    @UP100 

    in your explanation we should understand ...that the problem is not solvable ? we have to wait for the PS5 ? ...whose latency ? the console ? the internet connection ? in my league we are 4 in fiber optics

    Whatever the reason, it makes the league game annoying, unrealistic, desperate,  And what would already be a plus is if codemasters could say "yes it's true, we see what you're saying, it's coming from this, we're working on it, we can modify it, we can't..." in short, they hear us and talk to us.

    So we get taken out by a stupid AI ...and we have to start all over again because the backup doesn't work...well...when we were only playing online with our friends...now it's dead or almost dead....

    Warning this message is not a virulent against you moderator and staff...just extremely disappointed by codemaster...

    I can only talk in a general sense as I'm not and never have been an employee at Codemasters. P2P connection stuff is also ridiculously hard for me to make alone at least, so my experience with it is... certainly quite low 😕 

    Basically in single player the AI will immeadiately know where you are, but in online the actions are often delayed because the machine that is running that AI's calculations get your positions later than what it would in single player.

    It's unlikely a new generation of consoles would really have an effect in this except in cases in which the console doesn't have enough time to send all of the multiplayer information, or do the calculations. Though latency is caused by many different things, most of which I probably don't know about.

    The most optimal setting for AI calculations would most likely be a some kind of LAN enviroment. There is an option for a LAN game on the PC version at least, so it could be tried there (though do note that it actually has to be in LAN, and not through Hamachi or similiar programs, as those cause even more latency)

    So, I must admit EGO3 has very ****** visual capabilities. DIRT3 had waves on water, DIRT Rally has plain texture. GRID2 had very distant LoD, GRID2019 has flickering shadows and trees in front of your car...

    These usually tend to have quite next to nothing to do with the engine in itself. For example you've also said the LOD is fine in F1 2019, no?

    but yeah. We don't know how the code is managed at all, and which parts of it are the engine, and which are game specific code. If only they would be using Unity... we could just read through the entire code (or at least with normal C# applications/games)


  3. Well there is always the ERS assist if you don't want to handle it yourself... as technically it's an assist they use in real life 🙂 

    I don't think I lose that much by having the assist on, though I tend to forget about it completely. Usually when I lose it's more due to my poor driving than the ERS 😁

    PEGI rating should not be a issue, as FIFA, which is also rated as PEGI3, has many questionable sponsors, such as Carlsberg, Heineken, Singha, Chang and or Lyft, in it.

    I dont know if you remember, but we had "We have to ask EA" as an answer to this question some years ago 😁

  5. Hey!

    Barry doesn't even work in a studio that develops GRID and so on. The Birmingham guys have almost exclusively worked on F1 games (+ F1 spinoffs) since they were acquired by Codemasters.

    Split screen was said to be in works for GRID ages ago, though I don't know if this will come out as GRID 2019 would then be the first EGO 3 game to have split screen as an option 😕 


  6. GRID 2019 is running on the same engine (EGO 3) as the following games:

    • F1 2015-
    • DiRT 4
    • DiRT Rally 2.0

    Though being on the same engine doesn't mean anything in the games is similiar, as what people usually see as the engine may be only developed for a single game/game series.

    F1 games are also developed by the Birmingham guys whose games are at times quite different from the Southam games in terms of features.

    #LikeNoOther Autosport, not 2019 😛

    Big question i have is what happens after Season 3... is that it, does the game get abandoned or will there be continued DLC, development and support so we get the game #NearlyAsGood

    It all depends on finances. DR2.0 at least has gotten 2 more seasons + 1 free DLC for people who have bought at least one season.

    Good point but dodgy coding!

    StartCrapCode

    Var Int EventCount

    Var Boolean PenaltiesOn

    Var Int LapCount

    Var Boolean FinishLineCross 

    Let EventCount =0 //should initialize to 1 to solve the problem you suggested 

    If LapCount>=70 OR RaceTime >= 120 

        THEN EventCount =EventCount +1

    Let PenaltiesOn =0

    Let LapCount =0

    If FinishLineCross =1 AND Car=LeadCar

        Let LapCount=Lapcount +1

         Let FinishLineCross =0

    If EventCount >=1 

       THEN PenaltiesOn =1

    EndCrapCode

    It can't be as easy as that surely @1512marcel?

    😎

    PS CrapCode is only an example please do not use in a real world application. I shall not be liable for any subsequent armeggedon like behavior resulting from use of this CrapCode. 

    Forgive me I wish I'd never started this but I did so there. 

    I haven't really understood what I should get from this "code example"... 😁

    Minor? Water effects were almost the only visual effect GRID could be proud of. And now even it is gone.

    Though it's still minor, even if it was the only good thing in the game 🙂 Every game has graphical bugs as small as these, such as rF2 had heat haze broken for ages which meant that you had to go and disable it completely if you didnt want to look at a horrible circular thing.

    It's great that you worry for the game, but I think there are significantly more important issues than this, though that is obviously only my opinion

    E: And no, it doesnt mean you're not allowed to speak about it. It's just weird that this has somehow caused people say this is somehow insane 😁 Also I can't remove that grin...

    @UP100

    is the CM team doing something with those trees or overexposed sky? could you confirm there will be some update with seasons? are they interested about that or just they arent?

    I'm afraid you'll have to ask Codies about that 🙂 I forgot that people cannot see my signature on mobile. 

    Most likely they're doing small adjustments between builds at least.

    Maybe it's a bug? Perhaps "the team" will fix it? 😂

    Well I'd say it's a bug if we consider a bug something that was not meant to happen from the developer's perspective.

    I'd say most likely some change has had an unnoticed effect on it... or the current version of it is from a different build, as builds are always evolving and sometimes it's hard to keep track of them 🙂
