I’ve been playing the single player mode with, amongst other settings, simulation damage on. I had my first online championship last night, and started things off on king of the hill. Now as luck would have it I started as king, for all of 20 seconds. A heavy impact and I lost it, and the ability to drive. I’ll be honest, it was a bit of a shock to find that damage settings are left on in a heavy contact mode like KOTH, or multiplayer in general (when was the last time you had a no contact race online).
So my point is this, is there any chance of having damage automatically disabled when you go online, or will we have to change difficulty settings every time we go from SP to MP?
It should be disabled because it’s not fair against other players that have damage set on Simulation. I have played some rounds and my car was unable to drive but others simply played without any problem. My opinion is to disable damage both… for King and Infected modes.
Same thing happened to me, OP. I was like WTF when in a “fun” game mode my car sustained actual damage… and the other players were able to drive on like nothing happened.
