But for the legions of motorsport fans who have been glued to virtual racing as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, Project CARS 3 comes at the perfect time. They’re not words that have impressed the sim racing community, who loathe the suggestion of anything close to the idea of “mainstream”. “Simulation has a reputation for being a bit self-serious, or being difficult to get into, but it shouldn’t be that way-racing a car around a track in real-life is a thrilling, exciting, visceral experience, and simulation should be a reflection of these qualities that make motorsport so enthralling,” Barron said in an email interview with Kotaku Australia. I've definitely left out a lot so if I missed anything or you want to know more, DM me or leave a reply and I'll get back to as soon as I can.Slightly Mad Studios are pitching this as a “more mainstream game”, according to the studio’s Joe Barron, Slightly Mad’s esports and marketing manager.
Alternatively, look on the Xbox groups for leagues. OTL, AOR, SRL, FPR and Actrollvision are pretty well known, especially AOR and Actrollvision, so you can start there. It's competitive, it's fun and you get to meet new people from around the world. If you want to enjoy this game properly, I would suggest getting into league racing. Unfortunately, I don't know where I got these settings but I think it may have been from GTPlanet or AOR Forums. I make the car less sensitive to be smoother. I mostly only change it when I do Indycar races. The only thing I change on the controller settings is the speed sensitivity.
This bug used to be way worse and more prevalent in early 2018 but it is still around so make sure to always load up your setup before going onto the track.Īs for controller settings, I've been using the same settings for pretty much the entire time I've been playing. If you don't then it might load up another setup even though it says you already have a specific setup loaded. Speaking of glitches, make sure to always load your setup before going to track. Also, wheel users can get a combination of ice tyres and wheel shake. Haven't heard anyone complain about that in months though. Wheel users also get a glitch where their wheel shakes uncontrollably. It doesn't always happen in 13+ lobbies but it's pretty common.
Basically, if there's 13 or more drivers in a lobby, someone might get a glitch where their tyres have no grip and it's like your driving on ice.
There is a bug on both PS4 and Xbox One where you might suffer from what I like to call the "Ice Tyres" glitch. Pay attention to this the next time you get a stutter in multiplayer When someone joins the session, it stutters when they join the lobby and then I get another stutter when they eventually connect to the race. I don't know much about the career so unfortunately can't sympathise but I will empathise.įor multiplayer racing, the only freezing/stuttering problem I run into is when someone joins the session. If you have the original Xbox One console, you will run into problems.
My intent isn't to sh*t on this game btw I think it's a pretty good game on PC and maybe on PS4 Pro too, but I find the Xbox version pretty much un-enjoyable. Is there any way to fix/get over the various bugs/glitches/frame drops?ĭoes anyone have it on a SSD drive? Does it provide any improvement?
So, how can anyone enjoy PC 2 on Xbox? Is anyone (still) playing it, and having fun?
Last update was in 2018, so I guess we won't have another update/patch anytime soon.
The only game mode I could play is free race, with no more than 10/12 AI cars, no raing/night, but it gets boring pretty quick.Ĭars handling on controller sucks to make it at least playable you have to fumble through controller settings over and over again every time you switch to a different car. I don't get the point of playing time attack as the leaderboards are totally useless. I've tried many many times to give it another chance in the last 2+ years, but I just can't enjoy it.Ĭareer is (almost) unplayable to me: most races are in rain/night and in these conditions there are huge frame drops (in any graphics mode) and it's super annoying. As much as I wanted to like this game, I just can't.
