I'm about to give up on getting decent performance on pCARS... running quite low settings and still, when there's other drivers on the track does it crap out and drop to below 30fps.

Maybe there's something I'm missing, but perhaps I just bugger off the career mode and just TT my way around the game.

 

[Darksim]

Yes and it's *orgasmic*. However, you need a very old version of Dolphin. One of the devs broke Skid's output slider only a couple months after he fixed it in 2013 and never repaired the forces. Now, if you try to play F-Zero GX the force feedback effects will be reversed. I opened up a bug ticket about it recently so it's at least in their bug queue.

A few months ago I edited the Dolphin source to reverse the default ffb direction so that it would work with my T300, and I recently compiled a build of 5.0 with the change as well. Am I allowed to link the build here? This seems like a more ideal place than the Dolphin forums.

I posted about my changes there in a thread where a T500 user had the same issue, but for him setting Dolphin to square force fixed the issue, while it didn't for me. At the time I didn't see anyone else mention having my issue so I didn't bother sharing the build, and Skid responded saying he would look into it, which I guess still hasn't happened yet. I did however just find your recent post in the original Dolphin ffb thread, funny stuff.

I think Logitech wheels are okay with the regular builds since they use the opposite ffb direction. My Momo Racing's ffb works perfectly, though it's just about impossible to turn the wheel fast enough to keep up with the game.

ATI cards and pCARS don't seem to work well together - https://steamcommunity.com/app/234630/discussions/0/613957600528900678/

Perhaps the new RX 480 or even the GTX 1060 would be a good upgrade - not just for pCARS but also for what's coming to the PC in the coming months from MS and other studios.

I think I've seen that thread And yeah, I only just bought this card (second-hand) towards the end of last year... not keen on getting rid of it anytime soon. Plus the cost :/

I hear you on the cost.

Given the GTX 1070 retails for $700+ AUD (OzBargain tells me $600 AUD delivered from Newegg/Amazon) and the RX 480/GTX are around the $320-$380 AUD mark, upgrading just got a whole lot more expensive

A guy I work with used to be a store manager for one of the PC part retailer and as always it's the distributors that really fuck us over down here; thank Christ for parallel importing

Just submitted a refund request for pCARS on Steam. Noticed I only had 1hr of play on there (I'm sure I've messed around with it more than that) so figured I'd just do that. No regrets at all, I'd gladly forsake a game with a proper career mode for one that has far better feeling cars (thanks AMS, AC, rF2) out of the box and runs at a decent framerate.

Now I can put that money towards Doom

pCARS is supposed to be okay on the PS4 should you own one. Unsure about the Xbox One - I believe it has major frame rate issues.

Doom was quite cheap on the weekend through GMG - $28USD from memory. Played the demo; felt like Halo than Doom to me. Saw it running maxed at 1440P on a GTX 1070 - shits all over the Xbox One version.

Wait, are you serious? It's just my opinion, man. Honestly, I'm tired of all that SMS BS, "oh, now this time it will be good", and never is! They're like the Molyneux of the racing genre. Good for you if you are having fun with it, but you can't possibly say that PCars is a polished product.

It's not polished at all in some key areas, but it's not 'shit' either. It's a solid PS4 game that launched with a number of deficiencies, and only some of those were rectified. But simply dismissing it as 'shit' does it a huge disservice. It actually exceeded my expectations for what was possible on the hardware.

 

[DD]

This adaptive AI on RaceRoom is getting on my nerves. It works well by learning how fast you drive in a certain track. The problem is that when you're using a car/track combo for the first time, the AI is annoyingly slow, and it only learns from you during the races. They should start that at least during the qualifyings.

I recently bought the WTCC 2015 pack and created a championship with them, but it's boring to always sit on pole and disappear ahead of everyone in the first few laps. I'm not in the mood to have a whole championship just so the AI can learn my pace. I think I'll delete this championship and start a new one, setting the AI level manually. The problem is that the manually set AI is kind of slow on certain tracks too, like on RaceRoom Raceway, for example.

 

[terrible]

Yeah the dynamic AI can be annoying to train. It felt like they were getting faster than me by the end of races sometimes too which resulted in me getting rear ended at the end of races (I mentioned this earlier). In general I still think it has some of the best AI though.

Alternatively, they could set the AI on a higher level by default, and only then to increase or decrease its speed depending on how you play. =B

 

[TylerDurden4321]

I didn't notice any major framerate issues on Xbox One PCARS. Image quality isn't great however.

I did. It's rare, but Rain + AI is not good, at least kinda steady though.
What's really bad is some tracks in the morning or evening. 90% of a lap feel "solid 60" and then BAM, crepuscular rays through a tree, and it dips to ~30 with stutter or so. They also never fixed the over-rev "scratched CD" sound-bug or the "wait over a minute(!) to go one menu tier back to the title screen from the options menu"-bug (I know about the workaround, but common).

I certainly don't hate the game because some, uhmm..., a few cars feel great and the track selection with rain, mist, beautiful clouds and full ToD is absolutely amazing, but I do feel bad for having paid 100€ overall on it with the XB1 limited digital edition and re-buying it on PC in a steam sale 10 months later.

 

[Effect]

I should have kept AC in my cart during the steam sale. I figured Forza Motorsports 6 Apex would be enough. However now that I have faster cars unlocked the performance is dropping. Never had that when I tried out AC in the past or even with Project Cars when I tried it and this is on similar tracks between the games as well.

Guess I'll have to wait for AC to go on sale again. No hesitating this time.

Man, I love this car. Do you have the others in that DTM '92 pack? If so, how do they compare to the bimmer? I have the E30, but on the Touring Classics, and I've tried the DTM Merc, and it's also awesome.

 

[Shaneus]

RE: pCARS on PS4... I'd buy it, but I don't have a wheel and while I have the GIMX setup running (somewhat) with my PC, from what I saw with the game it's really just not worth it.

I'd kill for a quasi/half-arsed career mode with AMS though. Even the one included with AC is enough to calm the shakes, and that's about as basic as it gets.

Yeah, the career mode on Pcars also let me disapointed. I mean, if you do a season in GT3, for example, and for the next season you decide to do another GT3 season, no matter if with the same car or not, you'll have the same tracks in the same order and the exact same time and weather patterns you had on the season before. I wonder if one day we'll have a propper, exciting and well polished racing sim. I'm currently on Grid Autosport to scratch that itch, although it's not really a sim.

I would just try all of the DTM cars and see if any of them stand out to you. I just drove them all around Zolder for a few laps each and here's a short rundown on what I think. All with the exact same setup, too.

Mercedes: Definitely a wild machine when you get on the power. Slides were controllable for the most part, braking was solid and the car felt good through the turns.

BMW: The M3 is the tamest of the bunch for me. It's very forgiving with the power and the brakes are predictable and rarely lock. I can't really get the M3 to slide unless I really want it to.

Audi: The Audi is great on the power and super planted around turns to the point that it didn't want to break traction at all. However, the brakes were terrible to me. They lock under the slightest of pressure which is terrible on my DFGT pedals.

Mustang: Probably my favorite of the bunch. Sounds the best and controls about equal in power, handling, and braking. It'll get loose but it will follow through with your intended action with a little finesse. Brakes are great and it feels planted through all the turns.

Opel: My least favorite of the bunch. It had the same brake problem as the Audi but without the benefit of being super stable in corners. It didn't like my corrections very much to slides and I felt it was just no fun to drive.

Oh, I wasn't expecting this level of detailing, haha. Thanks, nice roundup!

The M3 is the sweetest, and I loved what I felt with the Merc when I tested one. But I was more interested in that Opel, cuz that model was produced and realeased around here too, so it's a beloved car. Sad to see that it kind of sux. That yellow paintjob is sexy.

Oh my...comments on pCARS for the PS4 and Xbox One may have upset the apple cart. Let's not decend into the comments sections of VirtualR and bsimracing gents.

Mascot loves pCARS it seems and good for him if it's the game he's after. Same for you too if you didn't like what SMS released; FWIW I know a few people who are disappointed with pCARS and are tired of the SMS mantra of 'it'll be fixed in the next game' - vote with your wallet with their next release and move on.

Who knows what might have been if SimBin/Sector 3 and SMS had stayed together...GTR 3 most likely!

The problem is that when you're using a car/track combo for the first time, the AI is annoyingly slow, and it only learns from you during the races. They should start that at least during the qualifyings.

Welcome to the world of a dev trying something new then realising that it takes a lot of time for 1 out of the 11 people working on R3E to polish the adaptive AI to an acceptable level. At one point in the WIP build we had AI that would randomly overshoot corners, cause the car to squirm under heavy braking and get some cars loose under full acceleration (I've seen this in AMS with the F1 cars quite a few times) - the AI felt alive and then it changed again

Internally Sector 3 recognise they haven't done a great job detailing how the adaptive AI works and how to train it up to be as fast or very slightly faster than the player. Rread the following for a great example of how to train the AI: https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/the-new-adaptive-ai.5013/page-4#post-70837 and a 23 minute video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvxG9CEs87E

I don't love pCARS, but it's the best game of it's type on consoles. I've had an overall positive experience with it but I'm not blind to its faults and deficiencies. It was probably too ambitious, but does deliver racing thrills and an authentic race weekend experience, which a lot of similar games seem oblivious to.

 

[marvelharvey]

rF2 and AMS have solid AI; R3E is getting better but still way to happy to punt the player off.

In the latest version of rF2, one superb addition to the AI (which as usual, ISI failed to add to the changelog) is the ability to set AI strength/aggression on a per-track bases. No more having to switch between 108% at Quebec, 101% at Silverstone and 96% at Croft for me.

 

[saladine1]

Have to agree with Mascot. pCars gives me that authentic race day feel and atmosphere. I'm a single player type of guy and CARS is the only game for me to experience a grueling and nerve wracking race whereas other games I tend to just hot lap.

I'm hoping CARS 2 will be even better in this regard...

ISI didn't document something new? Colour me surprised!

I've been driving the latest version of the URD EGT paid for mod which has been great fun in rF2. URD are supposed to have an update to their PX mod (Le Mans prototypes) in the near future, along with a new T5 (DTM 2015/16) mod; the AC versions are updated more often (I own all the URD mods for both sims) but I find the rF2 version more rewarding to drive. ASR have some great mods too; their F3 car is brilliant fun and the only car one has to pay for.

Shame these mods is let down by the quality of many non ISI tracks. The latest version of the Le Mans circuit (MotoGP short circuit) shows what can be done by modders. I wish Feels3 had time to return to rF2 as his tracks were damn good too.

PCARS has better graphics, and has an interesting career mode. AC has better physics, and is good for quick online races. Both good, but they have different priorities, so it depends what you're looking for.

A good summation; pcars has changeable weather and full day-night-day transition making it, along with rF2, the only modern PC sims to have these features. AC may get weather that can be changed but not dynamic.

It will be interesting to watch the reaction to AC by console owners.

 

[Big Takeover]

I tried a little program which someone made that analyzes your replay file, and then plays TV director complete with overlays and camera cuts. It spits out a video file after...err.. several hours! It's a great idea, but it's somewhat half baked. Still, it was nice to not have to do any editing whatsoever.

I think I'll try capturing the live stream next time.

I don't love pCARS, but it's the best game of it's type on consoles. I've had an overall positive experience with it but I'm not blind to its faults and deficiencies. It was probably too ambitious, but does deliver racing thrills and an authentic race weekend experience, which a lot of similar games seem oblivious to.

Honestly, this is what I'd want. But the performance on PC with my GPU just didn't fly and was actually intolerable compared to how well every other driving game runs.

Shame, but I'm hoping that VERY soon this will be satiated when F1 2016 rolls around. Really excited about that, and now that the guy who headed a lot of the initial games has left Codies (I forget his name, but he was incredibly arrogant) I'm feeling pretty confident about it.
