Project CARS 2 Patch and Update Discussion

[Harry Freq]

i've lost faith in this upcoming patch (reasons being it's taking too long and most of time im kept on the dark on what is being worked on) i know deep inside that whatever the stature of the game that i got when i bought my copy last september will be the same no matter what time to move on i guess 💡 i have no regrets supporting SMS they are great guys i love their work and maybe the problem is me too much expectations (i blame DF for this ) after countless hours on pcars1 lead to unsatisfactory experience is pcars2

I think the patch will drop this week. Early for PC and mid to late week for us console peasants.

Dropping this week for sure.

Either you've read my post not exactly or your demand is on a minor level...?
If this matches your expecations be happy!

A lot of racing fans going on with other games because tons of issues affect the experiences and reactions seems to be very slow. It's fact. Sure this is not read with pleasure by anyone but it is as it is and this is sad. I wish this situation could be changed.

Yes I've read your post. So SMS should rush the patch because you're threatening to move on to other games? The game has been out for less than 2 months and we almost have our second patch any day now. How is that possibly slow?

Is that officially confirmed?

I got a bucket of disappointment ready, I just have a gut feeling they are going to let us down again.

Why? Last patch fixed a lot of problems. I think it already helped the game. Now just cosmetic fixes for me.

please have a look to the Xbox version, then you know what he mean the patch fix really nothing on this version... Heavy FFB bugs, Savegames losts every few feeks, Online crashes, game freezes, tunes are not saved etc. there a lot more...

Seems like a wmd member nda spoiled that they are or have tested the patch and will be out this week.

No WMD member knows when the patch will drop, not even the ones who are beta testing it.
Please don't take a random WMD member post as confirmation for anything wrt fixes, release dates, etc.

Not for me. Pit stop issues, plus I still have issues saving setups (they work, but not properly), but other than that isn't too bad. The state the game is in currently is how it should have rolled out day one. It will get there, but there are still multiple issues affecting my game play, online racing with pit stops.

I am on PS4

but ok i heard how bad is Xbox One version.

Actually they said they tested It a made an assumption based on first patch timeline. However they are chasing him down for broken nda. That was written on the official forum.

Let's not forget:

- Can't save wheel/FFB profiles
- Can't save server presets
- Different people can have different weather in the same server
- Tire pressure adjustments are in Bar in the setup screen but PSI on telemetry HUD
- HUD glitch in VR
- Randomly loading setups from another car onto your current car
- Can't search for specific servers in the server list
- No way to filter servers by safety rating
- AI not affected by puddles on track
- Snow is included in the Random weather setting making it basically useless
- Can't save password for known servers, have to enter it every time and click the ok button twice
- Tire warmers on for every race in every class of car but never for practice or qualifying so adjusting pressures is a crap shoot

The list goes on and on, and most of those are (puzzling) design decisions not bugs/glitches.

^ Add to that the constant online bugs on the PS4, which will lead to frequent errors and disconnections.

And last but not least..... Ugly graphics.

On PC the graphics are one of the few places that don't generate any complaints, they're totally fine.

If you have a NASA pc for playing good for you. Don't generate either.... They're are NOT fine. Period.

You only need a NASA PC if you want to play in 4K surround (3x4k), otherwise most GPUs for $200 or more will give you 1080p at 60fps

As this is highly subjective I can't say the graphics are ok for everyone.

What I do wonder:
Have any of you guys ever considered the graphics would be a bonus for anyone with a awesome pc?
It was advertised from start to have a physics engine that pushes the boundaries of what we are used to in racesims.

Did you guys not expect a giant increase in required computingpower for said physics model?

If the answer is no, why not?
If the answer is yes, where do you suggest to save computing power instead of graphics?

Thid is not meant as an attack. I'm honnestly wondering what you and others like you think in this regard.

Um, I certainly don't have a NASA PC. But if you're offering to buy me one...

Buy an Xbox One X, it looks almost as good as it does on my Uber PC.

Yeah, I am perfectly happy with the graphics on pc. However, I had to turn off supersampling and another thing I can;t remember just to stop it from randomly crashing in a race.

 

[BrandonW77]

I run SS through the tray tool without any problems, that I know of. I have had the game crash to desktop several times, not sure if it's related to SS though, always happens when I'm in an online server.

This was actually in the custom races and it would simply freeze and refuse to respond forcing me to task manager end it. It may have been the other setting that I toggled. I just googled my issue and found that fix. Hasn't happened again since I made the changes.

In the public forums:

I totally understand you guys want Patch 3 yesterday, that much is clear. We do apologise for keeping you waiting. But I will say, the fact that it didn't come out a week after Patch 2 is actually a good thing. It means a more wholesome and stable Patch when it does release. Besides, asking when the Patch is coming out 30 times won't make the devs write code faster, I can assure you they're working the clock round, not sitting with their feet up. We appreciate your patience.

 

[BrandonW77]

So, what he's saying is we need to ask at least 31 times if we want the devs to write code faster?

Oh well some time away still.

Too many sentances .....
My English is too bad to make me understand.
I don't want awsome graphics. Just a fine graphics on consoles. Pcars have a good graphics on PS4 fat. Why Pcars 2 has poor graphics than Pcars 1 on more powerfull console ?
And why do i need to explaon this ? The physics engine is not the messiah for everyone. Good graphics is a need for good immerssion for me. Like the sounds etc ....

So .... what do tou guys need to understand ? Its obvious however....
