Forum topic: BUG LIST

Need to keep tack of the latest bugs as the old ticketing system is not there.

Starting with this very forum, lots of dead links to current topics.

Car setup prep still not working.

Inactive teams still hoarding drivers and staff. Contracts that are unfulfilled ie, no races driven still stay after a year doing nothing. Not realistic. They aren't available for other teams and remain locked out, terrible n00b players that try to sign the best everything with ridiculous unsustainable offers then leave a trail that isn't fixable.

If you miss a race and sponsorship penalties immediately apply, so too should the contract system. Half works, half is broken.

Fastest time sector data on the session page is not up to date, seems random.

Bug or not, something like this should NOT happen in a game - and don't hit me with a "realism" line.

I have spent a week gradually investing in increasing interest for a S5 sponsor - one that hasn't been even used by a team since S14 as it is only a 2 star. Yesterday I logged in ready to conclude the deal as I had enough commercial points saved up BUT, Sponsor now offering 300k less, changed terms on races missed and now has a bunch of cooldown points that take a week and 2 days to cool down! No-one else negotiating.

It is things like the above that really piss me off and consistently take me away from the game.

I have played since Pitwall 1 but keep on leaving the game because of crap like this.

I see lots of new features and tweaks and great ideas, but if simple gameplay mechanics keep on kicking you when you are struggling to get going on if this happens to a new player for which the game is difficult enough in the first place, then people will simply keep leaving, not staying or not investing via subs.

The same stuff is still not fixed.

* There are thousands of unused staff
* Point investment to increase interest results in a drop of less than the investment - what's the point?
* We will have a load of corpses in charge of all the teams soon. I saw negotiations for new contracts for support staff and no team member was under 70!! No one seems to retire from the game even if they have never had a job!
* Staff members in their 70's still have not locked in their ability ratings
* This crap of shifting goalposts on sponsor negotiations is so unnecessary
* Loads of good staff are locked into inactive teams - staff with great reps should prioritise where they work and the missed races clause must have better effect - they become immediately available rather than sitting there refusing to negotiate.

Sorry if this sounds a little harsh as I appreciate that this is an independent project, but I would far prefer less dfeatures that actually worked as intended that so many glitchy, crappy things that simply ruin a game with so much promise that has had so much time and love poured into it.

BUT, ultimately, the game is out there, it is available, it encourages you to contribute and pay for it, although it is optional and therefore it has customers. I have tried time and time again to give the game a shot and the same bugs and flaws are still there that simply ruin the enjoyment.

Is there a bug in research? I am researching an electrical system, and I've now spent north of 5k points. Is this suppose to happen? It is a massive difference for other parts
