Has anyone from Papyrus actually stated that there will be a Nascar 3? Is Papyrus currently working on any further patches for N2? I like the game however the caution lap bug has ruined some nice races for me. This is the one thing I wish would be fixed. EF
: Has anyone from Papyrus actually stated that there : will be a Nascar 3? Not there there "will" be a N3, but that they are working on one. : Is Papyrus currently working on any further patches : for N2? I like the game however the caution lap : bug has ruined some nice races for me. This is the : one thing I wish would be fixed. I totally agree! While Adam stated that Papy is not working on fixing the AI in N2, but they are concetrating on making N3, I think they should fix some of the major problems, such as the caution lap bugs. This does totally ruin the race! As a matter of fact it pisses me off big time. Especially after spending close to over an hour into a race to have it ruined by this bug. The other big AI bug is the fast cars "bogging" down due to really slow cars. As I look at it, Papyrus needs to fix these bugs in their current products for at least two reasons: 1) It is good customer relations. We bought their product and we should be happy with its performance in order for us to stay loyal to Papyrus. As the competition gets heavier in the computer racing market, they will need all the loyality they can muster. 2) The problems we are talking about are problems that have haunted ICR1/ICR2 and N1. They need to try and fix them in their current products so they won't be in their future products. Think back to the "Hand of God" bug. If someone (Charlie?) hadn't taken the bull by the horns and wrestled it to the ground, it would be present in N2. The same goes for the "traction" bug which was in both ICR2 and N1. Papyrus, please consider looking into these more than just an annoyance bugs in N2. I am not concerned with "cosmetic" bugs, but these are some major weaknesses in a otherwise excellent product. -- **************************** Michael E.

I agree with the above statements also and would like to add that they should work on fixing the pitting AI in multiplayer mode. It was stated in the latest patch that they had implemented a "work around" for this problem. As far as I can tell this "work around" doesn't work. Every time I try to run a multi player race that is longer than 1 pit stop, some one is parked in the clients' pit, or if the client should make it to the pit stall first, he gets punted out of there by an AI car. This makes running a multi player race of any length longer than 1 scheduled pit stop virtually impossible. This is a BIG BUG that really needs to be squashed IMHO. Am I the only one experiencing this? I ask because I haven't seen many posts about it. I'm also rather new to this newsgroup, so maybe it's already been hashed over. If anyone can offer a sugestion on how to race in multiplayer so that the client can actually make a pitstop, I'd like to hear it. Dale
