Engine Designer Demo - OFFICIAL BUGS THREAD

[luxo_8]

also having issues with hidden catalytic converters on Spinning Faster... no matter what fuel i try they are hidden.

everything else seems to be working fine though, enjoying it!

[Initial D]

I've been experiencing what seems to be a memory leak in the demo. When I initially launch I have no problem running the game (>400fps), and over time there is noticeable performance loss, dropping to the mid-teens and low-twenties after about 2 hours. Has anyone else experienced similar behavior?

I did not experience a problem when I was testing the beta, I am currently testing the official release at the moment.

Sadly, the demo won't go past the launcher on my XP machine. Will make it into the game on my Windows 7 machine, but not all the options are available once in there. For example, there are almost no options to choose in the "exhaust" tab, and several missing in the other tabs.

are you in sand box mode? in the scenario's alot of stuff is unavailable for change

Also, most of the stuff becomes available only if you choose stuff in previous tabs.

waited for the server to come back up (it was down when i got home), took ages to download the launcher (guessing from traffic but about 20mins), just spent 3 hours downloading the demo (mostly my connection i think, but a long time) and now after all that waiting, it cant find my username, massive sad face (where should i send my sad face for a fix)

Contact@camshaftsoftware.com - but FIRST check that you're typing your username correctly, noting that it is case sensitive! (Strange I know.. its a database thing..)

Hi

If you do not select an option for the catalytic converter, you are still allowed to click the test button.
When doing so you get a warning

Step() Failed!: [string "..."]:733: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil Value)

OKing this warning produces a "LUA error" wich repeats the above err text.
Cancel this error and you crash out
Retry this error and you return to the game just prior to when you click test.

Clear solution is to validate the selection of a cat when required or to assume no selection=the NONE option

[maffc]

When changing fuel type to unleaded also DE-sellect the leaded fuel, otherwise it will be set to run the engine on both types of fuel. As leaded is one of those selected cats will not be available. Once the leaded option is removed cats are selectable.

I wonder if it would be better to replace the fuel selctors with ticks (checks) rather than crosses. At one point i got confused and thought the cross indicated a fuel that the engine would not be allowed, thereby momentarily selecting all the wrong types.

my only issue so far is i've changed some of the units in options how ever economy is not in mpg its in lb/hph what the hell is lb/hph anyway? lol means nothing to me also will different currency's be in the game or just $?

otherwise love it

[mer_at]

an engine doesn't have mpg, as it doesn't drive an all.
an engine in a lightweight car can make 50mpg, but mounted in a 3t truck it'll do 20mpg

[Lastgameking]

When I start an engine, the engine sound stutters. and you see the graphics capabilities also falter. is this normal:?:

This isn't a bug, it's a feature. Stops you rushing ahead and producing unfeasable engines.

Is there a bug in it ? I'm getting OVERADDICTED !!!
I just looooove it and the only thing I found is that we can't resize the engine designer. I know it has already been answered. Could we have a fullscreen button on the window then ?

[Kubboz]

I know it's not a bug, but thanks for explanation. I was just trying to find what's the reason of jmp2006's problem.
