458 Trofeo is freaking bumper cars

Why would we make this up??

I for one don't race on line (because my internet is too slow).
I don't compare or complain about lap times.
So why would I make all this up to get yelled at and made fun of??

 

First off, this is the console section so they don't have multiple choices as far as system setup goes. Secondly, the ai doesn't rubber band. (it would need to be a baked line/time AI for that to happen and it isn't)
Stefano himself has lightly mocked you previously, that should be reason enough to quit spreading the same misinformation.

 

There's absolutely no reason a simulation racing game should employ rubber-banding AI. It's not in the game, AI is set to a certain AI level (which mostly affects braking distances) and drives their laps, the end.

Kunos could be more detailed about this as devs ofc but they'd tell you much the same.

 

I can only tell you what I experienced. I'm pretty sure you guys know I'm not trying to cause trouble. It's just hard to not say anything when I see others experiencing the same thing and saying AC is crap.

I am willing to give Kunos any information they want. I will run experiments if they need.

I get annoyed when I see others being made fun on this subject, but I will do my best to stay quiet.

I wish everyone good luck and peace.

 

And, in an earlier reply, I conceded that the AI may not be rubber banded. It may be that I am not always hitting the best racing line and am losing time. That still does not explain why the AI does not react to a collision. If they slam into me, then decelerate, fine. But they don't. The AI continues on, accelerating and increasing your wipe out, making it impossible to recover. That is and was my primary issue. If it was another driver, they would attempt to avoid the collision, but if unable to, would at the very least react afterwards.

 

This is getting really silly vega. But, have your way. Paint the people stating facts as bad guys, not my concern. If you have something to report then report it, make bug reports, please. Help make the game better. Not leading arguments over that you're in the right. Because unless the code for consoles is somehow suddenly completely different than on PC there is with absolute certainty no rubber-banding in any version of this sim. On PC you can easily check that yourself with the AI dev tools as well as the switching to other cars' cameras and replays btw.

 

I believe and respect you. I'm doing my best to understand.
You guys are high tec and I am old hotrod very low tec. I do understand you guys yelling at me. That's usually when I get the best answers.
No disrespect intended.
I am probably AC biggest fanboy. I stayed through some very broken driving (mostly caused by my lack of computer skills) for one simple reason, Kunos is trying to make the most realistic driving experience.
This is not about coming in first every time. That's what video games are for.
This is a driving simulator.

 

You guys are not the bad guys. I respect you guys.

 

Sorry if you got the impression that people are yelling at you, but that wasn't the intention. This isn't about talking you down, it's just stating a fact. You and others might have gotten the impression that the AI has rubber-banding but one can just tell you that this isn't supposed to be the case. If that makes you guys go into defensive then sorry, but that leads to nowhere. Now, anyway, it's best that you guys provide a detailed report of your findings and let the devs check that.

 

@Epistolarius

I did give a log last year but my tech skills were too poor to make much of it. There were a lot of guys helping, I'm sure you were one of them, thanks.
If you never experienced this I can understand your doubt.

I just want these guys know they're not crazy it will get fixed.

What ever it is it only happens to a small number of us. I was surprised to hear someone from PS4 experiencing the same thing I did.
Mine doesn't do it anymore. I think I can get it to do it again. Not really high up on the things I want to do. I would try for Kunos if they want me to.

 

Leave your system alone Vega.

 

Thanks. It's a beautiful thing.
