Suicidal AI

[Brobby]

Hi everyone,

Solo game is fun! This is first statement.
AI should be a little agressive i think. But not to the extend of sacrificing their car to crash you when you are on the outside of a corner.
And it seems the last patch improved that behavior quite a lot, making some races hard to make at all in realistic damage!

Is anyone else sharing this feeling ?

A 122.5 Mb update down load can't really encompass a heck of a lot of glitch patching.
I'm not sure exactly what was patched, I saw that Cloud Save is enabled.
That's all I saw.

yeah, AI is super annoying with trying to pit you no matter the cost :(

[Brobby]

from what i tried, apparently they behave that way only if you touched them before, even a little

Ohh, they are so much in to revenge, no surprise then when 14 out of 23 ai cars try to pit and ram me on the first lap with how I drive XD

Yea, came here to comment on this and a few other stuff.
If you're on the outside of an 8-track turn, you're pretty much screwed. And I don't risk "slow in - fast out" corner tactics in this game because there's the 50% chance that the other car will ram the s**t outta me when it passes me.

I tried testing the AI on the big 8-track, driving slightly slower than the AI on the corners, and every other car slammed into the wall right in front of me, just missing me, it's ridiculous.

Half the AI acts like they just found out that I just f***ed their mom, and they're sitting there fuming with rage.

There's not many games where there are less a***oles online than offline.

In todays patch, the AI will spin out more easily when you "pit" them.
I read that in the patch notes.

AI is always aggressive, and protective of their position.
It would be too easy if they weren't coded as they are.

Except, they're not be protective of their postion. Instead they are sacrificing their postion and race only to take you out. There are two major things about single player that really bugs me in this game. This is one of them. Sure, make them aggressive, make them try to take me out, but not at total disregard for their own race. Also, it's clear they single you out and treat you differently compared to other AI (not the second thing I hate, more of an suppliment of the first). I like to play with the AI on expert to have competition that's tougher with better driving skills, not competition who singles you out to make it harder.

Oh, if you're wonder what the second thing I hate is, it's always starting at the back of the grid. With some races requiring you to pass 24 cars in a matter of two laps, on certain tracks, with expert AI, it's impossible to get first, unless you're extremely lucky and the first few cars wreck each other, which never really happens (looking at my supplimental first compaint, again). I really wish qualifying was a thing so you're not always at the back of the pack.

I'm seeing this behaviour in every race against the AI and its seriously starting to piss me off. Dare be on the outside through a corner and it almost inevitable that near by AI will spear into you and pin you against a wall or push you way off track. Sometimes they miss and commit suicide but teither way it's way overdone and extremely frustrating.

I would like to chime in on this and confirm all of the above since yesterdays 6/29 patch, because I had finally found a setting which was very hard stable assist and thoes ratbastard AI's on novice, this was before the patch. Where I could race with them and they would'nt do all of the above. But now all day yesterday tryed all the settings different configs they are just bad, they will cut across the whole track just to take you out, you don't have to touch them, their behavior is erratic totaly unpredictable.
