Yeah, SMS can suck it, 4 years in development and they release an unpolished turd, but wait there's more - they're already collecting money for the sequel and the first game is nowhere near finished. Even vanilla GT5/6 were better than this pos.

Man, what the hell is with this game? Now my game is stuttering every couple seconds no matter the mode I'm playing. Like the game hitches for a second and then continues on. It's pretty much unplayable now. (Xbone version)

I think I have seen similar issue posted at Pcars forum yesterday ( yeah, I'm a member there, even if I only play Pcars for a total of less than 6 hours so far- not mine )

Check here :

The OP also had it on career.

There has been 320 post since yesterday, seems pretty common.

This post may help :

"I did a complete reinstall last night and the game worked fine until i reinstalled the car packs, then the same stuttery issues reappeared so you guys could be on to something here?
going offline though for me so far has been a 100% fix"

From page 8.

Can't even be bothered with reinstalling and other crap. It's gonna sit on my HDD forever and ever and will serve me as a reminder not to buy anything SMS puts out in the future. What a disgrace.

An issue has been found with the LE car park. Removing that gets rid of the stuttering. They are working on a fix.
 
PS4
Car: Formula Gulf
Track: Monza
Issue: Low visibility tail lights off during clear daytime race but still reflecting off of the track during AI braking.

Have since discovered this issue is apparent at all tracks and includes my car when viewed in the third person perspective.
 
Has anybody had their tyres screeching constantly when they're worn? I was doing a 15 lap career race in superkarts with tyre wear on +7, and with 3 laps to go the tyre screech sound was constant, even on the straights, for the last three laps. On the second last lap stig told me my tyres were worn and I needed to pit, but I thought "**** that I've got a lap and a half to go I'll make it", so I just put up with the horrid sound 'till the end.

I did notice my tyres went bad very very quickly from then on. The last few corners had to be taken so slowly due to understeer. It made me think the screeching wasn't caused by the heavy wear, but caused by a glitch of some sort that caused my tyres to wear excessively in those last few laps. TBH it could be either of those, but either way it's a glitch, as worn tyres don't just bloody screech constantly like the car's being dragged sideways around the track lol.
 
From what you have said, I would expect that the noise you heard was actually the bottom of the kart running along the ground. Wear and pressure changes will have reduced ride height quite a lot, and running on the floor would also affect performance in the corners once bad enough.

No I can tell the difference in sounds between the floor scraping the road and tyre squeal. It's the scrubbing sound the tyres make during hard cornering, but just constant. Besides, it was near the end of the race so the pressures would have been much higher than at the start, and tyre wear would have an almost non-existent effect on ride height.
 
Had the same bug happen again tonight. Lap 11/15 at sakitto the tyre sound gets louder. I first noticed it while cornering, and then on the straights, and it just got louder and louder until it was a constant screech drowning out the engine almost. Annoying as ****.

Watched the replay to see if I could pick up on anything odd and noticed that during the entire race, any time my kart got over a certain speed, smoke would constantly pour off the tyres. It was most noticeable on the main straight. From about 1/3rd of the way down the straight, all the way to the braking zone, a constant stream of smoke coming off the tyres. I fast forwarded 'till when the tyres were making the constant screech, and it was gone. No screeching at all from the tyres in the replay, no matter what view I put it in.

I also tried doing a race paying close attention to protecting the tyres, and made them easily last the 15 laps without the dreaded screech, and then did a race where I drove as hard as I could, leaning as much as possible on the tyres, and with 5 laps to go the screeching started. Identical set ups both times. So from this I've concluded the tyre wear itself isn't a problem. If I drive the hell out of the car with no regard for tyre saving, it'll chew them up from too much overheating. The bug is that once they are worn to a certain extent, they start constantly screeching, and the screeching gets louder and louder too. Also that odd bug where the tyres were smoking constantly at anything over a certain speed, even in a straight line, and even early in the race while the tyres were relatively cold.

As it should. The focus of the forum is gathering targeted, constructive feedback to help improve the game. By the size of the first two big patches I'd say its working. Like GTP, the Pcars Forum is a dictatorship and if you don't follow their rules you get punted. They obviously don't want the forum clogged up with people who want nothing more than to whinge and cry without offering anything constructive.

Ian Bell and the mods has changed a bit today, especially after the Nintendo comment, the Militant Wiiu thread is hilariously not AUP friendly ( in GTP, it would have been deleted and OP banned ) but the OP has not been banned the last time I read :) There's one difference to GTP regarding moderation, Ian ban those who likes the post that the poster was banned for. Often posts are deleted, so others sometimes took the wrong understanding of the context as to why the banning happen. It's complicated for them, with limited staff ( mods ) :(

I've had this too. I posted it earlier in this thread I think. If you just go back to the pits after losing a wheel you'll exit the pits with the wheel still missing. You can still drive fine though, the car will behave as though the wheel is there.

I played around with it and managed to get a photo of me exiting the pits in a Lotus 49 missing 3 wheels lol.

Only way to get your wheel back is restart session.

Seems obvious, and I'm quite surprised that you haven't got on it, @Johnnypenso. SMS forum need Epic/Great/Spectacular Whinging and Crying Thread.
 
When I was using my PS4 and driving the Formula A around Silverstone National, I notice my T300 would turn to the left by itself. I don't see it happened in Driveclub thought.
 
Apologies, I've been away for a couple weeks, just installed the latest update and I've got a crazy amount of popping and glitching on PS4. I can see a few people have posted comments around stuttering but not sure if this is what im experiencing. Cant find anything through search.

Mainly seeing trees popping in and out like crazy and tearing.

I've not switched on PS4/PCARS for 2 and half weeks so i'm assuming it's related to a patch. Will a fresh install fix?

heres a vid, chase cam shows it best

sorry if it's already been covered, happening on all tracks for me.

Quit and restart race.

No its not total silence (I know about that one) ...this is certain audio missing like collisions with other cars - and hearing other cars on track right next to you. Restarting doesnt solve it. It only happens in certain classes as the Clio Cup is fine with audio.
