Drivatar / AI Behavior

Since Turn10 seems to have “not noticed” the miles-long thread, every person with this issue needs to post their OWN thread rather than replying to already ignored threads until Turn 10 addresses this issue.

Drivatars are BROKEN. They have been progressively worse with each game release. Basically the AI races as if this were a demolition derby.

  1. They like to bunch up and crash into everyone on the first corner. No matter what you do, if you actually are in the middle of the pack on the first corner, you will get plowed into and shoved all over the place. The AI doesn’t notice you’re there.

  2. The AI rams into you if you just happen to be on their “line”.

  3. Once the AI makes contact with your car, instead of reacting like any normal racing driver and backing off or steering away, they actually continue to ram into you and push you until YOU give way. This kind of behavior would get a real racecar driver’s license revoked.

  4. The AI granny brakes on many corners, making you brake way harder than necessary. Often it brakes on corners that could have been easily taken flat out. However if YOU brake in front of the AI, they will ram you.

  5. If you don’t manage to hop past all the AI cars on the first corner, because, let’s say, you hung back to avoid the slaughter, then in a 3-4 lap race you cannot catch the lead car even if your car is faster. The three cars in the lead seem to get a “speed boost”, or have friction modifier enabled. Friction modifier scores are banned from the rankings, yet the AI gets to have it (or some similar boost) so that while you’re fighting for position, the lead 3 cars are going faster than they should be able to. The net result is that EVERY race, you have to jump and ram through cars in the first corner just so you aren’t too far back into the pack to catch drivers who have an unfair speed boost.

This is hardly a budget game. I have bought Forza 5, Forza 6, Forza 7, Forza Horizon 2 and Forza Horizon 3. That is a significant investment in this series. Many others have done the same. Turn 10 needs to STOP IGNORING people on this issue and fix the AI.

Set your grid to Random and if need be quit the race and restart which takes seconds a time until you find a desirable start position which is not always close to the front as the middle of the pack is the worst place to be. You can also set your HP in advance setting to 1HP above the car you are driving which helps overcome the supercharged lead cars. It is all you can do until they fix it. If they do

Drivatars are broken, yes, I had a better clean racing experience on Forza 6, the IA was agressive, yes, but didn’t ram you deliberately. I saw my brothers drivatar hitting me in the back wheels with his steering wheel turned on a straight LOL.

And the track choices in some cases didn’t help too, for god sake’s why they put Long Beach in the trophy truck champ? (Seeker) That race was hell on earth, restarted many times until I had to reduce difficulty from unbeatable to amateur.
