Car interaction
NOT GOOD

I spent 3 days getting a car to work only to have it not accelerate up a hill, and break down going backwards in drive to fall into a river. Have the engine break. My character fall off a cliff break their legs and die. FIX YOUR GAME!

I've vented plenty on these forums about cars in the Vanilla game, they are terrible. As for falling off a cliff there's an easy fix; don't fall off cliffs.

did you even change gear or fill the radiator up?

cars bug and go flying oftern but this sounds like driver error

As DELTA mentioned it sounds like user error.
Cars work just fine if the server has good fps and the connection between both server and client is fine.
Have you pressed the sprint button while driving up the hill? I have met so many veteran players not knowing nearly enough features they should know of after so many hours it's astounding. Also try to fall off a cliff irl and see if you don't hurt yourself.

This isn't your direct line to the game devs. This is a community forum, you are only talking with other users like yourself. No one here can do anything even if they wanted to. Perhaps try contacting Bohemia?

Here's the kicker; car is facing a 1 degree incline, put it in first, press W, AND sprint, and the ****ing thing rolls backwards before it will go forward. It's beyond retarded, and it's got nothing to do with server performance or anything else, it's a crap design mechanic, just like the crap mechanics of getting into, and out of the dammed things. Vehicles are the worst aspect of a game I love to play all the time, modders have tried to improve on them, and some have succeeded to a point, but you can have a V8 powered, modified Raptor on that 1 degree incline, and it will still roll back before it will go forward.

Since you've got me going, none of the Vanilla cars will go up any suggestion of a hill and maintain momentum in top gear if it's not on asphalt, even if you go flat out approaching an incline, you'll still end up in second gear trying to crest the hill,

DZ cars are NOT fine, they are beyond broken.

And as i always say and will always repeat. Stop repeating BS i already disproved two years ago.
Here's a 20° incline and i don't roll back. Step on the brake and give it some gas.
