I’ve noticed a weird delay. And actually in slow motion the gear delay is even more prevalent. Is there a limitation as to how fast you can shift a manual transmission without clutch assistance?
Edit: I use a H pattern shifter with peddles

 

Is this new?
(3 story parking garage next to police station, downtown WCUSA)

 

so everything in this new update is working besides the westcoast expansion... it shows the refinery as a spawn point but when i click it i spawn at the default industrial area. even when i zoom out of the map the end of the bridge still loops around/closed... anybody know wats up wit this? much appreciated

 

Reinstall the game, the update may have gotten corrupted somehow.

 

also the smokestack with the fire at the refinery is insanely laggy when driven next to/flown the freecam next to

 

I've been having this same issue since the update and the hotfix, ran in safemode. The framerate when spawning traffic is perfectly fine, but commanding them to "flee" or "chase me" causes the game to turn into a PowerPoint slideshow (<1fps). The game continues to do this until you click "stop" for the ai, where it then returns to the normal framerate. Weirdly enough, if you run it with the performance graph, cpu usage goes down substantially when you click "chase me", not up. Other than that, the update has been fun so far!

 

I love the new update!
Just wondering, when will the G2G for WCUSA be updated to support the new places? I did some but never had to deliver to steel factory and the island

 

I just read that if that any map mods that use westcoast assets in their game file cause this too. I disabled all my maps and the expansion appeared.

 

My attempt at VR

(please help)

It breaks the game and crashes the Oculus app.

 

railing was hungry

 

Shifting into reverse with literally any Automation car that uses a manual transmission damages the synchros, no matter how long I hold the downshift key. Please fix this lol

 

I am running totally vanilla and every time I exit the game the game hangs and then I get a crash report. I am trying to read and see exactly what is causing it but it only happens when I exit the game. I can play for two hours and never have an issue.

 

I am having an issue where the loading screen for spawning Traffic AI remains after traffic fully spawns. I tried it in safe mode and the bug was not present, but then I tried with no mods installed and the problem remained, so it can't be a mod's fault.

 

Nope

 

Do any of you know where the files for carrer mode are stored?

 

made an individual thread for this but i'll put it here too in case this has more developer eyes on it.

Not sure what changed for this to start happening, but ever since the update any vehicle specific keybinds from mods also effect the base game vehicles too. in this instance the monster trucks rear steering will also bind to the base games steering when it worked perfectly fine being bound and staying separate before.

 

I noticed a texture lighting bug on New West Coast Island on the off-ramp to dock at night between 17:00-08:00 am using Vulkan. I haven't tested DX mostly max settings avg fps 57

 

I tried mainly with the Barstow and the Moonhawk, but with the new gearbox physics system I find it's now very hard to grind gears even with lightning-fast gear changes on dated cars.

Important note: I disabled all gearbox/clutch assist features and I manually engage the clutch with the left trigger on a Dual Shock controller (I have throttle on the right trigger and brakes on left-stick-down).

Also, judging by the creepy sound generated (which doesn't sound entirely right, but apparently it's a placeholder) when deliberately trying to shift gear for example by not using the clutch, it looks as if the virtual driver is trying to continuously force the gear even if it's grinding; this doesn't feel to correctly reflect user inputs.

 

That level of detail.... amazing.

FunFact: A lot of vehicles with a manual transmission in real life do not use gear synchronization for the reverse gear. This leads to the behavior Diamondback mentioned. Coming to a quick stop and quickly engaging reverse gear is meet with grinding gear whine in my Focus as even with the clutch fully depressed, the transmission is still spinning in forward direction and thus is unhappy about the attempt of the reverse gear being forced in. When it finally bites, there is a notable clang and a feeling of impact as the engaging gear brutally stops any inertia left in the transmission. You want to avoid quick change of direction in a manual transmission car to avoid unnecessary transmission wear.

FunFact2: The characteristic gear whine of the reverse gear comes from it often being straight cut instead of helical.
