Patch NewsPS4

you guys are acting like the patch will do wonders,...

yes it will add cars and a track,.. but there will be changed nothing about the online stuff.

Yes i like the new cars and tracks,.. but i will still be a bit crying over the fact that most of my driving buddies are waiting for a decent online patch.

i'm more concerned about whether they've fixed the little niggling issues such as:

-no visible AI driver when in dashcam view
-whole tunes not being saved
-some setup values can be adjusted but then revert to default after moving through setup tabs (rear bump a prime example)
-menu music through one channel only

And that's obviously on top of all the major stuff like leaderboards, lobbies, etc. Sometimes it's the small things that are overlooked.

I'm not confident of small issues being fixed, to be honest. Focus seems to be on technical aspects more than anything else. Don't imagine we'll get an end of race animation that isn't from the 1980s either.

The consoles themselves have online features that can compensate for some of the shortcomings of the game. With a bit of imagination, you can make it work.

Please, before that, the engine sounds glitch.

In fact, the engine sound glitches before anything else.

What's the glitch, I didn't hear anything odd?

I've noticed that through my smartphone's speaker (mono) it's not noticeable, but on any stereo system you'll notice it straight away. Place some headphones if you can.

Yea the sound stutters.

Oh, ok. I'm at work and was listening through my computer speakers, but my iMac has two speakers so I presume it's stereo but I could hear any stuttering or anything odd. Does it stutter through the whole video or at a particular point?

It's pretty much throughout the whole video, but at small points (frequencies?), not continuous. You can't miss it between 0:10 and 0:16, for example.

I've been getting some strange audio in the Evora GTC where it sounds like the engine has a kind of flanger effect going on, or is made up of several different sounds layered on top of each other. Bit hard to explain. I'm also getting complete cut-outs of the engine noise too from time to time.

What a great car though, love throwing it round tracks. Had to dial out the lift off oversteer a bit though and now she's tame lol

I just grabbed some headphones and listened and I can definitely hear it, sounds like it's skipping or stuttering. I can see how that would be quite annoying, hopefully that's fixed in the upcoming patch because that could make you not want to drive at all. Does it happen in all cars or just certain ones?

Actually I'm waiting to play the career with a decent difficulty level. And, to me, single player career is the most valuable feature in a racing game. So, the patch is no pointless at all

I think it happens with all cars, but in some of them it's hardly noticeable.

There's this constant feeling throughout the whole game that something's not right with the sounds (even in the menus).


And yes, it is very annoying. I just don't understand why there aren't more people complaining about this and why on earth this isn't referred in the Kunos list of fixes for the upcoming patch.

??

Me neither, especially if it affects most/all cars that's a rather in-your-face issue that will have a negative impact on every racing session. I don't think I've seen anyone else mention it but hopefully they're aware of it and will address it.

Because it doesn't. Ive driven buch of different cars (grated only for 4 to 5 laps straight), and this is the first time I've heard this glitch.

Well it's clearly an issue on his game mate, but I think he's on a different console than you so maybe it's not present on PS4.

Yea xbox, so it's a system issue

 

[bleeder]

Anyone had an issue where you spin out, stop, then select 1st gear but the car doesn't want to go anywhere, just makes a horrible engine noise? Switching up or down also doesn't get you moving again so you literally have to brake to a complete stop, put it in 1st again, then it works. Happened in more than one car.

Just wondered if that's realistic or just a strange bug?

I have had loss of pedal response a few times offline only, just left session and started it again.

I did not.

But only because I saw it mentioned from early on in their forums, for example in @doblocruiser's thread and also here.

I've seen it mentioned in a comment on their Facebook page as well. They answered it with something like "we'll pass this information on to our development team".

Actually, it's a PS4. Like the title of the video suggests.

Don't be so quick to dismiss this problem. And if you can, please take the Alfa Romeo GTA around Brands Hatch (or any track...) and upload a video from one lap there, in cockpit view.

Oh sorry, will take the alfa for a spin and have listen and let you know.

You should post on the official forums. There is no way for them to know the extent of the problem unless as many people as possible make them aware of it. One would assume that the problems that they read about the most on the forums will get the most attention.
