    I have not driven the update much, just a few laps at Laguna, to compare with AC. But on those couple of laps, in Audi GT3 and in a second session in a BMW M235i, time and again cars from behind slammed into me, unprovoked, and in general did not act with the ammount of awareness I got used to in the past. Since last physics update, the AI was fighting while beign aware, it now was more fighting with beeing much less aware, it seems. The changes there must have been to the AI, I do not like, its a step backwards, and a quite fundamental detoriation. I want back the AI before this version as of yesterday.

    Not many laps, but in those few laps 6 or 7 such collisions? Many took place before the cork screw and on the straight at the pits.

    Please, the AI in the GT3 physics update was such a massive advance, dont screw it up this way so unneeded.

    Bit tough to judge an update when you only have a handful of laps with them :p

    "BMW B6 Alpina - Bop adjustments and fuel use adjustments. Leaderboards entries with this car are wiped."

    Painful...

    I haven't, and said so. Its one very specific detail only that sprang to my eye immediately, several times, and only that I mark.

    Usually I am one of the guys defending RR against claims by some critics that "the aI constantl crashes into me, shoots me off, I cannot race RR, its so bad due to its bad AI." And the new AI that came with the GT3 update, i have celebrated.

    Its really strange if I start to complain about the AI slamming into me. Some months ago, when everybody was saying the AI was too tough, I said "dont touch it", and when they nevertheless toned it down a bit later on, I said I was not too happy with that decision.

    I think that sbtm meant that you can't revert to the old AI by yourself (and it didn't change since the last update by the way).
    You can't revert to older version of the game :p

    According the change log there has been some changes to the ai (even though these might not affect the likelyhood of being rammed)

    • AI - further improvements to make AI more careful around pit-entry, decreasing risk of AI overtaking a pitting car on wrong side of path
    • AI - further improvements of AI side-by-side logic
    • AI - Improved their decision making in changing tyres or not when having to refuel in a non mandatory pitstop race

    Yeah, but that was what I meant, it has nothing to do with ramming. Just calm them down at pit-entry and making them smarter about strategy ;)

    no, BoP seems to work. it's still very fast but now "only" as fast as the AMG ...with still a lot better fuel consumption.
    at least it's not far the best GT3 anymore.
    RUF is also good now - i don't know how the developers and test drivers missed the fuel calculations/consumptions so much...which is so obvious...

    I was really wondering as you wrote about the ai... to be honest i can‘t imagine that there where any substantial changes made to the AI in such a short time...
    have you tried a race on a track that you have tested after the november-update? Maybe it is laguna seca that isn‘t well optimized or your pace isn‘t comparable to other tracks?! laguna seca needs a while to get used to - at least in my case ^^
