Locking up tyres bug

Seems like there is a bug related to locking up - whenever I lock up my tyres there is no smoke, so I can't really know how hard did I lock up. I spotted that it works for AI meaning there is visible smoke when they are braking too late but it's not working when it comes to the player.

Do you have similar experience?

  • Guys, anyone with this issue? This really spoils the immersion while playing... Wondering if only I have this.

    @Oriosss Not sure if I've gotten visible smoke from locking up, but I can confirm when I spin around after a crash or oversteer, I can see form my cockpit cam I'm VR that I've smoked the whole friggin track, so whoever comes behind me can't see past my wall of white smoke :D

    On another note, I've seen a few LOD-errors making certain textures invisible in certain distances, so there might be some smoke texture error going on.
  • @Chinook I have PS5 version so I don't know if this can be related to texture error like it can be with PC version and lots of graphic settings - my setting on console is set on Quality. But thanks for the answer though 🙂 I hope that this issue will be fixed with one of the upcoming patches, unless Codies are not aware of it...

    @Oriosss You can check to see if game play videos on youtube show smoke where you can't see any, or if you can still see smoke when spinning around, and if things still seem off, I suggest tagging some of the EA people on this forum to have them come take notes 🙂
  • @Chinook Yeah good idea, I will check some gameplays and also try to spin while playing today in the evening to see if still no smoke. If negative I will tag someone to let them know. But in general it's weird that AI is locking up and there is smoke visible, but for player not, so something is off for sure.



  • Ok so I made a short video (attached) where I made strong lock up at the end of the straight - no smoke from the locked up tyres. When it comes to assists I play with traction control and ABS on OFF.

    @EA_Hux can you please take a look and report it as a bug to Codemasters?

    Hey @Oriosss ,

    Thank you for submitting this video.

    I tried to reproduce this issue myself (exact car and track) but I can see the smoke.

    If you go into replay you should see the smoke. It is quiet hard to spot indeed in cockpit view as the body of the car can hide it.

  • Hello @EA_Hux ,

    thank you for checking on this 🙂 From this camera, which I use it's not visible at all, bit tried to see the replay and indeed there is smoke visible under/behind the car. But the thing is that in previous editions of the game whenever you locked up front tyre/s the smoke was visible and you could see and measure how hard you locked up, which has an impact on tyre wear. I think it should work exactly the same now. Unless it's intentionally done by the Codies  🤨 - maybe once aware of this they could check if this should work like that or it should be improved?

    Anyways thanks for the respond 🙂
