If I could give 2 kudos to this, I would.

Let's give each other kudos and blow each other!

Everyone knows the game is buggy. For the most part, it's ok, however undeniably there are a few.

A more constructive post about a particular detailed time where you've been affected by a bug might be a little more helpful don't you think?
That way, Evo have something to go by when tackling them.

Everyone's complaining about the bugs, but no one's doing anything that could be even remotely helpful towards the situation.

LOL

After releasing three iterations of games with the same inherent problems (I don't count Arctic Edge as it is a different developer and different target platforms - therefore different) I'm pretty sure the developers are well aware of the bugs. However it's quite evident their development work focusses on commercial gain over customer goodwill.

So take your high horse and join a QA company but tell them you don't want a salary, you want to pay for the "priveledge" of testing. Because that's what you're insisting we do.

List me 3 GAME BREAKING bugs.
Go for it.

[InfiniteStates]

1.Getting stuck in a lobby that isn't progressing and quitting to XMB is the only way out.

2.Failure to remember special event completion status beyond a week.

3.Failure to upload times.

4.Randomly being respawned despite driving on a flat bit of road.

5.Being respawned mid-air between two buildings on Mile High Club.

6.Eratic physics.

7.Texture corruption of vehicle thumbnail liveries.

Indeed the AI is dumb. During the current Pro weekly challenge (Monster Truck Rising Damp) at the start of the race three AI vehicles drove striaght into a wall without even turning. Furthermore, I was able to get in first place thanks to a very dumb AI driver. He boost-exploded way to early. I came around the final bend to see a burned out hulk in inches front of the finish line, when I passed it, the camera did the whole slo mo view and I passed by it, taking first.

He did say... And capitalise the fact that he wanted GAME BREAKING bugs.

1. It is quite annoying yes, but does not mean the game is unplayable.
2. None of my special events have been 'forgotten' after a week.
3. Very few times have not been uploaded and it does not mean the game is unplayable when it does happen.
4. Again it is annoying but does not mean the game is unplayable and it doesn't occur that often anyway.
5. That is one place on one track and it doesn't happen very often.
6. It is an arcade game not a sim.
7. That hardly ever happens and doesn't change anything other than the look of the car.

Any GAME BREAKING bugs?

Very few bugs render a game unplayable. It is just a mechanic invented to attempt to render this thread moot, which it isn't. The first bug in the list does render the game unplayable when it occurs however.

I completed all 3 last week. Since the new set has arrived it now shows I haven't completed event 3. You don't need to check this forum hard to see a topic along similar lines either.

It renders it kind of pointless if you're giong for record times. Similarly there is a related thread on the first page of this forum.

Arcade games tend to lean physics in the direction of fun - not random punishment. I can understand why the physics spikes at times - I suspect they are using a Verlet system where they have reduced the number of iterations to a level of acceptable performance. However a side effect of this is reduced accuracy.

Or it could just be that they're not normalising something they should, or loading an identity matrix when they should. Without the code, I don't know, but that's what it feels like. Whatever the cause, randomly getting flipped or exploded is annoying.

Actually it's a symptom of bad memory management, which, if memory is writing out of bounds, which can have many weird and serious effects. Even to the point of corrupting your save file. It is a product of bad engineering.

Apart from sounding butthurt, you're still not giving me or Traxxas any GAME-BREAKING bugs.

Wanna know WHY i specifically said GAME-BREAKING bugs?
Because all of these other little annoyances are nothing big enough to bring the droves of people like yourself onto these forums complaining about the same thing.

If they were bugs that made the game less fun to play, or rendered it unplayable in someway then i could honestly understand; however you have come on here to repeat the same thing countless others have regurgitated onto this forum when only a fool could believe that a company like EVO would produce a game and not seek to improve it.

If you honestly believe it's all about money and no substance then you really know nothing about this community, its' mods, the developers behind the game and the kind of passion and family you will always find amongst them.

I'm getting sick of people like you badmouthing it all because it's not 100% perfect.
How can you even seek perfection? Perfection makes everything generic and reduces all instances of spontaneity therefore making a game a HELL of a lot less fun!

I apologise for ranting, i'm just rising to your idiotic bait.

Also, apologies to any mods who see fit to delete this; if you could be so kind as to not add it as another strike towards a ban, it'd be appreciated.
