As the title says, the state of this game has become progressively worse since the game launched. What is actually being done to address these quality of life issues? The only thing we are told in the support forums is to submit tickets, which everyone experiences unreasonable wait times having addressed. When we do get a response, its typically limited to “are you still experiencing this issue”. If it takes longer to push an update out because it requires proper testing, than so be it, But since launch, it seems like updates frequently contain more bugs than they are fixing, and some bugs have continued to get worse.
- Game crashes have increased exponentially in the last few weeks, its hard to go through a play session without experiencing a complete game crash.
- Audio bugs that at one point were limited to the xbox one are now experienced in the PC version (Engine sounds disappearing completely, getting stuck at an rpm)
- Vehicles glitching in our garages to the point where we can’t delete or sell them in the auction house
- Vehicles showing as invisible in the custom vinyl designer, making it impossible to customize cars
- Network instability to the point where other players constantly teleport or rubber band during races and freeroam
-Network instability that results in disconnects from online play during sessions - Wheelspins which result in nothing being won, such as the “Wah Wah Wah Wahhhh” horn
- Seasonal/trial championship rewards that continue not to be rewarded correctly after three and a half months
- Drivatar AI that still handles on rails and isn’t effected by driving conditions
- Graphics settings on PC version that are still reset during every major upgrade
- Garage filter is now broken
- Textures glitching out at distance (draw distance bugs that are now worse than during initial release)
- In-game resets that still do not work correctly at times (Y button rewinds)
- Danger signs that are still register 0-3 feet jump distance instead of actual jump distance (windmill and mam tor #12 are particularly bad ones)
- Mixer influence bar now remains on screen during entire play session any time influence is earned in game, restart required to remove it.
- Textures missing from various vehicles (latest example is the mitsubishi car pack which are all missing the inside of the exhaust pipe)
- Netcode lag which causes vehicles to suddenly slow down and then accelerate uncontrollably while online
- Carpass bugs which at times require multiple restarts before you can purchase the vehicles (after the availability date has passed)
- Weekly challenge stats that do not update correctly.
I’m not trying to completely trash the game, but these are issues that bring valid concern to those that paid $60 - $100 for and besides from the apparent two moderators in the forum giving us some information, we just are stuck waiting to see if anything will get fixed update to update. I know retrokrystal is doing the best she can having to provide support here and with support tickets, and the second person recently hired, but it does seem kind of crazy to me that a game with this many problems and this many players would only have two people being a conduit between players and the development team.
