What issues need to be fixed in the PC patch ?

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 11 Nov 2006, 23:54

As you know, a PC patch is still in progress, and more probably it wont be out before most of the issues are fixed.

So for those who beated the game or played long enough for experiencing the most annoying issues, you can go ahead and post your most 5 issues here.

P.S: Post only 5 issues, NO chit-chat posts please, if i see any, i'll delete them, just make a post with the 5 issues you want to be fixed the most, i'll make a master list with the common issues after a couple of days and send it to EA.

Go ahead and start.

The exhaust flame problem....
Install Autosculpt Exhaust Tube = no flame come out when shifting/using NOS.

Maybe the disconnect problem as well.
I got some disconnect issues during on-line play.
Somthing like "You've disconnected from EA nation blah blah blah" popped up sometimes.

Random game crashes, 'Unable to join game' messages even though you're trying to host. There is also a variation of that error: 'Unable to join game. Please check http://www.needforspeed.com for updates'.

1) Crashing, mostly when it is in between loading screens. But happens randomly too.

2) Constantly getting disconnected online while in races. Especially when I'm in the lead

.

3) Re-mapping of all the gamepad controls like camera and look back, and even pause. And have more gamepads compatible. Mine works but I have to keep re-mapping it everytime I play.

4) Widescreen support!!! If I can get my game patched to widescreen, they should be able to also, officially.

5) Some sort of punkbuster/cheatblocker for online. Some how the EA server has to be able to tell if you are cheating. For example, speed trap races, say a race has 5 check points, it's rediculous to have a 3000mph total, or even 2000mph. Anyone who wins a race in 0.00 sec too, server should be able to reject those scores.

These may be irrelevant to some, but anyways here they are:
1. cross corvette cannot be unlocked without winning 24 territory challenges, but you can complete the game before 24 challenges occur, no way you can get that car then.
2. add quick-race only cars to car lot after career is completed would be nice
3. I saw people say the heat can go to 8, but my game never went beyond 5 (bug? me not completing something?)
4. more performance tuning options
5. add road to the mountain where caynon races take place.

1. Game crashing at load situations.

2. Game is choppy 50% of the time I start it, and plays perfectly the other 50% of the time. This happens on both maxed out graphics settings and minimun graphics settings.

3. Remove or preferably relocate the territory ownership information when entering a new territory in free roam. I can't count how many head on collisions I've had because the text blinds me from oncoming traffic or other assorted obstructions.

4. When customising a car many of the menu's cover the part of the car your trying to look at. You have to go into the camers mode to rotate and look at your changes. Whats even worse is when your looking at non visual items and you exit camera mode, you don't get returned to the same place you entered camera mode. This is a real pain when looking at rims.

5. Fix the crew wingmen when racing. The scouts and drafters that do stupid speeds to get in front of you and then suddenly brake right in front of you, on your racing line causing you to rear end them is annoying and most importantly, not how I think a team mate would really be driving. Their speeds shouldn't change so dramatically.

5a. Storyline CONTINUITY! I can mention 2 continuity flaws that happen in the first 5 mins of career mode just for starters!

for me the only problem i experience is the crashing when loading some not all races and the occasional slowdown of the fps but not major

DuztHooka · Post by **DuztHooka** » 12 Nov 2006, 08:04

1. Constant connection dropouts. Out of about 50 games I've joined, I can count the amount I've been allowed to finish on one hand.

2. Random crashes / quitting to desktop.

3. Lack of Shader Model 2 compatible motion blur (my video card was created more than a week ago).

4. The AI cars are on rails, particularly in the canyon runs. I wanna ram 'em over the edge, dammit!!

5. A LAN play option would be nice. Didn't do Most Wanted any harm ...

When picking a car when present in an online room, when 'something' happens (such as a player joining) or even out of the randomness, my car will revert back to the EA pretuned silver Gallarado. I have to idle on the car selection screen to 'lock' it.

93360 · Post by **93360** » 12 Nov 2006, 10:16

ok lemme see:

-cant add custom exhaust pipes when aftermarket body kits installed, coz it reverts back to the stock body when entering the custom exhaust screen.

-be able to remap the "look back" function instead of only using the default 'L' key.

-should have an online games list room where you can browse the current games that are up (including rooms for different race types etc) instead of searching randomly and joining randomly.

-should be able to create private games for friends only, like with people in your friends list and be able to chat with them without having to enter a game room to bring up the messenger.

-not automatically lose connection to eaonline when alt-tabbing out of the game.

- The option to mirror ALL vinyls (it's taking ages to put a 5Zigen vinyl on both sides.. And then you only did one.. -_-.

redarmy · Post by **redarmy** » 12 Nov 2006, 16:11

1.) Gamepad mapping. No key for "activate" (in freeroam), no key for "pause menu" <- VERY annoying

2.) Random crashes _AND_ corrupting savegame files!!! I cannot finish the damn career because of this :\

3.) Add into AI of active crew member: if ( meInFrontOfPlayer() ) { iDoNOTBrakeAndBlockHimSoHeGetsPissedOffOrHeLoosesTheRace() } !!

That's more or less everytihng. Since i can't get to play more due to saves corruption. Some more optimization wouldn't hurt too. The Motion Blur eats too much performance and so on...

1) General instability. Crashes. A LOT.
2) Vinyl modification is too damn slow, they should move/rotate quicker. Also one should be able to choose which side the aftermarket vinyls are placed on (or a mirror function that wouldn't revert the text from left-to-right to right-to-left) (or even better, option to choose whether you really want mirrored text, Japanese style vinyling you know...)

Tyrant · Post by **Tyrant** » 12 Nov 2006, 18:30

Yeah it crashes too much. Other points which would be good.

- Something which shows how much degrees a vinyl has turned (like 90 degree or 45 degree).

- A possibilty to make/import your own vinyls! A good example is PES5, you can import and make vinyls very easy! Picture:

You can easily make new logo's, that can make awesome race cars! Like Marlboro logo's etc etc..

I agree!

DarrenR21373 · Post by **DarrenR21373** » 12 Nov 2006, 18:45

Agree with most of the above:

1. Solve crashing to desktop (happens a lot just after Customizing a car in the safe house).

2. Related to 1. Would it be possible to change when car-modding saving happens, because it seems to me that it happens when you enter the next race. It would be cool if it happened as soon as you purchase the items in your trolley, otherwise when the game crashes you lose all your mods & customization (I hope you see what I'm getting at!)

3. Ability to mirror all vinyls - or at least racing numbers - it takes forever to get them on the left hand side of the car.

4. Fix crew's AI so they don't stop almost dead in front of you after hammering past. The player then rams them up the rear end, and opponents can often gain the lead because of this. Just very annoying!

5. Occasionally when entering Canyon Races, I have been taken to some completely unrelated part of the city - I then get the "Falling Behind" message and instantly lose (since I am obviously nowhere near where I should be!). Whilst about to start a Canyon Race in the McLaren SLR yesterday, I was placed on the roof of a building in the middle of the city!!

spectre01 · Post by **spectre01** » 12 Nov 2006, 19:36

1. crashing....

2. more options on mapping gamepad

3. you can choose and browse witch game you would like to join, not only with "custom match" and "quick match" only!

What do you mean with 3? You already can do that.

The traffic car lights. Sometimes when you're running below a hill you can see lights from other cars through the ground.

I think he means he wants an actual lobby system, a la Most Wanted & Underground.

Stereo · Post by **Stereo** » 13 Nov 2006, 05:25

I've experienced this a few times:

The level loads while I race... WTF? I see a straight road in front of me, so I head there. Then suddenly in 0.5 seconds, there's this invisible wall that I hit, and then the level starts to load it's 3D renders n textures... Liek WTF! *yaay All i have to do is go str- BANG=wallcrash-OMFG I SLOWED DOWN AND I LOSE THE RACE COS DUMB LOADING!

The crashing is also a huge bug.

One of the problems carbon has that the patch should fix is the random crashes to the desktop.
