What is "Wheelmode" in The Crew Motorfest?

[@Tesseract69]

To add further clarity and to emphasize the core issue here. The issue is raw 1:1 steering > filtered steering *no matter the input device used.* It's been tested that the standard steering filter (which is the exact same whether you’re on controller OR keyboard) has a hard deadzone of *at least 25% which CANNOT be removed in the control settings by setting the deadzone to 0.* (I have a video on my channel which shows this). The delayed and then the abrupt, instant transition to accelerated steering response curve with no graduation between the two is A BIG problem when trying to maintain a consistent line and/or adjust your line through corners. The lack of steering range is also a problem. Wheel users don't suffer from ANY of these issues. Again, the core problem is the forced steering filter onto controller and keyboard users without any option to disable it like there was in Crew 1. The preference solution to this issue would be to have a steering filter slider that each person can adjust to their desired feel. Rather than forcing one or the other onto gamers and making the competition locked behind the purchase of a wheel or a PC...

[@Tesseract69]

Over the course of time I’ve come to notice that some people seem to think the quickness of the steering when using wheelmode on controller is because of having full steering range within the range movement of a thumbstick - which you obviously don't have to move very much compared to rotating an actual wheel. This however is ignoring the real core issue here as the issues of a steering filter vs raw 1:1 steering are the same regardless of input device used (I have a recent video on my channel showcasing the differences between standard steering filter (for both keyboard and controller) vs wheel all on the same single input device (which is an analog keyboard). Wheelmode on controller is so sensitive that the steering linearity must be increased *dramatically* just to make driving using wheelmode on controller more drivable. With keyboard it’s almost impossible to drive well using wheelmode because it’s ‘too quick’. So, it’s obvious that a steering filter is a necessity, but not to this extreme... Even on keyboard the steering filter feels really bad to use... The hard deadzone of 25% (which is far too much), plus the delayed steering and having 0 graduation from slower to accelerated steering is overall, just a very poor implementation of a steering filter. One which puts everyone who isn't using wheel input at a disadvantage to wheel input users due to the nature of the differences between the raw & unfiltered steering (aka wheel input) vs the very aggressively designed filtered steering that’s forced onto all other input devices except for wheel... Forza has an option called ‘simulation steering’ which allows controller users to have the same feel as wheel users. Different name, same thing as wheelmode. In this game, we are seeing how **extreme** the differences are between wheel input vs other inputs and that’s why this is a major problem that needs fixing asap. #FairplayTCM

HIGHLIGHT: Again, the core problem is the forced steering filter onto controller and keyboard users without any option to disable it like there was in Crew 1

[@Lukas-lp2fz]

yeah thats why i had max steering input set to 80%. Car reacts faster now.

[@KidMeatball]

Thanks for pointing this out. I was wondering why I can set my dead zone super tiny on my controller but it doesn't seem to change how large it is in TCM. I would like finer control over that.

[@aintgotnophd2196]

I didn’t notice this during the beta, not sure if i just didn’t play for long enough or if it was different in the beta though. But as soon as i got the full game i noticed and couldn’t get around it. I refunded for this reason alone as i couldn’t enjoy the driving and i haven’t looked back since. The physics felt like a huge step up from tc2, but the steering controls are horrible.

[@KingdomTwelve]

Haha I did the same thing and lost a ton of positions Q_Q@@NMSSN

[@nismo97]

FINALLY this is being talked about. As a beta player, I kept on hammering about this issue and got some people talking about it, yet here we are. The Crew 2 has the exact same issue and IVT still hasn't learned the lesson. No one plays the same way and as people improve in the game these slow and sluggish controls will get in the way, you'll be forced to slow down because of the controls and not because of the car's ability. This applies to ALL racing games, and these days many arcade racing games have this same issue. We need to start demanding options for these things, there is no one size fits all solution.

[@Metsudo82]

A similar thing happened in race driver grid. Controller filters prevented extreme steering angles on controllers compaired to wheels. In road cars this wasn't too detremental to pace, but if you were in an open wheel car (even the slower f1000 cars) this would drastically kill your pace because those could grip enough to actually make use of the angle. In grid you could go into the ini files and manually disable controller filters, despite using a controller. It resulted in a car that was much harder to drive, but in the hands of someone who could, made you quicker. It's almost always an issue to some degree in games where you can use wheels because you generally need filters on controllers for the game to be playable for most people, but in some cases like this and in grid the difference can be significant. Having the filters be adjustable so people can find what fits them is probably the answer.

[@booclan6698]

Great video mate. As a PS5 player this makes a lot of sense and explains why/how console players are at a disadvantage all the time. ANOTHER HUGE ISSUE THEY NEED TO FIX IS " THE CUSTOM LIVERY MAKER" Now we cannot buy other players designs and enter them in the custom show I started to design my own. Every few minutes MY GAME CRASHES whilst designing, losing anything I haven't saved. I save designs IN THE LIBRARY and when you choose a design it JUST CHOOSES THE FIRST ONE IN THE LIST EVERY TIME so all the designs you've made are useless. The custom show looks boring now and the WINNING VEHICLE USUALLY LOOKS "ASS" with just a paint job and no effort put into it. Winning the custom show is about HOW MANY FRIENDS OR FOLLOWERS you have and NOT WHO LOOKS THE BEST OR HOW MUCH TIME YOU PUT IN TO MAKE IT !! Would be great if you could highlight this huge issue my man.

[@kannonfps]

Ngl, ... not the biggest issue in motorfest atm, there are way more important issues to address now compared to the livery maker. I'm not saying it's not important i also want people to be free to actually create their livery, use them and all that good stuff BUT again, not the most important as of right now, id actually be pissed if they adressed it now compared to the rest

[@SaneU_c]

Yeah custom shows aren’t the biggest issue but i agree with what u saying. Tbh I’m getting and average of 10-15 likes and usually got plat but ever since they removed the livery thing if it isn’t ur own, I’ve been consistently getting only gold. At this point im convinced that ppl who get plat are just having their friends/supporters vote for their car even if it looks like dookie. It’s a shame, feels rigged tbh

[@Luke-rv1ex]

@SaneU_c I’m new to the game and confused about the whole ranking. Do I get platinum if I get a certain amount of likes. Because right now I have 27 and have no idea if this means anything

What about something nobody talks about is the over exaggerated grip loss from the rear of the cars specially rwd cars, I can't even play the game because I can't control the cars, and I'm not a bad player but I lost a lot races because of that, ones the cars started to spin is almost impossible to drive.

[@DeadPool_StaS]

after this fix we need to talk about reset car at checkpoints. add to the car +5 to spawn.

[@martinputarnovoselec9623]

or just for the car to stop completely after the reset, like at the start of the race

[@Tesseract69]

​@@martinputarnovoselec9623 Or for the car to reset you facing backwards into oncoming racers OR reset you on the *outside* of a corner barrier forcing you to drive in the dirt to get back onto the road, *and* in an alpha gp car mind you...💀 (yup, some obviously untested resets)...

the resets i do are actually do dodge the no brainers that crash onto the barrier at the firdt corner ... if everyone brakes and dont play the dumbass that use ppl to turn then a lot of ppl wont actually respawn.

[@EBL_shino]

Great video. You explained why wheel imputs need to be usable by any player and not being restricted by a dumb paywall. I noticed that generally a really solid player with a regular controller can most of the time stay behind a wheelmode or wheel player, but against 2 good players in slip with a wheel imput it's basically dead... We already had that problem in TC2 but it wasn't that crazy... Regular controller and keyboard inputs SUCKS in this game...

[@GoatedAtNFS]

this right here is why playing with a wheel in a lot of video racing games is already an advantage, and the certain settings that isn’t fixed or has a loophole can be broken just like this one

[@haaxxx9]

Same, I been playing racing games with a G29 for 8 years now (It's an addiction) and so far it's one of the most fun I had in racing games no matter how "Good" or "Bad people think they are... That most don't even have racing wheels to begin with.

[@DekoSeishin]

Can only wish you lot good luck. Been an issue for 5 years in TC2, alongside other things and many already gave up on waiting for any positives on it long ago, including me.

[@TheGoliath]

🤞

[@MichaelB450]

I remember in The Crew 1 when the devs added the option to change your input to whatever you liked in the settings, which allowed you to set your gamepad or keyboard to play with wheel settings. This resulted in so many skill leaderboards being broken by drag cars that could now turn so much better with the racing wheel setups. Normally at top speed drag cars would basically have no steering, but cheesing in wheel settings completely got rid of the lack of steering at top speed Drift leaderboards in the summit also were completely broken due to being able to flick any drift car left or right effortlessly and allow players to gain 500K+ (sometimes close to a million) points on leaderboards, this was never fixed leading into the Calling All Units update. So seeing this issue make its way into future The Crew games was no surprise to me, but I guess it's good for them to finally address the problem after all this time. But frankly it should have been a non-issue from the start

Also. The ghost state between changing vehicles at 33 and 66% is far shorter for pc players vs ps5. Maybe 3-4times. Which makes a massive difference. When the game came out I was missing checkpoints because of it and I am a high level ps player since the crew 1. Missing checkpoints because you can’t see your car isn’t right.

Geez i think you really explained it best w examples to show. I didn’t think the delay on controller had that much of a disparity vs wheel, it’s actually crazy how much faster you can take corners. They really need to fix this asap

[@firun2635]

I'd love this being a setting akin to the others - such as "Steering Filter - Comfort, Sport, Off", with sport being something in between current controller input and wheelmode.

[@fredcharleskrueger5183]

That is absurd! No wonder it feels like no matter how much I practice with the normal steering there’s always someone that’s miles ahead, because their steering WORKS with them instead of forcing you off the road or into a wall… #FairplayTCM

[@TheGoliath]

Just to be clear multiple people (including myself) usually are well ahead of lobbies without wheelmode. While someone whose good will gain time with wheelmode it's not the reason their winning in most cases unless it's against someone else who is also just as good, but not on wheelmode

[@fredcharleskrueger5183]

@@TheGoliath I did 4 grand races because I was bored, I’m far from a master at this game but in those races I finished in the positions in order of 1,2,7,1. The 7th place finish was because of a really bad race route in rally raid throwing me and like 12 other people off the course. I play with normal steering on controller, learned to be precise and become good at throttle management. Also in high speed sections entering tight corners, I use the combination of nitro and handbrake simultaneously to flick the car into the turn which is almost the same as how direct the steering can be with wheel mode. My settings for steering, throttle and brake are just, precise default on throttle and brake and then I have 0 dead zone (as far as controller can go) as well as having the steering linearity on 25. For assists it’s the usual esp off, abs on, tcs on sport.

Man I didn't know that the wheel mod can give u all this advantage , That's explain a lot things. Thank you Goliath for the explanation and btw can you upload a video in which you and predaking was fighting for the 1st place

Thanks for watching and I can upload it

[@hanzo6772]

you can flick turn with a conventional controller by pressing X/A and square/X at the same time whilst turning (boost and handbrake inputs) although it’s very hard to make viable. i’ve managed to get it down but that’s purely because i’ve been doing it since the start of crew 2 and since then it’s become natural to do. i have a wheel too but to me the wheel settings on motorfest feel weird. it doesn’t feel as good to race with a wheel compared to a controller. maybe i’ll give it a go with the wheel again soon

[@Darklord_tK]

I play with a wheel on ps5 the one setting I recommend changing is the wheel damper setting, lowering that usually makes it feel better and more realistic, however I can't play the crew 2 with a wheel anymore since motorfest just feels so much better and actually has force feedback

[@carbonx0718]

Awesome video! Sadly this problem has existed since TC2 and TCM made it even worse! The exact same thing for clutch... TC1 had wheelmode and sequential clutch ingame! Since then IVT didnt care at all...

[@PTracer921]

Semi automatic or sequential shifting would be awesome for the casuals/beginners like me

[@RukaGoldheart]

The fix is simple, call wheel mode "advanced mode" and make it available for all input devices.

[@WhiteWlf-dy8fb]

ive been playing this game pretty much exclusively on wheel. was playing yesterday and just didnt feel like setting up the wheel so i used controller. and i was wondering why it felt like ass. thought there were maybe some settings i had to change. turns out there were just not in game 😅

[@7ndrew]

Wheel input has been an issue since The Crew 1, except in that game you could select any device as your input device in the options menu lol

[@__.SuKuna__]

A great video indeed, I suggest using kingdomtwelves gameplay to also compare the differences between the two inputs. Obviously it’s not the same driver but you do take similar racing lines.(only if he is not using wheel mode)

[@oneirossss]

I would say give wheel slower steering or give everyone the option to adjust their own steering sensitivity but IVT has made it clear that they don’t care about the competition. People on TC2 have asked for these same issues to be fixed for 5 years and theres still been no changes or acknowledgment. Wheelmode isn’t the only unfair advantage because clutch is also a thing. It’s only on PC or, for console players, locked behind the paywall of buying a wheel and H-shifter which can cost hundreds. A large majority of the cars in TCM have a noticeable delay between gears so players without clutch just lose time everywhere for no good reason.

[@SidWaj]

planning to signal boost!

[@TheGoliath]

Please do

[@pavvv]

great video man, love seeing this type of content out of you :D

[@Liger_Soba]

This is all my opinion, but I think the best course of action is to make faking wheel mode impossible and maybe punishable, as well as making a slider that changes turning sensitivity for controllers. I do get why it’s fast with actual steering wheels since steering wheels would just feel like shit if your turns were delayed to the same degree of controllers. Which is why I don’t think wheels should be touched as it’s capabilities are pretty much limited by the human body. But I don’t get why controllers can’t adjust their turning sensitivity like many other games can nowadays. With a slider for how sensitive your turning is you allow for those who want quicker turning capabilities to have them, but still keep the people who want more manageable turning sensitivity happy. I think I’d be a win win for all basically, especially for those who still want quicker turning but not at the same degree as “wheel mode”, like maybe something in the middle.

[@UltLolly]

The easiest way to fix this is a steering sensitivity slider so you just turn snapy inputs on and off

[@Mark-wq1nh]

I agree this is a problem but it can be partially resolved by spending the time to properly adjust your steering input in the options

[@TheGoliath]

changing your in game settings will not even partially overcome the gap

[@spiritassassin3436]

I’m on ps5 and I had no clue about this problem. I always wondered how some random on pc would gap me in the grand race when I had a perfect run. He beat me by about 10 seconds which puts it right there at that wheel mode advantage.

[@sinny09]

Everytime i ran into a wheel player that was good i would always be sweating bullets to try and keep up, but as the gutters came they would just slowly fade away 🙃

[@TheGoliath]

[@leroyadlam12]

They might as well add simulation/normal steering so we have the ability to use a controller on a wheel based input. Like forza

[@_SKDK_]

This problem also applies to drifting. Drifting on a wheel is MUCH more fun and feels SO much better than drifting with a controller.

[@iimiin6240]

I think using manual clutch mode can also be problematic. This is the very same method as applying wheel mode. The same irrationality applies between clutch mode and regular genuine pad users. If you are a regular pad user, driving a vehicle that requires a manual clutch is like driving at a significant disadvantage. This is because it is difficult to achieve the best performance of the car, and simply applying a manual clutch, leaving everything else aside, greatly benefits in terms of speed. I don't think game players should be treated unfairly because of the device they choose. It's easy to think of wheel mode as cheating, but this is what makes it difficult for people to say that applying the clutch to the pad is unconditionally bad. I'm also curious about the KZbinr's thoughts on clutch mode. I'm not good at English, so I used Google Translate. P.s. Your Korean fan

[@haaxxx9]

That is true, The Crew games always have this little exploit where if you run with manual with clutch mode, for proper manual transmission cars you can completely bypass the time between shifting into gears so the car I drive mainly (2016 Mazda MX-5) have a manual transmission mechanic in game I can shift just like a DCT in the game when most super/hyper cars have that. Also it really helps if you own a racing wheel with a manual transmissions already (G29 + Shifter for me). I see why this could be a massive problem in summits when only Manual transmission cars can be drivable in that race. But it's super fun!

[@TheGoliath]

Yeah manual with clutch (macro) is free pace. It's overshadowed by wheelmode but it's just as problematic

[@iimiin6240]

General pad users have to risk losses when using vehicles that require a manual transmission. The game system, which requires limited choices in vehicle selection at the expense of speed, leads regular pad users to manual transmission mode. I think this is unfortunate.@@TheGoliath

I got Motorfest roughly a week ago on console. There used to be a setting in rFactor that did the same and it had to do with how fast you were going and how the game wouldn't let the wheels turn as fast at speed on controller so you wouldn't get that "jerky" motion. The same thing happens in Motorfest. I have a racing wheel but it's for xbox and I play Motorfest on playstation so I can't use it. I don't know why they don't just use sim-level inputs instead of this slowed down, sluggish, delayed input. I understand it's to help worse drivers control their cars but it's a hindrance to anyone even halfway decent on controller. Really sucks.

[@davidhebson1262]

Thank you for explain this. IVT really need to gix this. I was wondering how some players were going off road without spinning off. Its such a huge disadvantage for me and others using normal controller. IVT must know this, but why dont they wait so long to gix issues.

[@Tesseract69]

In your difficulty settings, in game options, there's a setting called "drift assist". Putting that on comfort helps stop over-rotation of the car (aka spinning out). Also, throttle lift off oversteer exists in this game. You can drive off-road in Alpha GP cars even just so long as you drive in a mostly straight line and *don't lift off the throttle at all* while off road. You can press brake and throttle at the same time to counter needing to brake if you have to. There's also countersteer assist and ESP if you're still having problems with spinning out. I can drive the racing Camaro SS off road (which is very prone to spinning out the second it hits dirt) and I don't spin out even on keyboard. So these things work.

I hope that they come up with a solution to properly level the playing field and let players know about it. As if the whole grind for parts and the sorting of such was not enough... Well, at least this makes me think less about the fact that I cannot go on proper cruises around the island with with my buddies because at least one of us usually diasappears after a short while, if we are lucky enough to make it into the same session in the first place. Not to mention the odd timekeeping that can be encountered every now and then. It is quite an achievement to finish a regular race in first place and have a slower total time than your buddy in P3. I have never encountered something like that in any racing game ever before. The game even hammered that wrong time into the summit leaderboard.

I knew it was a thing but that flick thing is making it even more broken. I hope they will fix it but The Crew 2 is 5 years old and it still works like that so.. maybe if it get very loud we can get a fix

wheel mode makes it look like your playing a totally different game lol, the car moves like it’s rocket league

what do you think about controller advantages? auto center, control in air, and more... things like that.

They don't make enough of a difference to overcome the advantages that wheelmode has

Context is needed. Most people can't drive no matter what. Wheelmode doesn't change that

@@TheGoliath Ahh, yes you are correct but I was surprised by how easily would people cut across grass and have almost no speed and control loss and take the chicane. Also S Turns and U turns with snap changes in direction

[@insector2093]

I wouldn't say this is really a problem, Unfiltered input will always be better its just how it is. Generally unfiltered input is much better than both a wheel and standard controller input in any game that supports it, its just flat out a better method of controlling an actual Car when you learn how to controll a car with it. The way i'v done it for years now is to always push the joystick upwards and thinking of the joystick like a wheel that rotates instead of flicking the stick

[@pipipupu1964]

all games have this, and its making me nuts all games should have a option to disable this "on purpose input lag" just for those players that are not that casual of a players and don't want a too sensitive steering input and also they should fix those physics of the game so it makes it fair for everyone

[@ralphharrison6622]

now it makes sense! ive been catching flak for saying that something is off in grand race. ive been playing games since the atari, and consider myself pretty decent. my best finish was 8th, and that was white knuckle. everyone telling me i got to use op cars, or i need practice. ive been practicing since i was 5 years old. thats 41 years of gaming. you def deserve the sub! im not going to call out the you tuber who basically told me im not good enough.

There is something off in grand race and this is probably part of the reason.

The chances of you going against a wheel/wheelmode player is growing but it is still pretty slim, I’ve played over a thousand grand races and I’ve seen about 7 or 8 wheel/wheelmode players out of queueing in EU servers, im sorry but the people you are going against are probably just good at the game on standard controller

[@ralphharrison6622]

@@bran-rr nah, ive raced probably as many races as you, and ive seen the sketchy sht. i dont know how EU servers are as for players ability, etc, but on US servers, its a bashfest, followed by sht that is in no way possible standard controller sht. either way, im not concerned anymore people need to cheat to win, so be it.

[@TheGoliath]

Welcome to the channel! Now if I'm being honest, if your best finish is 8th then wheelmode is not relevant to why you're losing. Many of us have demolished lobbies hundreds of times on standard steering. You can find some of those races on this very channel 😃

well then that would certainly explain things you know i figured something like this would happen when they added cross play i cannot say im surprised but i am a little shocked with how long it took for something like this to happen definitely needs to be fixed asap cause pc players now have a huge advantage

Next season. I hope Wheel mode filer will be fixed to be a fair for everyone to use.

[@CuteSnackElli]

it seems like such a simple fix... they just need to add an option to disable it that's all!! i use wheelmode on controller as i dont have money for a wheel and honestly i dont know how people play without it, its so sad too see how ivory tower r dealing with it

[@_itsjustm3_]

X/D was the key... like we all did in TC1 summits ^ ^

You can Actualy drift with precision . Your faster and turns don’t require you to preform perfect apex every turn

Nice video. This explains why a friend switched to PC... What Im curious about, will you guys keep using wheelmode?

[@dxtro4fun380]

Yeah you need to be on a pc coz you need a 3rd party software

Where did you get that gorgeous controller input design? I use it in my recordings as well but I never understood how to implement these custom designs.

[@pietergouws8521]

Ubisoft give us contact ghosting like gt and fix the stupid car switch mid race and please give us an option to select parts that we want to scrap ... i sit in the game for what feels like hours scrapping parts then when im done i dont even want to play anymore😑

[@glitch_finder69]

This issue has also been the case in the crew 2 with the drag cars, usually on controller, the drag cars SUCK to turn, they have way too little turning ratios and they just understeer straight into a wall, but with wheel mode? Oooohoho with wheel mode you might as well use drag cars for your everyday situations because it has so much lighter steering that it doesn't even feel like a drag car anymore They really need to fix this cuz it's just ridiculous at this point #FairplayTCM

Maybe this time the community can pull it off but this has been an issue since Crew 1 and Ivory Towers has done absolutely nothing to remedy the cheats, exploits and glitches of their games. After 8 years playing Crew 1 and 2 I knew Motorfest was the same ole same ole. Here we are talking about wheelmode...yet again and still in the 3rd game. Good luck getting the fix. I loved Ivory Towers and was a big supporter of them early on. After 8 years of waiting for the right changes and fixes...I moved on. I wish the best but I wouldn't hold my breath. Hopefully they prove me wrong...8 years later.

[@thecrewmotorfestvivient17]

Very good video, yes, it is really time for ivt to become aware of the problems of the game, and also the respaws, because no one buys the game, to play with the respaws technique, because it takes away all the interest in playing.

I'm just an average controller user and I won three grand races in a row. Then I got messaged by some guy telling me "i am a noob wheelmode player"... At first I was clueless and thought "what's this guy waffling about", and went to search it up on YT just to find this... I can only imagine what my streak would be with this thing on😂😂

[@BitsPieces______]

It is a HUGE problem I’ve always complained about the input delay of steering in the crew I even put my dead zone to 0 and it still is very slow at turning smh

[@mattylatvala43]

Its ironic bc we both know it won't be fixed and more players now know of this

[@thegforce522]

I like the fairplay tcm movement, and the video is great. It grabs attention. Bit unfortunate with the timing now that ivt is on holiday break though. What i'm missing, and i suggest we as a community come together and agree on is a solution. There are multiple ways to adress the unfairness of wheelmode, but not all of them are equally fair to the players. Adding wheelmode as an option seems fair at first, but like you said it is way too sensitive for most. I think the game should apply a filter to any input, including wheel, and that we can adjust the strength of said filter to our own liking through a slider in the menu. With a minimum strength that reduces or removes the ability to flick cars as easily.

[@danieldenardo6673]

So thats why its impossible to keep up on the slalom feats. I couldnt figure out where I was going wrong. Guess its not a skill issue.

[@GarageHaruo]

They need to fix that, the vehicle changing being inconsistent and where they put the checkpoint especially when they add stupid ass planes kn the race, the sound not working when you switch cars, and putting in more pvp races and adding no collision. The amount of taces I've lost simply because people cannot drive and i always get stuck in between them and the people that use other racers as walls because they can't race cleanly is too damn much.
