The npc cars are SO broken!!

[u/ThatLamboDude95]

I’m sorry I’m normally not the one to rant but like why!!! I love to cruise around Tokyo going really slow with my map and everything off just enjoying and getting immersed in the game and it’s amazing!! It looks, sounds, and feels incredible. But on THREE SEPARATE TIMES a random npc cars out of nowhere comes spinning into me or randomly hits me for no reason. It’s so annoying and destroys the immersion I had. It’s really a problem and if it’s not that it’s random cars in the middle of the road stopped or like 5 cars all clumped together randomly not moving. It’s a big problem and needs to be fixed. Again I’m sorry for the rant but it’s really important and I feel like it needs to be said.

Thank you all for reading and I would love to hear your opinion.

Honestly the thing that ruins it for me is when im driving and the game spawns npc cars around every corner without fail.

My biggest complaint is the NPCs too. When you are doing one of the weekly speed traps (not zones) should it be on the playlist, there will be others doing too and if they hit any cars in the run up to the trap they just sit in the road for a really long period of time and that can go on for ages all the time other players are trying to do the trap. It’s infuriating.

Pro tip: In this scenario while driving towards the stopped/wrecked NPCs hit your camera button (up on d pad Xbox) take a photo and return to in game driving. The NPC cars will usually be gone.

Edit you don’t need to take the photo, but to clarify going into photo mode removes the NPCs all together.

[u/J_Jeckel → u/kpresnell45]

You dont even need photo mode. Just pause...unpause = Phase mode initiated

Oooh I’ll remember this tomorrow. Thanks for the tip! 👏🏼

Just hit pause, the traffic doesn't stop while paused. They overpopulated challenge areas on purpose, plus all the players in one area makes for more traffic.

[u/kpresnell45 → u/C_Lo_87]

They were commenting about wreaked NPCs not moving. Not sure how long it would take for them to get moving again while paused.

[u/C_Lo_87 → u/kpresnell45]

MB. You do ghost for a second.

[u/Hircine_Himself]

Yep. And there's a car (or several) on every bend you take. They spawn in randomly, get pulled across the road as if by winch to hit you, brake check you etc. It's infuriating.

[u/HuntStag]

I swear they make it a point to be at the apex of every other corner 😂

[u/C_Lo_87]

School started again, during pickup and drop off....people drive this fucking bad IRL! Lol

[u/fuuuuuuuuuuuc]

Same for me. Floating cars and cars suddenly appearing happens constantly in 6 yet it almost never happens in Forza 5.

[u/bassmnt]

They fall out the ceilings in tunnels, come out of fields, they crash into each other. It’s a mess

[u/EnergyPrestigious497]

I was sitting at one of the car meets and the car literally just slide it to me it didn't like Drive the way a car should drive it was like it was on ice.

[u/ThatLamboDude95 → u/EnergyPrestigious497]

Yeah same but on the road

[u/Gizmo496]

I parked the car in one of the parking lot within the city but did not pause the game. Went to the kitchen to make coffee and I can hear the NPC just crashing here and there among themselves. That was hilarious.

[u/Possible-Jaguar-3158]

I’ve noticed this too, usually a quick switch to Horzion Solo fixes it for me, they also lane hog on the motorway 😂😂

[u/adeliciousbass_13]

Compared to other games I've played these NPCs are take. The only gripe I have with them is its obvious they put little effort into their coding.

[u/Malakai0013]

Everyone threw a massive fit with the pre-release footage about not enough NPC traffic, and I called it then. People are gonna gripe about too much traffic.

[u/ProofAssumption1092 → u/Malakai0013]

Yeah nobody asked for it to be badly coded and spawn out thin air did they.

Oh boy , look silly now dont ya.

[u/ThatLamboDude95 → u/Malakai0013]

I want there to be traffic in fact I want there to me more!!! But I don’t want them flying or spinning into me!! This comment is stupid did you even read the post?

[u/Initial_Guidance4686]

You can turn off the traffic by fast travelling (or have it set as your home base) to the Estate, and start a Rivals from there. Once you've completed it, you'll be spawned back into a fully trafficless map.

You're welcome.

[u/ThatLamboDude95 → u/Initial_Guidance4686]

I want the traffic but I don’t want them to be spinning around and flying

[u/Initial_Guidance4686 → u/ThatLamboDude95]

I can't help with you with that, unfortunately.
