    I have this bug with the dynamic reflections on ECU when I spawn two cars:

    2015-04-01_00001.jpg

    Only one of the cars has reflections. If i switch to the other car I will get reflections on it, but the other one will lose it's reflections. Anyone? I have this on ECU, no problem on Grid Map.

    I noticed that, too, strange. Probably for optimization purposes.

    It's the way it works. Only active vehicle has reflections while the others switch to the default static one.

    It's for performance purpose, but it will eventually change to make all vehicles share the same dynamic cube map.

    I'm not seeing them at all. Yes I have them enabled, and yes I configured the settings that fit my computer. I'm on the same map as OP as well as the same car.

    Clear cache. You should do that first whenever you have an issue with a new update.

    I've cleared the cache and got a similar problem, sometimes dynamic reflections just don't work and instead of using the old cubemap, there are no reflections at all.
    I'm leaving them off as default so all cars have the old map reflected. It looks a lot better anyway, I don't like the new "chrome" look everything has with the new reflections, car paint is not a perfect mirror.

    @cbrider I think it's pretty spot on

    Thing is (IMO), that cars are not SuperSmoothed models like in GT/Forza, so when they come to reflections, you see artifacts due to their polyflow.

    Guys, do you know how to revert to the old reflections?

    On some maps the cars don't have reflections at all.
