Driving the exact same cars, yet mine is slower than my friends?

[Ragnokos]

Does anyone have any info on this?

In missions and races, me and my friend will drive side by side on a loooong straight stretch and his car will just zoom past eventually..

we're both playing with the Keyboard/Mouse set-up, so it's not a problem of halftriggering a controller or something..

u dont start with nitro thats why lol

frames could play a part too. obviously higher frames means easier streaming. lag will affect races

He might be double clutching it :)

in races we both do get the startboost 99% of the time and that's also irrellevant to the question at hand considering this also happens on missions where we are driving the same vehicles (supply runs for example) on long straight stretches (highways)

as for frames we're both steady 60fps, lag is something i highly doubt as well as this have been going on for as long as he's had the game (about a month now), would be weird with a steady 1 month "lag"

Is he slip streaming you? Drafting?

Try to change your car wheels

peer 2 peer in games is a joke

as mentioned, we've encountered this using the exact same cars in races and missions

in peer 2 peer bad design gaming for you it shows he is ahead or behind while on his screen the same , it shows everything BUT the correct positition of a player the netcode is rubbish

ive played races where ive been clearly ahead in 1st but come in 2nd place losing by a second or two funny huh?

this games netcode and peer 2 peer system is total rubbish

but shouldn't this also mean it'd ♥♥♥♥ up for him from time to time? Showing me in the lead and vice versa?

ahahhahahaha

[Will O' The Wisp]

maybe he is using small boost like sidewalks corners etc

[azxcvbnm321]

My best guess is that he is running the game at a higher frames per second than you are. The way the game engine works, the faster your FPS, the faster you go in racing. That's why in competitive serious races, like championships, people are asked to frame lock their FPS to 60.

That won't help me since I have a weak GPU and don't get 60 anyway, but that's likely the best answer.

Another one is if you have the EXACT same setup or not. Depending on the car, suspension and other mods can effect the car, giving it small curb boosts. The RE-7B was recently patched because a particular setup caused the RE-7B to go as fast as a hydra in uncapped FPS games. Do you have the same tires and have a spoiler? A spoiler in GTA V causes your car to go faster because it provides more road grip.

Higher fps is higher speed.... unless they have finally fixed that exploit.

I have the exact same issue and we tried on DRAG RACES wtih EXACT SAME SPEC COLOR ETC... and my friends one still faster
