WOW..., they really need to patch the freezing issue with the consoles! How many of you have hit this glitch multiple times? Yesterday I lost serious game date TWICE within 1 hour of play due to the game locking up the system.

There are reports that the XBox is experiencing more lock ups too. I've also talked to others that are seeing an issue I'm having as well. At start up.., it's like the game loses its video signal.., and then gets it back.

If I get another lock up that results in game data loss., I'm shelving the game until it's patched. Yesterday in several events (ON THE LAST RACE) of the event.., I got system lock ups. When restarting.., I found that ALL data in the previous races in that event were wiped clean.., and only saved the more recent race data for the event. This was very annoying because I had to redo some races that took a long time to complete because the AI was going insane during them causing me to do constant restarts.
 
Same here - all my freezes happened in the tuning/upgrade section. Very frustrating! You spend time setting it up just the way you want it then it locks up. Not cool..

Lockups confirmed here, and in a way it's good news to me.

My 360 locks occasionally when upgrading a car in Shift 2, and then again when exiting an event. On some occasions, at the race start, the game drops video output (displays a black screen.) It's very annoying, but good news considering I thought my console was about to red ring.

These bugs seem fixable. The upgrade lock is probably related to memory handling (not unlike when Forza would lock up accessing a really large garage of cars- which was patched), and the video output drop might be a similar issue- at least I hope.
 
Mine froze once after playing 6+ hrs. But what games don't freeze. This is not the only game that has frozen on me. Nothing a reset can't fix and its has autosave at that.

Giving its less that a week old, its going to have its problems. There is only so much testing you can do. The game is now played by thousands and not just the testers and in house. There are going to be issues, point blank.
 
My PS3 slim hangs on all the menus, button presses are not responsive, and the gameplay hangs and stutters during the race. I'm not talking framerate issues, I mean actually stops and starts. GT5 is not having these issues at all. Hopefully a patch is out soon, I had hopes for this game.
 
Mine hasn't frozen yet but every now and then it kinda stutters for a second and then it's fine again.

Auto Save is pointless when the lock up wipes previously completed data. Sure it's not big deal (if) you're lucky enough to get a lock up that hits a time that data isn't lost. However., completing career events that include multiple races per event becomes a big issue when the lock up occurs here and previously saved and completed races get wiped clean!
 
well im blessed no lock ups so far but i have only put in about 5 hours total in the game
 
I hope they patch it. Isn't nice to say but it's like you are all "beta-testing" the game. I hope they'll improve wheel support as well.
 
PS3 here, mine has frozen three separate times, once in tuning, once in replay, and once after the completion of a hot lap even. Thankfully in all cases it froze after completing an auto-save. Yes, other games do occasionally glitch, but this one is by far the worst I've seen so far.
 
My first time was about 5 minutes into the game scrolling through the car lot. Since then I've had it freeze up on me 2 more at different points in the game.
 
I've got a PS3 here and mine only freezes on the loading screen after a race.

Happened to me 3 times yesterday.
 
You guys should edit your posts to reflect the hardware this way:

PS3 (fat /slim) - firmware version
xbox 1,2, 360 (don't know xbox sorry) and the firmware version
Wheel / pad

PC - OS, SPs, drivers (graphic card, wheel, joystick? :) )

Nothing weird. Better yet, use that info and open a support ticket. The more, the merrier right? Hopefully, it has better results than just complaining in forums.

I believe that are people who like the game and i understand it should've come right from the beginning but now that the money is spent at least, put some pressure on the devs.
 
I played the game for about three hours, and the game froze once at the car-lot, and once when it was loading decals.

Also, when I was racing at Bathurst, I pressed triangle for the rear view and ALL audio cut-out. Even when I went beck to the main menu and into the audio settings, the game sound never returned. Has anyone else come across this before?

It was fine though, becuase I ejected the disc and spent the rest of the evening playing with photomode on GT5. Shift 2 will be returned to the video store today (I'm glad it's only a rental).
 
My froze during Tune tests and i didn't have time to save my tune. But this is my first freeze during free run
 
i am seriously thinking about returning this game to the store.
the freeze problem is annoying and EA:s way of dealing with the problem isnt making it any better...have not heard anything about a fix for it. are they just slow or dont care about the problems? im hoping for slow but if nothing happens before tomorrow night i am taking the game back to the store on sunday
