N3 replay bugs

Hi all,
         i was racing online and doing well, when 2 racers in front got
in an accident and since i was quite close to them, i wasn't able to
avoid it as well. So my hood was damage, my back fender as well.

When checking the N3 replay from the beginning, at the starting line my
car have no hood and my back fender was bend !!! N3 was showing the car
like it was in the
last part of the race ???

I wonder what Papyrus Beta testers are testing ???? I think Beta testers
should be
good racers with programming background, and somebody who will try to
find bugs
in any way, he/she can provoke them !!!, not just going around the oval
and do perfect laps and learn the game before all others consumers and
have a lead advantage. It looks more like that than serious Beta testing
!!!

I can believe this replay bug past Beta testing and nobody have seen
this !!!
Or the other bugs with the best tracks times wrong.

I know Beta testers could overlook some bugs, bug this were quite
obvious !!!

Bye Rosaire

I can only conclude that Marketing insisted on hitting a release date.

The bugs are too obvious to have been missed - just they couldn't be fixed
in time.

Are they a show stopper - no - so release & fix later

So we wait for them to be patched :(

From a serious on-line league perspective the multiplayer bugs are a major
problem. I guess the view is that the majority can enjoy the core game which
works ok, and tolerate the odd replay glitch. The more serious will buy it
anyway and wait for the patch to fix the problems.

I doubt the beta testers are at fault - I think most will match your
criteria - and I am sure Papyrus are not short of willing volunteers from
this newsgroup.

PS - I could be available as a  beta tester :)
