Segmented run in progress (X360, Pal)

Cool! btw i just compared my runs side by side the elise destroys the cayman everywhere, but cop chases are a lot harder since the car is ultralight! accelaration seems to be slightly in favor of the elise and the handling is a lot better!

Austria

Btw since we change car after Kaze what about the carerra S and the db9 have you tried them already how do they match up against the Elise?

France

No car match up the Elise times. The only car that is faster than the Elise is the M3 GTR, and on a very little number of tracks the Carrera GT is slightly faster. Just Elise or Riot :D

Czech Republic

Just wondering, how do you guys feel about turning off motion blur? I absolutely hate that effect, but the only way to turn it off is via registers. You can't do it in game.

Austria

motion blur doesnt work on my pc some kind of driver error i think its ok to turn it off, i might not be the only one that has that problem

France

Ok, so I've got some sort of a bug, that annoys me right now.

I'm currently driving Kaze's races, I've done my bounty. Currently I'm doing the 6th of 7 needed race, so my heat level is already back to 1. Last time I trained this 6th race I was a the lowest heat, no problem.

BUT, today, I started driving again this race to record it, and I noticed that my heat has increased just a little bit, like not even a half of the 1st heat bar. I did nothing to get this, it's like the save has changed something.

What should I do? I already tried to reload my save, doesn't work. And I can't try anything on the car, because it will change my cash amount. I could also drive with another car but free roaming don't make the heat for another car go down.

Can I continue like this, or will this be considered as a discrepancy?

Czech Republic

Yeah, I'm afraid it will be a discrepancy :(

What do you mean you can't try anything on the car? Does changing your color lowers the heat or so? I don't remember.

France

Changing the color costs some money as well.

But now we change to the Elise right after Kaze, so that can't help me, in any way. I'm planning on getting cops attention during Kaze's last tollbooth, then escape directly after, to get my 4th milestone. Then the drag race, and then Kaze's duel. And after that it's Elise time. That can't change anything in the run tho, am I forced to not continue?

Czech Republic

Oh, I see. You've already done the bounty and you're going to switch to Elise, anyway. That should be okay if you're not gonna do any more cop chases. It will still be a discrepancy, but with no effect to the time, if I understand it correctly. Make sure you make a note about it in your comments, though. People might get suspicious, you know.

France

I will do a pursuit with the Golf, that's the problem.

As I said, I'm doing the 6th race, and durung this race I want a cop spawn, to start a pursuit , and end it in less than 3 minutes right after the race, to clear the 4th milestone.

So it doesn't change anything in the run, but there will just be a slight visible difference between races 5 and 6.

Or, I can go to the parts shop and buy another part, and make it visible in the run so that there is no confusion, but I'll lose like 30 seconds...

France

No I can't prove it with a video. On my 5th recorded race I was OK, I stopped my recording when I started race 6. It was still as the lowest. It's just that today, the heat has rised just a little bit. I recorded a short video just to show that it has changed.

But thanks for your tip, JessicaSix. Yes I've got the same amount of bounty points, so it's in fact provable that it's not my fault. I guess I can continue recording without problem now.

Czech Republic

JessicaSix: The problem is not the heat dropping to level 1. That is a known thing when doing Kaze. The problem is he somehow gained half a bar of heat.

Seven: I think you simply had a cop chase during a race and then forgot to reload your save or something like that. I think I've seen a similar issue when I was doing my Carbon segmented run, but it didn't matter since you don't have to do any cop chases.

Let me ask you something - during those 3 minutes doing cop chase, will your heat level raise to level 2? If not and your bounty didn't change, you may continue.

France

No, definitely, it won't. THe milestone is "Evade the pursuit in less than 3 minutes" To be 100% clear : The tollbooth race I do ends on the closest tollbooth near the "endgame road" (the one with the broken bridge, which ends the game). I plan, in the best situation, to have no cops behind me at this point, so I escape in less than 10 seconds. In the worst scenario I would keep, I destroy the police car(s) on the pursuit breaker located in the stadium nearby. So 30 seconds pursuit maximum.

EDIT : I just recorded my race, and the pursuit lasted 25 seconds. Now I have 3 little heat bars fully completed, so yeah I'm still quite far from heat 2. Hope it's OK

Czech Republic

Yup, it's fine.

France

Oh thank you so much ! I think I would have bought another visual part of the car to lower the heat if it was really a problem, so that the run wouldn't have been over.

Austria

Seven can you tell me again when to equip transmissions and when not to, i remember you saying something about that.

France

Note that I didn't tried to race with the Golf right at the start yet.

I don't equip transmission on the Cobalt SS. Transmission is already installed on Sonny's car. I equip Vic's transmission after beating Izzy, to combine it with the new engine. I don't equip Earl's transmission on the Golf to save money for the Elise. And I don't know what I'm gonna do for Webster's one at the moment. I'll have to see if it makes the car faster or not. But in any way, there are only 3 possibilities. (Equip transmission and maybe brakes after Webster OR equip it after JV to combine with exclusive engine OR equip it after Ronnie to get maxed out)

Czech Republic

I'm curious if you could skip at least one tuning "session" and save at least a second or two since some upgrades are nearly worthless. Cause you know, menuing costs time.

France

Yup, that's what I said :>

I skip Vic's transmission and equip it at the same time than Izzy's engine. In fact quite every transmission upgrade is bad when not combined with power upgrades (turbo and/or engine). Also to get sure on fuel I don't equip Earl's transmission, and skip also Jewels' tires.

Also the early game light change a but with the allowance for the U2 save cash. Didn't tried it, so dunno how it works.

France

I've finally decided to upload #12 part.
