Ramming? What the heck?

[jaxx]

Three times today, I was racing, and then all of a sudden, a toon rams me and I stop cold while they keep going, putting me in last place. This is EXTREMELY frustrating. If this is not a glitch, how do you do this?

[Cool Corny ELectrofoot]

There's no way of doing this on purpose. It's not a glitch. The people who ram you don't know they have rammed you. You have probably rammed many people too. You just can't control it. You won't know if you ram someone. If you do ram someone (or get rammed) it's probably in the very beggining of the race because that's what everyone is near each other.

Ramming happens alot and mainly to me. My sfs will be racing with me and a non-sf and he will ram me and my sf will pass me and laugh.

CCE is correct, if you have two accounts you can easily see this affect. Its so odd, my toons appear to be right next to each other on one monitor and one is leading on the other, but it doesn’t appear to be close enough to hit on either. I kept running this way and randomly on one monitor or the other they would hit and one would almost be stopped by it. I didn’t hit any keys or screenshots or anything but it still did it. So i guess all you can do is take it in stride with the law of averages and hope it all equals out

I find GSW almost unplayable due to lag. I often see other racers' cars flickering between two positions, one next to me and one maybe 10 car lengths ahead. If my car gets anywhere in between the two positions, I get "rammed", and slow way down. I think the flickering is caused by either a bug in their interpolation code, or just a complete lack of interpolation at all, which would be pathetic.

This plus the random anviling, cheaters, and all the stinking, make GSW pretty annoying.

[Pirate Huntress]

You can still win if you've be anviled.
Just save a speed boost, or if you can't get that, an anvil.

[Emily L.]

yeah when i get a speed boostr i always save it, if im in first.
but I HATE when I get rammed, it is sooo annoying.

CcE is correct, ramming basically happens when you first start off and you start to bump into the people next to you.

[Squiddy22]

Uhh, I hate ramming. I call it bumping, but whatever.

[Mister_Diddy]

I just save my speed boost for at the end on a speed up on the track for a double speed boost

[Fennec]

Agh yeah that drives me insane too. ;_;

Now, CCE is an expert racer, and if he does not know exactly, then my chances of knowing are slim.

BUT!!!!! Try this next time.

In order to RAM someone and make them stop, you need to hit a speed boost on the ground or with a present, and purposefully run into the back side of them.

You will then cause them to stop.

But, if you hit a wall in this mode, then I can guarantee that you will stop also.

I have never worried about ramming. But the wall glitchers are the ones you have to watch out for.

What CCE says about the ramming in the beginning of the race is true. When you start the race you never know who will get rammed and be forced to stop. Typically, the slowest computer and slowest internet connection will SUCCESSFULLY be able to RAM the faster computer and connection. I have tested this one so I am pretty darn sure of this part of it.
