Some Bug Reports & Suggestions

[Mr Pops Alot]

I understand that Car Tune is in early access, so due to that, it's prone to bugs. And man I have a lot of them to report. Better to report them earlier in development than later when you have more content out and a wider audience. I also have some suggestions to make this game even better.

Bug Reports

Game breaking and major bugs in bold

• Game crashes when hitting anything over 160kph, or at an akward angle. When the game crashes like this, it seems that nearly everything in the car explodes and detatches from the vehicle
  as if the game isn't punishing enough with crashing your car
  
• Glitchy damage system. Sometimes hitting something at 15mph does nothing, other times it destroys your car, and if your unlucky, the game crashes
  
• Black screen bug while loading.
  Reloading the game a few times seems to fix it though
  
• Clicking on "Sell" or "Mount" on an item too quickly causes the game to not remove the item in question, allowing you to get infinite money
  
• "Add to Cart" text is in Polish, despite me having my language set to English
  
• AI is bugged, hitting them will cause them to fly off to the left (or right) and crash into a wall
  
• Putting turbochargers on the Frankman makes the car output much less horsepower than if you let it natualy asperated (Turbo: ~255hp, NA: 500hp)
  
• Turbocharger tuning does not save
  
• Springs for the Frankman either cause the car to look like it's lifted, cause the wheels to freak out, or cause the car to bounce, and hit something (with a chance that the game will crash)
  
• Exhausts have collision with the world, so when you crash your car (and survive), trying to drive away results in you unable to move since the exhaust hits the ground instead of the wheels.
  
• Suspension damage is permamant and is unable to be repaired. (Using the body repair tool does nothing to the suspension)
  
• You can drive (some) cars that have no engines
  
• Radiators do absolutely nothing since the engine can't overheat
  
• Wheels with no tires have no grip, therefore you can't move with no tires
  
• The AWD transmission isn't all wheel drive (it's front wheel drive), and it pokes out of the front left brake disc for the vehicles that can support the transmission
  
• Cars like to spin out when going at a straight line
  
• Your car seems to be slower than the AI's on the drag race, even if it's the same car with the same config
  
• Vehicles don't feel like they have the amount of horsepower they have reported on the dyno. A Jersey (which has ~250hp) feels like it has 125hp, and my tuned up Jersey outputs 750hp, but feels like it's only doing 400hp
  
• False starting at the drag race does not disqualify you
  
• Kilometer counter does not rise when driving the car
  
• Cars like to roll over when they don't have enough weight
  
• Your car randomly becomes inmune to damage without reason, with no known cause
  
• Crashing into other cars with the inmunity glitch at a high speed will make them disappear
  
• Shock absorbers in this game like to freak out and shake your car, which can cause your car to flip, roll over, spin out, or crash resulting in the game crashing due to another bug I reported
  
• Fuel Rail tuning does not save
  
• Using the brakes in your car causes your car to instantly shift into neutral
  
• Overreving your engine doesn't make your engine explode nor break.
  
• Cars randomly lose weight after collisions. Even after rebuilding the car, the vehicle will be lighter than the same vehicle if it wasn't involved in a collision
  
• You can't fit the oil pan in the I4 engine (if you build your own), which is strange because the default cars have it on
  
• You can't fit the registration plate nor any wings on the Jersey Cabriolet's trunk

Suggestions

• Optimize the game. This isn't a problem for me, but for the people with potatoes as PCs
  
• Less camera shake
  
• More music? Maybe ask somebody to make original music or get licenses to use them. (says the guy who plays his own music when playing the game)
  
• Allow selection of multiple parts in the inventory
  
• Make a setting that allows parts to be instantly removed from the car with a click of a button (much like in SLRR)
  
• More visual customization (so you can finally make that ricer you wanted to build)
  
• Races (to make money, and test your car against others)
  
• Garages (to allow you to have more than one car)
  
• Give us the ability to remove items from the cart without having to buy it and sell it
  
• Allow us to buy chassis of cars, so we can build a car from the ground up without having to remove everything from a car
  
• Doors, hoods, trunks, bumpers, and exhausts should open and/or drag to the ground when they are damaged
  
• Mechanical damage to vehicles (other than just suspension and parts flying off); ie: Engine damage, tire damage, damage to windows, etc
  
• More performance customization (engine swaps, race tires, performance parts for the engine, etc)
  
• Aren't the Golf and Colerado both made by VW, then why do the game versions (Jersey and Corridor) have different manufactures in this game (either that or it's based off another car that's not made by VW)
  
• More random cars. Have ones that have major damage, ones missing parts, maybe have a very slim chance to find nice performance cars that cost over 100K
  
• Wanted level system. Destroying police cars and evading cops should make you more wanted and more and faster police cars will show up to arrest and/or to destroy your car
  
• Anti-roll bars to mitigate the frequent rolling of your vehicle
  
• Allow for buying parts in bulk
  
• A tutorial, or even just a help page that states the controls
  
• Allow rebinding of controls, this will also indirectly be a tutorial as well, showing the controls
  
• This is an obvious one, but, more cars. A Golf, Colrado, 350Z, and (soon to be) an Eclipse doesn't sound like a strong car selection. A muscle car (Mustang or Camaro), SUV, or a basic sedan would spice up the car selection

This game has a lot of potential, and I don't want it to go to waste, especially with game breaking bugs that aren't patched yet

I would like to say (if not before), do better optimisation first of all!
I have not a "rocket" pc (i5 2500K, 16gb, gtx760), but barrely 30fps in garage with all settings to low/off is what stop me to discover more of the game!

edit: another thing in game, is there any solution (ATM) to restore a "twisted" chassis? cause when i crash, sometimes chassis twist and after throwing new suspension and all, i can't have the wheels in correct position!

Go to the body repair shop. There won't be any GUI, so you might expect that you can't do anything, but if you click on the car, you can repair the chassis from there. But a bug in the game makes it so that suspension damage is unable to be repaired by any means, so you can't repair this:

Edit: The chassis you can repair, but not the suspension

Thank you for your big bug/suggestions content. I'm appreciate that.
We are working hard on the game, that what is possible, after stationary job. Please be patient.
Now I working on vehicle physics, it's totally new and should remove some bugs with damage and suspensions.
Parts (engine, suspension) technical damage are disabled at this moment.

Optimization... It's hard to say, I can't find more how to optimize game. The problem is in Unity HDRP - lighting/shadows render. more that 60% of the resource. Only what we can do is downgrade graphic renderer to built-in. Totally bad.
The same (HDRP) is problem with black screens. Newest version of the renderer are bad, many bugs and lower performance.

I'm focused on all gameplay aspects to reduce all bugs as possible, then will be more new/fresh content and car parts.

[Zizi ViolEt]

Thank you 2!
For lighting/shadows, is it possible to tweak a bit in the game files? Cause in-game settings change obsolutely nothing on my framerate...

Check if mirrors and reflections are turned off if yes, change it to OFF and restart game

Nothing better, barrely 30fps in garage :'(

Another thing, i put aftermarket suspensions on my car (not the same for front/rear), drive good but the rear keep bouncing everywhere when on the dyno.

I know about that bug, it's very weird. I working on new vehicle physics, totally new so will be it fixed in next update. It's hard work, please be patient

[Zizi ViolEt]

Great to hear it, i'm waiting to see the next update :)
So, i will be patient ^^

Thank you

Great game, obviously with time it will hopefully get better.
known bugs so far,
Paint shop needs work
cars need to have engines in the correct way
car entering back into garage needs to sit back on the ramp rather than fly everywhere and lose parts of it
suspension fixes e.g. 350z wont let me put front struts in
will keep on finding issues so they can be addressed at a later date.

overall happy with it.

Not sure if anyone had noticed this but every time I start the game backup all my tools but my flashlight disappear.

I was going crazy with this, thinking it was just me and maybe I was doing something wrong! But yes, absolutely, I'm experiencing the same issue too although as a newcomer to the game so I wasn't sure what to expect ^ ^;

Yeah I noticed this too you have to keep buying tools every time you load in silly idea that hopefully a fix is due made when the developer finally updates the game
