Thank you, looking forward to the next hotfix!

On the traffic amount - my default "Max amount of vehicles" is set to "Auto" - which seems to be 10 (12-core CPU) - and I don't see any difference between "A lot of traffic" and "A little traffic".

Just checked: East Coast "A lot" is 10 cars and "A little" is 10 cars too; Italy "A lot" is 10 cars.
Actually, just saw some weird behavior with "A little" on Italy: at the start there were two cars, then another one spawned, then another one, then more, until there were 10.
Maybe there is some "spawn traffic on a map" procedure that doesn't take into consideration the variable "scaled amount of traffic on mission" and uses the max value by default?
So, like, you start with "scaled amount of traffic" and then the "spawn traffic" procedure adds more cars till the max amount reached.
At least that what I think might be happening.

 

I found 2 Bugs :
Ibishu Covet "Runner" config has no shifter equipped
When you equip the LHD Race interior on the covet, and select the "Metric Turbo Gauges", the needle of the boost gauge is still on the right side.

 

Not sure if it counts as a bug or not, but this is what happens when I preview a replay recording with motion blur turned on. (It's currently at the maximum setting of 0.5.)

 

Traffic version of Vivace has a bug:

 

The motion blur is awesome, great to have that feature in-game! Although it would be great for it to affect wheels as well but I'm sure that's planned

 

it has too much power and must be stopped

 

Not sure what's going on here. Happens with every car, regardless of whether mods are activated or not. The car drives fine and the jbeam seems fine.

 

does it happen in safe mode as well?

 

Found a couple of glitches regarding the Covet liveries.

1. The orange ZXi graphics of the 1.5 ZXi Special Edition are still not colour-independent on their own and they go away when dark colours are applied.
2. The colours of the Okudai livery are affecting each other. More specifically, the darker colours get a bit brighter.

 

Were the ETK-K gauges redone in this update? They didn't always have the vehicle information from the 800...

 

yes.

 

Odd. Try a clean reinstall

 

That actually looks pretty cool, like a Tesla Model X's glass roof thing

 

I have no idea what you guys did, but the new update literally made the game unplayable...It's either in an infinite loading screen or just crashes when I try to load a map...before the update, this was not the case :/
The error code is "0xC0000005 STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION"
--- Post updated ---
The update has also reset the settings -_-

 

Am i the only one that thinks the woodgrain in the barstow looks comical, too flat and without colour variations. Almost like a slab of brown instead of fake wood

 

Does the new Covet have a 5 door variant? Couldn't try the new update jet.

 

Nope, still 3 door only! Wish we also had 5 door hatch and 4 door sedan as well.

Bug?!: ZXi models don't have body colored trim, but description says they should have.

 

Nope, only the regular Covet and mid-engined Covet

 

Really liking the update. Apart from my personal distaste for red/green flashing cubes the Covet remaster is better than I thought it would be.

I am very surprised to see lower detail cars for traffic since it was already deemed unnecessary. But they are rather well done and if they help people have less dead maps it's all good. I did find some issues with them though: mainly their tires.

Some tires don't make sound when skidding, but more importantly they seem very slidey. I personally have usually increased grip for special traffic vehicles for speeding them up, but after driving all of the current simple versions they seem to lack grip. Couple that with not having any assists and a limited steering angle and the AI can be seen struggling to drive the modern ETKs.

I also made a small video showcasing some issues I found with the simple traffic vehicles:

As for performance with the simple traffic cars, I did not get much of a boost but I am GPU bound anyway so I expected that.

Another annoyance is the too many mods notification. Even after acknowledging it comes back every time I start the game. It should(and used to) disappear after acknowledging.
