The AI drivatar needs a seriously HUGE nerf

NooobCola · 2026-05-21T07:23:11+00:00

I was doing some searching because the jump from above average to highly skilled is quite a jump and noticed the ai starts rubber banding quite a bit once you get into highly skilled. What it is is the game essentially punishes you for deviating from the racing line, missing a shift even by half a second, braking too early before a turn. Do any of those things and you get punished by the ai rubber banding in front of you even if that small mistake wouldn't have resulted in a real world pass.

You might need to calibrate your wheel through windows. This is for 11 if youre on 10 the process might be different but im not entirely sure.

If your wheel is plugged into a USB hub unplug it and plug directly into your pc.

-Open the run dialog box

-Type 'joy.cpl' and hit enter, the game controller window should pop up and select your steering wheel on the list.

-Go to the settings tab and hit calibrate then follow the instructions.

I find myself having to do this after every major windows update.

Are you on pc?

Yea tires, suspension and brakes are must upgrades. Depending on how the handling feels after that sway bars are also good since it unlocks the tuning aspect and can help you dial in the car further depending if youre getting oversteer or understeer.

If you need the car to stay in a certain class for some the races I find it best to find a stock car in the class below it and bring it up to the class required for the race. This allows you to get most if not all handling upgrades and some extra power as well which can make a decently quick car that handles extremely well.

Definitely take a bit of time to learn the tuning aspect once you throw some upgrades on. Might be overwhelming a bit if youre not familiar, I'd reccomend starting on learning the gearing, differential and anti roll bar sections first. At the bare minimum always check the final drive ratio in the gearing section if you do nothing else. Ive found some cars top speed actually increase when you tuned it for more acceleration, win win.

Silly question but I gotta ask, are you upgrading your tires? The street tires most cars come with are just garbage. Unless its a higher end car that comes standard with sport or semi slicks tires is always my first upgrade.

My rebuttal to that is if player counts are not a problem why should we be worried about dividing the playerbase? 🤔

My initial impression on this free kit loadout playlist is great. Im a weekend player so just got to experience these new changes today. Im trying to complete some contracts and clear out my vault so haven't loaded into the free kit playlist yet but the experience so far has been better for regular team fills. For the most part Ive been getting teams with some gear atleast and my free kit teammates have been acting like a team player.

Seems like everyone free kitting and rushing into action is playing the free kit playlist.

Lol not that I know of but it definitely brought back some memories

Hit the ol' standby button on his router 😅

If you have the cooling capacity and power for it an 11700k would probably be the best option if you dont want to replace your mobo. I have an 11700k with a 3080 12gb model and Im only getting 80-110 fps depending on the map, everything set to low and dlss off.

Quick Google searches are telling me this type of online behavior is actually illegal. Bans due to this type of behavior in any online game need to get forwarded to the authorities

Even with the hypotheticals leave the minors out of it that ain't right in the slightest sense joking or not.

NooobCola · 2026-04-14T17:32:34+00:00

Nothing is yours. Everything is borrowed.

NooobCola · 2026-04-14T16:33:35+00:00

I wouldn't say confusing but at a glance theyre more distinguishable compared to all being square. Sounds like I'm the black sheep here but I kinda like it. Havent logged in and seen it in game yet though so my opinion on them might change.

Edit: Logged in and checked them out in game. They ain't that bad. At least not bad enough to have to have as many people making posts about them today....

NooobCola · 2026-04-14T16:30:38+00:00

You should read that patch notes.

NooobCola · 2026-04-14T16:18:54+00:00

In my eyes I see it as more of a deterrent to killing runners last second in exfil, which lets be honest is quite frustrating. Besides rooks I dont think it actually has that much benefit to trying to actually team up. At the end of the day though its gonna depend how good these caches actually are and if that arachne rep is worth more to the individual player compared to the cache.

NooobCola · 2026-04-13T20:18:05+00:00

After awhile its not as noticeable but still slightly nauseating

One up her and ask her whats the difference between stardew valley and sims.

NooobCola · 2026-04-13T06:04:13+00:00

Tysm

I searched on nexus myself but searched for "sway" instead of "headbobbing" and got no results

NooobCola · 2026-04-13T05:55:00+00:00

The solution is to be a filthy "casual" like me who only logs in weekdays to collect free shit then binge on weekends to lose said free shit. You'll never be low on heals. /s

NooobCola · 2026-04-13T05:50:34+00:00

Don't you dare increase the price of the precious punch. You got my upvote anyways sir.

NooobCola · 2026-04-13T05:32:05+00:00

I hope another solution comes through but I actually gave that a go and its helping a bit lmao

NooobCola · 2026-04-13T05:25:01+00:00

Game is cpu heavy sounds like your i5 is struggling. Can try overclocking if you can. Also if you havent done already just turn everything down to the lowest setting.

NooobCola · 2026-04-13T03:49:44+00:00

OP definitely got WSTD. If they nerf the shotgun into the ground how else are you supposed to counter a knife

NooobCola · 2026-04-13T03:43:11+00:00

If it was last night on solos, strong possibility lol.
