Non contact race becomes contact race


Recommended Posts

Well this is a first for me. I was just doing a stunt race. The host had non contact on, but midway through the race, contact became enabled. Luckily I didn't get dumped or anything, but I did lose one position when a car turned me sideways. As you can imagine, it totally caught me off guard.

 

Video:

 

Notes:

 

The entire first lap is fast forwarded because I didn't want to cut anything out.

 

@ 1:00 the video is not fast forwarded and you can clearly see the race is still non-contact.

 

@ 2:01 you can clearly see contact is on as I lose a position to getting turned sideways.

 

Weird glitch. Definitely the first time I've seen or heard of it. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Sometimes when a player leaves a race their car will remain and drive around as a solid vehicle.

 

That doesn't appear to be the case here though. Weird glitch.

Yeah, I thought I was stupid for a second. I just kept thinking to myself "Am I dumb? Was this a contact race the whole time and I forgot?".

Happens when the host of the race leaves halfway through. Also happens when overtaking backmarkers.

The host was very fast and he and I battled for several wins. So I remembered his name and I noticed he did not leave. The pink car that made contact with me was for position.

 

So neither of the factors you mentioned were in play. A weird, weird glitch.

I've had it happen a few times, typically during races that have a lot of laps. I've only ever had it happen the other way around, however, once.

If necessary, I can go sort through all my damned clips to find examples.

Not necessary, but feel free if you want!

I've only had this happen to me in a premium race, definitely a weird glitch that can occur once in a great while it seems. Was catch up and slipstream still turned off once the non-contact factor went away?
