After today's update I can't finish any faction mission. I'm trying my best, but the opponents obviously cheat - for example, in Observatory Dash one of them boosts ~180 meters ahead of me and there's no way to catch up and outrun him. I've tried several times with different cars and I just can't beat the damn race (even though I had no problems with it before the Wild Run update). It also happened with several other races I've checked.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
agree with this...was racing my favourite race Highway Child and 12 minutes into the race 2 of the AI racers were 6 miles ahead of me. My race was flawless but they kept pulling further ahead with no way I could catch up. I aborted the race after 15 mins when they were 7 miles ahead! This needs fixing!
Seems like they wanted to do more then just some more cars and stuff. The AI is bonkers. I had a car that exceeded the recommend specs and just got trashed I was a distant 2nd place mainly because the computer stuck to the road like glue, he was faster then I was(rubberbanding). Yeah no fun. Also some of the missions are busted as well the Laguna Seca track my mission car was 808 recommend car for that track is 685 I got smoked by the AI. Then I went with a lower spec car under 700 and hey I won the race. Oh boy. Not only that the first race where I cam in second I turned a car that was 3rd place and just a few miles down the road and he was again in 3rd place. Cheating AI for the win. Not cool guys and its not fun to have a cheating AI.
same here I was half way through race in first place 25 secs ahead, then split second later I was in fifth no cars over took me yet I was in fifth, again as you said ai was noticeably lower spec yet when a car did over take you eg around a corner it was like they had glue on tyres passed me like I was stuck in neutral or something, so basically what's going on? made our cars virtually un-controllable and ai can cheat, eg point to point racing start and finish 30 secs into 25 mile race and I lost ai covered 25 miles in 30 secs, what the?????
I don't know if any one else has had this prob but here goes on longest route half way through race, for no reason car just gets catapulted vertical in air!!!! any one else had this issue?
Well... it definitely was a shock factor, but now the missions are simply impossible to beat. As the previous users say, no matter how well you drive, the AI always catapults several hundred meters ahead (or kilometers in longer races). There's no way to catch up even if you drive a much better car without mistakes. This isn't what I call a fair challenge.Originally Posted by Natchai_Ubisoft Go to original post
I tried my new all-gold RUF in Branchu Loop and History In the Making with similar experience. Faction missions are very hard now. Will experiment more over the weekend.
Story mission Bottom of Ninth i could win in but felt the AI breathing down my neck.
Interestingly the Alfa 8c now has lost most of its potency compared to the lsit of patched cars. Very much looking forward to the handling updates to the rest of the fleet SOON.
I noticed the same thing. Initial shock, but almost impossible to win if you make a mistake (or even if you don't!) The AI at the front of the pack is perfect every race...and much better than they should be. If it's a long race, it's not fun to play. At this point the best use of Faction Missions is to send friends to make bucks.Originally Posted by HungryManticore Go to original post
Hope this gets fine-tuned, otherwise Faction Missions have completely lost the fun factor.
