Summary

It’s been almost 2 months since the Race Manager HUD UI bug, and it still haven’t got fixed. Due this, I’m in a position where I cannot publish my island because I have my own UI & this duplicated and ruining the racing experience.

In race manager, disabling the checkboxes “Display Race HUD” doesn’t work. When you disable it, save & start the game, you will still see the HUD with all the elements bugged showing XXXXX.

As I said, I have a custom UI made for race HUD & this bug overlaps my own UI.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a race manager device, uncheck the “Display Race HUD” and “Display Race Progress on HUD”, save & start the race/game.

Expected Result

The HUD/UI of the Race Manager cannot be seen.

Observed Result

The HUD/UI is visible & displays the bugged UI with XXXXX.

Platform(s)

On all platforms

Additional Notes

We want to create racing games with other vehicles such as motorbike. The race manager need some love as well, so we as creators can make a lot of different types of racing games using the Race Manager.

We need fix for this bug as soon as possible!

Still not fixed

Almost 4 months later, still not fixed

It looks like it will be fixed in an upcoming update, I’ll check into it.

Still not fixed as yet. The race manager has also been showing the wrong lap number as well and seems to move to the next lap before I’ve even finished the current one. This generally seems to start happening after the first lap. Also the checkpoint number on the race hud will disappear at some point. I’ve double and triple checked all my settings, deleted and re-added the devices and it still happens. Hopefully this will be fixed sooner rather than later so I can finally finish my map and get it published, without having to learn verse code from scratch so I can make my own devices.

Hi Flak is there any update on when this issue will be addressed and fixed? As I stated in my reply previous reply the race manager is also bugged.

  1. It moves to the next lap before the previous lap has finished
  2. The number of checkpoints will disappear before going through the last checkpoint and starting the next lap.

This is currently game breaking. I cannot publish my map until the issue is addressed, either that or I rebuild the entire thing as a rocket racing map which it feels like I may be forced to do due to the lack of movemnt on this issue.

I can confirm all these above issues as I am currently trying to set up a new race in my island.

The ones I am getting daily are…

  • Some checkpoints are not “visually” registering so the next checkpoint is greyed out/checkpoint marker doesn’t show.

  • Laps randomly increase on the HUD even though I have my race manager set to 1 lap, so it will show 2/1, 3/1 etc.

  • Checkpoint numbers on the HUD disappear then reappear randomly.

I noticed if I complete the race and then start another race immediately afterwards these bugs disappear, but they reappear as soon as I end/start a new session/round.

I cannot risk publishing an update as this will confuse players.

It’s pretty frustrating. I wanted to create a map with three different races players could vote on to play but I can’t even get the first one done due to bugged devices. It’s hard to believe the device has been bugged since at least May if not longer, and no moderators have acknowledge the issue since September. Now they’ve added extra settings to it without even fixing it first. Makes no sense. Its starting to feel like they don’t care about race maps made in creative unless they rocket racing maps.
