Problems So FarPS4

[hobbsy]

No downshift bug fix? Or maybe it's outside the patch notes?

Has it been reported? Or, it could be in the next fix, or maybe they cannot replicate it!

At least they appear to be active.

No brake bias. :/

I'm finding that several cars have broken fuel level feedback in the PS4 version. For example, the HUD may not display a full tank despite having maximum fuel on the setup screen. Sometimes the dashboard fuel gauge is affected too. Does the PC version also suffer from this?

I was having some very strange problems with the Nissan GT3 today where it wasn't revving properly, resulting in extremely slow acceleration accompanied by a whining, sputtering noise.

Also couldn't downshift as I approached turn 1 at Spa, tried shifting down from 4th and it got stuck in 3rd. Paddles pressed multiple times, then eventually shifted. Wouldn't accelerate through the gears afterwards, as if I'd changed the final drive to something quite ridiculous. Had to restart the game to sort it. And that happened twice today, and only in this car.

I haven't noticed this but i did notice that the fuel level has changed per car. 30L in the abarth AC is nearly full bar, 30L in a GT3 is just above the red bar. Don't think that was the case before the update.

I'd report it to 505 games support. Specific feedback is more likely to help them in sorting bugs and issues.

The Nissan 370Z is has the problem I described. As for the possible change you noticed, I don't remember how it was before.

The missed downshift thing got me bad tonight. Was in Huracan GT3 at nordschleife online, having a pretty close race with some guy. It had been missing the whole race, but finally distracted me/caused understeer being in too high a gear going into a turn and I looped. Hoping it's related to the DOR bug somehow and the hotfix corrects it...

Anyhow I ran out of gas on lap 3 of that race so I was doomed to begin with.

 

[Orayani]

Was the ABS kicking in during downshift?

Hi Fellas, long time lurker, first post.

Whilst playing last night, I noticed the turbo sounds [spool up and blow off] are missing on the Supra ND. They were definitely there before the 1.09 update.

Can someone else check this and confirm?

At some point, maybe? I've had as many as 3 consecutive taps of the paddle not shift.

And I really hope they fix the session length issues soon (for lack of better way of describing.) the uncertainty of not knowing how long you will sit there in qualifying after the clock hits zero, or in the pits after the race ends... awful.

I think we sat in nordschleife for 40 mins after qualifying "ended." I wanted to quit but the room was full, so I just went off and raced along with random people for several laps. I assume it needs a certain number of people to post a valid qualifying time?

It has happened to me a few times in the Huracan, at first i was like wtf. Then i put it down to me downshifting early and the protecor kicking in ( can't recall if gt3 cars have protection?) any it was obvious after a few times there is a problem .

Yea I've dipped well into the bottom half of the rev range on multiple occasions. It upsets the whole driving process quite effectively.

I've noticed if you're heavy on the brakes and a lot of ABS kicks in you'll get the missed downshifts. Where as if you're hard in the brakes initially then ease off before the ABS has a chance to activate the downshifts are flawless.

Ha, maybe that's why it always seems to happen at the worst times.. when at 10/10 and under pressure

 

[Fredzy]

Can this "hotfix" patch come to us at any time once approved, or does it have to wait until some nonsensical specific time to roll out to us, like a Tuesday or something?

 

[Orayani]

It'll come whenever as I've had game patches the other day for other games which was late in the evening here. Yesterday I think it was.

Hi Fellas, long time lurker, first post.

The very first post after ~11 years, shouldn't that be published in the news feed?

 

[Gyro1780]

I can't get any quick races to work properly. I can pick any car on any track & have this problem.
All cars ready on the grid, race starts, i accelerate & my opponents just sit there & don't move. Happens every time.
Am i doing something wrong or is it a known bug?

Thanks

 

[MIKEYJ73]

Yes, I should have emphasized the "long"

Anyway, I'm enjoying AC so much, I thought it was a good time to join the party, so to speak.

So anyone noticing any difference with the sound of the turbo cars since 1.09 landed?

Talking about the downshift bug with the T300, i did open a ticket on the support... Opened it in Italian so maybe they'll read it fast lol

ND? I just drove the regular Supra in version 1.10 on PS4. The turbo sounds do not seem as loud as they used to be but the effects are still there. AC's sound engine was updated in the previous game update, meaning that the audio levels and effects for many cars were rebalanced and changed.

Edit: On a second thought, maybe I'm just hearing the turbo whine from the Supra and many other cars with turbos. I paid attention to this while driving several of them earlier tonight and some of the turbo sound effects definitely seem to be gone. That's odd.

 

[Fredzy]

I think the patch improved the shifting issue, but I was still occasionally dipping down into the basement revs due to failed downshift in the 488 at nordschleife. It seemed improved though. Also, I don't like that car.

I thought is wasn't great when I tried it too. Seemed to have a lot of understeer for a Ferrari. Hopefully the GT3 will be nice though. Whenever we finally get hold of that.

Are you playing through a surround sound system, or 2 channel?

Just two stereo speakers.

update about the open ticket:

Thanks for reaching out to us at 505 Games Customer Support! I'm sorry to hear you're having this issue. Have you tried updating the firmware on your device? We've had this help some of our players when it comes to issues like this.

Yeah, when the issue is only in your game, i'm sure that may be the culprit of it...

 

[MIKEYJ73]

Same here. I do have a 5.1 setup as well, I'll give that a go later if I get time and report back.

I experienced it a few times at first with the Porsche 918 since you have to really mash the brake then adjusted memory on it.

How come you don't like the 488, twitchy and loose? It is quite a fun car.

It's one of those cars that seems impossible to recover if it goes off the rails at all. And it's easy to go off the rails, twitchy and loose would be an ok assessment.
