The 1.6 update does feel like it’s on the verge of becoming a debacle. Reiza started teasing a “summer” release in May, and all summer long play testers have been in their forums talking about how incredible it is. Now Reiza is repeatedly missing its own (publicly shared!) timelines for dev blogs, preview videos, etc. I don’t have a problem with an update taking time. But teasing it as the most important and impressive leap for the game for FIVE MONTHS sure is a way to reduce enthusiasm for the current product. There’s a point where “just you wait, it’s awesome” style promotion becomes mean spirited.
Because of themselves 1.6 is a meme more than anything else. I don't see it coming out before december. On the forum a few beta testers said there was still a lot to do.
I know, It reminds me of Rennsport, And I still can't get that to work for me, Reminds me to uninstall the Epic games crap Rennsport is in, Doing that releasing it to a few but not the rest stinks, And for people like me who bought nearly all the DLC's feels a bit sly, Using other sim racers in that way feels dirty to all the ones who cannot try out 1.6, You are right people will go off AMS 2 and just go back to titles like RaceRoom, For example, Or ACC, And with AC EVO coming out, AMS 2 do really need to sort it out, It feels like 1.6 is going to become an Xmas release, And you is right teasing people with dates while there is people who is on 1.6 just feel like the move a game makes using micro transactions, To make even more money, I do AMS 2 coz I am able to afford the cost of the DLC's, I would struggle to buy all the DLC for RaceRoom, That is just a fact, An I am praying that game companies do not start using subscription based fee's to be able to have any future updates, I seen nVidia got something that if you pay 20 pounds a month you get access to 40 series servers, Like what is that about, Pay money for more performance, Is that what it means, lol.... But yeah the longer people got to wait for this mythical 1.6 that a few got, If a few got it, Then why isn't it just released like already, But yeah what you say is right....
I'm with ya, it's becoming a bit of a refrain with no substance....the value of setting expectations needs to be recognised by Reiza, I'm happy with the current driving experience & would've been very pleased with more content & a big improvement in the online experience. Fingers crossed this doesn't become a pancake for the devs, they're a dedicated bunch but there's only so many times a tempter feeds can be rolled out before people become tired & skeptical.
will number of cars be upgraded in multiplayer? there is AMS2 community cup races - the host invited all different simracing communities including us 10tenth racing community to race in their championship. it's amazing but they have 2 servers running now with about 17 cars in each server. I don't know what's the maximum grid number in AMS2 but ACC can do up to 100 cars! many thanks
@@hereward1971 wow, good to hear that, nice surprise. I wonder what tier do you comment. I'm 10T racing on ps4 and ps5 ACC. wanted to drop ps4 races and take AMS2 on PC instead but I can't, it's such a good bunch of people in our community. Now since I bought PC I'l have to race Tuesdays PS4, Wednesdays AMS2, Thursdays PS5 haha
Can we even trust the beta testers? The way the paddock club is set up ($200 to enter, limited time) makes it so mainly the hardcore fans get to beta test the game, doesn't this mean they are more likely to be biased?
Bro if you speak to anyone within Rieza, Please tell them to sort the points issue, I had a terrible night last night, I almost turned it off, What gets me most annoyed at the moment, Is people who spins cars out in the first few corners, All night last night, Race after race online was a crash fest, I am finding it impossible to get passed S1300, I am trying my hardest to get past S1400 but people are crashing into me causing my points to drop, Why can't people learn how the car drives before they step into a race, I know what it is, People slamming the foot down not knowing the spin will happen when the revs get higher, lol, Yeah I had a crap experience online last night, Another thing that keeps happening is, During Qualification, Rather than getting a fast lap time, People try actually racing in a Qualification, The idea is to get a fast lap time ready for the race. If you get the fastest lap time then you is first, And that is what Qualification is about, And people bless there hearts, Actually stopping until I pass so they can try race me, During a Qualification, Thing is only a few keep up, lol, And I ain't even fast, I am still 3-4 seconds behind pole, But I don't crash into people, I try avoid hitting anyone else at all costs, even when you can go through the other cars, I still choose to try avoid them, But why people are trying to race me during a Qualification is actually making it worse for me, Giving me a bad experience, The weekends is the worst for crashing, No I am not kidding it was really bad last night, I was trying to avoid lobbies where I can loose points, When I am trying my hardest to get up the licenses with points, And a lot of points is being taken away from no fault of my own, So please can some one improve the points system on AMS 2, I only do online sim racing now I got enough in game practice, lol, Most my AMS 2 career has been spent doing online AMS 2 racing, I might even try grab a year of iRcaing in a sale, So I got something else with a point system where I can gain better licenses, That is how bad AMS 2 crashing is becoming, And I swear there is a few on AMS 2 using cheats, I mentioned that I used MSI Afterburner, But I just said Afterburner, To give my 3060 a bit more wiggle room, MSI Afterburner is pretty good at overclocking your GPU without crazy amounts of knowledge about overclocking the GPU, But some one mentioned Afterburner but in cheat form, I said to the dude nor, I am on about getting more performance from a GPU not cheating, I would refuse to race with people if I knew they was actually cheating, Cheating is one of the worst forms of deceit you can get, If a person cheats at a simulation game, Then I can only imagine what else that person would do for some sort of gain, But yeah it seems like something called Afterburner is used in sim racing cheating, I been hearing a lot of people is cheating in ACC, That has put me off ACC hearing that it is flooded with cheaters, Jardier even mentioned it, I did not think though for one minute that people would be able to cheat on AMS 2 see.... I will jump on AMS 2 earlier again tonight and see if it as bad as last night, I am not one to moan but when it is race after race and crashes in flipping Qualification, There should not be one crash in Qualification, I understand now the importance of consistency, And consistency will get the car home in one piece, So there is less stress on the engineers, In real life racing that is, And what is AMS 2, Simulation, lol, Since I stayed doing the same lap times over an over though, I am starting to improve a lot more, Maybe that is why people keep trying to race me during a Qualification, lol, I wish people would leave it for the race though, Even though it is a nice gesture people wanting to race me, When I am trying to get a hot lap though, I don't want to be racing like it is fun, lol, I take the sim racing lark pretty serious and I want to get up in the licenses, How do I get higher points without having to do loads of races over time, Coz I am struggling to get off S1300 range, I cannot get past S1400 put it one way, lol, Out of 800 hours though I don't think it is that bad, lol.... Do anyone know the actual date of 1.6, Like 100% actual release date, I am hoping to get a Quest 3 next week, It is either the Quest 3 or Load cell pedals, I want the Quest 3 more coz I am starting to improve now with the T300 pedals, I might even try a brake mod rather than getting new pedal set, With the Logitech wheel I was using, I was not improving, But after now getting used to the T300, Says it is T500 on the PC mind, lol, Amazing for the price it is on Amazon as well, And in VR it is not like a fancy light up steering wheel will make you faster, Though I bet there is probably people who do think RGB or lights will make you faster, lol, If I do another PC there will be no RGB on it all, Just to prove that RGB don't make you faster, Joke by the way, lol, But yeah I am thinking though if I had the Quest 3, With better response ect, Or better VR, I will get faster again, The VR has no doubt made me a far better sim racer, I still don't understand why people spend grands on PC's for sim rig set up, And no VR, lol, Not all but I see far more people with triples, Rather than VR when they got 4090's with a 14900k, Put a big fan blowing on you and VR isn't an issue, VR has made me a better sim racer for sure, Bathurst will tell you VR can make you faster lol, I used to hate that track, With a passion, But now in VR in a MP4/6 F1 car and Bathurst then becomes a pretty fun track, And I bet it looks bad ass in Ultra on a Quest 3 or a Pimax Crystal, Pimax got the Crystal lite for 600 pounds, Too big for my liking, I am sure there is smaller with similar performance coz Pimax is meant to be one of the best VR headsets, But yeah I would find doing sim racing with my TV hard now, I have not tried triples yet, But I am sure VR would still be better than the Triple screen set up... sorry to hear you been sick, I am the grumpiest dude alive when I am sick, That is what gets me mad about people who go shopping while sick with the flu, And says it is only the flu, Like WTF, The flu can be a nightmare far worse than the person spreading their flu, I don't care if it just the flu, I still don't wish to be sick, lol... Hope you gets better sooner rather then later, Hey at least you still hits AMS 2 even when sick, Testament to AMS 2, lol, Even the best sim when sick, lol.....
I got Pimax Crystal Light now, my first VR with first PC. it's not that big when on face, but strong recommendation is to get Studiofoam facepads for comfort. I done just few races on AMS2 as I'm adapting to motion sickness and fighting to find time. with gear shifter VR is amazing. I raced one funny race car looked as a boot, used sequential shifter for first time = race felt amazing but I was last because didn't know track. Engine noise, graduation of track, shifting gears it all was super cool sensations in VR. all I need now is 3 things. Slip angle 4 corner shaker kit, Qubic system QB-BT1 belt tensioner and simwind system to ease motion sickness all accessories would do and gain immersion.
Delays delays delays, unfortunately its just part of it. I've been dealing with it since 99-2000. It's still aggravating as hell ✌️
Half Life 3 will drop any day now.......I can feel it LOL

Sometimes it feels like the beta testers are flexing their privileges to the rest of us
Missed your Co-Commentry on Wednesday, Bud. Hope you feel better soon.
Yeah caught a bit of it, left Metz in the lurch a bit there, should be good for the next one
Wow! Awesome stuff coming mate thanks for the update! 👍

No, I know one tester who's not hugely impressed but still says it's better.
