I don't know that is there anyone mentioned, but when I was charging a electric car, I end the charging but the charging sound still there until I close the game, the charging sound is a very annoying sound that I heard it for a long while then I had a headache

Apologies for this not being caught earlier! I just verified it's still happening on our dev build as well, I will make sure this gets taken care of, it is indeed *very annoying Thank you very much for the report!

I get this weird glitch almost everywhere when using any UI (especially career mode UI). Its usually something like

Tried to load blah blah blah
failed to load blah blah blah
repeat until that UI is closed.

Anyway, it's screwing up my mouse and I don't know why this is happening.

And yes all my mods are disabled and I clearded my cashe.

Strange, I'm not getting this on my end, could you upload a log file or take a picture of what it's saying, lets see if we can't figure this out!

bussin.buses said: ↑

Yes, please! I agree, the trailers are all way to expensive, and the D-Series shouldn't be uncommon.
Click to expand...

The D-Series is a tricky one, there are SOOO many configs for it that just be percentages it would show up the majority of the time. I know that there were some special cases to try and limit it's presence but clearly it still needs balancing, thanks a lot for the report!

Musicman27 said: ↑

So I managed to get to the "dev mission" drift mission, but it didn't work, any idea why this was still included?

Also, I can't wait for the expanded police and racing modes!
Click to expand...

Yeah the upcoming work on police and racing gameplay is something I'm personally most excited for! We've got some great things happening to round off the delivery gameplay at the moment, and then we'll start diving into these other gameplay elements! Regarding the dev mission though, that's surprising (it was probably a left over test during a switch over of the drift systems, I'll check in on this, thanks for the report!)

bussin.buses said: ↑

I can't move anything with the node-grabbing tool in walking mode. Once a door is open, I can't move it, I can't pick up cones, nothing. It's weird.

This has already been re-implemented on our dev build and hope to get it out to the public soon, sorry that it was removed, there were some systems changes going on and it allowed for some very wonky behaviour, but we never got around to reimplementing it to Career - rest assured, it's on it's way back

simsimw said: ↑

we should get dynamic time!
Click to expand...

This is something I dream about often, a lot of us do! This requires much more than just hitting a toggle switch unfortunately. The level textures and PBR setup require extensive work, the buildings need to "turn on" at night, street lights need to be balanced, and the amount of extra work required is massive. There are no immediate plans to do this at the moment because of the required efforts and needed tech improvements, but believe me when I say; we all want it and have our fingers crossed!

I love the updates to career mode... it already feels much more refined than the last version:

I would like to make some suggestion in no particular order: I almost exclusively played the labourer branch/delivery game play, so most of those suggestions are based on that:

The highway doesnt see as much use as one would expect when doing longer distance deliveries. The parts next to the city are basically never used as the on and off ramps of the highway are comparable far away and as such never are considered as a route.
View attachment 1133040

Example of an undersea tunnel: (Starts at 1:30)

Even going all the way from Spearleaf Island to Belasco Garage forces you to take the "regional road" instead as there is only an highway off ramp (but no on ramp) where Spearleaf Bridge meets the mainland.
View attachment 1133042

If one wants to use the highway, there is no choice but to drive all the way through Belasco Downtown and use the on ramp there. This detour makes using the "regional" road much faster than it should be in comparsion. It also becomes a bit boring because this road sees a lot of use as a result.
View attachment 1133043

Even if you go all the way to the end of the suburbs... almost no highway usage happens.
View attachment 1133061

The bottom line is, that I find myself driving through Downtown Belasco pretty much on all deliveries which gets a bit old.
No of course, for locations that are there that makes perfect sense, but I really should not have to drive trough Downtown Belasco to get to the Steel Mill, Lensflare Studios and the Suburbs. Going from large scale industrial facilities to other large scale industrial facilities should be more highway based.

There is no highway on ramp near Spearleaf bridge on the mainland, forcing you through Belasco Downtown or some regional roads. As such it would be highly appreciated if we could get an direct highway access from Spearleaf Bridge on the mainland. I basically should be capable of driving over the bridge and then entering the highway in both directions .

As the area is already a bit crowded, I would like to suggest an underwater tunnel from Spearleaf Island to the highway. I even have some lore for it:
"Ever since an tragic accident where an fuel truck from Spearleaf Refinery Group set Downtown Belasco ablaze, there has been political pressure to have most commercial vehicles take an alternative route. The Belasco Bay Tunnel, linking directly up to the highway was openend in 2020. Due to the expensive undersea construction and cost overruns, it however comes with mandatory toll to help recover the construction and operating costs. Besides offering superior highway access, this has made the tunnel unpopular for local drivers and truckers alike, a fact not helped by a certain lack of enforcement of traffic rules that often sees heavy trucks - that have to take the tunnel unless they are delivering directly to fuel stations inside downtown - not only exceeding the speed limit significantly but also honking aggressively at anyone driving to slow for their liking. Word of rumour has it, that most officers from the Belasco Police Department also dont like the thought of having millions of tons of water above their heads and would much rather watch any incident from the bridge instead. Sealbrik, the local concrete manufacturing plant says that there is no need to worry about anything, the tunnel was made with their best quality concrete to which the president of the police in a press conference was heard muttering "That is precisly what I am afraid of".
To make matters more interesting, the way the tunnel walls reflect engine sounds and a comparable low traffic volume has lead to local street racers taking interest into it. While the tolled nature of the tunnel should in theory discourage repeated unnecessary driving, the toll stations are only placed on the entries... leading to some mad racers quickly steering into the uncoming traffic to avoid paying for their fun.

From a game logic standpoint, the tunnel toll system could be based on the redlight camera system. Except that the "red light" is always red and the "fine" is actually a toll. Maybe 1 BB per entry?

And maybe an dirt road access tunnel that is only used for maintainance and "closed" for traffic? A nice way to cheat on the toll but not for the faint of heart as there is only poor emergency lightning and material from construction is laying arround.

Generally speaking, there could be a few more underground facilities/tunnels. Yes, I know the secret tunnel from construction site to the canals but a city of this size often tends to be made out of swiss cheese in the underground. The tunnel under the steel mill are wonderful, as is the police station parking lot..... more of this please

Speaking of tunnels, I would like to suggest a shortcut:

This tunnels leading to the Dockyards/FinancialDistrict/Promenade are quite useful as they allow you to tow heavy trailers gently upwards compared to the step inclines in other places. They are already quite nice, but they could be better with an - maybe abandoned/under construction tunnel leading to the other side of the map?
View attachment 1133136

This is the tunnel leading to the promenade to give you an idea of far the tunnels go below the ground already.
View attachment 1133137

And this would be an suggestion for an short cut tunnel to the other map side. Maybe something like an maintainance tunnel? It doesnt have to be pristine road.... more like dim lit horror movie stuff like below the Steel Mill. The map is located in the USA so neglected infrastructure is a somewhat common sight in the less well off areas. Also, it is a maintainance tunnel... it really does not need so much working lights or regular cleaning.

View attachment 1133138

If you would consider the suggested underwater tunnel, those networks could be connected, but the shortcut would also be nice all by itself.

But enough on infrastructure:

Cargo should be sortable by column:
View attachment 1133142

Trailers that (in general) require a real large truck could be displayed in a different text colour compared to trailers that at least in theory could be pulled by a car.
View attachment 1133144

A similar colour code system could be used for urgent/fragile/special cargo

Locations that are already on the delivery list should have coloured text even when you are not hovering above them. This would make it much easier and more enjoyable to find the ideal cargo for a run. Basically when I am going to Sealbrik and my current input location has anything to deliver to Sealbrik, those lines should be colour coded for easier visibility.
View attachment 1133145

"Tow me to the next road" should probably include the trailer in most cases. "Tow me to garage" already includes the trailer, "Tow me to road" should too:

Ouch... that hurts. The vehicle is unable to move under its own power because it is impaled by the bollard.
View attachment 1133147

Thankfully I can be towed and because I was lucky this time, I can reattach the trailer that is not blocked which can also happen.
View attachment 1133148

View attachment 1133149

Cargo Transport Boxes and their rewards feel like they could use a bit more fine tuning:
While it is perfectly reasonable that the XL-Cargo Box can fit the largest parts and be the most profitable one as such, there seems to be an certain lack of diverstiy between the medium and the large cargo box: The Landsdale is pretty much the "normal" car with the most cargo capacity, yet even with multiple LARGE Cargo Boxes it doesnt feel particularly more profitable than a vehicle like the Vivace that can only carry medium cargo boxes. I have the feeling that the reason for this is, that very little cargo fits inside a large cargo box that does not fit inside a medium one. This means that you are still mostly hauling medium stuff, even when you have large cargo boxes on your vehicle. For 4 digit reward deliveries, you need a cargo box XL.

While the roof mounted Cargo Box XL is of course awesome for hauling stuff, it comes at a heavy price. High center of mass, high wind resistance and it makes it harder to drive when using Orbit or Chase Camera. I realize that it is supposed to have significant drawbacks but could we maybe get a flatter, more aerodynamic version of it? Something like a large aerodynamic roof box? The roof box could also carry a bit of stuff ;-)

What about a Tow hitch supported Cargo Box? That way one could increase the cargo capacity of ones modest daily driver further.

Some final suggestions:

Calling a taxi should be possible even when your cash balance is negative. Walking km back home is not a fun game mechanic in most cases

Display the distance to the navigation target in meters (yes meters to be more precise). If I am sitting at the Refinery Pier and click on Belasco Garage, not only should the map display a route but it should also display the total distance (using all allowed roads).
View attachment 1133163

This would also make the "automatic route tool" even more useful. And it would be really great to have an remaining distance counter on the navigation UI App . I want to see how many more meters my overheating engine has to survive .

It also would be quite useful for FreeRoam and also Time Trials. Some modded maps are so huge.... you really want to check the distance between spawn points with the map tool and not drive there yourself as it could take hours. (Lands of Sands being a prime example).

Walking Mode should have "Tow to next road" option as well. When was out of cash, I transported a vehicle to "Fast Automobile" on the racetrack. The car naturally disappeared and I could not call a taxi (see above) due to a lack of money. So I walked..... a long time... and I made the mistake to try to jump over tire stacks.... I got stuck and was unable to get out... thankfully the game hadnt saved because otherwise I would have been stuck there forever. Still had to walk all the way a second time....

Thank you for consideration.

Painting requiring to sit on the button for an extended period of time should be made more clear in the UI... I was about to do a bug report video

Go outside of your car. Go to the trailer. Enter the trailer with F. Press R. Now you can already discard the trailer.

Read above ;-)

As other's have shared, WOW! Thank you for putting the time and effort into that! There are a lot of points to touch on, but in short I'll say: Currently WCUSA is already cooking the minimum-spec PC's out there so we aren't able to add any more to it until we get further improvements on memory management (which are planned and hopefully coming down the line soon for us) and general performance. There is no shortage of exciting ideas to improve WCUSA and other maps, and work is actively being done on testing new methods!
When it comes to new storage box styles, I agree that it would be great to have even more variety. The upcoming delivery gameplay improvements and additions will touch on this, but not quite as you've outlined above. We'll always be able to add more moving forward - for now everything has been a "systems first" approach, lets just get things working well first, then go back in and fill in the details and polish!

CaptainZoll said: ↑

On top of that, It feels like the size of the Industrial facilities is wasted having only one pick up and drop off location at the front of the facility.
It'd make more sense to at least make a dedicated trailer drop-off location for most larger facilities in lieu of their front office car parks, as it's weird to pull into a car sized parking space with your semi truck.

This is also probably already planned, but having an extra requirement to back the trailer into a specific spot, like in ETS, would add to the immersion of truck driving, and would also justify making trailer deliveries pay a bit more.
Click to expand...

This is certainly planned, for now we wanted to just get the basics, "pickup here, drop off there" working and we've got that done. Improving the gameplay, adding more difficulty and bonuses based on precision and skill are certainly still planned, we'll get there eventually!

catchow1977 said: ↑

the current career mode starter cars are too good they should be replaced with a mid trim 90s pessima and a 4 cylinder legran wagon and maybe drop the trim level on the covet a bit the current cars are to nice especially for quarry side a place that seems to specialize in retired taxis
Click to expand...

This is planned as well, the three starter cars were chosen only to represent FWD, AWD, and RWD options. Once there are more ways to make money and explore the game in a much more individual fashion, we'll focus more on, "here's a total beater, go get some cash and fix it up" where as right now, we're still on the way there! Thanks for bringing this up again though, it's a great opportunity to remind everyone of the long-term goals!

I can't wait for all the goodies that are coming to career mode!

The error is in the " ` " screen, I don't know if it's one of my inactive mods or not. I am not on that PC right now so I can't get a picture even if I knew how.

About the PC cooking. One area of a PC that can be upgraded easily is the RAM. If you need to update the minimum spec, I would suggest increasing the RAM requirement. Upgrading from an 8GB RAM to a 16GB RAM is inexpensive. You could either get another 8GB RAM card for around 40$ or a new 16GB RAM card for around 60$. I believe this is achievable for everyone. Although you would have to give multiple month notice over numerous posts and in-game warnings to alert as many people as you could. Possibly have a community vote about it

Just out of curiosity. Why didn't you guys go with an FWD, RWD, AWD, and 4x4 lineup? A low-end hopper could have been the 4x4. Granted the interior looks like someone used that ventablack paint. But I (, in my limited knowledge,) would think that updating the interior textures wouldn't be horrifically hard.

Was playing yesterday, and couldn't help shake the feeling that I really don't like the speed camera/red light camera system, even if it's something that exists irl, it's definitely my least favorite part of driving lol.

I also found out, by accident, that if your vehicle doesn't have plates, you won't be fined, with a specific message popping up.

It's those kind of details that make me love this game. I'm sure there will be consequences to operating like that in the future (Career Freeroam cops one day?), but for now, it's really cool that there's a way around it.

I'm really glad that a lot of people discovered the no-plate = no-fine mechanic, it's a fun little thing to play with as the "Automated Speed Enforcement" systems become a larger system.

At the moment they were only placed and made active because I asked for the art to be built 18 months ago and we never got around to putting them in. I suggested, "lets just get them in there, now, before release, and see what people think" after giving a small amount of balance. There is only one red-light camera at the moment as it was a last-second feature development. Things will become much better and clearer in the future updates for sure, don't worry! The overall goal is, "listen, you can't just drive 150mph in a truck to do deliveries everywhere, it's highly unrealistic, so here are a few pain spots around the map that you'll learn about and be forced to slow down through if you're worried about finances." We won't be making the map larger any time soon, so we need to make sure gameplay doesn't always consist of 54-second deliveries due to players just going full speed everywhere.

You can just press PRINT SCREEN on the keyboard and paste it here (it's above the Insert | Home | Page Up keys on your keyboard) otherwise, just try and grab a shot even with your phone if you have one! Sorry, there are much better tech-support people that could probably help you if you created a ticket haha!

Regarding the 4x4, it was more of my overall choice to simply give people the driving dynamics of, "easy, medium, hard" from the get go with Easy being AWD, medium being FWD, and hard being RWD. It's very loosely based in reality, but also a very basic gamification of drivetrains within a driving game. These starter cars will eventually change in the future as we get more robust systems cohesion.

While I was watching Broadbent's stream the other day and he was having trouble with the GPS coming out of the gas station I had a thought... Is there a final plan for the sat nav implementation?

Personally I would like to see something more realistic, where instead of the big magical arrows we have just vocal cues and the display from a built in nav/HUD or the BeamNav windshield unit. It would be mostly the same basic system that a rally codriver would require so the core functionality is something we're going to need someday anyway.

Like most things in career mode I would hope to see this hypothetical system tied to settings so the player can have a more casual experience if desired.

I’ve actually secretly wished that we could toggle a setting for the arrows, so we get a more realistic experience. With the new CCF dashboard, you can do this, if you use the interior screen (you can also search for any POI or event, like the diner in WCUSA).

Have you ever driven the "easy car" at high speed? It's harder to drive fast than the other 2 cars! I started my career with the ETK ONCE, and I will not be doing that again.

Also, that error went away when I cleared my cache to make sure it was cleared. I have no idea what could have caused it.

Also, I feel like putting a stop sign camera by the police station intersection would be a fitting location.

Also, are you guys working on the AI? They almost always go 10MPH under the limit, and at certain spots change lanes into you.

Also, that error went away when I cleared my cache to make sure it was cleared. I have no idea what could have caused it.

Also, I feel like putting a stop sign camera by the police station intersection would be a fitting location.

Also, are you guys working on the AI? They almost always go 10MPH under the limit, and at certain spots change lanes into you.

It’s kinda silly ‘cause there’s more and more complaints about the AI, as if it was getting dumber very update

Realistic driving: every other person on the road is dumb

Yeah, but they don't actively try to kill you and themselves.

A little of topic but... did the vehicle design crew know that "Wendover" could easily be turned into "Bendover" when they named it?

Back on topic, are AI improvements coming in 0.33? Or can't you say?

It's probably (I don't know how it wouldn't be) named after Wendover, Utah.

I don't know if anyone has already reported this, but the Mount Wallis Drift mission is not working

I really haven't found the ai to be acting badly lately, though i do wish they was more of a challenge on races and other events.

Greetings.
I just want to say that i have been playing the experimental career mode in experimental VR mode and its experiMENTAL fun!

You do a better job at truck simming then games devoted to truck simming. Having those fluid mechanics in liquid filled trailers feels great swashing around.

My main problem with the game is the force feedback for direct drive wheels.
I have the Logitech pro direct drive wheel. The problem is when driving at low speeds, its almost like i can feel every tread in the tire as it moves over the surface of the road. Causes huge red quick successive spikes in the FFB graph.
I try turning both smoothing options up to around 200 and still there.

The only way to somewhat manage this is to turn the force of the wheelbase down to about 4nm. I still get the crazy spikes but its not as hard on the equipment and i lose other sensations putting the force down that low.

Keep up the awesome work! VR support is fun, hope you don't regret adding it.
