How to disable Catch Up AI cheating?
Posted: 12 Jun 2013, 17:10
Hello forum.
I have beaten Underground 2 again last week, and one aspect of the game has been bothering me throughout it from the first levels: no matter how I drive, AI opponents are always clustered together behind me. I'm going at above 300 kph, in the 6th gear, with nitrous the engine is redlining and refuses to go any faster, but the AI still slowly closes up on me, and after the straight they're behind me. Or the other case, an AI opponent crashed under the highway coming from Beacon Hill towards my Garage, and he reset himself on the other side of the circuit race in the hills, 28 or something seconds in front of me. I spun out when I got distracted by the number, but still caught up with him and finished first, but at no margin. What the hell?
I feel that I am always being pushed to drive faster above what I am able to, because of the Reputation requirement, and go bouncing from wall to wall (ugly), and I can't feel the sections that I have driven well and repeat them. There is no point to drive any laps apart from the last one, because any time gained in them is nullified, and the winner is decided by chance. In the last race agaisnt the boss I got the feeling that he "let me" stay ahead...
During URL races usually a couple opponents start to somewhat faster in the last lap, and become challenging, and that's alright. One could assume that they have nitrous and the others wasted them.
I tried Quick Race for the first time, with the option to turn off Catch Up, and it was as it should have been. AI cars stayed apart from each other, and I could gain time as a reward for not crashing or eating wall. When I searched the web, I found this neat solution for Most Wanted.
TL;DR the rant: Is there a way to disable AI Catch Up cheating in Underground 2 career, preferably by hex editing, for another replay at a later time?
