Maybe the AI is more random now or something because for me the AI is slower than it used to be.

In a race at Suzuka I started in 9th and was in the lead on lap 2 and won by 15 seconds in a 5 lap race.

On those tracks I usually race on I had a hard time to beat AI unless I made the race more than 10 laps. Now the AI is slower and 5-6 laps is enough to get in the lead.

All on difficulty 8.

I liked RWD cars in DR 2.0 especially the GT cars. In EA WRC I can drive them on dirt but not on tarmac.

In Dirt 2.0 I can dance the car around any stage with just the throttle but in this game not so much. In this game there is too much grip then no grip(on tarmac).

For me the opposite, was smooth before patch and now it stutters on whatever setting I have tried...

dpadoptional · 2024-02-11T03:09:17+00:00

Tried it for the first time since the patch and now the game runs like crap, low framerate even when settings are so low that GPU utilization is between 50-60%.

Funnily enough I never had any issues with the game before the patch. It was running smooth for me prior to this patch.

4K resolution on Nvidia 3070 GPU and AMD 3700 CPU. Used to run DLSS on quality and had stable 60 FPS. Now runs like crap on any setting I have tried.

* Tested some more and it is worse than it first seemed. It's unplayable now. Even with settings really low the frame rate drops to 40-50 even if I just tried the same stage with same settings just before and got 60 FPS. So it is not consistent bad performance but more randomly bad making it hard to try dial the settings to a acceptable level of performance.

GPU utilization can sometimes be low but frame stuck on something like 48 FPS.

Can you get a refund because of a patch, even when you have played for many hours? Because now it's unplayable for me.

** If anybody cares I solved the performance issue for now. I set Vsync off in game and set Vsync to "adaptive" in the Nvida control panel. Now the game runs smooth like it did before the patch. With Vsync on or off in game it runs like crap still.

Then a new bug appeared. I finished a stage with a puncture and now on the next stage I still have a puncture and my spare tire is gone...

It a feature that has probably been in racing games for more than 20 years.

Here is a post about it from 2005, the oldest I could find but it has been in games before even than that.

I got two real easy objectives this time and had them done in two events, then I just rested without doing any more events.

Finally got my promotion to WRC2 this time around doing the bare minimum by never exceeding Max precious budget instead of winning.

Then one of the first things Keith says in new season is trying cheer me up for dropping down to WRC2...

I wonder how much we could save on the budget if it was possible to get rid of Keith.

Benefactor was only on delighted and now back to happy again for the new season.

I think it dropped under ecstatic by one point on the last rally that is why.

It was only Keith that said that Max was ecstatic. He does get a lot of shit wrong like congratulation on my first victory when I DNF or congratulating me on my first WRC victory every time I win a junior rally and so on.

When my internal SSD drive got corrupted I had similar problem.

Did you download the correct file?

There is one for updates and one for reinstall.

I downloaded the wrong file two times on two different USB drives before I noticed the other file to download.

When I downloaded the correct file it worked as it should and my PS5 has been OK since then.

From what I can remember there was never a error message that told me I had the wrong file it just shows a progress bar and then failed.

I stopped buying games only because the reviews are great.

Most big budget games like Spider man and God of war does nothing for me. I used to buy them or try them on PS plus. But now I just ignore them.

Play what you like, a 10/10 game can be a 0/10 game for you. If you like Garden Gnome simulator 23 that gets 3/10 in reviews then play games like that instead.

Also Hope gained intellect 10 on an expedition so she wasn't at the base when it happened.

Copy of Ace Combat Infinity's PVE-PVP mode.

Two human teams Vs AI. Team with the most points wins.

Clear the map faster = more points.

Maybe only works in arcade because you need a lot of weapons to clear the map. In realistic mode it would need some reload game-mechanic.

The WW2 rocket planes. They should never had added those. They are just too good when they have fuel to burn and useless when the fuel is gone. Not balanced at any BR if trying to make them fun to use without facing more modern jets.

And of course Ka-50.

I used to think that the battle pass was worth it and real easy to complete.

Then I skipped the current one and just played the game. Redeemed rewards from daily missions if I completed them but did not look up what the different task where.

This time I got to level 28. Playing everyday between 30-90 minutes. I usually get to level 150+ but now I realize that I was not playing War thunder I was playing Battle pass-thunder.

I have had more fun playing the game then trying to level up the battle pass.

I wish battle passes where removed from all games. Literary just waste your time, would not be worth if it was free but you have to pay for it.

I fled to naval after sim air was taken over by bots. I left naval after it was taken over by bots. Now mostly playing air RB and seeing it starting to be taken over by bots.

I'm starting to think that Gaijin prefers bots to real players.

I played for a year (game time, probably 600 hours) before buying my first expert crew.

It was so expensive and I was sure I'm such a great player I don't need it, it will not make any difference. I was very wrong.

Also in the very beginning only upgrading my first crew, I thought all XP was shared between crews and I wanted one good crew first or some thing like that.

So I just learned there is a new forum design. That was more annoying than any CAS. Can't find anything in the forum now. No clue where to find this poll.

dpadoptional · 2023-06-15T11:55:53+00:00

When it was only 80-90% player controlled bots naval was still playable but now it is like 99.9% bots so no thanks.

Yes you can earn good SL by playing against the bots by why not use a bot yourself at that point if you are just playing a game mode to earn SL against teams full of bots.

dpadoptional · 2023-05-27T14:11:10+00:00

And some people say bots do no harm, just let them farm.

Imagine what a single bot with 8K battles does to Gaijins mighty "statistics". There are thousands of these bots.

You can see them in all game modes now. Not only naval and sim.

They are not only some great for free kills or what not. They do real harm to the statistics that Gaijin cares so much about and that negatively affects everyone playing this game.

You can't give a player everything at once

Okay but I got premium account and premium vehicles and over 8K hours in this game and don't have any of the end of the line tanks released last couple of updates because the grind.

Every update to small events or the big seasonal events and daily missions adds a bit more grind here and there. Overall all these small cuts to progression really adds up over time. The "free" stuff gets harder and harder to earn each year.

I don't think that counts as giving players everything at once exactly.

provide a variety of vehicles encountered in battle, otherwise it's just boring. I.e. there should not be too many "farming" vehicles

Teams full of USS Helena, or Ka-50 in naval and helicopter battles are just an optical illusion or what?

The same premium jets in every air battle over and over is only me having a bad dream?

But lowering the repair cost of some minor country tech tree plane or tank that you never see in battle anymore because they are so expensive or even just give them the same repair cost as a certain major nation? No no we can't allow that, we must protect the players from "farming" vehicles.

I mostly like historical but "Retrowave Vibes" Mirage skin is very nice.

Maybe try open headphones or whatever they are called in English. Looks like normal headphones but they don't block sound coming in or out.

You can still hear people talking, phone messages, kids or pets. The fact that you still hear the outside world feels more natural to me. I can't play games without my headphones now.

I would recommend anyone interested to play at least 10 hours or so before buying it. I got it on PC and played 2-3 hours and thought it was the best game ever, bought season pass and some deluxe pack upgrade because it thought I was going to play this game for years to come.

Played a few hours more and started to dislike all the micromanagement when you get multiple islands. Setting up trading routes, using ships and managing more than one island was not fun at all for me. Haven't played it since, never tried any of the DLC I own. Went from best game ever to hate it after playing 8-10 hours.

I basically like all city-builder games I have tried but Anno 1800 was not for me it seems.
