In real life they try to make the cars as strong, and light as possible. In a few years you could have a strong, light car that can hit the barriers, and not break. So the real life fix is to be able to hit the barriers, and survive, so that should also be the game fix.
This is a casual video game, not real life.
Very little of what happens in Forza would be acceptable in real life. We don’t play Forza because we want an anally retentive carbon copy of real life.
I saw some success with the ghosting. Saw some players ghost before causing a huge mess but the wall riding slowdown is horrible. Not just other players, it seems the other drivatars do not have the same rules and doing the trial, I was bumped into the wall a number of times by a non-ghosting drivatar giving me a slowdown. Not to mention a couple times I just tapped a corner so here I am sitting in the middle of the track with a slowdown as cars go flying by me on both sides and I lose about 5 places in the race.
Its terrible
Just given rammers a new tool
Slight bump into the wall and they take off while you are stuck on the wall with a slow down
Ghosting is the only good thing about it
Walls with friction only would not be a solution either because the current System prevents both wall riding and wall bombing (using the wall as a hard brake in tight turns).
The current solution is easy: just don’t hit the wall.
Ideally they would fix both the wall-ride - more than 1/4 or 1/2 second or more than 1 collision with the same wall - and “corner bomb”. In the corner bomb, the wall is used for all decel, but is only hit once or twice, at an angle that yields forward momentum.
The current situation simply penalizes all contact, which means most of it now has a double penalty (since it already slowed you down). It’s really just an amateurish hackjob of an implementation. Boggles the mind for a AAA game.
I gotta say I LOVE going from 2nd to last place because I get pushed into the wall. Come on man, this is ridiculous. Then yes I lose my rank, yeah the update is nice but there is still issues that need to be handled. GHOST THE ROOM FULLY and leave the wall system the way it is
I did a lot of matches.
What I felt was that the victim suffered more and more damage.
Rammers enter the in-course, decelerate and push the opponent away and the victim collides with the wall and slows down, but the rammers run away at high speed.
This phenomenon continued, and the ghosting of the corner turned out to be all different depending on the corner The victim received a lot of penalty for the small crash.
Rather, it was better before it became a patch.
This patch is ruined.
it is hard to understand how these systems are implemented in rank matches and it is not fun.
Rollback patch required!
many community sites write about the issue, many people are expressing disappointment with the patch.
This is it. What PG didn’t get with our complaints about wall riding. Contact with barriers is normal in motor racing. Gliding round the outside corner barrier is the problem not your everyday wall collisions. The ghosting has minimised, not completely ruled out, corner bombing for which I am thankful to the devs. Corner bomb - ghosted - smash head on into a barrier and be penalised. Brilliant. That’s how it should be.
The wall riding fix has fixed wall riding as in I haven’t seen it once, even in the races I would expect it to be blatant. Alas though the fix includes any contact with walls whether through bad driving, avoidance or just being nudged. I had hoped the fix would deter/ punish the wall riders but we are all being punished.
What IDIOT came up with this “fix”??? All it did was encourage people to cheat by ramming you into a wall and then getting rewarded for it. Way to go. Three times I was driving a good clean race at the front of the pack only to be t-boned on purpose into a wall slowing ME down and punishing ME for someone else’s cheating. Beyond enraged with this update. No more “cheater’s adventure” for me until this garbage patch is fixed.
I used to just exit out of multiplayer when I was being constantly and intentionally rammed from the side by some [Mod Edit - Abbreviated profanity, profanity and profanity that is disguised but still alludes to the words are not permitted - D], but now, I just exit the game any time I get a wall penalty for simply touching a wall. I could care less about “wallriders” and more about the [Mod Edit - Abbreviated profanity, profanity and profanity that is disguised but still alludes to the words are not permitted - D] who clobber everyone at 200MPH at a 90 degree turn with a wall, and these dumb a’s who pull up next to e then continue to steer into me over and over until I am off the track or outside of a checkpoint. Apparently the series 9 fix doesn’t do anything to stop people from ramming me on the side repeatedly. After just one night of wall penalties in every race and constant high speed collision prediction (might as well be the lane departure warning in my Toyota going off every time I change lanes!) boxes when I never hit anyone, I am totally uninterested in multiplayer.
if the friction is big enough … corner bombing would be slower
haha, driving school. I am fairly sure most newbies to Forza just try to make an S2 999 or X class straight away then just race wide open throttle…unfortunately, evolution will naturally select intentionally hostile drivers who can learn to use the fix as a weapon and they will proliferate.
I did 3 adventures testing this, and this system would need still bit more fine tuning. In one corner i didint even get notification to hitting wall even when i ride that wall (on sidenote that corner is faster to drive cleanly) in many corners i did in purpose bit too wide to hit in wall and got tiny slow down but nothing that would be too several (imo just like it should be that accidental contact on wall dont slow too mutch) but in case where penalty system is too harsh is when you screw up corner and crash in the wall when you lose all the speed and top of that gets huge wallriding penalty (i have tight race in festival circuit and my internet deside to lag and i end up hitting wall pretty hard just that one hit made 5 second difference)
This patch is ruined.
Victims will suffer more damage and fixed objects will be unconditionally subjected to wall impact penalty.
and even if there are no walls, there are ridiculous situations where Internet delays can cause collision judgments.
This patch is rather ruining the game.
Rollback patches are urgently needed!
Are they simultaneously taking advantage of the wallriding “fix” by knocking someone into the wall to get the victim a speed penalty and the ramming “fix” by becoming ghosted and avoiding the wallriding penalty when they hit the wall themselves? Hilarious.
Oops, rammers solved that patch quickly… Still playing solo then 
report this to the support … show them the system is flawed … to me the other cars should be ghosted in the first place … but u clearly dont deserve a penalty
Full ghost room, it’s becoming very apparent dirty players can still push you away from the checkpoint. Just had it happen to me at the end of the race. Went from 1st to last, gonna end up abandoning the game for good. I’m not gonna deal with this BS much longer
Why you try to force yourself playing ranked when you can play fully ghosted custom adventures? I have done both today and fully ghosted custom adventure was even more competive than ranked adventure was.
