Hey folks, hope you all have a great day.
Today I wanted to complain about the VERY annoying traffic issues that Hot Pursuit Remastered has ever since launch...
Those issues are: Ghost traffic and traffic pop up.
Ghost traffic can be defined as invisible traffic, and player from other platform can be seen crashing while there's nothing in front of them... Sometimes traffic doesn't appear, but sometimes after they crash, it instantly pops up, which give a very short window to react.
Traffic pop up is well, like an ad that pops up onto your screen; It can spawn in an instant, giving you 0 time to react and caused you (or other players) to crash.
Sometimes traffic pop up can also appear in the form of traffic spawning under your car, which make your car float and when you land, you lost control.
Sometimes traffic pop up can appear as "car stacking", which is 1 traffic car that spawns on another.
I'm speaking on the behalf of the Hot Pursuit Remaster player-base, to fix all of this issues up, as it creates a very unfair environment for players on different systems.
Thank you.

Great summary of this issue, and I agree wholeheartedly!
Not entirely sure if it's exacerbated by crossplay when playing online, but it certainly feels like it sometimes...
My only advice would be to stay out of oncoming (particularly on freeway tunnels!) when you don't need to be there and be extra careful over blind crests, even though that makes the unfair disadvantage worse, since driving in oncoming provides extra nitrous.
How ridiculous that we've raised this issue repeatedly, and that it still hasn't been fixed despite two patches. Best of luck getting it fixed!

If you can't fix the traffic in this game, would you mind removing it from online multiplayer?
I'm tired if traffic cars spawning instantly ahead of you. Also, Input steering is painfully slow to evade those instant traffic spawn.
Also, fix roadblock hit boxes. I recall crashing into open spot while my car being aligned perfectly.
It seems like every updates are ruining the game even more.

@Mostwanted7171Too be fair the traffic has been bad since Criterion started making NFS, Ghost games have just continued the same way. Since they used the same Frostbite engine, that is why we still have this bad traffic model. And i dont think it will change with Criterion back as NFS dev, by the way there will sadly be no new game this year. Since Criterion is working a new Battlefield game, so we are stuck with Hot Pursuit Remaster and of course Heat.

Still an issue in November of 2021 and it is getting progressively worse. I think it IS crossplay related. I've also had issues with my weapons not working on PS players (im on xbsx). Would be great if they could fix this!
