Engine Designer Demo - OFFICIAL BUGS THREAD

[Beard Of Moses]

ok it says that it has downloaded to my computer but then it says theres an update that needs to load. it will say the update is done then say the update has failed and im back to the beginning.

Same here, I just got home from holidays and tried downloading it. the program itself was fine but when you boot it up it says update build 79 or something, click no and it quits. If you click yes a large file TRIES to download but then crashes after a completely random amount of time and exits everything again. HELP!

(also first post, I've been here just a lurk though. Finally made an account haha)

[Dasspeil]

Getting a crash when I click the TESTING button 100% of the time, doesnt matter if its sandbox or scenarios, full screen or windowed. I am able to build an engine from scratch, but the second i click to Test the engine i get this



This is on my Windows XP machine, havent had this issue with my Windows 7 Laptop (or any other issues for that matter)

After getting help from my more tech savvy younger brother, the solution is to quit everything else running in the background and turn off your firewall, I did that and it downloaded fine.

[Daffyflyer]

Ahh ok, Firewalls can cause issues like that, so makes sense

[Kubboz]

I have noted a couple glitches when I was fine tuning air/fuel mixture and timing advance that slight changes would suddenly show huge losses in power (I'm talking 89hp down to 35hp) that I'm assuming must be a glitch in the programming. It's intermittent, but it's happened a few times both in the scenarios and in the sandbox.

Other than that, great work, I'm floored with this so far and I can't wait for the turbos.

How slight are these changes? Remember that knocking reduces engine power.

[Daffyflyer]

Yeah, if you're getting a knock warning with that (and some angry knocking sounds) then that would be why, and running too much timing or running it too lean could do this

I have had a couple times where the program crashed to desktop with the error as follows

Step() Failed!: [String "local should LoadFactory = True..."]3541: attempt to index local 'part' (a nil value)

the error occurs when i go to test the engine model, the entire program freezes and then goes black, a alt+Tab reveals the error window

for some reason this forum will not allow me to attach a .jpg of the screenshot but that is not related to the game.

once i get this error and click OK to get out, the game goes to desktop and will no longer restart with errors stating that the files are corrupt. (again, this forum gives me a error when trying to upload a jpg attachment) I have to uninstall and reinstall the program. This has happened 2 times that i have to reinstall the program.

as far as the error on here not letting me add a picture, i copy this line as the reason why.

Could not upload attachment to ./files/1558_6d8a0c79422950fdebe7c4ae5db353cf.

Could not upload attachment to ./files/1558_6d8a0c79422950fdebe7c4ae5db353cf.

All i did was use Photobucket, upload my screenshot there, then use the [img] tags to post it on the forum.

[shfiter]

A couple of giltches,

Duel carbs with stock filter, the stock filter is floating. Its magic i tel you!

When moving around a lot of popping of parts.

And a suggestion, when the engine is reving the butterfly valves in the itb/carbs steas close. There goes my KW''s

[dervectra]

hi devs

I found a Bug

I can choose a First Muffler before i choose a catalytic Converter.







Cheers

martin

[BiotecVirus]

dervectra cat/muffler bug reported above I have placed in pivotal.

[Marcin]

In the Spining faster tutorial i can't choose catalityc converter. I changed year, diferent parts and nothing.

[Kubboz]

Marcin, switch to unleaded fuel first.

[pyrlix]

Started & Skipped directly - don't know what happend here :S

[timmmccoy]

So i'm having a pretty frequent issue...

i'll boot up automation and get through all the screens and what not and then notice that my mouse cursor is about 10-20 pixels higher than where the game thinks my cursor is...

which with all the vertically oriented menus with small rows makes it a little hard to use the engine designer.

usually closing and restarting to game fixes it but it happens almost 9 times out of 10.
