Forced retirement/ ***!

Recommended Posts

This is ****.

After wasting hours practising for Canada the stupid game forces a retirement after about 10 laps I tried three times or more.

In traffic there was crash from behind that totalled the car somehow.

Then I turned on some assists and got clear of all  traffic and still the game forces a retirement with the car crashing in the middle of the track with no other car nearby.

It pretended that I had crashed, Why? Why is scripted that sometimes you can't finish the race. I wasted all that time practising.

So the car just stops, in the middle of the track and goes into black and whit with Jeff coming on and saying 'that looked like a bad one, tell me you're alright'. But nothing had happened.

Whoever voices that Jeff moron must get punched in the face a lot.

I think the visuals and sound and a lot of other stuff about this game is better than others but there is so much else wrong.

It is like the developers has brain damage or something. Now I am reluctant to go on if it is going to force crashes that aren't there and bogus wear rates and the countless other problems that make it impossible to finish a race.

That sounds exactly like your engine blew up. Is it worn down to almost zero condition before the race? All you can do I is put a new one in there. You will incur a grid penalty of course if you've done less than 6 races with it (I think 6 is the figure).

Thanks sloppysmusic 

you are correct I think.

I don't know much about that side of the game and it seems difficult to find out, but anyway I looked into setup and stuff and it was worn out components.

The handling model and feedback seems to have improved a lot since 1.09 which is good. Now I just need to work out all the details.
