then scroll down to 'Feedback'. You'll be able to attach screenshot as well and some explanations.
Thank You Ivan. It happened 2 times in a row after that first race in the career mode. It gives you a message to press B to continue after the race on the results screen, but that did nothing. After a minute the game crashed in Stadia. I ended up refunding the game.
I think it might just be an issue with career mode when on Touring UK Open Track. Stock looks to be working ok. Turner is also working ok so far for me.
Now if i go back to Touring its working ok when i finish UK Open and can unlock Asia,Barcelona, Sydney, Fatlace
This looks to be a game-specific bug and your best course of action is to add your voice to this thread on the codemasters forum so that they can get a fix pushed to Stadia. You're not the only person who has been reporting this problem.

I added to that thread. It would be nice if there was someway to know if this gets fixed. I was looking forward to playing this game.
The good news is that if it does get a fix it will instantly be available on stadia, no download required! ![]()
It'd be good if Stadia kept an eye on the issue and issued a statement when it was fixed. I too was looking at buying this game because 40 person races sound brilliant.
Same for me, career mode is unplayable at the moment. Crashes after each race.
Refund now
According to user conditions in the states you can get a refund on any games within 14 days as long as you haven't played for more than 2 hours or something.
Not sure if that applies to all territories or where in the world you are.
So I played some other races than career. And the game freezes and crashes aswell at the race result menu. Even if its not tc1 career race. So this applies to all available races.
After racing, the game crashes at the race result menu, and does not save progress. So game cannot be progressed.
Yeah applies to all races for me too. Can't get a refund since I played more than 2 hours apparently (even though it was spend the whole time crashing and restarting). This is crap.
So I have found a way to bypass the crash. Not official fix. But if you remind yourself before you reach the finish, to tap the A button, as in "continue" to skip the race results as fast as possible. Then you will skip the game freeze. The faster and quicker you tap A button, the higher the odds of skipping the game freeze and crash.
Just spam the A button like you're getting 1 million dollar per time you press the A button. And you only got a few seconds to press it. That got me past the bug. Tho, remind yourself before you cross the finish line... To instantly spam A button after crossing the finish the line. Otherwise it wont work.
This got me atleast 1 race further. ![]()
