My CPR beta-Patch Results...

7 posts by 5 people · 07 Jan 1998 - 12 Jan 1998

I didn't spend alot of time evaluating everything the beta-patch did, but I still seem to have a "null-zone" problem. I can tell the null-zone adjustment is working for the steering, which is nice now, but I am still having a problem where if I stop and put the car in neutral and not apply any gas or brake, the engine revs max out and the tires just sit there and chatter. Is anyone else having this problem? p.s. I did notice a frame rate increase as well! -Jeff

Neutral works for me. When I put it it neutral, the revs slowly go down and the engine just idles. Are you sure you have your accelerator calibrated correctly so that you have no acceleration input when you're off the accelerator? -- Kevin (Remove the "x-" prefix from my address in order to reply via email)
You need to re-calibrate. Pump the brake and gas at least four times. I probably only did it twice before. Once I did that, the throttle smoothed out and made a significant improvement in the handling. Dave
Sorry dude, if it were that simple I think I would have figured it out. Anyway, I tried your solution by pumping and turning at least 10 times and it still does the same thing.

Try pushing the gas while you are in neutral, then come back and tell it's "fine". Cheers! John

>Try pushing the gas while you are in neutral, then come back and tell >it's "fine". I'm aware of the car behavior when the gas is pressed in neutral, which is why I suggested recalibrating the accelerator so that there would be no gas input while in neutral. I suspect this bug is a low priority anyway. Who cares what the car does while the accelerator is pressed in neutral. This has zero affect on gameplay. -- Kevin (Remove the "x-" prefix from my address in order to reply via email)

But I think it's just one of those annoying things to remind us how little time/effort was put into finishing this game off properly. I wish it was the games only flaw.
