Car should just drive as per normal.

Car cannot be driven

Here is a video of this issue. The car loses the ability to drive and will slow to a stop, and the player can’t drive. This happens on several games by other creators, including ours, with different cars having this same issue.

I haven’t had this issue for 2 weeks and it just started now for literally no reason.

Really really frustrated as was gonna release a driving based map tomorrow and now not sure if its permanently broken

Time seems to vary from 2 seconds to 30s of driving, then the car wont respond to any input. New cars still work though???

Yeah, I’ve definitely been having this problem for over a week, though I’ve mainly noticed it with motorcycles/bikes. Wanted to try some driving maps and couldn’t get very far, and had to rely on a friendly player/available passenger seat to get past a driving section of a deathrun. Very frustrating.

For console info I am on xBox.

I’m still having this problem in creative maps. Cars, helicopters, and airplanes stop responding after 30s. Exiting vehicles also sometimes ejects me oddly - either shoots me super far or slightly inside the vehicle!
