Car Glitches - Screen Freezing
New, UrgentPublic

Description

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 - thank you!). Even so, I don't really want to return to the game until vehicles are actually useable. It was so frustrating to spend time building up 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 after losing our 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. This 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 travel 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! We dropped out when Livonia was released because we didn't see a point in buying the new map when we wouldn't be able to explore it effectively.

Additional Information

Driving at lower speeds seemed to help prolong the length between screen freezes, but it would still happen every time when driving a vehicle.
