User Interface Feedback Thread

Another useless and unnecessary change that they won't revert. The vehicle selection menu is nicer though, so that's one thing they managed not to screw up.

 

It works much better this way on controllers though, although having separate keybinds for open and pause and open without pause would be ideal

 

I only use the controller to shift up and down with the O/X buttons when I'm using the steering wheel on a manual car because I don't feel like getting a shifter yet but still want some immersion. Other than that I use R1 for the handbrake. Everything else is used for the keyboard. Noticed the trend with these past few updates is them removing options for people. Not sure which new hires they have who hate that idea because it was never like that before this past year. If I really wanted to pause the game, I would press the J button like usual.

 

Most people prefer only having to use the controller i would imagine

 

Is anyone else having issues with the top UI bar not displaying any tabs?

 

Thank y'all for fixing the game not unpausing thing. However, could you PLEASE add an option to disable it entirely?

I've played this game for sooo long without it being a thing, and the base way that I like to play revolves around the game NOT pausing automatically. And now it's very obtrusive and annoying.

I assume it exists for the career mode, which makes sense, however, for freeroam and even multiplayer, it disrupts a core functionality.

 

yup, cant access any of those menus

 

Well I'm not "most people" and I don't use a shitty controller to drive. I have a steering wheel for a reason. Just another reason I'm playing this less and less nowadays.

Don't expect these useless devs to listen. They've been removing options for the past year now.

 

What the hell is wrong with you? I've seen you insult the devs at least 5 times now, all over this pausing thing. It's not a big deal, get over it.

When a modder has to do something that the devs can't be bothered to, it's a big deal. And I don't mean to insult the entire development team, which contains extremely talented people who work on the vehicles/jbeams/assets/graphics/etc, just the useless peons/interns who unnecessarily screw with the UI functionality for no reason. I'm extremely grateful that the halogen lights in replays were fixed, and the new vehicle selector menu is another decent addition to the update. But doing shit like automatically pausing the game when going into menus without having an option to disable or configure it are the little things that drag it down. Same with the radial menu. I'm not the only one complaining about this type of stuff.

 

I don't have a lot to add, but I just wanna say.. THANKS for the UI update(s) this time around. Truthfully, on my ultrawide monitor, the Vehicle Selector was absolutely grossly oversized for the longest time and I hated it. I prefer my UI elements to be on the smaller side if anything, so this is a marked improvement.

Went from 3/4 vehicles in a row by default to 15. Even blowing up the display size to huge isn't as bad as it was before, lol.
Otherwise I can concur with what has been said by others above though. Surely a little bit of a deal if one goes out of their way to make a mod specifically to undo it. The automatic physics pause is weird & disruptive to gameplay. Better off being done away with.

 

Any idea if, for races, the option to select a previous lap for you to compare your time as you're driving? For example, I did a Race and set a pretty good lap time, but the other day I want to try again to see If I can do better and how much better I'm doing as I'm trying to break the previous record. Something like we have between multiple laps on the same "race", but with the best lap you clocked on that mission previously
