Screamer bug

2 posts by 2 people · 24 Apr 1996 - 26 Apr 1996

I'm up to the "Pro League" championship level, and I've been stuck on the second track for a while now (Mountain Valley ?). A couple of times I've noticed a car suddenly appear in front of me as I approach the finish line. This didn't really worry me before as I've never really been in a competitive position before. I've always put it down to a glitch in the graphics whereby the car was always there but not drawn properly. BUT Last night I was actually leading into that final straight !! The position indicator said I was first, there were no other cars in front until that ***y car appeared in front of me from out of nowhere and I ended up 3rd !! I am well pissed off about this - I don't mind being beaten fairly, but to have the game just drop a car in front of me at the fifnish is just too much. Has anyone else noticed this - the suddenly appearing car ? If it does it every time, how can you get through the Pro -League ? Extremely cross of Hemel Hemptead.

says... Hi John! I've certainly noticed it :(. It doesn't seem to be confined to just that track, either. The really fun (no, not really) bit is when a car is beamed right in front of you, you crash into it, lose speed and see the whole field zoom past. I managed to get past the pro league despite of this (through practice and perseverance, I guess), but am not playing Screamer anymore due to this bug. A shame really, because for me it had the potential to be an arcadish relief once I tired of constantly oversteering my way out of ICR2 races. Regards, Johan Hellgren
