OK so i logon today to learn that i got about 1200 car mastery points refund [Mod Edit - Abbreviated profanity, profanity and profanity that is disguised but still alludes to the words are not permitted - D] i really have to do ALL my cars again ?!?!
Broadway Windmill danger sign…
I did it like 10 times…everytime it does a 0.40-1.50 meters “jump” this thing is broken…
You’re doing it the wrong way
As already said, you probably trying to jump in the wrong direction.
Here’s how you do it for your seasonal (first clip in the video):
There’s also usually road signs next to jumping platfom which hint the direction you meant to come from.
Go through the middle and stop clipping the sides
And yep you need to do them all again
I had 6500 to do…some people had 20k even 35k
Now you can get all the rewards again and just do your favorite cars
The windmill bug has nothing to do with doing it the wrong way or clipping the sides. It’s definately a bug and it happened to me a few times as well. Picking a different car or reloading the game usually fixes the problem though.
Elaborate on this bug. Cause I did it one shot and it worked fine. Do you jump and it just stops midair at 150m? Does it fail or does it just stop and say it was a jump?
The jump itself would be like any other jump, but the distance counter would stop counting after a few meters (or even less than a meter sometimes), as if you had hit something right after the jump. It does not say “failed”, you just get a very low score.
When this happens, trying again immediately usually has the same result (a low score; the actual score may vary from less than a meter and up to 5-10 meters). Even a perfectly good jump through the middle does not help.
It doesn’t happen often and seems to go away when picking a new car or doing other stuff.
What car are you using when you get this?
I use agera RS and have never experienced it. I’ve used a number of cars and never experienced it, but a number of cars might be a dozen. So could be a body mod or suspension issue on your particular car.
I’ve seen it happen with different cars, such as the Renault 5 Turbo FE, the Mosler and possibly even the Agera RS, which I used for jumps before I had the Mosler. Not entirely sure about the Agera RS though, as I haven’t used it in a while.
Can confirm Windmill.
Seems to me like a problem with speed, to slow → 1m but you still fly quite a distance; go faster and it works.
The windmill bug has happened to me a few times and the cause seemed to be that the rear end of the car scraped the ground on takeoff, making the game think the car had landed already a split second after passing through the gate. It’s my best guess at least.
I had a couple times I’d land at 1900ft and it would say fail even though the landing was clean.
Glad im not alone,other way of doing it is in the grass…which is bad and slow…
I did a massive jump on the Windmill, I didn’t even look at the distance, I just drove off to do the speed Camera. After doing the camera I noticed that the Windmill wasn’t completed… I scratched my head, and did it again. So I might have had the bug too.
Thers also times I have done the windmill danger sign and it failed wasnt sure why also at times it just hit something in mid air and drop like a sack off spuds
You can hit rewind if the jump fails due to the bug. I’ve experienced it sometimes.
But this time it worked at the first attempt with my 599XX Evo, jumped more than a half kilometer.
This ^
I had the bug on my first attempt… Like I hit a wall mid air… Just hit rewind and let it jump again…kerrrrrchinnng
I was using a veyron btw
I have a ticket for it.
Some people like me are against using rewind. I believe that you learn best from being punished for your mistakes, and the punishment is to drive back to the beginning again. Neural networks (brains) learn better that way.
Er …this was specifically using rewind because of a bug not a mistake
