In spinning faster I can't equip the car with a catalytic converter no matter what technology year I use. I can't pass the scenario without them. The best I can get emissions down to without it is .3lb

Yep, known bug, that scenario starts with leaded selected but you can't tell it is, so you need to select and unselect leaded fuel, fix coming with next major patch

Re: Engine Designer Demo - OFFICIAL BUGS THREAD

Game hates being full screen, alt-tabbed, and absolutely despises running smoothly.

I don't get it. 1 TB harddrive, 8 GB RAM, Windows 7, Nvidia 9600 GT, quad core 3.3ghz AMD processor.. It's not ideal, but it runs much more intense games with no hesitation. Automation seems to lag constantly for some reason.

The dyno graph sometimes goes apeshit. The torque curve for instance.. will be huge.. and outside of the graph taking up half my screen. hahah

I will complete a scenario and click on "more scenarios" or whatever when i win the bronze metal (I suck, haha) and it won't show up as complete on the scenario screen meaning I have to redo it.

Just some weird bugs and issues I've come across.

Re: Engine Designer Demo - OFFICIAL BUGS THREAD

That should run fine, I wouldn't run the viewport resolution slider at the crazy high setting as a 9600GT probably won't cope. but you should still get a fair few FPS and such. Alt tabbing should be fine too.. Very odd.

Could you maybe take a screenshot of your graphics settings screen, let us know what FPS you're getting, and also send us a DXDIAG.txt? maybe we can work out what's going on there..

Ohh, it is 2 apples, one Bratwurst and a silver coin.
No, but seriously, what do you mean? Download size? Price?

Re: Engine Designer Demo - OFFICIAL BUGS THREAD

Game is running fine now after clean install. Must have just been a software issue somewhere.
:D

Re: Engine Designer Demo - OFFICIAL BUGS THREAD

Noticed a few minor graphical bugs while building some awesome V8s...
The standard air cleaners for the twin DCOE setup are invisible and there's no water pump shaft on pushrod V8s, just a floating pulley.

Knew about the DCOE one, but well spotted on the water pump! :)

In Kazakh Taxi the technology years should be locked to 1995. If you slide exhaust technology year to 1940, then test, and after that put it back to 1995 and test again you can get more hp -> ~150 more score.
