Chapter 150 This is not a bug, this is a design flaw!
"Why is it such a coincidence?"
It was all work, but the same problem appeared in three consecutive cars in the video, which still attracted Chen Ba's attention.
It shouldn’t be!
In the game "Speed", unless the vehicle is involved in an accident or is improperly maintained, it will not malfunction under normal circumstances.
This is also reasonable.
After all, if a car is in good condition and there has been no accident, how can it be damaged by a sudden breakdown?
Chen Ba felt very strange.
So he came to the computer and tested the vehicles in "Speed".
The model he used to test was the model mentioned in the video, and the testing method was the same as that of the UP owner, striving to restore the test environment to the maximum extent possible.
result……
He really discovered something unusual!
Vehicle durability!
This special mechanism that is not very eye-catching in "Speed", combined with the ultra-realistic physics engine, actually created a magical bug.
After testing, Chen Ba found that the speed and extent of durability decline were different for different models.
The same two cars.
After the same tossing, the durability of the first car may drop from 100% to 90%, but the durability of the second car may drop to 80% or even 70%!
This is not the point. The point is that the decline and plummeting of durability will cause abnormal vehicle failures.
"A side effect of the physics engine?"
Chen Ba frowned and thought for a while. This should be the result of the physics engine being unable to simulate the real vehicle wear and tear, and could only perform rough simulations based on durability.
simply put.
A car should be 100% durable when it leaves the factory. Assuming a 100,000-kilometer warranty, that means that if you want to completely exhaust the 100% durability, you need to drive it for at least 100,000 kilometers.
In reality, vehicles do not have a durability setting mechanism. Even if there are parts that age, it is a very slow process.
But in the game, because the vehicle durability design is added, the vehicle will enter the "vehicle aging" stage by default after being driven, and there will be a probability of various failures.
In reality, if a new car has been driven for several hundred kilometers, people will still call it a “new car” or “quasi-new car”.
But in the game, as long as the durability is less than 100%, it is an old car! Since it is an old car, isn't it normal for various failures to occur under the simulation of the physics engine?
"There's something wrong with this probability..."
After understanding the cause of the bug, Chen Ba suddenly realized something.
That means the failure rate is very wrong!
Why do some cars appear to be exactly what they should be, while other cars have frequent bugs in the same game? Either the engine oil is burning or the engine oil is leaking, or the brakes are malfunctioning or even the axle is broken?
Is this randomly generated?
After repeated testing by Chen Ba, he finally concluded that this failure rate was not randomly generated, but the result of simulation by the Tiehanhan system based on the physics engine.
Because no matter how many times he tests it, the car will eventually break its axle...
In other words.
This is a flaw in the car's design, but it's just deliberately amplified by the game's durability bug under the simulation of the game's physics engine.
"Is this a bug?"
Chen Ba was also confused. It stands to reason that if the vehicle's durability is less than 100%, there is a probability of failure. This must be a bug.
After all, a new car may break down within just one kilometer of driving. Isn’t this a bug?
But here comes the problem!
The faults caused by these vehicles are all the results of simulations based on the physics engine. In other words, this is a flaw or problem in the vehicle's own design, which was just pointed out by the game "Speed".
…
The impact of this video is beyond imagination.
Even Chen Ba saw this video, let alone other players. Ever since, everyone started discussing the vehicle that had broken axles many times.
"You can't buy this car!"
"Why didn't you post this video earlier? I'm already on the pirate ship!"
"Haha! Just drive it if you buy it. Don't think about what you have and what you don't have. What if you are the lucky one?"
"Speaking of which...this car won't have this problem in real life, right? My dad is about to buy this car. Do I want to persuade him?"
"Hurry up and persuade your dad! The axis is broken in the game. Do you regret buying it in real life?"
"No... you are exaggerating, aren't you? Just because there is a problem with the car in the game, it doesn't mean there is a problem in reality!"
The video was widely circulated, and the popularity of "Speed" was not bad, so this also affected the normal sales of this model.
Faced with this situation, the car manufacturer was very angry and felt that the UP owner and Tianba Studio were deliberately discrediting it, so they sent a lawyer's letter to warn them.
Chen Ba also received it.
The other party believed that this was a game bug and asked Tianba Studio to publicly apologize and compensate for the corresponding losses.
"This is not a bug, this is a design flaw!"
Chen Ba would not admit that this matter had something to do with "Speed". His response was simple: We have the most realistic physics engine. This is clearly a design flaw and has nothing to do with our game!
This is unacceptable.
If he admits that this is a game bug, it means that the broken axle of the car is a fiction, and Tianba Studio and the UP owner need to apologize and compensate for this.
In this case, it is better to insist that this is not a game bug, but a flaw in the design of the opponent's vehicle.
The war of words was fierce.
Just when the other party couldn't swallow this breath and planned to collect evidence to sue Tianba Studio and the UP owner, things took a new turn...
Three days later, many netizens broke the news, saying that the new car they had just purchased suffered a broken trailing arm of the rear axle shortly after picking up the car.
Coincidentally, the car model purchased by these netizens is the car that had problems in "Fast Race". The manufacturer that produces this model is the same manufacturer that plans to sue Tianba Studio for spreading rumors and smearing it.
broken!
Originally, the war of words between Tianba Studio and this car manufacturer had become very fierce, and it was extremely popular and discussed on the Internet.
Now, after multiple real car owners broke the news and confirmed that Tianba Studio was not lying, and that this was really a vehicle design flaw, not a game bug, netizens laughed like crazy.
"A crow's mouth, right? Kill Brother Ba, the prophet, first!"
"What a guy! A game discovered a problem that the car manufacturer didn't even notice?"
"It is indeed the most realistic physics engine. Brother Ba, I'm convinced. Please use up your magical powers..."
"Bad, bad, bad! I'm planning to buy a Pucci. I heard that the new model will leak oil in "Fast Race"?"
The car owners panicked, and so did the car manufacturers.
When it was first revealed that this new car frequently broke its axles in the game "Assault", both the car owner and the car manufacturer were very calm.
Just a game...
what?
If something goes wrong with my car in the game, what does it have to do with my car in real life? Can games still affect reality?
Facts have proved that it can!
Everyone thought Brother Ba was joking. What is the most realistic physics engine and what design flaws are there? A bad game producer made such nonsense. Do you understand car design?
As a result, the personal statements of many car owners seemed to slap the car manufacturer in the face.
Brother Ba really knows about cars!
He really wasn't bragging. The physics engine of this game does have something. Can this be simulated? Is this really a design flaw?
The model that broke the axle is a modified car, which is very popular in China, with average monthly sales stable at more than 50,000 units.
This has also led to the fact that this matter has become very popular, and the turmoil caused by the broken shaft incident has become more and more intense. It is simply unrealistic for manufacturers to completely control public opinion.
Sue Tianba Studio?
Stop it!
At this moment, media reporters and car owners surrounded the headquarters, asking for an explanation.
How can this car manufacturer have time to sue Tianba Studio? Even if it is not sued by the car owner, it will be successful...
Now they only hope to appease the angry car owners as soon as possible, silence the media reporters, suppress the heat of this matter as soon as possible, and stop talking about the broken axle and the unbroken axle.
After announcing the recall of the problematic vehicles and compensating the injured owners, the car manufacturer finally bowed its head and admitted that it was a design defect.
On the other hand, some car owners reported that their cars were indeed leaking oil in the new Pucci models that had oil leakage problems in "Speed".
Bao Chi panicked and quickly launched emergency public relations.
However, they learned from the lessons learned by their friends and did not immediately blame Tianba Studio and "Speed" for the first time. Instead, they announced that they would immediately launch an investigation to find out the root cause of the problem.
Two car manufacturers in succession suffered losses with the game "Speed" and were exposed to serious quality problems.
This also scares other car manufacturers.
They were also afraid.
Although their models have not experienced a similar situation, who knows what will happen to "Speed"? Will you continue to live a healthy life?
As a result, these car manufacturers sent official letters one after another, requesting Tianba Studio to remove their models from the game "Speed" and terminate the previous cooperation.
I would rather pay some liquidated damages than have my own car model appear in the game "Speed"...
Don't ask, it's just too cowardly to ask!
Is the game "Speed" really toxic? Looking at the miserable situation of those two friendly companies, who would dare to put their own car in the game "Speed"?
"Brother Ba, you're in trouble!"
Xiao Lu said with a sad face: "So many manufacturers are demanding to terminate cooperation. They would rather pay liquidated damages than let us use their models. What will happen to our games?"
Once the partnership is lifted, there will be very few cars available in Rampage. For a racing game, this is tantamount to disaster.
After all, why is it that in your racing game, there are so few models and only a few cars to choose from?
"no way!"
Chen Ba doesn't think it matters: "If they want to terminate the cooperation, then let's terminate it! Let's give the players a hint and let them know the reason why these models have been removed from the shelves."
oh?
When Xiao Lu heard this, his eyes lit up and he said: "I understand..."
The meaning of Brother Ba's words is to reveal to the players the reasons why these car manufacturers have terminated their cooperation. There are various hints in and out of words: they are not clean!
Isn't this obvious?
If your car was fine, why was it removed from Speed? What are you feeling guilty about?
A guilty conscience means that you are unclean and there is something wrong with your car. After all, you don't even dare to play "Speed", you must be afraid of making the same mistake again!
as expected.
Tianba Studio issued an announcement stating that it will remove some brand models in the next round of updates. Whether it is players who play "Speed" or netizens who do not play this game, all eyes are focused on these brands.
certainly!
In addition to some car manufacturers who feel guilty and dare not face "Fast Race", there are also some car manufacturers who do not care and continue to cooperate with Tianba Studio, and their vehicles can also be played in the game.
The models of these brands have suddenly become the focus of discussion.
After all, after experiencing the "Axle Broken Gate" and "Throttle Leakage" incidents, almost all netizens know that the game "Speed" is very unusual.
Most car manufacturers that dare to stay in this game are confident and confident in the cars they produce.
If that's the case, then these cars must be good cars! After all, he is not even afraid of "Speed", which shows that he is really confident, at least there is no big problem.
what is interesting is……
Most of the remaining models and car manufacturers that continue to cooperate with "Fast Race" are domestically produced cars.
Those joint-venture cars are so guilty that they are afraid that the game "Speed" will cause some trouble again and some scandal will affect sales.
But their plan failed.
The impact of quitting "Speed" is no less than a scandal.
Whenever someone wants to buy their car, netizens will always ask: This brand of car is not even dared to appear in "Fast", why would you still buy it?
"Our cars are very fuel efficient!"
"Powerful power, luxurious interior, look at the ambient lighting, look at the leather seats..."
"Then why didn't I see this car in "Speed"? Are there any design flaws or safety hazards?"
Salespeople talk endlessly, but ordinary consumers can't stop them with just one sentence.
Originally, the game "Speed" was not so well-known, and not so many people knew and played it.
But the impact of the previous broken shaft incident was too far-reaching, and the entire Internet had heard about it. So taking advantage of this trend, "Speed" has become a game well known to many netizens.
This is just great!
Some cars in the game, cars that perform well in the game, have all seen a surge in sales. Especially the sales of Huazi and Dizi trams have almost doubled.
As for cars that are not in the game, consumers generally have doubts.
Older consumers who are less exposed to the Internet are more likely to be confused. But young people, who doesn’t know about "Fast" and Axis Gate?
If your car doesn't make it into "The Fast", it means it's unreliable. No matter how hyped it is, young people will shake their heads and dare not buy it.
Based on this premise, these joint venture manufacturers succumbed.
I couldn't wait to leave "Speed" before, but now I've approached Tianba Studio, hoping to add their car models to "Speed".
Make money, don’t be shabby!
As long as it is profitable, let alone Sichuan Opera, they will not hesitate even if they kneel down and kowtow to Brother Ba.
