Buggy is buggy.... or am I doing it wrong ?

[Masscreed]

I cant drive the buggy most time, I enter in the seat but it wont let me move, but then randomly every once in maybe 100 tries i can drive. any help would be great.

edit: bug not limited to one vehicle

does it have power? it may be dying on you cuz it doesn't have power, and then very slowly recharging.

It definitely has power, I've noticed that it only happens when I'm hosting a game in multiplayer. On a side note it seems to coincide with the wind messing up, but that part might be a coincidence.

Are you playing MP? I was trying to use the buggy last night and I noticed it was related to the "Save Game" popup that happens when playing MP everytime you board a vehicle. I had to get a friend to hop into a vehicle and force a save before the Buggy would work again.

All of the wheeled vehicles get physics locked during a specific circumstance, one way to limit this effect is to come to a complete stop while NOT turning and then get out of it.

There's a limited amount of error checking during the save function and it doesn't check for vehicle status viability.

If you get out of your vehicle while it's moving you have a much higher chance of saving the state of the vehicle in an undefined state and thus it wont move. Additionally if you get out of the vehicle while you're turning you have a much higher chance of it not moving or only moving in a certain direction when you get back in it.

Yeah, I think you're right. It's something with the save game after entering a vehicle. It's exacerbated in multiplayer for me, but I have noticed it in single player as well. switching seats with friends worked for me too.

Hmm, I have noticed that when the wheels are sharply turned when I exit it almost always triggers it. Thanks for the tips.

Happens every time when playing MP for me. This issue is several years old. I dont think they know how to fix it otherwise it would have been fixed
