This fucking game is 2 steps forward 2 steps back. The AI was excellent before the newest patch. They can't just leave well enough alone.

GT1 and GT2, I'm in the Spyker. Curitiba. This happened several times, I've given up on this race. One time, the AI was behind before that esses section and went off track from a car length behind and pitted me from the dirt. This one is just the good ole' fashioned idiot lunge.

Plus the AI rubber bands now. I'll pull away from one AI, put up a PB lap, just to have another AI magically surge forward to do something stupid. Plus, low % passes in bad spots. This is just bad AI. They had it working so well before this.

I need to try other classes I guess and see if they fucked the whole game or just this class. They just can't get the AI right and keep it good- every patch is a roll of the fucking dice.

This was a Lambo Diablo Hungaroring race weekend I did yesterday. Since the patch ALL my races have had rain or a moist track at some point (I use historical weather). This race featured a qualification session where it was raining buckets. I think the AI was on slicks, they were 5 secs off my pace when I hit the pits but at the end of the session they were only 2 secs off. Anyway, the race session had dry, cool weather but the track was still wet (not soaked and much of the track was still dry).

Here's a time lapse of the same corner the entry to T13. There was a lot of puddling around T13 and the puddle dried up as the race went on. The first shot is of qualifying and how rainy it was. Shot 6 shows when the track was dry but there was still some moisture being kicked up by the cars ahead on my windscreen. The final shot (9) shows the exact lap when the dry line appeared. It was really cool to feel the car change, to feel when the tires hooked up and when I could push. The car was changing every lap and I had to feel out how the change was affecting the grip.

The puddle patch has been amazing so far. Some of the changes are not subtle- the rain spray, & hydroplaning. But this corner was a much more nuanced change that I haven't experienced with another game.

This is the state of online with Evo right now. If it's not straight up wreckers like these 2 cocksuckers, it's drifters who are just as bad. I know that getting in with a league is the only way to go, it's just too bad that it always devolves into this shit. Sometimes I just want to do chill laps, it's frustrating.
