0.28 Discussion Thread

i think the transmissions have a set time to switch gears, no matter how long you actually take to shift?

 

i agree, in 0.27 it was better, the new system that you have to wait for the transmission to finish switching gears really sucks

 

i Have the same issue

 

and also why, with some visits to the game, it stops at the loading ui inscription and at the same time does not load further and has to re-enter and then it starts it does not happen often but not too rarely. looks like a bug

 

Holy crap they fixed the weird artifacting in the terrain. Thanks devs.

 

last time i had the same issue, i dont even have any mods enabled but i had the same issue for some reason, idk why

 

I started playing the game recently again, and I noticed 2 things being super broken: UI and AI
These things were already like that in 0.27, but that post is locked, so I'm posting it here.

The biggest problem by far is UI. UI is quite a mess right now. The UI is sometimes extremely laggy (About 5 fps, while the game itself runs at 60 stable) or is completely stuck/frozen. I even now learned that there is a way to force refresh the UI...I never had to use that before, but now I need it about every 2-5 mins. (And the force refresh is also "laggy", it takes between 5 and 30 seconds after pressing F5 for it to get that I pressed it)
The UI also resizes certain things on the fly, which is super annoying. (Like "Oil" when it reaches 92C and "Coolant Thermostat" when it reaches 0.9 in the Engine Thermal Debug App)
Most of the time, these problems come from switching between vehicles (By pressing TAB)
The regular "menus" are also pretty laggy/sluggish. Using the options, vehicles selector etc... is quite unsatisfying because of that.

The second problem: AI. It seems like the AI got a lot less "intelligent" since I last played (At least the "Chase" mode)
I have been trying to get chased by 3 AI police cars on West Coast, but 2 of them manage to crash in the first 20 seconds about 3/4 times and either break the car so it's unusable or become stuck.
This happens most when you take a turn that causes the AI to realize that there is a faster way to you, so it tries to turn around, but during that just crashes head-on into a barrier/wall.
Another weird behavior is that when they chase you on the highway, and the slower police car is in front of the faster one, it blocks it and doesn't allow the faster one to pass it. It drives in the middle of the road and the faster car behind it speeds up, then breaks to not run into the other one, and this repeats all the time, causing the Chasers to only be as fast as the car that managed to be the first one on the highway, which is sometimes the slower one.
Then, when they finally manage to get to me (Which is super rare, even with me just cruising slowly), they just full speed crash into my rear wrecking their cars completely and just damaging my rear a bit. It would be great if they could at least try to pit maneuver me. I even voluntarily give them a lot of space on my side so that they try something, but they still just full speed ram into my rear.
Also, sometimes police AI don't use their sirens.

 

I THOUGHT THERE WOULD ONLY BE A TEASERTODAY WOOOOOO
Sorry I'm just excited for the update lol

 

Another small issue that I noticed is that when you have the "Look Back" Camera bound to a key, and you use it while a car with an active siren (Like a police car) is behind you, the siren sound gets cut off, and you just hear a small cut-off "biep" from the siren instead.
When you go back to the normal camera, it's fine again.
Basically, siren sound is bugged when using the "Look Back" Camera.

 

I like new update, finally interiors are muffled like before. New remasters of etk800 and k series is also good only problem are needles on gauges on 800 series as they when past 2000rpm gets shorter and after 5000rpm they get back to normal length, k series doesn't have that problem. Also I don't know if you changed something for 3.0l petrol engine for 800 series but paired with 6 speed manual it is dream to drive it delivers power soo smooth

 

also, the etk 800 speedometer of the rennsecht version lies at 30 km h in a smaller direction and this screen that goes into the circles of the speedometer and tachometer needs to be fixed

 

Special thanks for creating the 800 series All-terrain touring model!

// A few little things I'd like to have fixed or changed:

The front suspension/steering on the ETK I series will break if the wheels turn completely when they are off the ground.

The ETK 800 rear bumper is maybe a little weird when it touches the ground with the tow hitch installed

A second electric motor doubles the battery capacity of electric cars

I love them openable doors, but I would also like it if we could hide those boxes when not in use

This might get buried but if you're using the Realistic headlights mod (i dont know if its the same with the repository version) the widebody front bumper disappears on the 800 series
before somebody complains about it missing maybe the Devs can refer to this post if sombody complains about that
i pointed it out to the mod author aswell and hope he can fix it with an update

 

Noticed that the devs practically added the lookahead mod
Thanks (maybe?)

 

i know but the stats you see are very cool i want to know how far i drove or my favorite car

Does anyone know how to open rear engine cover on civetta scintilla in 0.28 update ??

 

Hello there ! Well with the new update we have a new clutch system, more realistic and im completely fine with that but my issue is . I don't have the "intended equipment" to play the game you know steering wheel, pedals, shifter . I have learned to enjoy the game with a controller(countless hours) while using realistic shifting, i mapped the clutch to R analog (I wish the controller had a 3rd trigger) .Now I grind the gears no matter what with or without Gearbox safety assistant . Please make an option that we can utilize the old clutch system or sequential transmissions for all vehicles.

sorry for the bad writing and no im not mad for the new update .

 

yeah i was thinking of the same, like make an option in the settings where if you enable it you will use the old system or something, it was just better

 

better for our application, temp fix i guess sequential transmission for everything

 

any mod vehicles in traffic are completly broken and do not move
