Oh boy where do i start.
I used to spend most of my time in CarX Street just drifting in multiplayer freeroam lobbies. That was my main thing — not racing, just finding good roads, working on setups, and drifting with other people. When the game ran properly it felt really good. The physics and customization made it easy to lose hours in.
But the technical problems never went away. Serious stuttering, frame drops, and desync in multiplayer were constant and real. You’d be mid-drift and the game would suddenly hitch hard, the frame time would collapse, or other cars would start rubber-banding and teleporting. In freeroam lobbies it got even worse. What should have been smooth kept getting ruined by instability that never fully got fixed.
Cheating was another big problem. Infinite nitro, macros, speed hacks and various mod menus were common even in casual drift lobbies. Easy Anti-Cheat got added and for a lot of us it barely helped while making performance worse. The actual cheats kept working.
The modding side also went downhill. A lot of it moved into private Discords where people were selling paid mod menus and paid tools and Modded cars. It stopped being just visual stuff and became a way for people to buy clear advantages. Combined with weak enforcement, the online side felt unfair and messy.
What actually destroyed it for me was the toxicity and the harassment. The multiplayer spaces and the community around the game became genuinely harmful. I dealt with prolonged targeted attacks, false rumors, and serious privacy violations that went on for a very long time. It stopped being a place to just drift and chill and started affecting my real life and mental health in a deep way. For around two years I felt constantly on edge, worthless, and miserable. Even now I’m still dealing with the trauma from it. No game is worth that kind of damage.
It also felt like the developers never really prioritized the things that mattered most — stable performance, working anti-cheat, and a safer online environment. Updates kept coming with features a lot of us never asked for, while the stuttering, desync, cheating, and toxic atmosphere stayed only half-addressed.
I’m done. I’ve uninstalled the game and I’m not coming back. If you’re looking for a smooth place to just drift in multiplayer without constant technical issues, paid cheats, and a community that can turn toxic enough to seriously hurt people in real life, this isn’t it.Not recommended. Take care of yourself first.
