Lowering g_traffic to less than 1.0 will make the sparse AI traffic we already have even more sparse. That's not the way how to 'solve' bad AI behaviour... Even if it's a temporary 'solution'.supersobes wrote: ↑03 Oct 2022 21:58For the time being, I think the lack of traffic is actually okay. Before SCS starts getting the game to spawn more traffic, something should be done about the traffic behaviour that has seemingly gotten worse in one of the past few updates. I've actually turned my g_traffic down from 1.0 (the default) to 0.5. I've done so partially because I'm running the game on hardware that is considered somewhat old now, but also it seems to help with the traffic just randomly stopping in the middle of the highway for no reason. The traffic in its current state seems to work better when there are fewer vehicles on the road.
You cannot always memorize AI behaviour: trucks that shift lanes for no reason at all is something that always surprises me. Always.Axel Slingerland wrote: ↑03 Oct 2022 22:15But you can memorize what the AI traffic will do, because it is a computer program.
This is simply not true. A lot of times I drive differently in ATS than I would drive in real life; the AI cannot always respond to my driving style, which is totally understandable. But sometimes I really drive in ATS the same way as in real life (taking into account the limitations of the game vs real life); but even if I drive the same way as I do in real life, the AI behaves very bad.However, whether you can memorize what the AI will do or not, if you drive the same way you do (or at least the way you should) in real life, you will have nothing to worry about.
Well I have some fun with driving in ATS. But I like to have more fun. And one way to have more fun in ATS than I have now, is with a better AI.So if you drive like I do in the game, which I wouldn't even consider doing in real life, remember to have fun.
