Dzsono: I played I'76 last century and I've never seen/heard of the wobbly tires bug. At least it seems like a bug that's fitting for the "funkiness" of the game.
I keep reading this is somehow related to the game running in too high a framerate on new PCs. I've vsync-locked my system to 60 fps which is supposed to help, but still I see that when the black guy is driving in his own car, he seems to have a bit bumpy drive, as if he is hitting stones on the road every now and then. I presume that is the "wobbly tires" bug. But so far, that hasn't affected the actual gameplay.
I might try to run it also on my older/slower WinXP machine, but I presume it is also far too fast for the game. And as said, so far the bug(?) hasn't been game-breaking. I have finished the basegame a long time ago, but still to play the Nitro pack. I figured I'd replay the base game first, and then the expansion.
Dzsono: I also have a question that just occurred to me. Have you ever visited Hungary or had exposure to a group of Hungarians? I ask because the 3 months or so that I lived in Finland was quite strange as I often thought I heard Hungarian being spoken in the background, but was obviously Finnish when I paid attention to it. Have you experienced the reverse of this?
Sorry, no. The closest I've been to Hungary was either Germany or south France, whichever is closer. But I've certainly read that the two languages might be somehow related... but maybe it was only that both languages are just so obscure in Europe that they both stand out.
Which is more than fine by me, I like it that I can tell people abroad what shitheads they are at their face or comment on their appearance, and they have no idea what I'm saying. It is like my own code language, I'd hate to know only some widely known language like English.
