Phisics seems strange

Hi guys,

I love this game and, as a lot of us, waiting for private lobbies. I test something looking stange with a friend of mine : he was stop on the track foot on the brakes, i drove to bump him at 10Km/h and he slided for a 20 meters distance away. I know this test is stupid, but i ever had an accident faster than that, and i never slide so far. Is it a issue, a bug, or is it what you wanted to do ?

 

Could be something to do with online lag.

Try it offline and see what happens, try and get an AI driver to do the same.

 

It is more than likely just connection/lag/collision detection as you say. I'm in Australia but play with people from the USA and the slightest touch can be wild depending on connection. The better the connection to each other ie: geographical distances, adequate internet bandwidth but more importantly latency otherwise commonly known as 'Ping' will determine how stable and realistic the collisions/impacts will be/look.

I actually commend and congratulate Kunos for their effort in this aspect of the game, other than a couple of hiccups in the early days most of the connections to my friends overseas have been very smooth in comparsion to other games, the best in fact across both consoles. This is a big part of the online experience as 'Rubbin's Racin' and can affect a games online experience heavily for myself and other remotely located cities/countries. Today I was racing the Mclaren F1GTR at Silverstone with a friend from the USA and after slamming into him upon missing a braking point the crash physics looked very impressive with only a slight delay in the reaction as I hit it travelling about 50km/h faster not braking. This would usually result in one of us being sent flying in a fit of visual lag on every other game just about so well done on the netcoding/servers Kunos.

Now the AI, thats a whole different ballgame, they stole the solid marble upgrade from carma haha.

 

the game has different physics for low speed (below 10kph or something) as the complex formula that control the main physics would have to handle loads of divide by zero scenarios when stationary, so instead there is just a simple model which is not indented to be fully realistic.

 

Low speed physics is below 3kph actually.
OP 's issue should be related to network lag.
Never seeing it though.

Interesting.

 

Move to Australia haha, 200ms to Europe and NA guaranteed. All hopes resting on the fibre I get soon but like I said Asseto has the best crash physics of any game on console to date coming from someone used to lag induced crazyness when door to door with half a dozen others.

 

Actually every sim physics engine goes bonkers at 0 speed, because you are not allowed to divide by zero.

 

I also commend them for adding the Ping display for both lobbies and each player on track. This is something new to most console gamers and is slowly being introduced which I think is a good step forward in educating people about some of the basics of online gaming.

Just for reference, what is seen above other players for ping is not their ping to you, it's their ping to the server. If the number you see above their car is anywhere in or near the triple digits be aware their car may do unpredictable things associated with lag. If you want to try and get the best online experience try to join the lobby with the lowest 'ping' shown. But sometimes with friends there is no option other than to be aware and keep a little extra distance when getting in close proximity situations.

 

Im on PC but it should be the same on both platforms. Netcode itself have been really good the last year or so (cant remember how long tbh). I have been able to feel kinda safe when driving close to cars that have 200-300 ping. I think the issue comes when users have a lot of packet loss because thats when the server cant calculate correctly, and that can be a driver that have everything between 40 ping to 300.

 

The AI have inherited M Rossis tactics from Forza Motorsport...

 

Not really.

 

No?
Example pls.

 

What you describe is an old issue with games that use empirical tyre models. Edit: to be more precise, to whatever tyre model that uses slip ratio as direct input.

Thx for the link.
