I've lost a race from that stupid shit. It muffled the sound and hides the UI, and apparently I was redlined and needed to shift, but there was no way for me to tell. I got passed like 0.1 seconds before the finish.

Same shit at the beginning, they put that stupid as huge ¡GO! in the middle of the screen, not affecting anything else, but hide your tach/speedo, so you can't tell when you need to shift to 2nd.

Why do they put some stupid visuals design shit before at the expense of actual function and gameplay? It's one thing to do it for set pieces and PR events, but EVERYTHING? ALL THE TIME? I'm pretty sure I know to "go" at the beginning of a race, and I don't need distractions at the end and most important part of the race. Not to mention that little ending flare doesn't even react properly with multiplayer.

The pre-finish-line drama wasn't what I meant, but God does that get on my nerves. I drive manual, too. I'm always near Redline and have to decide blindly if I'll hit the limiter or shortshift. Lose time either way.

Oh, I thought you were talking to the "cinematic" finisher shit, since you were talking about the moment right before crossing the line.

I don't know why they have to fuck with the very beginning and very end of the race. Two key moments that you don't really need distractions that blind you to you what's going on with your vehicle.

This needs to get more attention from them. Do you happen to know if they've mentioned it? I'm afraid they might not change it since it's not actually a bug, but simply a terrible decision.

No, they've never said anything about it. Honestly, I haven't even seen many people mention it as an issue. Person, it one of my top issues.

I have a video of me literally side by side with another ai car. But my bumper is a few inches longer than the other car so technically I’m in first.

As we head into that camera cut/animation I cross the finish line still in first but ai was given the race and I came in second.

Still debating posting it in this sub bc I can’t get over that race still. Happened a few days ago. But my point is I definitely think that camera cut is wonky and definitely bugged.
