PC VERSION

You guys are unreal! 

The controller loses its function - regardless if it's wired or wireless and I have THREE CONTROLLERS. How many times has my car just kept going dead straight. No control what-so-EVER!

Yet again, random AI cars falling in front of the car. Piles of cars or trucks at the end of tunnels or even on the road, and I am in 1st Position.

AI cars just turning left, on a straight. I mean, is this intentional?! When in 1st position, all this stuff seems to happen.

I just had a race with the Regera at the on rails, and there is cars crossing my path from left or right on the last stretch. It is a narrow track where am I supposed to go. Smash. My position is now lost all because of * AI.

I have over 400 hours (god knows why I put in this effort) and yet your AI instructions and bugs makes me like I have played just a few hours.

Laggy servers, SP Mode is super slick - so it is not the hardware or my 150mb internet.

Is this arcade or trying to be some sort of sim? AI cars rolling across the road, after someone has hit them seconds ago.

Patch 5.0.2 and YOU STILL DO NOT LISTEN TO US!!!

We are your BETA TESTERS so it seems.

I have no fun in this game at all, and it would be a fun game .....

I uninstalled my game - before I smash my rig up at the anger you cause me!!!!

I'm finally able to obtain the Cactus pose from playing one round of each Linkup location now that Volume 3 Linkup locations actually appears as intended. Finally completed everything in Volume 5.

Thanks for the fix!

 There are far more important issuses, and bugs than trivial things like cactusposes that need to be addressed

This doesn't mean ignoring the problematic Volume 3 Linkup locations not spawning and the Cactus pose remaining impossible to get.

Any kind of game issues, no matter how big or small, should be fixed.

Those small issues of the game, if you choose to ignore them, will add up if more and more small issues occur in the game.

Argh I'm stuck on 13/14 locations myself. I have no idea which one I'm missing. I still do them any time I see them on my map. I must have done 50+ events by now.

Any tricks to share on finding them?

Fix the A.I. cars they ruin the race tremendously and that crashing just feels fake I slightly tapped off an A.I. car and my car car flipped.

The cars- I have a M5 400+ I can't even keep up with the hyperarcs at all. Where is the balance?

Drifting feels weird in this game still, sometimes it doesn't even respond well.

This game is promising please fix it
