The Crew Motorfest - General Discussion

How is everyone doing in the custom show with their bikes getting votes?

I have managed plat. Yeah, the update didn't do any good for us casuals. And it certainly didn't make it fair. Whatever fair is. Another proof that fans pushing for changes doesn't mean changes will improve the experience at all.
But it's really up to luck. Last week I saw @sirjim73 Mark X and gave him 2❤️. Nobody else would vote a normal Mark X. Like.... at least change something!!! 😂
And I totally agree, bike themed CS are... boring. There should be at least 20 bikes on each platform.

Thank you for the votes - I wondered where they came from!

I haven't even worked out how I find others to vote for - like would I be able to see you in the Custom Show and where would your bike be, so i can return the favour?

Random fact for the day - I have banged the gong at the Japanese temple where "Made in Japan" begins

Each platform rests every 8 minutes. Every minute one of the platforms resets. It circulate so (at least on XBox) you have many opportunities someone sees your car/bike. However you need to be extremely lucky some of your friends sees your car. Like since the beginning I only saw @breyzipp three times. Funny enough his Mini Rally showed 2 days in a row when I was checking the Custom Show. Tree times I had a chance to vote for him since the beginning.
Don't worry. It was just luck. Don't waste time searching for other cars. The odds are really low. But thanks for the thought anyway.

This is what they changed. It used to be possible to vote for friends if you agreed a time to submit the entry, because your entry always appeared in the show around 10 mins after submitting it (longer at busy time when lots of people were submitting entries). They appear to have now made it random when vehicles appear, which has stopped the organised groups of friends from getting lots of votes, but hasn't really helped anyone else. The top 10 contains many completely unremarkable vehicles.

I've been trying the lossless scaling app with the game on PC. It lets you run at high frame rates by creating intermediate frames. It has to be said, the difference between 60 and 240fps is absolutely stunning (on a 360hz monitor), I wish I could somehow let you all see just how incredible the difference is. Even just looking around the custom show, the difference is incredible. I don't think it gives a competitive advantage, because it makes input lag worse, but everything looks so much clearer, and it's so much less fatiguing. There are some visual artifacts, but overall what it's doing is like some sort of voodoo magic, the results are so good, bearing in mind it does it for any game with no support from the game whereas DLSS frame generation only works for specific games that give it the additional help it needs.
