Update 1.14 Undocumented Changes Thread

[Johnnypenso]

1.14 is resetting hacked cars

To expand upon this:
They're being reset by offline arcade mode. They do not reset unless they are used in an offline race. If they are used solely in an online lobby they do not get reset, and they even appear to be not modded to everyone else in the lobby (sound and looks). Seems like they would want the opposite to happen if they wanted to stop modded cars.

This was an announced (documented) change. Wrong thread too.

>> Movement is not fluid (low frame rate?) since update.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but am I the only one experiencing what it seems to me like reduced frame rate? I only notice it when I went to do the RedBull Championship. I notice that the road was showing a "strange effect" that was absolutely not there before. Anyone noticed it?

I thought it could have been the new sounds that were causing the lag, because redbull is too fast. But after that, I started looking more carefully, and it happens everywhere. Unless I'm being paranoid, even that flag that appears between the menu screen and race screen (kind of where the loading screen was before) appears to move in little jumps.

Can anyone confirm this?

Even on Sahara at 1080P the frame rate is rather smooth on my PS3 Slim 160.

Bug. Wrong thread.

I noticed that too. Especially in the new Sierra challenge. When the rain stopped the FPS noticeably jumped higher.

I confirm.

Honda HSV-10 doesn't have engine sound from interior/bumper view. I hope a hotfix quickly.

I sent a twitter to Kaz, do we need to create a topic about this bug?

Again, this is a bug, wrong thread.

Improved FPS is a bug? Or did you mistakenly quoted me?

Improved FPS? Really? Unless my PS3 was acting funny/buggy, but I'll try again tonight

Bug. Wrong thread.

I didn't thought of it as a bug but a change. They may have reduced FPS on purpose. But the Standard Redbull championship is very annoying now

One person posts that they have a reduced frame rate, others post that their frame rates are fine. It's not an improvement if people have differing framerates, it's a bug. It's been the same with Bathurst from the beginning for example. I can't play it online, I just freeze up and have to reboot they system, and many others have posted something similar. Inevitably others play it with no problem. That's a bug IMO. When everyone says they have improved framerates, then it's an undocumented change.

If everyone reports the exact same experience then I'd consider it an undocumented change. But we already have two people here posting opposite results so I'd consider that a bug wouldn't you?👍

Before this update when exporting a huge number of photos to the PS3 the console will froze but the process will be completed. Then the console will have to be shut down with the three beeps. I try it once with over a hundred photos and the console didn't froze after this new update.

Okay, no problem.

Is it just me or did they fix lighting as well????

@Johnnypenso it's not quite accurate to refer to me as an "expert".
But thanks, for that, and these threads. 👍

 

[Ferraridriver27]

Please correct me if I'm wrong, bud did the lines on the road always reflect on the cars windshields? I drove some cars on sierra and tokyo and it seemed new to me.

It's been like that since launch.

Oh, ok, then I wasn't paying attention to it. Thanks for clarifying

I found this picture by accident. Maybe a hidden car or could be fake. I don't know if this is right place to post so I'm sorry if I'm wrong.

A hidden standard, what the hell?


@Whistle Snap never mentioned it, so I'm guessing it's not new or relevant. Looks fantastic though.

Hey, wasn't aware that such a Silvia existed. I don't remember such a version being available (Nismo only has one tuned Silvia, IIRC), as you said it might be a fake. Or maybe it is a byproduct of tuning a standard car (much like the case of the striped Standard Miatas)?

Either way, it is an interesting mystery...

 

[vasiliflame]

its not a standard it has an interior.. also the added text never seen that on these type of pics before

 

[Lewis_Hamilton_]

Ooh, I hope that picture is real. The car is 12 years old though, if it's real at all, probably a canned GT4 car and I doubt we'll ever see it.

Be cool if we got it though, especially in premium form.

 

[Raoul Duke]

I was racing online with some club members and an interesting thing happened. The car I selected to drive was not the car that the other racers were seeing. They were seeing the car that I had selected for the previous race, and i was experiencing the same; I was seeing their previous selection and not the current one they selected... any thoughts??

It has PD alloys and a interior so that would be premium standards are blacked out even in dealrship. it looks like the s15 we have with a new body kit and new livery .. shadows don't look like it from another car or Photochoped plus the nismo plate ..it looks legit vv strange .. but the added text is throwing me off

 

[Aussie_HSV]

Did a bit of cross referencing with the Japanese car list and the English list.

Definitely says ...
NISMO
SILVIA spec-R AERO (S15) '02

Car doesn't exist on either list though.

Very curious.

I'd assume that text comes from the browser version of Community, which says the brand and model of the car. From what I can take from the Japanese text, the car is a '02 Silvia Spec-R Aero (the only Silvia to get the Premium treatment). But there are no tuning parts for that car ingame that look like that.

If it is Photoshopped (the game image), it is one hell of a good job. Most of the decals seem to be in the right place and the rims match the real ones. The only thing lacking in the game pic are the decals above and under the side indicators that can be seen on the real picture. Apart from that, the shoe fits.

That's the case? If it isn't too much to ask, could you give us a link to that conversation?

Exactly what I was thinking, the windows tell me that this isn't Standard.

all i got from that was a lot of japanease hentai what were you really searching for lol but on a serious note is there any text we can translate from the person who posted it.

Ps. i think a new thread should be opened becuase technically its a mystery at the moment and not an undocumented change... otherwise johnny may go all shinning on us
