Early Experimental Preview of Career Concept

i've got more

 

This is mega annoying. hoping to see this fixed in 0.36
what can I do? ram them out?

 

First off, thanks for the ongoing hard work - career mode has been quite a lot of fun and uncannily addictive for a while now.

Now on to the complaining. I'm still getting at least two (possibly related) issues preventing certain deliveries from being completed:

1. When delivering materials and parcels to the same drop-off zone, we need to unload our full load of materials before we can drop off any parcels, since the "Dropping off..." dialogue will be in the way (see attached screenshots). We can't seem to dismiss/skip that pesky material drop-off dialogue. This is particularly awkward with facilities that take only a limited amount of a certain resource, forcing us to dump any remaining material if we want to complete the parcel delivery without taking a detour to some other facility that takes our remaining load. Also happens with trailers instead of parcels.

2. Speaking of trailers: It seems that usually when delivering a parcel and trailer to the same drop-off zone, dropping off the parcel will also de-spawn the trailer without completing the respective trailer mission, forcing us to abandon.

By and large, carrying a lot of mixed cargo in/and/or trailers to the same destination still makes me a bit nervous in career mode, since wonky things are bound to happen eventually. Those two above are really the ones I can consistently reproduce, though, and have been around for a while.

 

Tried loading my save from the previous version and it worked, but my specialized XP reset and when I earn more, it doesn't show in the pause menu. I was level 2 in special when the screenshot was taken, but it only shows during the mission results. Is it just visual or will it cause problems if I keep playing?

 

Wow...y'all weren't lying when you said the Wydra would be way down at the bottom.

 

In safe mode, when doing at least this first race in career with AI, even when you change zero settings, and use the given car, you aren't given any of the main objectives and they aren't even mentioned on the finish screen. Not sure whether this affects any other races or challenges, thank you! Otherwise the changes in career have been amazing. Not sure if this is due to the PI system, and is temporary, though lol.

 

i've had the same issue on most of the AI races in career mode (most because i haven't tried all of them ) but all of the beginning ones don't give any main stars and the intermediate races

EDIT: using the given car gives me random opponents in different cars but using my own car gives me the normal opponent vehicles? in the first race while using the covet my opponent was a miramar, while using my own vehicle the two opponents were in the standard covets

 

In previous updates the career path or some other tab mentioned that in the future we would be able to build a taxi business. Was this idea scraped?

 

No food for me and my family this month. Bossmeng said i need to pay up for this! Even tho its not my fault some self driving car side swiped me while i was standing on the curb delivering a parcel. Fuck self driving cars!!


No for real, i think something is odd with the bounding box check in 0.35. I just stopped for a delivery, next i hear is a car loose its mirror driving against my frame, then a box truck completly side swiping me. both continue to drive as if nothing happend

 

That's why I install a bull bar on my delivery vehicles.

 

Maybe you guys could have larger drop-off zones across multiple parking spaces, instead of the 1 parking space, to combat this problem and add a little realism.

 

I see now that this issue has been fixed and I'm very pleased, I'd just like to ask @krallopian if we will eventually be able to change the "nicename" inside the game instead of having to do it in the career car config files (like the old colour system) I really wanna own more than one car of the same car and be able to easily distinguish between them without having to look at the thumbnails or loading both cars in.

 

Also, the custom thumbnails that get taken in career mode in the garages can kind of look bad so I was wondering if there was a way to have the showroom map (or something like it) underneath the West Coast USA so that when you take a new thumbnail photo your car can teleport down there to take it while still being inside of career, or maybe just have a button that loads into the showroom map and takes photos of all of your career mode cars in one save and then goes back to west coast? I assume trying to do something like this may be hard to implement, just throwing around ideas I guess.

 

Am I the only one who thinks that being able to access missions just by clicking on the menu without actually driving to them kind of ruins the immersion..? It feels wrong to just be able to play the mission without even getting out of the garage. This was better in the previous version in my opinion, but let me know what you think



Btw now that I've seen this has been mentioned before, the AI races still give you a random opponent instead of the default car as of the latest version. Not sure if James you were actually referring to a future hotfix not yet released but still I think it was worth mentioning
--- Post updated ---
Also you cannot even access the AI Races in the map

 

No worries at all and thanks YOU for being here showing so much love to the community

 

Whoever made "Mixed marathon" time trial mission is a genius! Man that gravel part really felt like me as a kid playing Colin McRae: Dirt...
