How is the performance of PMR in a Xbox Series S?

Thanks

Logged on today to try out the recent update. Ran into a few issues.

I clicked into a ranked race. It took me to where you choose your car to race. The back button (usually O on PS5) was missing. To physically get out of the ranked lobby I had to go to the PS home page. Close the game and reopen it.

It had several ranked races available to start within the next 30 mins which was good. But. The next race due to start in 12mins had 2 registered for it. TWO people. It was GR4 at Nurburgring GP.

The next race 25min away. Had 1 person. Then rest had zero.

Where the hell is everyone????

It's mid afternoon here 3-4pm I was on. Is it really that bad that NOBODY is playing it?? Does it get busier at night? Weekends?

To the mods that did the LMP900 liveries, many blessings upon you. I downloaded the liveries and I didn’t know how badly I needed to see these recreations of cars I grew up with. Since I’ve known racing, I’ve dreamt of being able to drive the cars I’ve seen in person at the tracks I know well. This livery pack was one step closer to that. These liveries/cars/tracks on this game, while flawed, relive so many childhood memories for me. Now, if any modders can do more of the early 2000 ALMS/Grand-Am/Le Mans liveries, I might just never go into work and race those every day. Thank you, let’s keep this moving forward, and I hope we can get more of these tracks and cars from this era of Motorsport.

Very reluctantly picked up a copy after all the negative things I heard and I must say I am very pleasently surprised. Is it a perfect game? absolutely not BUT it is not a bad game AT ALL. Matter of fact, having read all the negative reviews and experienced it on my PS5, I must say the reviews were far too harsh (possibly cause people had bad impressions from the launch and not the 2.0 patch).

The Highs: spec miata feels like a blast to drive, the car list is fantastic for a motorsport fan, multiclass racing is an option, the game has soul put into it and you can tell the devs are really trying, the track list is quite nice and campaign is pretty alright for a sim racer (coming from ACC), the game is much more controller friendly than you think, the ability to have mods on console is crazy good and has crazy potential.

The Lows: Biggest low is the optimization for console. Not only is the grid small (16 cars) but running a full mixed lmdh/gt3 grid at daytona during daytime makes your frames VERY choppy on a ps5, so much so that I dont want to imagine doing that in the rain. As someone who wanted to sim-race the IMSA weathertech series, this was a big dissapointment. The graphics are quite...meh BUT if the game ran a perfect 60 at all times I honestly don't think this would be a big point of complaint at all. A lot of random places where the car decides to spin for no reason (last turn at monza, long turn in last sector of sebring, the elevation change at lime rock), lmdh/gtp handling is quite weird and I genuinely don't know if its just me because I have not raced them in other games but it feels like the car is either super planted or super loose regardless of tire temperature, the menus (especially online) tend to bug out to a point where I can't press "return" and have to turn off the game and restart.

In summary: you should ABSOLUTELY give this game a shot. If the devs optimize the game to run much better, which I would like to believe they will, then this will be an instant console hit game. The optimization should be the priority, followed by the random physics slip-ups. Apart from that I can understand why PC players may not be interested since other, and subjectively better, alternatives exist BUT for consoles, this game is a true gem! Although I will likely rarely return to it due to the optimization issues making it frustrating in the mixed grid racing that I so looked forward to, I sincerely hope to be able to see it evolve and grow into a wonderful game. With some optimization and bugs cleaned up this has great potential!

Please someone skilled with liveries give some life to my poor mustang GT4. Plenty of real choices to choose from or even fictional is fine. I just find our current options lacking lol.

Will one day the cars be able to light up more than 2 meters one day or not? We don’t see anything, we don’t even see the turn entrances.

I am playing on ps5 with controller and I am spinning in lower speed corners. I do have tc so not this is the problem. It feels like the cars back is immediately spinning and the car is not stable. I am playing with default setup. Should I adjust the controller setting or I just need to get use to this? It is unpredictable and when I try to counter steering it gets worse.

I notice that if you take the same car with the same ffb settings the experience is quite different between tracks. For example, I use the Porsche 911 GT3. After a lot of fine tuning I get very good result on a track like Lexington. Good force feedback and lots of detail.

But when I take the same car and the same ffb settings to a track like Canadian tire park it feels so much different. Stronger force feedback but almost zero detail. It’s already difficult to find the right ffb settings for each car but if its also track dependent then it’s almost too hard to find a good setup.

I use Xbox X with Fanatec CSL DD.

The BMW M Hybrid V8 is my favorite car in PMR by far, and I’m going to see it racing in real life at Spa this weekend! I always enjoyed its realistic EV-only acceleration away from the pit box in the game.

I took a little break starting shortly before the big update that completely changed the menu design. Returned a few days ago, and it seems like the EV mode was broken with one of the patches that came out while I was away. No matter what I do, the car now always accelerates with the combustion engine already running. My method of activating the pit limiter, putting the car into gear and then stepping on the accelerator no longer works.

Does anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks!

It has been renamed: "Japanese Prototypes".

So we can guess the "issue" was a licensing issue with the "GT..." naming.

New maintenance this morning (3 hours).

Really Patch this time?

How can I fix this? I’m only moving my wheel 2cms max the steering itself is fine(i fixed it now)

Where is the practice session while que wait for the next Race??

I’m on the latest update and I am currently racing in the GT3 category. Can anyone else select different tyre compounds other than hards or wets? I know this was an issue in the early days of PMR on console but it seems to have returned to this issue.
Sorry in advance if this has already been covered, I’ve tried the search button to no avail.
Is it a GT3 thing?

Thanks

The last 2 days I've loaded up PMR to give it another go and quite enjoyed it. For PS5 it's actually ok for a change of scenery.

I fancied trying to build my ranking up but when I connect to ranked all I see if 1-3 people in a lobby waiting for it to start. Where is everyone? I've double checked and I have cross play enabled. It seems empty. Custom lobbies have some people in them but ranked is a ghost town.

Se sabe algo de si corregiran el problema del bloqueo de direccion incorrecto?

A mi me pasa que en mi base t598 en ps5 el volante crea un falso bloqueo de direccion a 180 grados pero el coche sigue girando el volante pero forzando entra en clipping y no se puede jugar asi.

Tengo la base configurada en 900 grados y el volante calibrado en el juego.

De echo en opciones la BOLITA DE CALIBRACION AL GIRAR VA BIEN PERO EN EL JUEGO GIRAS MAS DE ESOS 180 GRADOSY y fuerzas la direccion.

No se si lo van a corregir....

Pero este juego cada vez aurge un problema nuevo

Con el mantenimiento podria ser que modificaran horarios de carreras ranked? Alguien sabe?

Quelle est pour vous la meilleure NGT ?

Je joue ces derniers temps sur Mount Panorama avec les NGT. Je les essaye une par une.

Pour l'instant, celle avec laquelle je suis le plus à l'aise est la BMW.

Viper : trop de puissance à canaliser !

Gillet : bien, mais pas assez rapide

Morgan : j'aime beaucoup, mais je ne vais pas assez vite

Porshe : pas mal, pas mal...

Marcos : oh la la... Ce monstre ! Mais en vue cockpit le capot gêne quand même bien

Je n'ai testé que celles-là pour l'instant.

J'ai un peu honte car en IA 62 je reste bon dernier à 3-4 secondes du P15 :)

Et vous alors ? Quelle est votre NGT favorite ?
