Disconnecting online, and having an AI take over.....

Recommended Posts

Nice idea, but unfortunately it doesn't work in my opinion. 

Having been in a few online races, these AI cars have caused huge drama. Getting in the way of other cars. Coasting through corners. We even had a safety car out for 6 or 7 laps, as everyone was stuck behind this backmarker who had disconnected and was refusing to go past the Safety Car.

It appears this was an idea for league races, but even still it's league races that are going to hurt the most because of this feature.

It should at least be an option we can turn off or or, and PLEASE get rid of it for any distance under 25%; No one is going to disconnect from a 3/5 lap race, and go "Shit! I must reset my connection and rejoin that sprint race"

Thank you.

This is a nightmare! Always getting in the way and hogging the racing line. If someone disconnects just get rid of their car like the old games, or at least allow the feature to be turned on or off

Good idea. Bad implementation.

Have been lucky so far that I was either ahead of, or too far behind the AI car to even notice

Britpoint confirmed they will change this in a patch, so the AI cars will ghost after a player loses connection. Completely solves the problem :)
