Car Glitches
New, UrgentPublic

Description

When playing the game there are many glitches that occur. Most of which we have found a work for. We shouldn't have to find work arounds but we have because we like the concept of this game. So much so that I have been paying for a community server almost since I started playing this game. However there is no work around for the glitches regarding cars. Some of which are listed below.

  1. They freeze while driving which causes crashes because you lose control over where the vehicle is going. We have totaled many vehicles this way.
  2. The vehicles will actually start bouncing all over the place to the point that they become almost a flying car you have no control over. All while taking damage and also occasionally being totaled this way as well.
  3. While driving in 3rd gear the objects on the road did not render until I had almost driving completely past it. Which means both the driver and passenger died and the back half of the car was damaged.
  4. When the above happened (#3) the dead bodies were left in the seats and we had to drive with them until they despawned after we had already looted them.
  5. Any vehicle parked and left in a building is either immediately ejected and parked on the roof and/or moved in the building to another location. These cars are also totaled at that point.
  6. Newly found cars are already damaged to the point that they are totaled 200 yards from where they started from.

I really want to continue playing this game because I really enjoy it and understand that games have bugs, however this is getting ridiculous. The amount of time it takes to build a car vs. the amount of time it takes to total it for something out of our control. Please stop adding content to a game that needs to have the bugs fixed first. All of the new content is cool but we can't get to it because we are spending our time trying to rebuild things that shouldn't have gone away. Thus stopping me from wanting to pay for anything new or continuing to pay for a community server.

I quit playing back in December, mainly because of the vehicle issues (other bugs like inventory glitches didn't help, but I see some of these have since been addressed). I don't really want to return to the game until vehicles are actually useable. It was so frustrating to spend time building a vehicle (PS4 version all vehicles usually spawn with next to nothing under the hood, and also usually missing 1-3 wheels), only to drive it once, have the screen freeze, then finally unfreeze to find the vehicle kept driving straight off the road into an obstacle and totalled itself. This happened about 10 times, until finally we could not take it anymore. My friend and I couldn't explore the world effectively, or make loot runs to high-value areas without wasting hours running accross the map sans vehicle. We even tried only driving in 1st gear, which seemed to help a bit, but we still froze without fail and totalled the car every time. Totally ruined the experience for us. We see a lot of potential in the game and would love to return and play again, but the vehicle glitches are a deal-breaker for us. Being unable to traverse the map effectively ruined our experience.

Suggestions:

  1. Fix the vehicle glitching/screen freezing -- this would make the game massively more enjoyable. The screen freezing in particular was the main issue for us.
  2. At least make vehicles spawn ready-to-drive so we don't have to waste all our time trying to get them outfitted, only to have them glitch and get totalled within 5 minutes of driving them. This might be a good temporary fix until you can fix the underlying issues?

Hope to return to Chernarus some day soon!

To Clarify -- we were playing PS4 version. I see that the OS is listed as Windows 7 on this post, though it is posted in the PS4 forum.
