Grip bug thread

Pretty sure the bug has nothing to do with the tires

Speaking of Driving School , there are some obvious cases where people have times not normally reachable.

Driving School #8 for example in the Roadster @ Brands Hatch GP

My time is 13.075

the top 10 are:
12.900
12.976
13.024
13.044
13.065
and 5x 13.066

Thus the top 4 times are very suspicious

And #21

17.990 - Again , Impossible time?
18.160
18.187
18.205
18.285

#24 Likely glitched times and/or grip bug
38.498 S/S driver
38.593
42.464
42.778
43.066
43.620
43.675
43.742 - My time

#25 Top 2 are Impossible times
15.856
16.152
17.066
17.103
and so on

#35 Impossible times
12.978
13.028
14.809
and so on

You may be right. Some of those may be grass related though, and I know some of those guys you mentioned also took part in the 8 second laps.

I agree, seems to be something with the physics.

Main reason I thought tires was because of the overall corner speeds. Watching the videos, it seems to be from brake zone being later to accelerating much harder and sooner on exit. Not just one specific area.

Are you sure about that? Because it seems like a problem with tyre grip.

 

[zzz_pt]

Quick question: do we know already if this bug affects FIA races too?

 

[RA1784]

I remember a while ago i was searching on this site if somebody else has the issue with the resetting driving preferences. But i didnt find anything. If this issue is really related to the handling, eyes should keep open for a closer look.

It does.

 

[GT_Alex74]

It's not a tyre swap bug. This have been excluded pretty quickly, and that's mentionned in OP

 

[zzz_pt]

It does.

Who confirmed this? I mean, what player?

 

[BigDawg_1281]

Do we know when this all started? Was it at release or after an update?

 

[GTPorsche]

Who confirmed this? I mean, what player?

If it affects one online mode, it will affect them all. It's tied to physics.

FIA races, being on their own servers, could eventually make the cars the same for everyone independently of a player's progress (they only need liveries and drivers profiles that are not saved in the same file of the bug apparently). That's why I'm asking. Because I haven't seen a race yet of a player affected by the issue winning an FIA race.

Ah sorry I shouldn't have said that. I assumed there was no reason it would be different considering its sport. My bad.

Sport mode and the FIA championship races are run on dedicated servers. If one was to not be affected, both wouldn't.

I think it's important people don't go out looking at the top 10 times trying to find people that might have this bug, the leaderboards are already being pretty closely monitored by a good number of people who know what they are looking for and have a lot of experience doing and looking at top times. If you think we have missed something and you think a lap is questionable it might be better to send a PM to myself, @GT_Alex74, @zzz_pt or any of the other experienced drivers in this thread and we can have a look for you (probably best to message me as I have people in every region that know what they are looking for and can check/record for me if it's not a European time). I don't think it helps anyone for this thread to devolve into calling out every scruffy lap in the top 10 especially if you don't particularly know what you're looking for or can tell the difference between a bugged lap and a normal lap. But that's just my opinion, not sure if others would agree.


I've watched the lap and it seems completely normal.

You sound like a don, grip busters faction. 👍

 

[RA1784]

What about an error in aerodynamics? Massive downforce all the time could explain the late braking, good cornering and accelerating.

 

[Tou2istTrophy]

Well we will see what happens. Hopefully he sees that he really does have the bug and decides to help you guys out. (Or maybe he proves us wrong, who knows?)

 

[GTPorsche]

Massive downforce would slow acceleration and top speed. It's not that as it doesn't correlate with the behavior that's been seen.

 

[RA1784]

Massive downforce would slow acceleration and top speed.

Top speeds are the same now without bug.

 

[FPV MIC]

Could you ask if they have the same reset to auto transmission bug that @RA1784 had?

 

[zzz_pt]

That's my idea as well but I'd like for some confirmation. If anyone gets in race with one of the detected drivers who are "bugged", please save the replay and share it ingame and here.

 

[RA1784]

@Tou2istTrophy ask him about resetting driving preferences.

 

[Tou2istTrophy]

Right now he is on the account I made to match his 2:24 in daily race C. If he sees he has the grip bug, he might be a good guy and answer any questions here to help out. We will find out soon.

 

[RA1784]

@GTPorsche @zzz_pt

I mean what if downforce is always like on top speed and doesnt decrease when slowing down? You must have tons of downforce even in slow sections.

 

[zzz_pt]

@GTPorsche @zzz_pt

That could explain the excess of grip indeed. And the lack of tire squeal. But the acceleration should be slower... but then again, if this is a bug, nothing works as expected.

 

[RA1784]

But the acceleration should be slower

Not when you can go flat out of nearly every corner

 

[GTPorsche]

Downforce wouldn't affect tire grip levels to the point that they would be silent. If that were the case, the replays I've recorded wouldn't feature drivers making so many mistakes in corners either.

 

[GT_Alex74]

Plus downforce wouldn't have much effect on low speed traction.

 

[HellzFire]

Well we will see what happens. Hopefully he sees that he really does have the bug and decides to help you guys out. (Or maybe he proves us wrong, who knows?)

At least this guy is responding to you. Both players i messaged didnt.

Hopefully he will help us.

I tested myself:

I can confirm im not a Lord Gordo follower! Im Pelegif btw. I did a couple of laps on this account first then went to my primary. Whew.

 

[Tou2istTrophy]

Hi guys, he sees the problem (couldn't match his world record or get in the top 10 with the new account we made). He doesn't want to talk here but he says if anyone wants to discuss it, send him a friend request to DevilzGraveyard7 and either message him or discuss it through party chat.
