Weird shadows on the side of the Wheels

Hi Everyone,

do you know, how to get rid of these weird shadows on the side of the wheels?
They look awful and take away the immersion a lot for me. I would say, that they were gone a few updates before, and are now back, but might be just the time and weather conditions I drove in.

Anyway, any recommendations are welcome.

 

Ask the modder of the vehicle?

 

Can confirm what you wrote with the corners. I mean mostly on walls, will do more screenshots tomorrow and ad my settings. Thanks for your quick reply.

Appears on original Cars too.

 

not a bug. it's an artifact of the graphics engine, or at least an FX for the shadows that... well it looks good in some contexts. And yes, it's been there since pCARS1

 

The shadows in this game never look good in any context unless you have a beast of a machine and can run super sampling at the highest possible setting. These little things just kill immersion. And in the case of the walls at Bathurst, are super distracting across the top of the mountain. If it's unwanted and not natural, it's a bug IMO.

 

that's not how words work. That's also not how game, film, or VFX development work. Source - am VFX and game developer.

I'm glad you said "IMO" because opinions are like buttholes. Everyone's got one, and most stink.

 

Immersion breaking how? You drive from the chase cam? Or are they from cars you are following?

 

Yeah, immersion breaking, because it looks strange, if those shadows appear on the cars in front of you, where such shadows should not be. I drive from the cockpit view, but the shadows are there too.

 

@Marius H
Here are some more screenshots. Took some original cars i drive often and where i find the effect is noticeable the most.




My Settings:

I tested, if there is a difference between MSAA and FXAA, but the shadows are visible with both.

 

I play with this game engine since Pcars1. Never ever noticed this. So it is not an immersion killer. At least for me. I can imagine that it is for you, once seen it is probably hard to unseen.

 

Sure, if you don't see such effects, it couldn't break your immersion.

 

Yeah, it is a bit of a contradiction

 

Quite frankly, I could care less how video game development works. As a developer, your definition of what constitutes a bug is obviously different than mine, and probably most non-developers. All I know is it looks like shyte and should be fixed.

 

Stay objective guys, i saw this issue and created this thread. Marius will hand it over and hopefully it will get fixed, because yeah it looks not good, but the overall experience is still very good for me.

I see no reason to act like little children here. Criticism/Bug reporting is necessary, but keep it constructive! If you do not like how the game looks and how the Devs react to your criticism, i think, everyone is free to leave.

 

@Marius H
Just to let you know. The Bug is still present in the current build. Any Information on a solution to this issue?

 

See above: Weird shadows on the side of the Wheels

 

Can confirm I also have these...... and I run with shadows off. Would be nice if they get fixed sometime.
