My bad UE4 cars

So… You’re getting into the region of making another Porsche of Automationverse, huh…? We’ll see how will that work out :smiley:

Why is this engine so inefficient?

Of course it’s fast.

Props to you for figuring out how to fill out the rear! I had the same idea for the tail lights based off the Saleen S5 Raptor but couldn’t figure out how to get around the curve at the top. I suck at making modern cars haha. Looks good!

Those last two designs look the part, and have performance to match. In particular, I dig the taillight loop on the Ryujin.

UE4 has basically zero in-game bugs for me but it crashes so often and for seemingly no reason (eg I move the camera, game crashes, the next day it’s something else) that it’s become almost impossible to create a car without being frustrated to the point that I just give up. I deduced in the previous versions that it was down to post-processing being set too high, and this fixed the problem, but now it’s back.

It amazes me that these random crashes, which I have been having since the UE4 game was released, were fixed in the update before this one, and came back in the car designer overhaul as if they weren’t even acknowledged.

It has been 218 days since Open Beta R1 was released. I’m afraid that at this point it’s unacceptable, even for an open beta. This is more of an open alpha, especially since the actual core intended gameplay (campaign) hasn’t even been implemented yet.

So don’t expect any new cars until a hotfix rolls around for a bug that has existed for 8 months.

Hello Fella!

Can you please post the Specifications of your PC? (Processor, Windows version etc) That could help to narrow it down somewhat. If the game crashes randomly we have to fix it, also i hope you always send the BugSplats?

Also: What also could be is some derelict files causing a bit of a hiccup. Go to your \Documents\My Games\Automation folder and clear all the settings.lua and maybe the .db files (attention, you may lose your cars and engine, so dont if you dont want to - its optional) then go to C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\AutomationGame\ and delete the Saved folder completely.

That way you practically reset the game to “Day 0”, which could possibly help if there is some file laying around from OpenBeta Day1 that causes an issue on Day218.

I’ll try deleting the Saved folder later. As in, right after posting this.

EDIT: This seems to have worked. I’ll post the first-gen Ryujin today or tomorrow.
EDIT 2: No it didn’t. Fuck.

Sorry to hear you’re getting a bunch of crashes, I suspect the reason we’ve not acknowledged/fixed this bug, is I don’t think it’s one that anyone has reported to us, and it seems like it might be relatively rare.

Tagging @zeussy incase he has any questions about it.

We know about the current random crash issue. The issue is deep in UE4 that we have been working with Epic trying to solve it for the last 2 months.

The main issue with this crash is we cannot replicate it in house. Some people get afflicted by it really badly. Others never see it (unfortunately like us). From that data I have gathered, it seems to affect about 3% of Play Sessions.

Back in Early November, I did send out an email to all people who had bug reported it and provided an email address in the Bug report. Thanking them for reporting the issue, and explaining that we are working on it.

In the UE4 Open Beta Discussion Thread had also several back and forths with @Radializer who also gets this issue, building a specific version to try and log and pin point the issue.

I am working on the issue, I am also working on the rest of the game as well. And try to progress with the issue as we get more data on it.

Thank you and sorry Zeussy.

Sorry, double post again, but if I just edited the post I don’t think the thread would bump. Correct me if I’m wrong.

It does 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and tops out at 223 mph.

Neat perfs. My hypercar entry for the competition only reaches 218mph with 850hp. Then again it’s probably more track focused.

Why did you choke it? Hypercars don’t care about fuel consumption

It’s has SOHC so that’s all I can get from it. No idea why, but 575 hp seems to be more than enough
Nevermind, just checked, it’s DOHC. Regardless, I can only squeeze out 575 before it knocks.

20 years ago, such power outputs would have been very competitive indeed… Today, it feels like a purist’s wet dream.

Edit: the specific output is actually quite high for its time.

Strange. I’m certain you can get more than 100hp of specific output from that engine

when you say “can’t get any more power before it knocks”, does that mean “mix at the richest setting right before it loses power again, ignition timing at 100, cam profile at 100, long tubular exhaust headers, performance intake with ITB, and max up the compression until it explodes”? If not, you can still add power.

But hey.

To compare this to the real world, the first gen Lamborghini Murcielago made 580hp out of a 6.2L V12 and that was in 2001, not 1998 so eh.

(Sorry about the double post, accidentally posted before finishing.)
