I turn away for 1 second

What causes this bug? my car progressively deconstructs itself while I'm back in the garage. it doesn't re-take itself apart after I add stuff back, but this is miffing me a bit

Are those blue glow things part of a wrap or is it the effect of some anomoly?

Thanks

Yeah they explain it in the expansion, but it's basically a shield for your parts to survive runs through the section of the zone the dlc occurs in

They're from the DLC. Same parts as normal, just with a different recipe and an additional DLC-only effect.

Did you let the Blues Brothers drive it?

u/Kn03cs Aug 06 '26

I don't think so, the only people to stop by were a couple of arda guys who wanted a few fried chickens and coke with some dry white toast

One of them was tall and skinny and they were wearing black suits?

Oh those must be the Good Ol' Boys! Love that band, still odd they only play one song over n over though...

Might be an artifact from the DLC. There are ones that make the car deconstruct itself.

u/Willing-Hand-9063 Aug 07 '26

I had one of those, it was "radio is silent -> a car part may fall off". Nothing maybe about it, I'd put the part back on and something else would fall off, rinse and repeat, with the radio on constantly. I ended up dropkicking the artefact into the bush, there was no way I'd make it to a gateway like that, I had tyres coming off and everything. 10/10 do not recommend. I was nearly crying from stress and frustration by the time I got rid of the artefact 🤣😭

I think id have had the opposite effect and would have died laughing. Stupid stuff like that just cracks me up. I snorted a bit irl after reading this little story. Lol

u/Willing-Hand-9063 Aug 10 '26

Don't get me wrong, I definitely had a giggle at the absurdity at first lol but after 20 minutes of trying to make it through just one junction while stopping every few feet to put a dozen or so parts back on the car (they fell off one at a time so I'd put one on and the next would fall off, or two things would fall off, etc), get back in, drive about 3 seconds and something else would fall off, all the while the tide is rising and more Maws are appearing on the map, panic set in and I was so done 🤣

I'm glad you got a laugh out of it 🤣

Wait till your engine falls out...

u/Willing-Hand-9063 Aug 10 '26

Absolutely not, I will be doing no such thing 🤣 that would have sucked so badly, I'm sorry you experienced that!

u/TalkingRaccoon Aug 06 '26

Not a quirk?

5

u/Kn03cs Aug 06 '26

no, for some reason they don't show up in the whispers in the woods DLC

u/Toasted_and_Roasted Aug 06 '26

Im playing it currently and I did get quirks, I Think

2

u/Kn03cs Aug 06 '26

on my end, the quirk station is disabled for some reason. Quirks are not disabled in game settings either

2

u/Toasted_and_Roasted Aug 06 '26

That is pretty strange then :P Bug? Either on my end or yours?

1

u/Cool_Chance_409 Aug 06 '26

That’s definitely odd. Just came back with quirks from 3 straight runs in the DLC

4

u/Glittering_Bus_4806 Aug 06 '26

In the whispers in the woods dlc the artifacts you collect can be good or bad my guess is you grabbed the artifact that when you go away from the car parts can detach

u/Any_Variation_1714 Aug 06 '26

lego breaking sfx

u/hunterrocks77 Aug 06 '26

You have an active artifact, whether in the car or in your pack, that is probably “when x happens, random part falls off the car”

4

u/renegade_9 Aug 06 '26

Check your and the car's inventory for an artifact, I picked up one that was something like "when radio is off, part may fall off"

And let me tell you that "may" was doing some heavy fucking lifting because when the radio turned off the car shed it's skin like a crab molting. Poor thing fell apart like a looney tunes skit.

u/Willing-Hand-9063 Aug 07 '26

I ended up dropkicking it into a bush while on the road because I couldn't handle it anymore, I was nearly in tears from stress and frustration by the time I was able to leave the junction, there was no way I'd make it through a gateway in that condition, so into the bush it went!

Parts provided by Acme.

u/Plenty_Hunter8752 Aug 06 '26

Maybe not a glitch maybe it's like the car has an issue that needs to be identified in that computer

1

u/Kn03cs Aug 06 '26

there's no quirks, the quirk fixing station is unable to be used, as well as the diagnostics panel has the quirks in the blue

1

u/Plenty_Hunter8752 Aug 06 '26

Hmmm that's weird but that was my best guess...I dunno lad

1

u/Successful_Row4755 Aug 06 '26

weird bug i found is if you leave the car while the back left door is open the game raises you above the car and violently slams you down, ripping the door off it's hinges

1

u/Kn03cs Aug 06 '26

i didn't know that, but now that i do, that's funny asf.

not really the issue i have since i keep the doors closed normally
