BUILD FEEDBACK + KNOWN ISSUES

[jannesBB]

This is a feedback thread for the current build. Please use this thread for reporting issues found in the game's current release. Before reporting, please check that the issue is already not in the list of known issues below.

We also host a bug tracker on our community forum that can be accessed here[community.bugbeargames.com] for more detailed information on specific issues.

KNOWN ISSUES

• ShadowPlay can cause the game to crash upon launching it or freeze when loading a track.
  
• Disabling paging (virtual memory) can cause the game to crash to "Out of Memory" error.
  
• Sonic Studio causes game instability - please shut it down before running the game.
  
• If the game crashes to "FATAL ERROR" after updating, it's most likely due to outdated mods. First try launching the game with "-disable_mods" (without quotes) launch option (right click on the game name in Steam Library > Properties > Set Launch Options). If that doesn't help, remove c:\Program Files\Steam\userdata\[User ID]\228380\local\wreckfest early access\modlist.mods file and unsubsribe all Steam Workshop mods, then try again.
  
• Outdated mod tracks may cause the game to crash when loading the track. To fix the issue the track needs to be re-exported by the mod author with the latest tools included with the game.
  
• Sometimes launching the 64-bit executable results in a fatal crash. Launching the 32-bit executable first, closing it and then launching the 64-bit executable has reportedly helped in many cases.

2.Add street cars class(Like in Flatout)
3.More city maps
4.Otherwise, this game awesome and worth it

1. YES
2. the A class already is street cars i feel.
3. you can't have these cars race in cities since this is supposed to take place in more realistic places where events like this would actually take place.
4. DOUBLE YES

It would also be nice if the game would auto-detect that i am using an Xbox 360 gamepad and not having to select it in the option menu every time i boot-up the game.

I have to report an issue about this game:
Someone patched the arcade-fun out of it in 2014 oct... then brought it back in january 2018 and removed it with the next patch a few weeks later again... I'm talking about the physics and the impact of crashes, that cause cars to flip... the more cars flip, the more fun me and a lot of people I play(ed) this game with had...

Please add a server option: Physics / impact: arcade vs. simulation... let people decide, wether they want wild arcade-style car-flipping.... or not.

Thank you! I would appreciate that...

PS: if you don't plan on adding such an option... can you please give us the chance to download "the next car game - pre oct 14" somewhere? Thank you! :)

I`ve never had to select anything in the years I`ve played with multiple controllers. If it`s connected to my pc when I launch the game it works. Can even switch things ingame and all works as intended. Windows 10.

Hmm actually it would have been better if by selecting NORMAL damage it would be arcade, and if selecting REALISTIC it would make it the simulation in this regard. Or yeah even making it two separate options would be cool.
Honestly thou i see cars flip more than enough.

The game crashes when i click on garage

Update on my loading issue:

- I ran 32bit version = no change
- I lowered all graphics settings = no change
- I am literally using a stopwatch now. I got one load to happen in 35 secs (fastest ever) but that was merely to spectate. As soon as that race ended, I stayed on the same server but next round took 3:48 to load - 'sorry the race has already started' (kicked) - i.e.I nver got to race on that server
- I also have loaded into game where I am sitting intermingled with other cars (all cars are in the same spot in some parking lot or somethung, rendering all together in one place). When this happens, you have to Alt-Tab and kill the program because you re completely locked out of controls except for being able to rotate the vieew around rthe car(s) with the thumbstick.
-Side note to guy with controller issues - you must power on the controller before you start the game. Merely having the USB plugged in but contoller not powered on does not get the controller detected at all, you have to restart with controller powered on. This works every time for me (this is for wireless xbox ctlr).

All in all, this game is a shambles, which is a shame.

I am at 4k res so I wonder if that is an issue.

Please fix the loading and post here when that is done. I'm done troubleshooting. A whole Friday nght wasted.

Try out a lower res just to see if you get any kind of changes. Also, is the game on an SSD by chance? Anything to try to help loading where you can.

[BZT spybaz]

Just tried lowering to 1920x1080 = no change

[Spawn]

You should make this antivirus friendly. ;y antivirus says that bimage.exe is not trust worthy and allthough I already set it on the whitelist the game can't be updated or even installed.

[Riik]

My Xbox 360 controller shows up twice in the list of controllers (as "Xbox 360 Controller 1" and "Controller (Xbox 360 for Windows)". Both are configured differently by default, which explains the issues I've been having with buttons doing multiple things at once. Doing "Unbind all" on one controller seems to fix the issue, as well as other weird issues (like vibration and dead zones not working).

[BZT spybaz]

OK load times are normal now. I think switching to 1920x1080, let a game load at that res, and switching to 4K is the fix (for me).

Thanks everyone and cheers to you spybaz for making it easy to help you.
