Note to creators. TOO MANY INVISIBLE WALLS!
It was expected in the 90s, but decades later, it just makes you look like its your first day and annoys anyone trying to move through EMPTY AIR. Please STOP MAKING INVISIBLE WALLS.
WHY???? Theres literally NO NEED for them......

First question to ask is, are you using any mods? If you are, do these invisible wall which you are talking about exist on a new profile which has never had any mods on it?

What invisible walls ? I haven't run into any. You must be playing a different game than me. I also use a mod called "Hidden Barriers" which removes the "XXXXXX" and the "<<<<<< >>>>>" so that you don't see them and I still don't run into "Invisible walls".

This is not an open-world driving game like GTAV. This is how the game is designed. You're not supposed to go offroading in the desert. So either stick to the roads or go play a different game.

That is an interesting point. I had never even thought about anyone trying to drive anywhere other than on the driveable areas of the map. Now you have mentioned that I can understand that it is more than likely some players probably do try that.

At least those ones are visible.

I would hardly consider driving over a patch of dirt on a sharp corner "off roading into the desert"
or just trying to make a wide turn and hitting an invisible wall made of empty air "driving simulation" Thats more like "acid trip simulator".

Though off roading into the desert sounds pretty awesome, just think of the time you could save with direct routes, and the flat tires from cacti thorns.

Its interesting you havent found any. I appreciate you sharing your experience. To answer your questions, the ones that are at some of the corners are the ones I've found mostly. When ever I go around traffic its like a gamble of a science fiction force field ready to damage the truck.

Only using the realistic graphics mod. I didnt think it repositioned anything. I hadnt really thought to test it. Thats an idea worth exploring.

Offloading what is most probably not a problem with the game at all to the SCS forum eh? Great idea!

OK, I see you responded to my second post. How about my first post?

I see your edit. It is always best to check on a mod free profile before posting to the SCS forum. Even when posting a bug report it has to be tested on a profile which has never had any mods ever added to it.

By the way, you mention these invisible walls are when you are making turns. Can you describe what is happening in more detail? Just saying invisible walls really is not enough information.

If you're actually encountering invisible walls in normal gameplay, report them as a bug on the official forums.

If you're just driving into the desert for a giggle, I'm not sure what you expected to happen.

I did run into an invisible wall once dividing two sides of the highway. I always stick to the roads, but that time I was like F it and tried to cut through the median to make a U turn, but nope I was randomly stopped lol. It was annoying at the time, and was odd. It should just give you a fine instead of making invisible stops.

Are you for real?

Yes I am for real. I have played this game since the day it was released and have over 1,600 hours playing time and have hauled all sorts of trailers in the game and only when playing betas have I ever encountered invisible walls which were later fixed. So instead of taking umbrage at my question just explain where you are having the problems and what is happening.

By the way, do you think that question would not be asked at the SCS forum?

What roads, what intersections, where on the map, screenshots? They are going to be asked.
