Low speed physics are now fixed! Cars suspension reacts properly to stopping.

Some more AI screenshots. This is from the supercar race...

Been a long time since I raced an ai, was fun.

peahead · 17 Jan 2014 at 19:40

I set AI to medium and found them pretty tough to catch after 5 laps i only came 7th place

and i thought i was going some to

My framerate has completely bombed since the update. Changing graphics settings doesn't seem to make a great deal of difference

Borsch · 17 Jan 2014 at 20:20

My fps remained locked at frame limiter - 90fps on same settings with the 11 cars on the grid in front.

This is the rest of my evening sorted!!

Just tried the Fiat 500 race on medium and came second the AI seems pretty smart although they do seem to hit into you sometimes when a real driver would give way.

I've only done a couple of races but I'd say that, at the moment anyway, the AI behave similar to what you'd experience when racing online on a public server, rather than simulating 'proper' racing drivers.

Too many mistakes / late braking / barging happening.

Then again, if that was the feeling that Kunos was going for, well then they've nailed it

And I'm not sure if anyone else here is getting this, but with the latest build the 0.5 second pauses / freezes increase dramatically when racing against the AI.

I've always had these freezes with every AC build. Even with the tech demo. Might try a reformat over the weekend to see if it helps.

Thought same with the AI they're a bit messy but I quite like it it's certainly good fun.

Also never had a single crash from 32 hours of gameplay seems really stable to me.

Neer had it crash either. Just that the game pauses / freezes randomly for half a second every 2-3 laps(without the AI), or every 15-30secs (with AI).

There's a small thread on the AC forums regarding it, and it's been an issue for a few people since the tech preview.

Borsch · 18 Jan 2014 at 01:52

Never had any stutters or freezes with AC, not before AI not now. 100% smooth in game, between menus etc. Support forums should help, but a quick game reinstall is probably a good idea.

Performance is great for me (GTX680 @ 2650x1080) although I've always has some minor micro stutter like jitter (not in the multi-GPU sense) but no freezes. This is with an expanded grid of 22 cars at Monza.

Not sure I like the updated tyre model though.

Same, runs like a dream! Just wish my driving was as smooth lol

Take that back, it is sometimes correct, somtimes it is not. Still buggy.

silversurfer · 18 Jan 2014 at 14:50

Game has saved me a lot of money, have taken a F40 off the shopping list. It would surely kill me if it drives anything like the game

Borsch · 18 Jan 2014 at 17:31

Yeah its tiny 1980's brakes were certainly not great

Braking takes for ever compared to the new 458.

richiesimms · 18 Jan 2014 at 17:58

Loving the dtm e30. Still rubbish with it, but its so sexy using the gearstick like a real car.

ThereIs0nly0ne · 18 Jan 2014 at 18:10

Custom race with a grid of 22 McLarens:

I agree! My favourite car in the game- both the M3 and the DTM versions

Video of decent driving around highest difficulty AI. It's not perfect but its clear already that this will not be "we will wait for you and make sure that you will win" Gran Turismo 6 kind of AI.

I also like that it makes mistakes, like in this vid @3:03 AI nearly flips the car by cutting the curb a bit too aggressively. Love the suspension physics of how it then bounced about finding grip while still turning, right front wheel in the air

Suspension is still not the final version but looks really nice.

Gran Turismo 6's AI - this guy lets the AI drive away at the start of the race, drives the other way, does some dipsy doodling, then starts after the AI, catches them and goes 1st, drops back from 1st to last, overtakes them all over again and wins the race.

WTF? Seriously, PD? Seriously?!
