Ok, I can confirm (as if that didn't happen already) that the DLC wrecks have totally messed up ALL wreck statistics. What's wrong?

 

- Get the Stratos after finding just TWO wrecks, which get on the map after you done a few Convoys new type

- Idem for the Charger, after finding four wrecks.

- The ''metal detector'' went off when I approached a buggywreck on a hill near a house-entrance. I hit the buggy and it said 9/10. I already have that stupid thing for over two months....

- Just like others said, the ''Find X wrecks in area Y'' are messed up. It says you found 4/4 wrecks, but it only gives like 55/220 points...

Hey Guys - We're aware of the issue with the wrecks and hope to release a patch soon for it. Essentially, the wrecks statistics are off, which is causing your number of wrecks to display inaccurately, and sometimes unlock the Startos/Charger early.

Sorry, no plans for it at this time. I already spent the licensing budget on buying a lambo for myself for research purposes.

Just kidding! But in seriousness, there are no currently no official plans to add Lamborghinis to the car list.

i feel bad for PS3 gamers but what i do hope is that this doesn't delay the update for the rest

It's not delaying the release of the other platforms. Each platform will be pushed to it's appropriate next step as soon as its ready! :)

Hey all.

I tried to copy the photos of an other profile to mine but when I tried to look at them it said that the photos are damaged. Can I copy photos from profile to profile without getting them damaged?

Great question, Peter. Unfortunately, I don't believe there's an official way to do this. I think they're locked to a single profile. If a solution is found, it will most likely be a solution from the community.

will you be adding or changing any of the slot machines?

No plans to change or add slot machines right now, my friend. :)

Obviously I can't endorse or support any third party tool development, but I can say that I've sent the modification info up to the developers for review. If I hear anything back I'll let you guys know.

It's not on our priority list to aggressively hunt down people modding the game, but be careful and make sure that you're not doing anything that affects money, progression, or access to unintended content.

How come we are not allowed to paint some of the downloadable cars?........I find it very weird that we can't paint the GT 500 and the audi rs 5 when these car's are not exclusive's at all meaning you can get that car in many colors from the factory. I find that just wrong and boring that every one has to drive around with the same colored cars. This game is starting to really lose it's touch i mean come on really.

 

It's just how the licensing works, unfortunately. Within a licensing strategy, you have to allocate your costs effectively to get the most value inside your budget.

For example, it costs more to add customization for a licensed car. This is because it allows the car to be represented differently than the manufacturer might like it to be displayed.

From the car company's perspective, there is less advertising potential if the car looks different than it does in commercials, and even less advertising potential if it looks ugly (i.e. if people choose ugly paint colors/sticker schemes). Due to that, the companies tend to charge more if players can modify the appearance of the car.

The same goes for vehicle damage - obviously the car companies want their cars to look slick and shiny, not beat up with the fender falling off. So adding this option costs more as well.

Overall, the goal for us is to give our players the maximum amount of cars, with the maximum amount of customization, that we can fit into the budget for car licensing.

Yes, I can confirm. Roulette is scheduled to be enabled on consoles when the next patch (Exploration Pack, Free DLC 1) goes live.

Any word on the release date of the Exploration DLC with the stratos and the charger?

Not at the moment. The latest PC build is in QA. If it is approved then we may see it in a couple of days. The Xbox build should be submitted shortly after. There are some PS3-specific technical difficulties on the PS3 version, so there may be a delay before that version is submitted to Sony. We are working on it every day, so hopefully all three versions will be out the door soon.

They went up on Saturday. Should be good to go. :)

Thanks for the info guys. Can't escalate this one as-is just yet; seems like there are a few possibilities regarding what's going on, but unless there are specific steps to reproduce the issue in a given situation, it sounds like an expected limitation of the engine. Sorry that it's annoying - let me know if you guys come up with any other data on this.

Wait - couches are not the top priority!?!?!?!!?!

::runs back to the blackboard and quickly erases all the development plans::

In seriousness, we are actively working on improving the support for wheels and handling in general. Right now nothing has been officially announced or confirmed yet, but it is being worked on internally and we hope we have the opportunity to share it with the community.

A lot of developments are being done to improve the game based on community feedback, but the situation is a bit sticky in the sense that a.) we can't formally announce things until they are officially confirmed across all channels: PR, marketing, development, publishing, first party (sony/microsoft) and b.) things take time - lots of it! Approval processes take longer and longer each passing year, it's just the way the business evolves, so please be patient while we push things through all the appropriate channels. ;)

So, we're doing everything we can on the community/development end to keep things moving forward in the direction that our fans want to go, but unfortunately the process takes time and it will be a while before we can officially confirm the news you want to hear. :)

Also, I've noticed one thing when i was buying my cars. The pictures for the Aston DBS and Aston V12 are mixed. be careful.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll take a look.

Oooh, pick me! :taz:

Yeah, like superhyper said, it should be available in the Xbox Marketplace by the end of the week. It's already hit the PC and PS3 versions I believe. Be careful, though. If you get one, make sure you drive it well, or you'll be reinforcing the stereotype that only noobs drive Veyrons. You seem like you'd be a good driver, so it shouldn't be a problem for you, I imagine. Just a heads up though. ;)

Yep, TimBud is correct. No need to start over. :)

Ok great, i did not want to restart that, i can't handle any more of Tess's Voice Saying stuff about Squabiling other players LOL, and thanks, i keep looking..

I've seen those a hundred times, most likely. :o The way to make it more fun around the 10th+ time is to change the in-game language. :)

Thanks for the feedback Baxie!

That's one of my favorite classes. RS6, two Aston Martins, and an American car. I think I had a hard time picking a favorite out of those cars. Eventually I settled on the RS6 since I enjoyed the feeling of torque that it has when starting from a full stop. It was also easier for me to get back on the road after making a mistake and ending up in the grass.

About having more cars in the game, who could disagree with you? More are certainly coming. Hopefully we'll have details soon. :)

I think this is a bug, because sometimes I do have Drive options sometimes I don't.

 

Anyway I don't go to house to change car as there are two faster ways:

 

 

1. click on any multiplayer challenge nearest to you, clik on join, then go to change vehicle, choose what you want and then just go back to map - you won't be disconenctwed from the session, but you will be back on place where the challenge is located.

 

2. go to menu > challenge editor > new > create (or something like that I don't remember exactly) and you will have an opiton to change your car. Change it and then go back to map, you will be back in same place with new car, but sometimes it can disconnect you from your session

Powerslave is correct, there is a known issue where the 'Drive' option doesn't always come up. I think it depends on the particular house you are in. Not completely sure though.

The suggested workarounds should work like a charm. :)

Yep, 'tis a known issue. Not the highest on the priority list, but it does occur from time to time. :)

Haven't seen any plans surrounding modular parts in the cars, but I agree that it could be cool!

I think that the direction of the game is still moving towards classics and supercars, but it's good to know that people are interested in some of the more everyday vehicles as well! :)

Yep, T and Ryzza covered most of it. I have escalated the feedback about moving the cars around the garages, but as of right now there's currently no effective way to move the cars from one specific garage to another.

Very interesting!

If anyone ends up with specific reproduction steps, please feel free to post them in our bug report forums so it can be escalated. As of this moment, it seems completely random. :confused:

If anyone affected by the issue feels like sending over their Save file, feel free to post it somewhere and PM me with a link. I'll happily send it over to the developers, though I don't know that a save file would contain enough information to fully reproduce the issue. Worth a try, though.

When the PS3 version was released, there was an unintentional error in the store where the pre-order cars were available as DLC. The cars were removed from the store after the issue was discovered.

We'd like to make the pre-order cars available to all customers some time in the future, but as of right now there isn't a concrete plan to do so.

I sent a certain email to a certain someone, will see if, erm, she responds :)

Vince forwarded your question to me and I responded. Not sure who the "she" is in this equation. ;) We should be following up with all the winners soon!

I wrote an e-mail GMDestra - no answer.

Sorry for the delay. I responded back to your e-mail a couple hours ago so let me know if you did not received it.
