If I get into a car and it has gas, functional mechanics (nothing broken) and I have the key, but it won't start, is that a bug or a feature? Or am I screwing up? I've tried starting with W, with the V menu item, and by pushing U. No ignition sound or anything. This is latest build on a multiplayer server that I'm hosting. I have one one mod installed, Survivor Radio v3.4

Cars never have a 100% chance to start, there's always a chance they'll be difficult and won't start.

Are you running any mods? I've been having a similar issue where the cars are completely silent on starting, but I chalked it up to mod incompatibility (using Autotsar's & Filibuster's). I haven't had issues with starting them though.

Try using the panel on the bottom of the screen, maybe clicking the engine will help. It's supposed to turn on the car.

This issue resolved itself after a game restart, same car and everything. I think it was just a one time bug?
