Blacking out in a truck

[Stu]

I'm pretty sure this s an old bug, but I'm still having issues blacking out when driving a truck (both beddy and laffy) offroad.

Old bug that's never been fixed

Technically it isn't a bug.

It's a feaure of the g-forces and brain oxygen we model as part of the black out and red out stuff.

Basically go fast enough over rough ground (and our field are quite rough) then you shake yourself to pieces.

I've done it in first gear before though, not going all that fast.

Yep, Seems though it was changed, before was happening at high speeds over rough ground which was meant to be. Now though its happening exactly the opposite, at low speed which I am guessing isn't the norm. FYI, if you can punch on through the low speed blackout then all becomes normal again.

There was a bug we fixed while ago where the g's were being built up over time and not bled off. But you're saying this is only a low speed thing?

Test 1

• offline
  
• spawn bedford
  
• put in 1st gear max throttle
  
• drive along side of road which is farm tile and the most common bumps we have offroad
  
• bedford tops out at about 20mph
  
• this is fast for offroad*
  
• no blackouts observed
  
• expected functionality
  

* We modeled our offroad off a mix between planted fields and pasture. If you've ever driven a farm truck you know what a roller coaster ride that can be offroad. These are '1930's trucks with terrible suspensions necer meant for more than soft roading.

I would expect anything faster than about 20mph to give you a black eye and a concussion as you bang your head off the roof.

Need some better reporting to find a bug.

When I get a round to it will get see if I can grab some screenies (so it shows the speed) as it begins to blacken Cheers.

There's definitely something different about the Bedford, I very, very rarely black out in any other ground vehicle but in the beddy it happens very often, I don't know what tiles are supposed to be the bumpiest but I even black out driving through forests sometimes.

[Hinfoos]

why dont you start recording with fraps when it happends?

i know i've seen it .. with flak30 even.

just havent thought of doing so or just been to lazy for the momoent to do so.

when you get the ridiculous blackout, then just start recording.

I've only had this in the Beddy, but not tried since all the new updates.

It was right at the FB, and I believe it to be related to the ground tiles. Ground looks flat visually but beddy is bumping and blacking out from first gear so that you cant get going any faster.

Laffly on this territory acts like a boat in choppy water but maintains good speed with no blackout.

[GOPHUR]

I was testing the beddy because I remember it being the worst offender.

[JOKER007]

its a visually flat ground tile that has "bumpy" coded into it, not the normal 'flat' tile, but you can't just see it and know that is what is happening.

[GOPHUR]

The airfields are a good place to experience flat terrain. There is almost no bump added to them.

[JOKER007]

if it happens again, I'll note lat/long and post. ty Gophur.

so going 3 mph over rough terrain in a vehicle is enough to kill someone in real life?

then why wasn't the code updated to model it with more fidelity? if its not really a bug...it seems remarkably innacurate

OH...lets NOT FORGET you can get the same effect with atg/AAA when you push it are you saying your pushing so fast your going to knock yourself out doing it? obviously some sort of modeling error is in play

why is this even coded? I could see maybe 60MPH a possible black out occuring, but more likely your truck would fall apart. I'm gonna take a video of me driving my pick up (a 1ton dodge) which would be very similar to the beddy, laffly, opel we have in game, and post it on here to assure you at speeds of 20, 30, 40, and 50 you will not black out, on or off road.

I have never heard of anyone blacking out driving across a field. I personally have been in a pickup driving across a field at around 80MPH chasing antelope and nobody in the vehicle blacked out let alone wasn't able to shoot...

hahaha, this happened to me last week some time when I was pushing my little pak36 for a couple of km- screen started to dim in and out and a red halo was pulsing around the edges. I thought my card was going titsup but when I stopped pushing, things were normal within a few seconds. This resumed after pushing another 100m or so and stopping a couple of times.

I was unwounded and had full stamina the whole time, this is pretty odd modeling.

-spawn in Andenne AB with bedford on training server.

-Drive out through the East gate in first gear, full throttle.

-Outside Ab, keep a NE direction. The blackout should occur only after a couple hundred meters. It did it 3 times in a row for me.
