Me, again...

OK, John. I tried testing on the server. Unfortunately, I find it difficult to tear off a front wheel - and only one. Either the wheel stayed on or I lost a rear wheel too, so I couldn't get to the pits.
then I tested in training mode. You can use ShiftR in this mode. All (partial) repairs worked, regardless of whether the front or rear wheels were torn off.
I then started my own server in INT mode. There all repairs worked without any problems too.

It seems that the problem only occurs for online clients. So I need a server in INT mode that I can access with my patch. Unfortunately it will be a while before I can try this out...

Thanks Olaf, I will try not to crash for the remainder of the season. :daumenrauf:

Probably for discussion at seasons end but if you do find something and it is related to the partial repair logic......

Personally I would be happy to lose this feature. I loved the idea when it was 1st announced but after using it I think it just makes life more difficult than it needs to be. I like the revised tyre wear during a race but I do think the increased wear off track is an unnecessary addition as several off track excursions can result in extra pit stops which means even a minor error completely ruins your race. I think the "recovery" of the tyre back to Green should take longer as a compromise.

Just thinking out loud..

Next test report:
I have produced a special version of dgp841 which can join normal 60fps servers.
I joined UKGPL server. It runs in INT mode. I produced loosing wheels (front and rear and both) and made ShiftR...and it worked like it should.
After that I was driven to my pit and made stop. I stand for 30s and all worked like it should.So I could't produce the problem.
