Early Experimental Preview of Career Concept

Hey yall, new to the forums. just wondering if anyone else has run into a bug with deliveries. I'm running a T-series with a 42ft tanker and have had liquid cargo showing up in the parcel cargo. It let's me pick it up and load it, but when I try to deliver it I get a fatal Lua error and a bunch of controls and menus stop working. Any and all help is appreciated, thanks!

 

I wouldn't have hit this if the collision box wasn't so messed up!

At least I got a repair forgiveness as it happened.

 

Hey there!

Thanks for bringing these issues up; they seem like bugs that could really disrupt the experience. Let me address them:

1. Money Runner Mission Issue:
   The challenge ending automatically when you stop on the green area definitely feels like unintended behavior. Previously, having to evade the cops added a lot of excitement to the mission. It might be worth checking if this is linked to a recent update or patch. Hopefully, the devs take note and fix it soon—I'd suggest reporting it officially if you haven’t already.
   
   
2. Mission Stars Display Bug:
   I’ve noticed this issue too, and it’s been around for a while. It’s frustrating when the stars show as completed in the menu but don’t match the actual mission progress. It seems like a UI bug that’s affecting all missions, not just Career Mode. A fix for this would definitely be appreciated—it’s confusing when you’re trying to track your progress accurately.
   

It’d be great if the devs could address these in the next update. Let’s hope they’re aware and working on a patch.

 

I've played this since 2016 - Only just cracked into Career mode over the Christmas break, I love the future potential, starting out broke with a junker and working your way up is quite satisfying. There are a few issues I feel are really holding it back though, firstly the cargo rates - I'm not sure why they're so low, is it a performance thing? Even at max reputation I get nowhere near filling up a T Series box truck at all the Industrial areas and the Ports, I've resorted to editing the configs myself so I can load up a truck properly, this really makes even the MD Series box truck a bit pointless to buy in the current game as you'll never fill it up unless you tweak the numbers.

The A.I - I feel like a few updates ago it was pretty solid, however the bridge to Spearleaf is a ramp to insanity, the best money making is transporting anything out to Spearleaf however a good 40% of the time you're likely to end up in a crash. I tend to drive carefully as I do enjoy the roleplaying part of delivering, but it seems all of Belasco is going for DUI records. The primary issue at the moment is that when the A.I has any accident, it switches off any of its previous driving behaviour, gets into the middle of the road (straddling two lanes) and stops, often causing more accidents in the process and blocking up the bridge.

I understand the bulk of crashes are from the A.I spawning in while the other A.I smashes into it which is likely quite hard to solve, but in the meantime can the post-crash behaviour be tweaked? i.e Make any vehicle in an accident pull to the right when possible and park up? And also make the A.I not involved in a crash stay in its lane and simply brake then navigate the accident after? Even if just one lane remains jammed up it would relieve a lot of frustration from a blocked up bridge.

I'm looking forward to more career mode updates, its given me an extra 100+ hours in Beam NG even with over 500 hours into it just messing around.

 

I'm still getting the issue where if i restart a mission with damage to my own vehicle, it stays damaged, and it's been an issue for a few updates now

 

I haven't really noticed a radiator issue quite yet, but it happens when a part of the powertrain gets damaged (eg. broken axle) and slows the car down
Also, when I quit and the mission, the part stays damaged, but when I go back in to the mission, there's no option to repair the car, which means I have to reload the save every time I crash my car

 

Yes, that's correct

It's when I restart from the esc menu, then exit and try to go back into the mission
There's no prompt or anything, it just lets me back into the mission with the damaged car

That's fine, as long as there's a simple workaround

 

As someone who's experienced this since the dawn of the career, I think the game doesn't see the powertrain parts as deformed J-beam so it doesn't fix it. Just like if you were to blow up your engine, it costs nothing to repair it. You just go to "purchase parts" or painting and it fixes the engine. Another example, if you were to break an axle during a challange and restart the challange you would still have a broken axle. The game won't give you the option to repair because it thinks the car is in perfect condition.

 

Any updates? Or is it mostly just polishing at this point?

 

This thread has been dead since Tokyo Xtreme Racer released

 

Might I suspect that we may see RLS style Free roam Events (time trials) come to the offical career? I do know we have been working on a bunch of new systems and balancing in preparation for 0.35 among some other drastic economy changes.

*edit:

Any AI improvements coming with 0.35 that you can divulge?

 

Glad to see the Belasco Bruckell Boys Mafia didn't bump you off for improving their city!

 

Seems like we’re getting crash tests in Career mode soon….

 

I remember a while back, there was a section in Minigames that was titled something like Destruction, so that could be possible

 

Just be careful. Those Bastions aren't slouches.

(Yes, that is my custom default car config thanks for asking. )

I'm looking forward to testing 0.35 out for you, and the eventual AI improvements.
