Project CARS 2 Patch and Update Discussion

Are you guys all driving from the sky cam? I spend more time checking my mirrors and the apex

The mirrors are nasty as well. Surely Pro can handle a slightly higher pixel count for the mirrors....

They are godawful. The M6 is comically bad. Looks like it's the same resolution regardless of size so the M6 is particularly bad,

Wouldn't mind playing online without other people blowing my speakers due to imbalanced audio mix. Would love HUD options to save and stay. And general optimisations for the PS4 Pro is greatly welcomed.

I thought it was just me. I go into a party chat (alone) to get rid of it before going into a lobby.

That's a good workaround right there!

Which is fine for standard public racing but for anything organised you need the public chat.

For anything organised I'd highly prefer Discord or Teamspeak.

Might not be too feasible for all console players.

AFAIK you can use the voice chat via Discord's smartphone/tablet app.

Ah. I've never been able to get it to work on my phone, but I've only tried once or twice. That could be a solution.

Not sure how I'd practically get that to work along with using headphones connected to my DS4 controller.

Slide an earbud with a mic under your headset?

I agree. It's not the ideal solution but for public lobbies, it works.

Still no word on whether the patch will be out by Black Friday huh? I really really would like to see some feedback on it prior to then. Best Buy's sale is hard to resist.

 

[notanexpert]

Since there isnt much news for the upcoming patch, anyone see the crash at macau?

 

[Mikawelll]

No but i see the massive crash at Monaco

This is a very important patch for SMS for the console especially for the Pro. Delayed patch its a "good" thing for us . News comes don't worry. Bell says few times this patch has very good improvments.

He also said the PS4 Pro version doesnt have any jaggies Take Ian's words with a pinch of salt.

Not sure what Black Friday has to do with it? It's not like they are never going to patch it. The game is perfectly playable now.
Can it get better: yes
Will it get better: yes

Both console versions are on sale for 30 dollars at Best Buy for Black Friday. I have the PC version and in my mind yes it is playable, but it is not enjoyable enough for me to buy a second console version until those bugs are fixed and confirmed.

yeah off course. But i think all SMS crew knows this patch is very very exspected by the community . So Bell is confident. Me too. But still a bit suspicious lol.

Yeah ive not touched the game in weeks due to waiting for this patch. I really hope its good as ive barely touched it and i loved the first game and bought 2 on day one but i reckon i have put less than 10 hours into it due to thinking the Pro version is nothing but an afterthought. Really hope this patch changes things.

I play on the PS4 normal and don't see jaggies why, because I don't look for them and just play the game

Not looking =/= they don't exist.

Are Boxing Day sales a thing in your area? Up here, they're roughly the same — if not better — than BF ones. It's only a month later, and I find all of the holiday craziness makes the weeks go by very quickly...

Not really, but from Black Friday on there will be sales every week. It's just that Best Buy is the only place so far with the game at 30 bucks. It may or may not pop up in those subsequent sales.

Ah ok, That must be why Ian doesnt see them either.

 

[1Lambofan]

If and its a big if you do play the game you defo are seeing jaggies unless your on a tiny tiny screen. Or you have a magical PS4.

Haha!! It’s kinda hard not to see them honestly.

 

[1Lambofan]

Yeah, that was crazy. That’s why a large GT3 and large fields in general don’t work on street circuits. I’m surprised races do as good as they do at Long Beach.

denial is strong with this one

I never said they weren't there, I just try to concentrate on making a better lap time than what a tree looks like
