    Hello

    I am noticing a series of new problems with the automotive simulator 2. I thought they were bugs but it seems that they are not and some come from pc2. For example there is a sudden freeze or lag in the race.

    However (and the reason for the thread) is that I also find some very annoying bugs, such as that with the f1 with halo (I think they are called ultimate) in the exits I overtake more than 10 cars because the AI makes the exits very slow Then in the race everything is equal in level and it is more complex to overtake.

    I've mostly seen this exit overtaking as a corner-specific issue. One example would be the uphill right-hander at Ex-Mühle on the Nordschleife. That's always an overly reliable overtake spot.

    I'm hoping that the big AI balance pass in the 1.3 update will change some of this behaviour, but it will probably be an ongoing improvement based on player and tester feedback over time.

    10 cars is a lot though. In my experience overtaking 10 cars at once means that I'm either at a too low AI skill level, or there's a pileup and I got lucky.

    Edit: There's also the possibility that it's car-specific, yes. Or a combination of car and track. I haven't driven the F-ULT properly in a while.

    This is your CPU or GPU bottlenecking. The reasons could be varied.

    There is some kind of bug with the FUltimate AI, they keep slowing down or stopping completely in the middle of a race.

    EDIT: You can dislike my posts all you want, Dr. Saltracing, but it's the truth.

    "This is your CPU or GPU bottlenecking." Im playing in race with 70 min - 90 max fps...

    ""There is some kind of bug with the FUltimate AI" It will be fixed?

    Doesn't matter. The way the Madness Engine is implemented the fps will remain largely constant even if the CPU/GPU can't keep up, it just starts skipping frames or slowing down the physics of the game.
