Tonight, ATS taught me that Primm is a real place and not just some lovely shanty town in FONV. Thanks, SCS!

I wish I took a picture but I loaded my save already once with my truck on an unfamilar street and upside down. Reloading fixed it, if anyone notices that small issue

So yeah, whenever I'd started up ATS I found I was getting a sort of CPU slowdown. Checked Steam and noticed it was trying to initiate a download and then stopping in a continual loop. Here's a lovely youtube clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZJmCQbz-aY Edit: OKAY thats weird... apparently this ONLY happens when I have my Steam Controller on.

AI drivers are too timid on the intersections. I was standing behind 5 cars on this large one turning left and only one of them got through each light cycle, even though easily 2-3 could do it. Then I ended up behind a van on a high speed T-intersection with no lights and the dumbass just wouldn't go, so I had to go off-road and exercise my god-given right to make that turn. I could've saved & loaded too I guess.

In America the people getting on the high way has to yield to traffic on it? And there are no lanes to accelerate or slow down? Going from a standstill to highway speed in a regular lane sounds like a terrible idea. Also you'll be fined when some rear end in a top hat rear ends you.Hogo Fogo posted:AI drivers are too timid on the intersections.

Erwin posted:Do you really think the most likely reality is that this is true about the entire US and that this game is 100% accurate about that fact? Sounds about right based on where I live. If you're trying to get on the highway, gently caress you, I was here first. The best is when the entrance lane immediately turns into an exit lane so you have about five seconds to get up to the appropriate speed and find an opening to join the indifferent wall of highway traffic.

I dunno how it is everywhere else, but in NYS you're supposed to get over to allow the flow of traffic from the onramp to be able to enter. Keywords, SUPPOSED, TO. The rear end Stooge posted:This is a known bug, the Steam forums are full of people asking about it.

TS has always had somewhat stodgy yielding AI and its one of those cases where its maybe arguably realistic. Barreling over the shoulder until traffic permits is maybe vaguely illegal but sometimes what you can do.

Grey Fox posted:USA has those, but in my region they appear to be more common in densely-populated areas. Those across-intersection lights are 100% crucial for driving in Washington, DC since you're often surrounded by trucks and can't see the light that's directly in front of you. My point about America specifically (and also Europe) was the coloured turning arrows. In that picture you can see that the right lane has a red arrow. That lane can't turn until the arrow goes green. I thought this was a common thing but I haven't seen anything like it in either game

Are you sure, or just think so from long memory? Of the five states I've had to review the laws for, all of them require a merger to yield to the existing traffic, no extra caveats (like moving over a lane if there is room). Now if someone deliberately maneuvers themselves by speeding up or slowing down to block you, that is usually illegal. And there is a required distance between you and the next car which should allow a safe merger if you're going freeway speeds when you do the actual merge. There only thing I could find about NY law on the subject was when two highways merge together, not at an onramp.

Why are the brakes so sticky in this game? I guess ETS2 was the same way, but what I mean is if you are braking hard, and you let off the brakes at 20 or 30 mph, you are coming to a complete stop no matter what.

Could also just be a simulation of the air brakes. Don't air brakes have a short lag time between pushing the pedal and the brakes actually applying? I'd assume it's the same in reverse.

The only problem I have is that when you look around, the camera won't automatically snap back like every other vehicle game. Also, with the steam controller, I've found that the trigger buttons aren't as sensitive as the Xbox 360 ones, so I haven't made the switch yet.

I feel like I must be doing something wrong with the performance. I've got a GTX 970 that hasn't had any other issues. With directx presets Low = 60 fps Medium = 30-40 fps High = 20-30 fps Ultra = 15- mid 20s fps Running in OpenGL it doesn't look as good, but it's more like 45-60 on ultra. I get the impression I should be getting better directx fps, but I haven't been able to find anything useful online.  EDIT: Also, it makes me suspicious that running at 400% on ultra is only a few FPS less then 100% on ultra.

Weird, my 970 works fine, constant 60 maxed settings. Dream mods: Weather changes based on region/state. Here in The Great Plains we have lots of amazing storms. Apparently it's less so in California. Radios that can be area based. I like having to search for a new station after getting out of range because I'm a horrible sperg. The GPS being able to read the metadata from the internet radio station and tell me what I'm listening to. Real radios do this now.

Some of the higher profile google hits show that traffic law is a loving mess and the handbook will usually say don't stop at the merge because its more dangerous, while the letter of the law assigns right of way to the highway traffic.

Tippis posted:Yeah, there's definitely something screwed up with those numbers. That's about equal to (or worse than) what I get with my 760 — a 970 should do a whole lot better. If it's not driver or card-specific, you'll have a fun time hunting that one down. I'm on a 660GTX from 2011 and everything in mint maxed out. Curious

Dark_Swordmaster posted:Weird, my 970 works fine, constant 60 maxed settings. Well, something is hosed up. Reflection quality has a big impact and acts... really weird. If I drive out and park in the middle of the road with low reflection quality teens to 20s fps just sitting there. Toggle reflection quality to medium. 70-90 fps as long as I'm just sitting there not moving. The moment I hit the gas and start driving fps goes (almost instantly) back down to 20 or so. Park the truck, toggle reflections up or down a notch, back to 70-90 fps (100+ if I lean out the window and look back). Hit the gas... roll forward a couple yards and BAM back down to 18-24fps. The only thing I can think of is asset streaming from the hard drive. But I don't hear it chugging or anything weird.

Here in Pennsylvania you have the added fun of people coming to the end of an on ramp and rather than being up to highway speed, they come to a complete stop. I mean, yes, our state is dumb enough to put stop signs at the end of an on ramp during construction work but gently caress people who stop on every on ramp. I'm trying to merge properly. Also, here in PA, we don't have guard rails we have "guide rails."
