(PS4) - Several issues

Dear devs and community.

Due to some positive feedback by players on gtplanet and the very attractice price here in France I decided to buy it. So far it has mainly be a positive experience and the feeling when driving is really great. I came across a few issues I would like to mention:

• AI in career is unbalanced (easy can be very hard and hard can be easy)
• Challenges need tweaking (certain times and AI)
• Challenge with the Abarth 500 Trofeo hangs the interface and the hud and loading screen go into a sort of 800x600 mode. Unable to exit.
• Replays stutter
• Car is often out of focus during replay. Example Ferrari 312T at Magiore.
• During replays wheel sink into the tarmac or go through a layer of fog
• Photomode is missing
• After a race the player jumps straight into the pits. AI queing behind.
• Some framerate issues on PS4 during gameplay (solo or with ai)
• Career is unclear in showing which rounds are finished and which not.
• There are sound bugs. Nurburgring National with every bmw. Sound cracks and more obvious when looking left and right
• Alfa GTA has audio bug everytime one looks left or right
• Music in menus or while loading only plays in one speaker instead of two (only tested headset)
• Replay often incomplete even on 3 lap race
• Several track objects flicker during gameplay. Example pitbuilding Monza
• Alfa 155 last livery (Bosch Black) doesn't show correctly in car selection screen.

It's what I noticed and I hope those issues can be addressed in the future. As said I am hugely enjoying the driving experience overall and the game has a solid foundation.

If I can make a few suggestions which would to the variation of the base game:

• Custom championship
• leaderboards for non tuned cars
• Photomode with filters, shutterspeed and autofocus option. See driveclub as an example

Special request

• A Peugeot for me to drive. I really miss that

Thanks for reading and if I stumble into more issues I'll note them down in this thread.

Can I add multi device support, I own 2 Th8a shifters with my T500. One I use for H pattern shifting then with other games I map the second one for handbrake (e brake) for rally or drifting. With Assetto corsa this doesn't seem possible.
Thanks.

 

• During a race your loss/gain of track position is not updated directly on the left side of the hud.

 

• Vallelunga classic, Alfa 155 V6 , mixed, Alien AI -> player 's car rockets of the line , can easily get from 15 to 6 before the end of the first sharp right hander.
• Maybe some balancing needed when starting. Overall speed of AI was great but not Alien.
• When restarting a race often the player's and AI's cars roll. Need to restarting the race for second time.

All was encountered on Vallelunga classic.

 

• Sound of your own car is very muted during tv-style replays.

This game has great cars sound but it gets a bit lost during those replays. Is it possible to make the sound of the player's car less muted so that it has more grunt?

 

Hi,

Im playing on PS4 usng Thrustmaster T300 bugs noticed so far is:

- always low frames - multiplayer, hot lap - anything you play any car - always espacially for instance Monza first corner - nightmare
- sound bugs - multiplayer, hot lap, any other - engine is on only when car is on neutral gear - when u dont drive and put on 1st or any other gear you can not hear enigne-
- sound bug - it was somwhere before - engine sound when watching replay is to low, also you can not here the tyres while watching
- multiplayer - maybe it's not a bug but how can i create my own room where I can switch off all the assists? Most of the servers use traction control and abs - its not so challenging to drive like this


Generally phisycs of cars is great - fix some major problems and we can start real racing! Great job!

 

• Alfa 155 has sound problems on all the tracks. Cracks and cuts during gameplay.
• Alfa 155, mixed field, Alien AI, Spa Francorchamps: The AI is almost full on the brakes when going into eau rouge and half way into eau rouge.
• Vallelunga classic: AI seems to go wide everytime the player is close behind instead of defending his/her line (most obvious last corner before going onto the main straight).
• The 2 buttons left from the rewind options in replay do not seem to work. If clicked upon the replay doesn't play anymore and it is also not clear what those 2 buttons are for.
• The start of the replay is always missing even when doing a 2 lap race. Replay seems to be complete when doing hotlap/against the clock.
• Fiat 500 S2 mixed field is very unbalanced. It is mixed in with the Escort and Alfa GTA.

 

The buttons on Replay marked 'Cut In' and 'Cut Out' allow you to trim a replay before you save it which is very useful.

You probably pressed L1 and R1 at pretty much the same time which will trim the replay to near nothing. Fast Forward or Rewind then press L1 and R1 at different points to move the trim points. Should be fine after that.

 

Makes perfectly sense right now. Thanks for clearing that up

 

• There are no player's statistics
• In Hotlap / Timetrial it only keeps the best time for the current session
• Missing overview of offline times (local leaderboard) with for example your top 25 times (race/timetrial).
• With tirewear activated there is no indication of how far your tires are gone.
• No clear indication of when a pitstrategy is used / required

 

Don't want to open especially another thread but could the team provide some info on when the photomode is coming to the console versions? It was confirmed on Twitter early April of this year.

 

AI pitting all at the same time on either last or second to last lap .

No end of race recognition just teleported to pits

No local lederboards

Erratic in car steering animation

No championships

No points system

No telemetry/ tyre temp - wear , pit strategy.

 

I wish I didn't have to say it, and I don't want to sound condescending, but, well done OP for posting your experienced problems in a nice civil manner.

Too many threads have descended into chaos and console player bashing due to a few bad apples ranting and raving at Kunos. It's not the way to get things done.

I have experienced a good few problems myself, mostly with the fluctuating frame rate.
Hopefully Kunos will get things fixed asap.

 

A few issues too,mainly controller button mapping for me,but on the whole pretty good.I realise a wheel is the way to go with these sorts of games but not practical for me.
PCars was a nightmare on release so this can only get better,also Driveclub was awful when released but is really good now.I know its not a sim in any way but just using it as an example of improvement.
AC gets a thumbs up from me.
Cheers

 

Project c

Project cars was a nightmare but they took to the forums and responded to player something I have not seen here. On their Facebook they only respond to positive comments. There needs to be some accountability here not just we are working on it. The game was delayed twice and is missing way to much to be 50.00 it's a shame because the physics are the best but everything g else is so dry and dull in 2016 this is unacceptable

 

• Some menu translations not correct in French
• Several menu's translated and others not (example the results page hotlap)
• Shadows under cars disappearing in replay
• No noticable / clear indication when running out of fuel
• When restarting a session in timetrial (without quiting) the best ghost and time don't show anymore
• A possibillity to save a replay of your best lap and ghost would be great

 

I agree , no communication at all.
personally I don't think the physics are the best it feels like the game is running a brushed tyre which is something that sim developers stop using a few years back.
There is no slip-grip-slip-grip , no scrubbing, no weight transfer no chassis movement no telemetry. Its a sim yes but a very basic one .

 

• Challenge with the Abarth 500 Trofeo hangs the interface and the hud and loading screen go into a sort of 800x600 mode. Unable to exit. -> encountered on several challenges after a period of play in different challenges. Seems to arrive random. Quit game and restart is only solution.
• The stuttering of the sound also seems happening with every car. With some it's more obvious.

I liked your blog post from last week and I wondered if you guys could go a bit deeper into licensing cars and tracks and the way it works?

 

• The KTM Xbow career race has serious slowdown in fps when going into the first chicane taking the rumble strip on the right with several ai around. If rumble strip is avoided the drop in fps is much less severe.

 

• When going into the pits during hotlap nothing happens besides the car running on the pitlimiter. Need to go into the menu to activate setup settings in the pits.
• In the pre-race menu it is not possible to change AI difficulty, laps or mixed/class field.
• Splittimes at Silverstone GP don't always show the corrent splittime advantage/disadvantage.
