Draws??

[ValhallasChosen]

I just drew on a race because my opponent didn't follow as I took an off ramp. I was in the lead by quite a bit so this was pretty frustrating. I may be mistaken because I haven't played a TxR game since 2, but isn't that sort of the whole point of the chase-and-follow style of racing; who ever is in the lead dictates the course, and if the opponent fails to follow they lose?

This was an issue in the old games. I was never sure if they had pre determined courses or if it was based in the drivers characteristics. Of course you can use it to your advantage as well if you're losing. I havn't had it happen anywhere near as much as the old games though.

I feel like it's gotten worse with this version. Ive seen the AI swerve to take a different path behind me resulting in a draw. Very annoying.

The AI I feel like is mostly stuck to their route depending to their team, not even the blinkers trick work in this version

they stick to theirs team zone

Always been a thing in these game. I've had 2 draws in over 110 races, not really a problem.

Not really saying its a problem or not, I am more trying to determine if its just me misunderstanding the structure of the race... or how I assumed it should logically work. As I said I just assumed that would result in a loss, since the opponent failed to follow.

It really doesn't make sense that its a draw, but if its just down to AI that cant actually follow the lead car then that could be something they work on improving during early access. Just because its always been a certain way doesn't mean it has to stay that way especially if its specifically a technology hurdle. I don't speak for everyone here obviously, but I'd love to see smarter AI that actually CAN follow better.

I'm playing TXR3 right now on PS2 and this exact thing has happened to me like 5 times in the last 30 minutes. To say it's frustrating is an understatement. It's just funny that this behavior hasn't been fixed in 22 years lmao

brother I can not tell you how many times I am like 10 meters from finishing opponent's meter and they just spontaneously take a different turn. As if that's it, they quit for the day.

I've beaten all the AI opponents available in the current EA content in 14 hours with a grand total of (2) draws.

If you're leading, don't try to juke the AI. Pick a direction and stick to it and they will follow.
