There is a typo in the tutorial when it talks about simulating multiple months at once for the first time. This is right after you designed the components for your first car. I didn't get a screenshot but it says something like "you should entire 4" when talking about entering a number into the input for months to simulate. I'm guessing this should be enter and not entire.

Sorry for the lack of screenshot. I clicked continue accidentally and it was gone.]]>

the AI vehicles seen via the "View Competition" window are all over the place with their body styles and not adhering to the series restrictions. This results in full-sized vans racing in "De Mans" (which is classed as a "sports" restricted event)- would sure be fun to watch though.]]>

Today is my day =)... here is another bug.

When i decide to allocate a selected amount of money to each category of R&D teams (chassis, engines, vehicle body etc) it doesn't matter which amount of money i select, but what i discovered is that at the next turn I fund the bar at the maximum value.

To give u an example:

Month X:
Chassis R&D team: I allocate 3,5 mln
Engine R&D team: I allocate 5.5 mln
GEarbox R&D team: I allocate 450,000
Vehicle body R&D team: I allocate 1 mln

Month X+1: When i go and checkit i find
Chassis R&D team: 20 mln allocated (bar at maximum)
Engine R&D team: 30 mln allocated (bar at maximum)
GEarbox R&D team: 35 mln allocated (bar at maximum)
Vehicle body R&D team: 20 mln allocated (bar at maximum)

Al the number shown are just picked up randomly. but the proportion are quite realistic.


One issue i found out in the previous patch is that i'm not able to block the amount to the selected value. it keeps on changing even if i check the box "block the percentage". I was not able to check it in the the latest patch since i had the problem expressed above.

Thanks in advance]]>

So far I have:
1. Ran Steam as administrator.
2. Restarted computer.
3. Deleted the .blob file in Steam, as well as deleting and redownloading several Steam DLL's recommended in other places.
4. Attempted to run in offline mode.
5. Verified integrity of game cache.
6. Manually installed OpenAL.
7. Re-installed GearCity.
8. Deleted and re-downloaded all Steam files except steam.exe, steamapps, and userdata.

Anyone have more suggestions?

EDIT: Solved with a full Steam re-install.]]>

For the entire game I have had far and above the highest luxury ratings on my cars and have been consistently among the highest comfort ratings yet I have an Abysmal luxury prestige and most of my opposition are either Great or Fantastic.
I've also had a terrible quality rating for decades but it's recently shot up to Fantastic and I haven't really done anything to change that... well, nothing that I hadn't already been doing since the first turn anyway.

Here's a save cuz they're fun.

I have 2 good models in production now, a pickup and a sedan, both in the top of most selling cars in North-America. But i need to upgrade the production to meet demand (every turn im selling all the cars i produce) so i ordered a factory upgrade. After seeing no upgrade for a couple turns i went to see the factory details and saw something very weird.
There seems to be 2 production lines (it says somewhere the factory has 12 lines, of which 10 are directed to the pickup and the sedan) dedicated to produce a car which i dont see in the production screen. I do remember discontinueing a vehicle in the research dep. (not sure how though) but as seen in the screenshots below, this vehicle has a random number and very high unit cost. (which i must add i dont see in the expendures screen...) even so my company doesnt seem to be harmed by those unit costs it seems that production is eating up 2 production lines (i think?)

Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong ?

A savegame can be provided if any dev. wants.

I've attached screenshots showing my designs vs the competitions and how the AI won is way beyond me.

Perhaps my drivers were just unprepared for the massive amounts of power and just straight out crash into walls?

Hit the picture limit. Here's the rest.

Almost forgot to mention, the last one I'm designing just for the race right under the displacement limit. Not even going to build a single one for cars since it's so damn huge it wouldn't fit in any chassis I have. Should have named that one "Out of Spite 1.0" or something. If I don't win with that then I'd say racing is really borked.

the competition is selling very low amounts of vehicles in my games running the newest version. Has any one else noticed this? They seem to be priced too high...however, it may be an isolated problem with my installation, as I've done some file tinkering...I did revert all changes and also reverted the files using Steam, but the issue persists. If no one else is experiencing this, I'll do a complete reinstall.]]>
