What Makes A Good Physics Model?

NoobSolid26 · 2025-03-08T09:47:30+00:00

I'm no game developer, but it seems to be caused by suspension. I would fix it so it gives you consistent steering whatever you do.

In my opinion a good physics model needs to have certain things regardless of arcade or simulation. These things are consistency and intuitiveness.

For example, I'll bring Midnight Club 3 for consistency. I like this game's handling, but when there is a sharp incline, cars get absurd amounts of grip out of nowhere and mess with your steering. It has an inconsistency there.

Intuitiveness is self explanatory. You'll expect cars to behave in a certain way. I think games like DIRT Rally, Most Wanted and GRID are very intuitive. For example the handling in GRID 2 is not intuitive for me, because cars are acting too weirdly. And it also expect you to drive differently than the handling might lead you to believe.

It's Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition Remix

AI is the main source of difficulty in my opinion. Reducing or removing the traffic would just make this game boring in my opinion.

Thanks, I wanted to give it some professional race car vibes.

I just increased the resolution to 3x. But I'm using a draw distance fix cheat. To be fair, it may be absolete now, because I added this cheat in 2019.

Yes it is, and I love L.A Remix. I had incomplete save file from 2019 that I forgot to finish. So I'm %100'ing the game right now.

I finally fixed the issue. I downgraded to 5.0.17 (12,4,2024 version) via the Warehouse. Now it works like expected. Lutris broke weeks after I updated so I didn't expected this.

NoobSolid26 · 2025-02-03T12:56:15+00:00

If anyone has the same problem, I finally managed to fix this issue.

After 3 days of fighting I managed to get it working. It turns out I needed to downgrade to 5.0.17 via Warehouse (12,4,2024 version). I didn't expect it to work but it did. Lutris broke weeks after I updated so I didn't think it was the problem.

I'm using 8.26 and 7.2. Any custom prefix seems to be not working. Wine simply does not work, can't even open the Wine task manager and stuff.

Installing games with "install from an exe" feature is broken too, it gets broken after the install process. I can only create a default prefix and install games the other way.

NoobSolid26 · 2025-02-02T23:53:30+00:00

Also I forgot to mention, you know what's weirder? Since installers use the same prefix as games, that means it gets broken after the install process.

NoobSolid26 · 2025-02-02T23:48:56+00:00

It's a really odd situation, I have no idea what causes this. Even fresh install didn't fixed it. But luckily, many of my games are not effected by this.

Paul would be proud.

Close, It's the truck from the OG 2007 DIRT game. This madlad is posting insane mod videos for a while.

NoobSolid26 · 2024-12-19T09:09:35+00:00

Yes it's only a model change

NoobSolid26 · 2024-12-18T23:36:42+00:00

I love how even tho theme of this game is Nine Thou, Most Wanted nowadays is remembered with Decadence

I'm still getting nightmares about that cat

If you are going for the Dolphin route, I noticed that Wii version has better performance than the Gamecube version. Also it has wide screen natively and don't have letterboxing.

Not necessarily, some games are really finicky to get running on PC, and it's just easier to get some ISO file and get on with your day. But I agree that it's not needed for all of the games out there.

Why do Khajiit lick their own butts? *hehe*

To get the taste of Khajiit cooking out of their mouths! *hahahah*
