Re: Fix the traffic!!!

I guess it is not so much to say here except this: playing any event in night time is a nightmare in the worst way to say because traffic in this game is driven by a unpolished AI!!!

In almost any intersection, turn or jump the traffic cars are spawning or stopping before you can take any action to avoid it.

There is no way A NORMAL human player can form a decent dexterity to avoid those "mushrooms"... it is worst than NFS 2016 and I have almost 6800 hours of game play there and still have issues.

Fix the traffic!!! 


you have 283 days of played time on need for speed 2016? good lord do you work? Stop leeching off welfare.  But I do agree the AI traffic is * at best. Every single corner you can expect a car to randomly be there EVERYTIME everytime your about to get good distance on the police HAHA!!!! A stupid flatbed tow driver stops in the middle of a 4 lane intersection for NO reason as theres NO traffic ahead of him.

Traffic in this game is * at best.

    What's so special about my gameplay hours? I think I had more than 10.000h on NFS MW 2005 when servers were closed... and I don't think I was the only one.

    The thing is I have enough experience to say that NFS heat has a traffic issue.

    It does, and as I said in TC2, there's a simple easy solution to fixing it.  Increase the traffic spawn distance = No more issues with random - in your face spawns.  

    Here's the settings that I use in TDU2:

    Edit:

    - Max Vehicle Count = 40

    - Max Traffic Count = 40

    - Parked Cars = 10

    - Physics Max Count = 10

    Culling Config

    - 1st Radius = 10,000, 2nd Radius = 15,000 (testing this one, usually 30,000), FOV (Field of view) = 100,000

    Spawn Distances

    - Min Spawn Distance = 12,000, Max Spawn Distance = 100,000

    This is probably considered a bit extreme, but to me it makes traffic feel more realistic.

  • There is no .cfg file for AI traffic in this game... and for most games in the last 10 years.

    That's not surprising, however the key  fix remains the same. 

    Every ai setting, even in current games, has a minimum and maximum spawn distance, thus Increasing the minimum spawn distance of traffic will prevent them from spawning so close.  Of course it goes without saying that increasing the minimum distance means also increasing the maximum distance.

    Could you be anymore of a *?

    Oh, btw, I've platinumed the game, driven all the fastest cars and done all the races. And after much playtime, I can concur, that the traffic in this game is the worst traffic in the history of game development. 

    Just because you are a judgemental *, doesn't mean your opinion is fact.
