Does anyone know what happened to having peds in multiplayer? The game feels really empty and bland without them, and Stainless originally said they would be in.
This was from a few days back, but I asked Nobby during the Twitch livestream. He said that it's still part of the plan.

Speaking of multi, a patch should be out to fix some multi-specific stuff within the next 24 hours, Steam willing.

They just got an update from Q/A, their main issue seems to be fixed so they are pushing the button, so it'll be out whenever it get's through Steam's...stuff, whatever that is.

What's the actual deal with selecting a car in multiplayer? In the last multiplayer game I played, I backed out of career mode with the Cleaver selected and then went into multiplayer. The server had "player's choice" selected, but when I went into the server it had me set to the default Eagle. I was even playing Die Anna, and it didn't default me to the Hawk.

Car selecting at least seemed to kinda work before, now it doesn't seem to work at all, at least for me. Am I missing something?

My main issue is that the pedestrian density is much thinner than previous games. I know it's a bad idea to up it with the performance issues, but has it been mentioned as something that could change in the future?

Far as I can tell MP car selection is saved and dealt with seperately from Career selection. (There are cars in career you're not allowed to use in MP - cop cars) In the MP Lobby click your car and then use the left and right arrows to select another car. Once you have the car you want you can accept the change and then a customise option will appear in the bottom menu if you want to change skins.

The driver you choose has no bearing on what car you drive, just the driver model that gets thrown out and the picture in your Profile.

Ah, okay thanks. I had absolutely no idea since I'm pretty sure they don't explain this or show buttons to press for changing cars on that screen (I use a 360 controller). Also the multiplayer car selection was previously determined by your last selected Career Mode car. I picked the Cleaver before the latest update and then went into multiplayer and it was still selected.

Yeah they've acknowledged the UI for car choice/customisation in MP needs work. Not sure how it works with a controller, probably move the left stick then hit A to select then probably bumpers or triggers to scroll through the cars same way you scroll the events in each chapter in career.

To be fair in Carmageddon you're less likely to crash due to driver error and more because some other oval office unleashed an Opponent Repulsificator at the wrong moment.

Been playing the android port today and hell, I wish I could play it on my PC while they patch the poo poo out of Incarnation. Android version runs smooth, is high-res and good enough to be played over 1 and 2 on PC in my opinion.

Seriouspost on this, if you're getting the Nvidia driver crash error, turn off shadows. I was getting it every time I tried to play last night, turned off shadows today, and played 3 full races w/o crashing once.

For some reason, my chase cam is stuck looking at the car from the side, & won't look from behind, so it's un-drivable. Cockpit-cam is useless, how the gently caress do I fix this so I can actually play the game?

AI update is out!

quote:

Update going live TODAY for the Beta release … and this one has some exciting NEW STUFF in it! Check this out

The AI now use PowerUps!
The AI behaviour has been improved in all event types, and they’re more aggressive in Classic Carma events!

Plus, the Controls Config file has been moved to allow editing without locking out the Multiplayer Mode, there’s a fix for edited Keyboard Control Configs not saving, and importantly - graphical settings have been tweaked as well, to make them easier to understand and tuned to give a better balance of performance versus graphical quality. MARVELLOUS!

We’ve been eagerly awaiting the “AI using PUps” thing, and now it’s in I can tell you it’s FANTASTIC FUN and it makes the game even more of an Multiplayer experience in Single Player! Val Hella repulsificating your advances! Don Dumpster spurting oil slicks from his arse all over your shiny new boots! The Terrible Twin aiming anvils at your vitals! Ivan the Bastard bowling slaughter mortars right up your chuff, plus many more highly amusing opponent/PowerUp combo moments WILL BE YOURS once the game has updated! So come one Carmafans – get yer update installed and get ready for some extra-ultra-violent vehicular CARMAFUN!

Okay, that is pretty great. Game is 50% off on Steam at the moment too.

They should probably make the cops target the AI cars, since they can actually fight back now. Maybe not in the Classic Carma races if the cops stealing your kills is such a problem, but definitely in the other modes. I'm pretty tired of being the only one losing points because of rear end in a top hat cop APCs wrecking my poo poo.

I think my PIS is Kangaroo, Anvil, Reccovery and something random. I don't use it much, mostly for getting around the levels as opposed to actual combat and stuff.

Speaking of getting around the maps does anyone know how the Smelly Bushes are laid out? Is it literally one per level?

There are many spread all across each level. For example on the first map there are ate least 10 or so just on or near all the roof tops. Make sure to check around the map edges and on top of every building. They like to stick them in corners and behind ramps too since you tend to be focusing on other things.

That's a bit disappointing. Unless they're not showing off some stuff it feels like there's really not that many more cars (if any) and no new tracks. We only have what, 2-3 classic Carma style tracks, and 3-4 arena sized ones?
