Low fps on ps4 pro, is impossible to play (hard for eyes). Waiting for 1.05 version. That version of game is very raw. Why do you sell a broken product???

Thanks for the update, about the update, hopefully it will make the game play as it was intended and you can start to look at additions and possibly dlc. Cheers!

Nice one this will help the game play. Cheeky question how about a code for some free loot boxes as a thank you for helping you guys out with your bugs.

So I just finished everything and with your latest patch the achievement "Tooled Up" is not unlocking.. Got every item for the tank and nothing happened.. oh man. As you can see, I have all Items of the tank and got no achievement.. man, wtf  are you doing ? Talking about PS4
can you please hotfix this in the next patch so I will receive my achievement retroactive ? I even organized myself a disc version, but even with the old patch on disc it doesnt unlock retroactive. Man, this game is more fkd up than my last drug dealer.

I don't want to spend another 30 hours farming crates cause every new crate just gives me 50 coins cause of duplicates instead of even sometimes giving me a new skin or whatever. Holy shit I never had so much regrets for buying a new game, this will definitively be my last codemasters game, holy crap man.

Quality assurance is a foreign language as it seems.

Edit: and I did not even start to talk about your bad servers, which are randomly disconnecting people and closing complete games. I've seen more popups saying "Session closed" than active human players.

Goodmorning,
I bought Micromachines WS about 2 days ago and I have a problem on 4k resolution on PC. I can't set the 3820x2560, the max resolution that I can set is 2560x1440. If  I select the 3820x2560 and I apply, the game will sets on 2560x1440 all the times. I have 4k monitor and the right GPU. I tried to force it with Nvidia Control Panel, but doesn't work.
I need help to fix this.

Thank you,
DonCalogero.

Matchmaking is still a bit sketchy and can fail forcing you to either restart the game or return to the menu to reconnect. It does seem a lot better in general though.

It would be nice to be able to still leave matchmaking after it goes to game found and nothing happens after 30 seconds or so.

Thanks for the update.

I think there is a bug on the penalty -75%
I ran straight 10 races and still during the penalty.

Just installed on PS4. Can't enter Special Event or Quick Play modes without a PSN Plus account. Seriously? I am limited to Skirmish only without PSN Plus? If this is by design then this game is useless to me. I enjoyed the single player campaign in V4, but without PSN Plus, it just seems random races only in Skirmish mode only.

Since Fridays patch, the game waiting time is terrible, this was on PC Elimination mode in Ranked... we had to give up and could only get onto Races, there needs to be a cut off where the game will just start with AI if need be.

Please Please Please with next patch add multiplayer to race mode offline, It would be great to race with my friends and family.

[SonicPhoenix510 0]

Could you please fix the Quick Play? I want to just level up and get loot boxes, not just play Skirmish.

I've enjoyed this game playing with mates online (when we have been able to), however due to trophies not popping & seemingly unreliable criteria for trophies to be met, its slowly becoming a chore now. Levelling up takes an age, far too long for what it is! Loot crates are a pain & acquiring the coins needed for the more expensive items again is painful. Just make everything the same price 50-100 coins each? They are of no benefit in enhancing your gameplay so why make them expensive other than for the reason of my next point....

As trophy hunters mates & I are at your mercy regarding requesting patches etc to make trophies, retroactively pop or allow the required actions to make them pop easier etc, mainly because you may not be too bothered about this & ultimately will want people to play for as long as possible, hence Special Events only being every wkend, long grindy levelling with 1 loot box per level etc

This I understand in try to prolong the life of the game, but we are not asking you to 'give' us the trophy, but just make them work as they should?? The majority of players i'd wager are trophy hunters on this game & once the Platinum has been achieved the interest will disappear fast.

The next patch should address these issues I feel, as you did so in the latest one albeit, it may have glitched the Tooled Up & Paramedic trophies. I'd include Offline MP so boosting is an option for both trophies and levelling as for a game that has no SP to allow the above point to happen naturally, as i've already said it leads to frustration & the game becoming a chore.

Hopefully these requests/points are taken on board & improvements made.  

Cheers.

Its monday, is there a CM for answering this issue?

Nice one Christina. Lets hope the guys jump on it & help us out. Seems like it'd be pretty straight forward fix?? ;)

I just got the platinum, for me the tooled up trophy is not buggued, i used the ambulance.

[Fenne 0]

Yeah a friend of mine got it aswell. Seriously well played codemasters. Maybe rename yourself into "We can't code - masters"

So it seems like at least the tank does not unlock the achievement. Fix this please and get your shit together.

So me and my friends decided to play ranked matches to gain more loot crates (since paramedic trophy is almost impossible to get without special events). Anyway we won every match and got put into elite/platinum plus divisions. Then suddenly we are getting kicked out of every game losing 80 points each time which is double our winning and also getting deserted penalty bonuses. Sorry to say but your servers are terrible. I cant count the amount of times i have lagged out of a match its that many. Also the fact we get deserter penalty is making it impossible for me to level up! Me and my friends have had a lot of enjoyment out of this game, its a lot of fun! The servers are the main issue! Also please lower the requirement for paramedic to something like revive 5 team mates in a single game or change the amount it takes to earn the revives as i can barely scrape 2 in a normal game. How the hell am i supposed to revive 5 people with 1 revive? I have to wait till this weekend to stand a chance at earning it!

Edit: ranked is currently broken. Every match results in us lagging out, losing points and getting deserter bonus. Quick play isnt much better but playable at least

[EarendilLilros 0]

Really not happy with how many times the servers are kicking people including myself out of games.

Having been kicked out multiple times by your servers this evening I am appauled to find I have not only lost 240points and dropped down a rank, I have also been issued a deserter penalty.

Some of the trophies are difficult enough to obtain due to them being glitched or just too hard, but this little bug addition is making it almost impossible to progress anywhere. It is now happening on every ranked match so it is not possible to make any progress.

Please apply a fix which prevents loss of points and prevents a penalty being applied of a user is kicked out due to a server issue.

There are some image problems with something which looks like smoke coming across the screen at some points during the "Toaster Troubles" level - espicially on the table after you have left the toaster.

Finally boosted the Paramedic trophy last night. Cheers lads, had alot of fun obtaining it & managed to help 6 other people in our group get it too. One problem though was network issues for some as when the game froze or servers failed some lads commented on their PS4s locking up & having to reboot & we are all in different locations in the UK? I know the platinum has been obtained by a couple of people now & I have two mates who are very close, I just hope theirs pop too.
