Is GRID Broken?

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.

yes its now done it 3 times to me now as well - right after the race on the penalty point screen - pressing B does nothing - pressing ... takes it back to the opening screen to i know the controller isnt locking up. Looks like a bug in the career mode.

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.

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! :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

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.

Yeah patch notes on the store page and in library would be great.

Yes GRID is broken for me too. Keeps freezing, except music, after career race finish, and then crashes. Tried yesterday, and today a couple of times. Same thing occurs. "oh woops! ...looks like something went wrong. Please restart the game." error code or something in those lines. After a several minutes unresponsive racing result menu, music plays. No button responds. And then it crashes. And gives the error code.

Same for me, career mode is unplayable at the moment. Crashes after each race.

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.

I'm not sure how to contact stadia customer service. But I did contact codemasters customer service about it. And they directed the information to their developers and perhaps google. I think it will eventually get fixed. Tho I also was told that this game freezing and crashing glitch might only apply to the touring car 1 career race. So might wanna try do something else meanwhile it is in the process of getting handled. Or ofcourse refund if you prefer that. Or know how to do that. I don't. I like the game tho, so I'm keeping it anyway. It's not realistic driving, but the gameplay is very good. Like it allot.

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. :grinning_face_with_sweat:
