    First off my specs are as follows: Intel i7 860 processor, 12gb DDR3 RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 graphics card. So here's my problem; ever since the Italy update I've had issues with the AI. Specifically, it seems that whenever I spawn 4 or more vehicles and try to use the Script AI OR the AI menu some,if not all; cars have this issue where they rev their engines like they're trying to move but won't unless I tab over to them. Once I tab over to the vehicle, it will work as intended but the moment I switch away it starts messing up again. I have tried disabling and deleting all mods, lowering the graphics, starting in safe mode, and reintalling the game. Nothing seems to be able to resolve this issue. Also FWIW I was able to run 6-7 cars smoothly with most graphics options on before this happened and I have not noticed ANY other performance issues with the game. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I've noticed a lot more AI hanging bugs too, but I haven't played with it enough in the past to know if it's new or not. Same sort of thing, the vehicle sits there revving until I tab to it. It will usually say, "vehicle crashed, check mods" or whatever that message is, so I hit CTRL+R to reload the car and it's fine. Happens with non-modded cars, and modded cars, and seemingly randomly. The car will be driving just fine then suddenly suicide and say "ERROR" =D I've learned to live with it, buuuut would prefer it didn't happen.

    I use arcade, i did realize that may be an issue considering how much i used to hit q instead of tab but ibe mapped the left shoulder button on my controller for that so i dont think it's that. Also, i never got any error codes whatsoever but i didnt hit ~(?) To check the console if thats where it would pop up. On a side note its cool to talk yoi nadeox after playing this game since 2013 i love it keep up the great work!

    I default to manual but sometimes switch the AI to automatic because I feel it makes life easier for them. I'll pay more attention to this now that I know it's not just my end and hopefully I'll get you guys more info to help out =)

    Forgot to mention, it seems like it happens with certain vehicles such as D-series, hopper, and a couple other i cant remember. Spawned in 6 pessimas and all AI worked perfectly but if i add one or nore of the aforementioned vehicles, the bug appears.

    It's happened to every vehicle for me so far, the Vette, the Sunburst, the D-Series, etc.. at first I thought it was just the ETK but nope. I thought it was happening to me because of constantly changing and reloading LUA files (.. the.. lua?) while building a level and thought maybe there was a hangup in there.

    Next time it happens I'll take note of everything I can =)

    It has happened to me in the past where I had to reload the AI when messing around on official maps, and I always just passed it off as, "... huh, strage! CTRL+R" but it's certainly not SUPPOSED to happen hah

    R resets the car, CTRL+R reloads the car, and that will always fix it!

    I always knew there was a difference between the 2 I've always remained ignorant as to WHAT exactly it does. I know R just puts the vehicle back to the spawn point (either self designated by CTRL R or the default) and CTRL R could recover and reset the spawn point. So CTRL R resets the physics and R just respawns the vehicle?
    e
    Edit : physics of JUST that vehicle i shouldve specified.

    It reloads the car, as if for the first time entering the game AND sets its spawn point wherever you hit it.

    So it happened again, AI was using ARCADE tranny, and all I did was hit R, tab, R, tab, R, tab, R, tab to reset the four cars. The one car - ETK Police - crashed as before. It got to the end of it's AI run, hit my target vehicle, and I reset it. Then it refused to work until I hit CTRL+R as it was just sitting there at say 3000rpm stuck at it's spawn point. I'll post back once I get things to start happening consistently.

    Thanks a million for the CTRL R trick it works everytime! Also i still cant figure if theres a common denominator that makes this happen.

    Well I've just managed to make it happen every time.

    It happens when my AI is chasing me who is parked on the other side of a jump and I have "route" showing in the ai ui. If I turn off ROUTE it never has issues, but as SOON as it leaves the ground with ROUTE on, the car/ai bugs out and says
    Doesn't matter what transmission I'm using. Also just using Sunbursts. Pics added to show it working fine before the jump, and broken once it hits the jump.

    Now is this because the jump breaks the car or the car breaks the jump, or the "sudden change in direction" breaks the route following guide/graph?
    --- Post updated ---
    Also here it is showing trajectory and navigraph just fine - only crashing on show route.
