Mafia 2 boat glitch. - General

Yeah, pretty weird... Also, i wonder how it managed to only happen when you turned around.

That has got to be one of the weirdest glitches I've seen so far.

:ninja: boat.

The Enrichment Center reminds you that the boat will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.

The camera must push it down??

That looks like an impressive game. [editline]01:45AM[/editline] Reminds me of Watson in the Sherlock Holmes game.

How is the boat even rocking like that when the water is completely flat?

It's like the boat is removed from existence when you are not looking at it but re spawned once you a looking a certain angle close to it.

Shouldn't spawn underwater.

Why the hell is doing that?

The camera is applying a force to the boat, somehow. Silly czech developers don't know how to physics.

I've heard that it's a fairly buggy game. Strange that it wasn't noticed in development, because I'm sure it happens with other props as well.

I'm on a boat! Oh wait, nevermind.

can someone tell me what happens if you swim too far (or go too far by boat) , because i have always feared open water in games :ohdear: (like in the scarface game , spore , crysis etc)

Aww, little boat just wants a friend.

Maybe it's a feature in the game, to increase performance... No use in having it suck up resources if it isn't on screen

Apparently, of course, but I've not seen the evidence so it remains unbelievable for me [editline]09:17AM[/editline] Holy fucking shit automerge ninja

[QUOTE=TheTalon;24358044]Maybe it's a feature in the game, to increase performance... No use in having it suck up resources if it isn't on screen[/QUOTE] This feature was in all 3d games starting from the very first one.

There's actually a huge octopus monster lurking right under the dock, pulling the boat under every time you look away, but he's very shy.

[QUOTE=LieutenantLeo;24351463]Yeah, pretty weird... Also, i wonder how it managed to only happen when you turned around.[/QUOTE] If the game uses havok by default, which I think it does, I'm pretty sure it's configured to work inside the player's 180 degree PVS state. [editline]02:26AM[/editline] It does this in source sometimes too on lower end systems, but usually only when not inside your visual range.

I'm still going to buy it since i have a love Americana.

so if you look away for about a minute the boat will be upside down!

I think the third person camera is colliding with the boat.

[QUOTE=hovergroovie;24364575]I think the third person camera is colliding with the boat.[/QUOTE] No that's dumb. What's actually happening is it isn't being rendered when you're not looking at it to save performance, then it's put back afterwards. The issue is someone fucked up and made it spawn under the water.

Cthulhu is trying to eat it.

Camera has nothing to do with it. When an object is not in view, it's not rendered or calculated. When it is in view it's re-spawned back and this stuff like this happens.
