This is the 2.06/2.07 Bug Thread. All 2.05 bugs carry over. Bugs in blue I have confirmed are still in game.

The info is only as good as I am given, but I will check most of these bugs when I can and make a effort to update this thread weekly. If you think a bug here is fixed let me know. If you have a bug, try to describe it in a way where I can copy and paste it on to the list.

So far what is off the list is...
1.Scion's can now be shared
2.F1/Karts not able to run with other cars
3.Freezing after a race (but could return if it happens)
4. Invisible wall at Route X near pit lane gone. After 2.07 able to pit as well.


EXTREME ISSUES

1.Sometimes slow loading bar before a hang up when you enter a online trial/single race/seasonal race/2P battle or joining a lounge. Quitting the game required. Much like the slow loading bar in races/joining lounge the SSR X Speed test will fail to load after a few runs forcing you to quit the game. AKA the slow loading bar of death. Many people say this issue can simply not be fixed because its not a consistent bug but this happens 1 plus times a day I play and needs to be fixed above all other things IMO. Also there is a similar bug when you leave a track the game takes away all options and you watch the AI constantly drive around the track but the game never goes back to the menu.
Tally since 2.06-Zero times


2.NEW TO 2.06 There seems to be a problem with driver's cars being very quiet/silent when any competitor is near. The patch was supposed to improve this but it got worse. Replays are also affected and the sound is very poor in scenic view after the patch. This includes rear speakers barely working and stereo sound. People changing to Small Theater sound setting can help.



MAJOR Issues


1.Horns/gear/paint/museum cards do not stack properly. For example I own two separate Horn 160's instead of one with a quantity of two.

2. Top Gear Test Track has a massive shortcut where drivers take a left and come across the line backwards instead of taking a right to complete the whole track.

3. Online qualifying broken. Cars sometimes not in proper order on grid. Also leaving track even without changing settings or car will reset your time.

4.Penalty system broken and lets the dirty driver penalize the clean driver if done right. It is also not right if a driver slightly overdrives a corner but completely stays on track but ghosts anyway and a driver passes them by going though them when they may have never gotten around in a real race.

Likely Lag Based Bugs/IssuesThese are bugs likely all due to lag but this does not mean a fix couldn't happen so definitely worth listing.

1. Game/player will sometimes lag and make the second place car the winner in terms of money/xp and will say they won when clearly behind.
2. People can't hear/see everybody in the lounge/private lounge including friends,but not always both. Seems to happen a lot more lately.
3. Online races "major lap time bug" has gotten better but still exists. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=237539

4. Black screen issues when the race starts. It can vary on length of time, but very common to start normal with a countdown as soon as one person leaves the room. There are times where the race will start without countdown/shortened but everyone starts at the same time. Other possibilities include when not every driver comes out of the black screen at the same time and people are able to get head-starts on other drivers.
5. Lag-like issues for people with very good internet connections. The biggest issue is a random lobby disconnect while driving. It takes a very long time to get back to the open lobby screen and you usually get a psn error disconnecting you, but you can sign right back in and resume without quitting the game. Sometimes the whole room will crash with you, sometimes its just you. Other issues include poor mic quality, very very slow garage loading (and possible rare freeze), random disconnects before even entering the room, slow to enter the track, car glitchy to others on track, and slow tuning navigation. Also some people with very good connections in the room lag more when people with poor connections enter. Having a large garage (1000 cars) seems to make lag much worse as well. Obviously if you have a bad connection you can experience these problems too.
6.Tire screech sometimes goes away in online lounge. Believed to be lag.
7.People in lounge sometimes don't have the yellow circle next to their coffee cup. When they do at times you may get "you can't join messages" or even a rare "blocked form room" when you were not kicked.
8.Lounge leader can sometimes start a race in the pits and be left off the grid. (Heard recent reports. No one I race with though)
9.Comment box where its says people join/leave your room will appear while your on track but empty of text so you have no idea who left/joined/typed message.
10.Time intervals of 99.99.99.999 when you cross a sector. This odd time also seems to pop up on race results where the last car to cross the line keeps getting it until the post race timer ends or the last driver is stuck with it.
11. Split times not popping at certain sectors but usually not every lap
.
12. Standings on right side of screen not showing running order correctly.
13. Very very slow exit of a lounge even a freeze at times.


Minor Issues/Needed Minor Tweaks

Online
1.Sometimes track options are unavailable to room leader until a reset best done by switching damage on and off then back. Occasionally the tracks options only are greyed out as a host but still changeable and greyed out as a racer but still readable
2.When you are watching people race online, or watching an online replay from your library, no one's speedometers other than your own will read above 357mph
3.In online lounge, when you select "No Active Steering" or "Driving line", in the chat window, it will say "Active Steering/Driving line allowed" even though it's disabled. Toggling the option still bring the wrong message.
4. Sometimes on Nurburgring (Time Change and Weather) and rarely at other tracks you go to pause and exit to return to the pits. Except, it doesn't put you in the pits and the pause menu disappears. It can be unpaused and be able to continue driving, except instruments are gone too. This means the speedometer, gear number, tire wear bars and gas bar are gone. When you go to pause again, the pause menu is still gone and finding the exit button is a difficult and still doesn't work along with the other pause menu buttons. Must quit game. In a similar bug when on the track, the controls are visible but drive and start race are greyed out. The red exit man is there but has no effect and you must quit the game.


Tracks
5.SSR X Issues: Minor graphic issues like lights in the tunnel on SSR X on the second straight go away after you exit the tunnel. Cars are also sinking into the road in the rear view mirror. You may also see weird things during races/replays like cars flying, dropping at start, parts of track disappearing, cars barrel rolling etc.
6.Kart Space I: The number of corners is wrong. The track has 9 corners but the game counts 8.
7.Course maker: Sometimes -5 or -4 corner sharpness makes it actually as sharp as +5
8. Also a rare course maker bug, the last and first corners can be oddly wide and possible to get sucked in and stuck in the edge of them.
9.On the Eiger tracks, when driving in first person view, the mountain scenery in the rear view mirror is not there. Bug has been fixed and come back in the past.


Misc. bugs
11.You can't use your custom tracks in 2 player battle made after Spec 2.0 (October 2011 roughly)
12.Electric cars battery drains with unlimited tire/fuel selected.
13.Replay fast forward/rewind functions do not work in replays that were recorded in 2 player mode.
14.When batteries are empty in electric car you can still go faster than 50kmh limit by gently operating with gas pedal.
15. Nordschliefe time change icon in practice shows GP course when not used for this configuration.
16. Sometimes the sound does not work proper on starting game. It goes in and out. Unplugging and reinserting the HDMI seems to work.
17.When using a supported wheel (DFGT, G25/7 have been reported) and using some cars in dirt rally races, the wheel will lose the 900 degrees of rotation. Instead of 2.5 turns lock to lock it gets cut down to 1.5 turns, making the steering ratio much quicker. So far I have found it to be like this on every dirt track, but only some of the snow tracks. It also doesn't happen to every car.
18.License S-7 still has a huge short cut on the Top Gear Test Track that would get someone disqualified on other special events.
19. Personal BGM issues where doesn't play songs, repeats same song, menu music plays while on track, etc.
20.The GT5 log shows every gifted suit/helmet as correct name followed by the -01 in your log instead of the gears actual number.
21.The GT5 log shows every gifted paint as wrong chip name followed by correct paint name in your log.
22. Not all races/seasonal races/license test/special event medals/wins show up on log. You could see gold achieved on License test 1 2 4 5 for example, although you got the gold on 3 too.
23.Usually PP value in garage (list view) does not update how it should due to a tire miscalculation until the car is used for the first time.
24.The Car Restoration Coupon description says it Removes Tuning Parts in the first screen and than in the confirmation screen it says All tuning parts, wheels etc. will be kept.
25.Wheels description in GT Auto and online manual still states that you can't change wheels for standards. Manual also says changing suits is not possible.
26. On the back of the Official Gran Turismo Helmet a office/desk can be seen. I highly doubt its there on purpose. Zoom in in a photo mode to see it.

27.Hitting START button in acceleration capabilities test places car in tunnel next to pits and test lasts only few meters until fi.nish line is crossed.
28. Certain cars when racing a tuning prohibited race when detuned to stock exactly, still will not work.
29.When car is going on highest revs and hit from behind rev counter goes off scale
6722684723_3a8f7912b7_z.jpg

30.Photo-mode. Bloom and flare effect does not reset when you turn filters off. So after turning on then off cold or mono filters you have no bloom, but after warm it's there but even heavier than in normal mode. Flare is gone always after filter change because filters don't use it and you can turn it on only by leaving camera mode (when filters are off).
31. Sometimes switched cars does not add up on certain cars making possible to have miles/wins with no switches. For me it was the Denso Sard SC430
32. Time change at custom tracks is off. Tracks with no time change are changing time and tracks with are not until reloading it.



Cars specifications and descriptions
33.Tornado Made a large list of cars with wrong specifications.
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=193920 Go here for your incorrect weight, transmission,drivetrain, localization, and power issues compared to real life.
.
34.VW 1200 '66 still has wrong weight in dealership, despite correct weight in garage.
35.In the Special Event/Grand Tour/Eiger Nordwand it states that the Alfa 8C is a FWD car. Only in some countries. I believe Germany is one.
36.Mitsubishi Lancer EX 1800GSR IC Turbo - description in English version says that it's AWD car, which is not correct, as it is FR car.
37.Daihatsu MIRA TR-XX Avanzato R '97 looses power and pp after installing stage III engine upgrade
38.VW Museum card 47 has a picture of a Polo but describes a Golf.http://imgur.com/mpHgw
39.In some cars descriptions fuel efficiency figures are wrong (999L/100km, or Xkm/L where it should be XL/100km). Cars affected: Priuses, Golf VI R, Honda Insight LS 2009, Acura DN-X
40.Lamborghini Aventador needs a space between "mph" and "of" in description (US version)http://imgur.com/Vkgzb
41.XJR-9 (standard and premium) description claims it ran LeMans in 1998. Really it was in 1988 (US and Italian version)
http://imgur.com/93i72
42.Description of Corvette C1 is description of Chevy Silverado (US version). http://imgur.com/oGxAs
43.Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GSR RM '05 has too many spaces between IX and GSR in name. Could be US only.
eNfuf.jpg

44.Audi Abt Audi TT-R Touring Car, 04 Pontiac GTO, and 04 Mercedes SL 65 AMG all have broken taillights.

45.The Lexus IS-F Racing Concept taillights don't turn brighter when braking while driving on night courses.
46.The description of the 2002 Mini Cooper S lists the S model as having "113 HP and 109.9 ft-lb of torque" while it should read 160 HP and 161.3 ft-lb based on the in-game stats
47.Mirrors on some standards don't work.One is the Vauxhall Tigra 1.6 interior mirror. The mirror itself is there, but it has no reflection material.Mirrors sketchy anyway, there's a lot of glitching. Especially obvious in replays.
48. Reverse lights don't work correctly on Golf VI and Mini Countryman (premium). Its a bug as most standards are the ones with no reverse lights.
49.If you install a fully customizable transmission on the Volvo C30 R-Design, when you change into sixth gear in interior mode it will show a "D" in the gear indicator instead of a "6". Could be US only.
50. Murcielago and chrome line Murcielago call the the car 460 instead of 640 in the description at one point. Could be US only.
51. Both LMP Audi R8 race cars and I assume all other open LMPS wheels can be seen going through the body when turning left/right.
52. Gas man is levitating gas can a foot above spoiler after tires done changing in X2010/X2011
53. In the 1970 Challenger/Challenger RM description, the Camaro referenced is spelled Camero. May be US Version only.
54. Badges on the 71 Europa are exclusive to 73 therefore a 73.
55.Toyota 86 GT '12 - analog speedometer doesn't have limiter and goes beyond scale all the way back to 0.
56.Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 TC - the Standard Center Differential is incorrect, showing 150/-50
57.Toyota MR2 GT-S '97 - LSD acceleration value (80) of stock LSD is higher than highest setting of custom LSD (60). Bug is present in some other cars, but for now only this one is confirmed
58. Atenza/Mazda 6 Touring cars description call the car a FR when 4WD in game
59. Shelby Series One uses NA specs when calls it the supercharged model.
60.Dodge Viper ACR - speedometer is counting miles as kilometers and maxes out at 220 km/h.


Honorable Mentions
This is split into two sections. First is for misc. weird Stuff/possible bugs or just very annoying and needs a tweak. The second area is one off bugs I can't replicate and only one person has reported so far so at least one more report is needed before it makes the "official" list,

Weird Stuff/Tweaks
1. Confirmed seasonal glitch so not permanent....Stars and Stripes seasonal title once at track is wrong with random &amp in it. Also why do they list 5 laps twice in a row?
2. Unlikely to be fixed due to known complications but skid marks/damage on track/car before it happens when rewinding replays.
3. Invisible walls at Top Gear are only a problem if your cutting/out of control, but should be removed or backed up so people in penalty based rooms that spin or lose it don't hit them.
4. More of a tweak on this one but worth a mention-Race End BGM special-tunes does not play when Race BGM is set to OFF in music-options
5. When car is changed, change count updates after race/GT auto visit, not immediately
6. In GT Auto during paint animation electric cars have generic petrol engine sound. (Not sure on this one as all cars have the generic sound anyway)

7. With no added weight ballast affects the car. No one sure if done on purpose.
8.Rubber left on road on static weather and time tracks does not receive shadows in tunnels, so it shines too much.
9. B-Spec Monaco drivers hit the barriers too much and a slight change in path may be needed.
10. Gion, Kyoto Photo Travel location there is strange loud sound in background, something like construction site. It is there but not known if intentional or not but rather annoying
11. Yet to see it on permanent trials but the Nurburgring time trial does not display intervals correctly when you finish the lap.
12. Having a highly tuned car makes all white Citroen Concepts the only competitor when you choose single race option.
13. Obviously a very hard fix but its weird watching the pit crew put tires through the fenders on cars like the R89C, 2J, XJR-9, 2CV, Etc. A forced interior view pit stop may be the only real "fix" for these cars. Another pit stops issue is some tracks have no crew, although intentional a bit of an eye sore.
14. Ghost car seems to lag a little before it runs correctly.
15. Weird sun spot glare at Nordschleife when track is very clear.
16. Bug where headlights disappear in rear view at Nordschleife but when you look back they are there.


One off Bugs
17. Sometimes in practice after going to "My Courses" other track tabs can't be accessed.
18. Watch race tab got skipped when others where at practice but all other tabs worked and race was joinable.
19.Cars at Eiger will sink into track after jump on replays.
20.Nurburgring 24 hour track is slow to load up and disappears sometimes. While driving final sector before the long straight the track had disappeared. I could drive, but there was no road texture showing. (This one seems like it should be elevated anyone had this issue?)
21. In photo mode when using triangle to access the menu, the options on the bottom reset to default.
22.Mute player option not working.
23.Tires not warming up through online race.
24.When adding a MID RPM turbo kit to a car, the graph in settings does not update.
25.Countdown music on repeat after race starts.
26.Take photo option greyed out and not working until restart replay.
27.When you load the track you want to play in time trials, the leaderboards come up etc. the camera used to give you different views of the track/words all disappear.
28. Abnormally fast laps when practicing in a lounge. Laps a second or more faster when it seems they shouldn't be (running consistent laps etc.)
29. After using a backup save unclaimed gifts can not be obtained and are stuck in your inbox.


Notes: 1. It is known that some cars when reducing power will go up in PP (Toyota 7, Special, V8 Vantage, Vertigo, Speed 12 and more). This is not thought of as a bug because the car is believed not to be able to handle all the power.

2.It is also known some speedometers go "off the clock". Most of these are believed to be correct as they do this in real life.

3.Finally I Haven't seen it in a while but if you have please post-At Nurburgring Nordschleife: A colorful line sometimes appears starting from the middle of Caracciola Karussell ("The Carousel") and ends about 200m later.

I was just about to come here and complain that this is not necessary..
But looks like you aren't just some complainer.

Great work!
 
I had the engine sound of my own car going numb, whilst passing a AI car, and the AI cars sound was disturbed also (sounded like a electrical disturbance). Didn't experience this before 2.06

Anyone can confirm this?

I had exactly the same problem racing a friend last night straight after the update. It happened in several cars, and you need to be a long, long distance away from another vehicle before all the sounds come back to full volume. It was very weird and distracting; it is literally like you have someone on a mixing deck turning your volume up and down depending on how close or far you are from anyone else. When side by side, it is impossible to know when your are wheelspinning or when you need to change gear unless you are looking at the rev counter, as everything from my vehicle was nothing short of silent. 👎

Also, when looking backwards in 3rd person view, the volume was not only much louder, but mostly coming from the right channel too.
 
A 2.06 fix:

Fixed an issue where it becomes difficult to hear your own car when driving with other race cars in online races, etc.

This one, doesn't work. It simply just got worse and now my car is almost dead silent around others. :grumpy:
 
I can´t call this a great work because on my PS3 and on my GT5 most of these "errors" are wrong or incorrect. And i repeat on my PS3.

My copy of GT5 must be special because i am checking those "errors" one by one and can´t find most of them. My game is working properly by now. The names on the cars as the Evo IX GSR is fine and the Chrome Murcielago is listed as 640 as it should be and not 460.
Strange bugs.

The only weird things are in the car engine sounds. In some cars you can hear strange noise and it is hard to explain actually.Sounds like this: "TRTRTTRTRTTR" lol More or less. Like an electrical sound.

(need to check online but i don´t care too much about online really)

But the other bugs don´t know what to say. Why appear in some games and not in mine?...

Some errors in things like names and descriptions are specific to one language version of the game. That may be part of it.
 
Great thread man keep it up.

edit : new bug i can't mute , you can mute but you still hear him.

edit : connection issues made that problem someone check it out maybe its a BUG.

49.If you install a fully customizable transmission on the Volvo C30 R-Design, when you change into sixth gear it will show a "D" in the gear indicator on the car cockpit view instead of a "6".

Seems normal to me. It seems it would imply the car is an automatic as in my automatic Saturn, I can choose the top allowed gear; 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and D that would initially be 5th.
 
You can add that the taillights on the 04 Pontiac GTO 5.7 are also broken and don't light up at night unless you hit brakes.:ouch:

Saw the audio issues for myself. Pretty bad and added to major issues.

Matt added to the taillight post.

Paskowitz thanks!

Welsh its interior only. Does it in US version at least. It goes 1 2 3 4 5 D. I get what your saying but it doesn't do it for the stock tranny. Just the full customization.

Punisher could not replicate so added to one off bugs for now.

Morgoth you are correct about language and descriptions etc. The US has many more tiny errors. I believe the Corvette with Silverado description was even in the PSP version.

Foxiol until you make your own error thread please don't criticize mine. A few bugs are listed as US only, but I know a few more need this edit. I can only play the US version of the game. My Eiger special event description is fine but listed that bug because the German version is not right.

Pit stop at Route X doesn't work (at least in singleplayer). I tried pitting in practice and one make race, game resets me on the pit lane and drives me through it without stopping or having options to refuel and change tires. Tried at high and low speeds, doesn't work for me.

But, someone needs to check it also to confirm.
 
here is an annoying one, that I have not seem many people report on. The REPLAY in the scenic mode... They have really messed up the replay sound in that view. Noticed it straight away. The REAR speakers have almost no sound in replay in that view. Aside from the other sound tweaks they've made, this one REALLY has let me down, as part of the fun for me is watching my replays and blasting the sound. Now instead of 5.1 sound, it sounds as if it is only stereo sound played back, really DISAPPOINTING!... I know the differances between living room, theatre, etc.. It is not because of that, they really messed up the replay sound. I wonder if this will ever get fixed, lol
 
I noticed a small bug when I was doing a bit of driving around yesterday:

Whenever you cross the start/finish line, the loading of the ghost car will cause a short but noticeable lag, probably half a seconds worth.

...I've this problem before, but just not as noticeable.

I think its normal its like loading the ghost.

Yea i noticed it Froze, before it would stutter =P
 
I did a bit of digging into the Misc. bug 9 and I can confirm that this bug came from the Spec 2.0 update, when they added Spa and kart Space ect.

I have a bunch of custom tracks new and old, so i checked to see exactly when this bug started to effect tracks. It came up between 10/8/11 and 10/16/11 right when the 2.0 update showed up.
 
If you read the description of the Dodge Challenger, old school one, I believe Camaro is spelt wrong, says Camero. I'm not sure how many people read these but I do from time to time, could be many others.

Check your sound settings as in Large Room, Small Room etc. It may have unintentionally changed with the update and it makes a dramatic difference in the sound.
 
Right after installing the update i had a problem during shifting, or more likely when i let the car role through a corner my gear went neutral gear without pushing any pedal or shifting. I never had this before. Did anyone else of you had this problem?

I use g27 i didn't have any trouble with anything, what kind of steering wheel do you use ?
 
Nordschleife shows dark/black sun spot at certain parts on the track.
e.g. set time to 19:40, it happens when the sun gets behind the road (when road elevation changes.
 
If anyone can confirm a bug still in black it would be a huge help.

If someone could check the viper and mira bugs I would appreciate it.

Grog edited post for custom track bug.

Added Camaro bug urmie.

Penguin I will put that in hr as that is a tough call.

Blunt I see your issue. Going to try to change sound settings like Johnny said though just to double check.

MSPD I also am okay on shifting. Maybe its a particular wheel? Also could you verify in the Eiger grand tour special event the description still calls the car a fwd? I think I remember that being Germany/Italy that has this bug.

Puzom, sounds interesting. Will take a look soon.

Fifo first thing tommorow.

Also got entries for the Europa and tracks without a pit crew.

I experienced a bout of "birds eye view", like the one in Prologue in a lobby last night. I was entered in the race, but the Drive and Start Race buttons were greyed out, nd I couldn't back out, either. the red man was there, and went Bong whn i pressed it, but nothing would happen.

That has been like that for as long as I can remember. I didn't realize it wasn't common knowledge. It seems to only happen when the sky is fully clear, but I could be wrong about that. I just know it doesn't always happen. It kind of looks like you see the back of the reflection showing through the road texture, so it's a negative "glare" that is actually visible.
 
Back
