Awful rain

Hey. Please do something with rain effect, it looks so bad that driving in rain conditions is awful experience, kills the immersion. Raindrops look so bad that its probably worse looking rain i have ever seen in any game. Like noodles falling from sky. Make raindrops more transparent at least. Please.

  • Hey folks,

    thanks for the further explanation and feedback! I've passed this along to the team.

    I've also moved a couple of related comments into this thread.

    @wRobelele Regarding to ffb my idea was not about the lack of grip, but more about the lack of drag that you should feel driving in snow tread. Especially on high degraded stages. Remember this feeling IRL (lots of snow here in Canada), but never saw any racing game even tries to simulate it. But they should, because this is the main feeling you have driving in heavy snow.

    @T16R0N Especially the pull to one side when one front wheel goes through deeper snow.

    Maybe it’s more off a safety thing so those who run high FFB on their wheels don’t get taken by surprise and break their wrists

    @ScarDuck14 Drove a little more in Sweden. Finally found the drag. But to get it you should really go off stage.
    My point that in heavy snow the road itself should become covered with snow and get similar condition of hard deep snow.
  • I get nausea when its heavy rain. Its just a horrible effect, both rain and snow

    No matter how much it rains or snows(heavy or not), there is no need for a windshield wiper. I can drive without it, because I can see clearly, which is not realistic.

     I have just stopped playing this game. The graphics are so bad that they become a obstacle themselves. Driving at 100mph on bumper mode and the graphics look no different as if you were stationary.

    How can scenery in 2023 at 4k look so bland and sterile even the colours looked ripped from 360 days.

    The road surface's are even poor, the car's looks like the old days where they are not attached to a surface at all.

    It's been a year and the rain is still terrible, both the jam-like effect on the windscreen from cockpit view, and especially the falling raindrops when using headlights, at night or in the daytime and in any view.

    Doesn't even look like rain. Doesn't even look like sleet, it's far worse than that.

    Plus falling snowflakes are now black when not being directly illuminated, and the effect of snowfall on the windscreen is still broken/missing after a full year, making wipers unnecessary during snow.

    Tear it all out and start over, and keep it out until it's done right. The weather effects and headlights are still worse than the nine year old Dirt Rally and only break immersion in this game with how poorly implemented they are. Please put an end to it. The broken cockpit reflections need to go already, too.

    Here's an even more egregious rain example where it's not as dark out: https://i.imgur.com/PbMG9ZB.mp4

    Without headlights, the visibility of the rainfall on the left side of the screen here is probably closer to what it should look like in front of the car with the headlights lighting them up, but the "drops" are still way too thick and opaque overall, and of course the lights make it look absolutely ridiculous, even in daytime conditions.

    It's complete and utter nonsense.
