Vehicle steering issues on certain textures
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When driving in certain areas such as on grass, on the beach, on train tracks or in a forest, the characters hands become jittery and the vehicle becomes hard to control.

In my experience trying to drive through a forest in the Gunter was almost impossible, character would randomly turn left/right extremely hard and force the car into trees, regardless of speed.

Issue seems to be most prevalent in the Gunter and Sarka, other vehicles function much better.

When driving on a road all vehicles behave normally.

Resolved for 1.22 update.

@Geez I understand that it might be overtuned or not animated very well, but I like the effect, that the uneven terrain would impact the steering and allow the player to "feel the ground".

If you have the time, could you please clarify, in what way the devs adressed this tickets subject matter?

I agree with freerider3434. Just like IRL, driving on uneven surfaces, like random "wild" nature, would definitely jiggle your steering wheel. Gunter, Sedan, Sarka were not meant for driving in forest or crazy surfaces anyway. That's why we build roads no ? All the grass, roots, soft spots, and other slippery parts, like moss, gravel, etc. would make driving a living hell unless you're in 4x4. That's why there's ADA, and Hummer. I never had any problems with it so far.

With that said, basic steering wheel support, when ? ;) It would be cool to be a dedicated "driver" on the RP servers. Especially if you're driving the bus the whole time or something...

Hello @Geez I'm playing on 1.22 stable and this issue is definitely not resolved.

It still feels as if the game is spamming or holding my A/D keys randomly.

I get what Freerider and WeirdXone are saying in regards to an aspect of realism but this definitely feels over the top and more like a bug, it isn't fun at all.
There's already enough reasons to avoid vehicles in this game and having your vehicle randomly turn into a tree/fence and break certainly doesn't help.
This wasn't an issue in previous patches like 1.18 or 1.19.

Do I need to create another ticket or can it be looked at again from here?
I have some more clips from 1.22 stable using the Gunter vehicle.

While watching these clips please keep in mind that I'm not pressing ANY buttons, this game is doing everything here automatically.
Having to constantly fight against these automatic inputs is really frustrating/tiring.
As you can see from 0:14-0:19 the car works fine on the empty patch of ground, but the second it hits the grass it starts inputting random A/D commands.

I wasn't aware this was supposed to be fixed in 122,
I noticed it was extra bad in exp
