AI in 0.6

Ok, so that drunken AI I made a video of seems to be back with a vengeance:





This was on my second try on the supercar special event from 0.5. During my first try, an AI stood on the brakes so hard in front of me that my wheel flew off when I hit them:

 

I've noticed some amazing crash physics. Specially in the BMW M3 E30. Cars topple over very easily.
Fun thou

 

Yep something wrong Ai was better before the update

 

fantastic IA ...

 

So I made a few races with the tatuus on silverstone and actually had quite some fun. OK the ai crashes 70% in the first turn, but after that, when the cars are separated it's really good. They respect your line, most of the time, they go in too fast and don't make the turn, they crash each other in the middle of the race and fight for positions. It's definitely an improvement and it's going in the right direction. Good job guys.

 

Agreed, they seem more aware of you.
Had some fun moments allready.
Finally you can "nudge" an AI without getting catapulted off.
They seem trigger happy still but hey, it good racing "DTM" style

 

I agree, although it needs some minor improvements....

 

Yeah i agree AI has gone down hill somehow.

 

Downhill? I would argue against that to be honest.
AI definatly has a better situational awareness.
Aggressive yes, but very much more alive.
you can see the AI making mistakes as any real driver could make. Collisions and Lockups.

Why do you think the AI has gone downhill?

 

Sorry i mean optimization wise, see my thread in this forum section.

 

AH ! Yes to that i agree.
But it has been confirmed by Kunos that Optimizations are needed.
Even on a 3930K @4.8 ghz i get 1 fps in the first corner with 23 cars then down from 110 to 30-40 fluctuating during the race

 

AI seems to be a disaster if you have a gird with differently powered cars. Even E30 STD and DTMs mixed is a cocktail for disaster as the faster cars can't work their way around the slow ones.
Also in quick races do you always have to start last ???

With cars turning over and their roofs and windows disappearing under the track - not to mention damage (which I'm sure I turned off), I think we desperately need a car reset button.

Early days still I know but look at this......

BTW, on Vallelunga on that final chicane, anyone else notice there how the bumps so easily unsettle the cars, especially this E30 as you can see in the replay.

 

Roflol, That Clip is hilarious

 

I agree, AI is now completely mad... and those collisions - just look at this:

 

I agree, I tried 3 races with Lotus 49 at classic Monza (15 opponents, 98% strenght). While I was able to do nice races with 0.5.3, it's almost impossible to survive the first lap (in fact I abandonned after 3 attempts). And it's not just that they're crashing with me (I hold distance in my 3rd attempt to watch what's going on). They also drive into the back of each other. They made many accidents within the first lap.

 

Hello, first time post just to show my also leetle bit of AI glitch with regards collisions. This is more cosmetic as I see nothing wrong with the behaviour as such, no in fact I applaud the efforts of the dev team for making such awesome changes in such a short space of time.



Also I'm not sure if this is being sorted out but am still getting major F/R drops at certain areas of Monza in replay, again no biggie but if there are some camera fixes I could perform that anyone knows about that would be splendid.

Umm am I allowed to use Youtube to upload the vid,? Should I use something/somewhere else to detail the stuff I want to show? I'll delete if needs be.

thanks

 

Yes, more awareness, its possible now to duel side-by-syde. A good iprovement, but.

They still brake on corners and still, despite the fact that use the brake on the end of the corners, too much speed on straights.

In a real race the best place to make a pass is in the end of the biggest straight. But on Assetto Corsa now is the opposite. Its more easy to make a pass in the lowest section of the track.

 

I'm not sure if they are worst. I've made a 12 GTs race at Mugello and on first two corners it was a disaster but after that things start to improve. It seems that the fact that AI bounces a lot with small touches is inflating this behaviour. They are running well but after a small (natural) touch their bouncing creates havocs.
After that I made a race at Magione with KTM, Lotus and street M3 and it was a joy. Pagani and 599 were worst again. It seems that fast cars are a worst than street ones.

 

what bugs me the most is the amount of time spend with Ais, a feature that most of us will not even use, when we have multiplayer.


we could be racing online now if they had choose to do first mp than AI

 

I l 'impression that some car work well on some tracks and terrible on others, did a few races in Silverstone and almost always disaster, slow machines in the corners and very easy to come buffered braking, much improved but we are far from anything really playable
