Trucks always crash into each other on the drags.

Post by Road_knight »

Every time two computer controlled opponents go on a J-style drag track they crash into each other when they go round the corner, and when I'm playing the opponent always goes into my lane and disqualifies itself.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

its a CPU speed issue, they drive better if you have less CPU power, there is no way to fix this except use an older computer, by older I mean 133mhz to 300mhz

you really can't race the computer on drags unless it's a straight drag. although nobody has really gone above and beyond in trying to figure something out. i'm sure if somebody tried hard enough it could be possible.

you could try a CPU kill program, but those only work if you only have 1 CPU, it wont stop a duel core.

it has nothing to do with processor speed, slayer... it has to do with how the course is set up in Traxx. that's why you also have messed up courses on some circuits and rallies as well.

the VAST majority of drag tracks aren't made to be raced with computer-controlled drivers. they're meant to be raced either alone or online with other people. very few are "comp-race" available. if they are, they will tell you in the readme. otherwise, don't even bother, it's not worth trying to race against the comps.

yep. it's all about the course set up in traxx. drags for the most part do not have the comp truck courses set because they are made for multiplayer use only.

to me that's a shame though because it takes so little time to set a comp truck course on a short track then merge it with one that's not. but oh well :)

I assume he's talking about MTM1, where you can watch the CPU trucks race.

There is no way to fix it other than to run it on a slower CPU.

As for MTM2 comp race drag tracks, the readme will say which lane the computer works in. If the CPU isn't in the proper lane, just restart the race.

yeas I asumed mtm1 aswell, as MTM2 doesn't support drag racing. and he mentioned disqualified, which is something that in the fake drag racing, would likely never be caught
