General Bug/Glitch thread

[Tyger]

I just noticed something weird. When you to a practice event on a track, rather than save your best lap of a given session to the records list (as done in GT2, GT3, GT4 and GT:HD), the game saves every single lap you do to the leaderboard instead. Which, when combined with how you can no longer individually remove records from the list, basically makes any effort to compare cars or settings completely useless.

I think the previous games saved every lap in the same car, if it qualified, but yeah you could delete the slower ones

I've not got as far as testing cars yet but from what I can see, and admittedly this is not a bug but a massive oversight PD make with every game, it only logs 10 times. Why can't it log every time you post, and let you delete dupes? I don't only want to compare the 10 fastest cars, or indeed the one fastest car, with 10 times. Did no one bring this up in those 6 years?

Nah. In previous games, it would only save the best lap of every individual session. Every time I went out onto the track itself from the track menu, it would save the best lap of that go around. And when I went back to the track menu (let's say to adjust some settings) and then back onto the track itself, it would once again only save the best time of that session as well.
GT5, on the other hand, saves every single lap that you do regardless of if was the fastest or not.


Let me put it this way:
I do five laps in a row.
1:34
1:33
1:32
1:35
1:36
In GT4 (and GT2, GT3 and GT:HD. I think it was the same way in last year's Time Trial demo), the only lap that it would save to the records is the 1:32. In GT5, though, it saves all 5 laps to the records board.

Yeah I see what you mean, maybe I am thinking about same car, new session, which would then post both "best" times. At least then you could delete the slower one too, but for it to log the time for each lap of a session in the "top 10" is nuts indeed, you should be able to review your laps at the end of the session but it should only log the best lap as a "record". Sheesh.

i guess this would be considered a glitch....

When you press the brakes on the Camaro IROC-Z, the taillights shut off completely. Pretty sure it wasn't like that in GT4, either.

When driving my premium Elise in the wet, look back when in cockpit mode to see the interior flooding with water.
.

Part of me thinks these are subtle digs at Lotus and American cars' build quality...

Take it back to the dealer, they fitted the wrong engine. A full refund is in order.
The 10 looks fine not photoshopped.

When driving the Acura DN-X with a G27, if you stop completely, with the car in 1st gear, the car will stall and start to go in reverse as fast as you can control it, (thats how I got my 400km/h trophy)
also, with the same car/setup, when stopped and in 1st gear, if you release the clutch without giving any gas, the screen become all black, leaving you with only the HUD and no sound, and the clock still ticking...

 

[MrMooMoo]

I don't know if this has been mentioned but for me the framerate drops when you turn on the windshield wipers.

 

[Organ-Donor]

-The Camaro SS '00 tail lights don't illuminate at night (headlights work, brake lights work when you apply the brake, but when driving normally the tail lights don't illuminate at all so the entire back of the car is pitch black at night.)

 

[Supercheyenne]

Probably has been mention already BUT:

Tire wear doesn't seem to work. Switched from RSoft to RMedium to RHard... same number of laps with each set (within 5 or 10% - and the Softs actually lasted the longest!).

Also the rain tire glitch... surely that's already been mentioned.

I haven't noticed this specifically, but I have noticed the similar thing that when you turn the wipers on the screen tearing goes through the roof.

 

[KazYama85]

If you open the XMB while playing the game does not go in pause mode, for example the Dualshock goes out of battery. It's very strange for a SONY game.

You wanna be an ass about it? Fine:
Mitsubishi GTO SR Specifications.


1996 JDM Mitsubishi 3000GT SR

You noted that PD didn't put any effort into correcting car specifications when they rename cars to the USDM names? Congratulations. You've just realized something that PD has done wrong since 1998. 👍

But let me break down your post:

Wrong.


Wrong. PD has never gotten it right.


Wrong, or at the very least vague enough that it is ridiculous that you are citing it as a glitch that needs to be fixed. Bugatti are built in France by French people under a historical French nameplate. They are a subsidiary of Volkswagen, specifically under the control of Volkswagen of France. If you want to complain about what country Bugatti is listed under, you should just the same make Lamborghini German, TVR Russian, Chrysler Italian and Lotus Malaysian.

So, what was it that you said? Oh yeah:

So because PD got it wrong in a previous game it isn't a bug and you insult me? uhh ok......... it is still a bug

OK i guess there was a limited edition model in Japan........ but there was never one in america so the american versions of the 3000GT should be FF for the non turbo models

About the veyron. Do you consider the Nissan 350z an American car? It was designed in San Diego, California by Nissan Design USA

I insulted you. By quoting what you said to me. So, yeah.

uhh ok......... it is still a bug

Didn't say it wasn't.

About the veyron. Do you consider the Nissan 350z an American car? It was designed in San Diego, California by Nissan Design USA

If you want to classify cars by who styled them, then the original Volkswagen Golf (and Passat, and Scirocco) was an Italian car. So was the Lotus Esprit. And the BMW M1. And practically every Hyundai made in the 1980s. And the Subaru SVX. And the DeLorean. And the original Lexus GS. And the Saab 9000. And the Yugo. And that's just one design house.

It wasn't styling the entire car was designed here by a division of Nissan based in the US (because it was for the american market), it was even premiered at the Detroit auto show.

So if you consider the veyron french you should consider the 350z american.

So was the ZZT231 Toyota Celica, on all counts. So?

Sure, why not. I mean, sure, it is a car from a Japanese company with engineering work almost completely sourced from a JDM market car, but they designed it in America so whatever.
The end result is the same: It certainly isn't anywhere near objective enough to call it a glitch that needs to be fixed. Nor is the situation with the Veyron. Nor is the situation with the Lamborghini Gallardo. Or any number of cars designed in the past 15 years ever since automakers have made the transition to better support a global economy financial model.

i noticed a glitch when buying the lambo Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce. i bought the car in yellow and i really liked that the scoop on the sideskirt was black. but when i put the car in gt auto the scoop was yellow like the body color and when looking in my garage the small picture the scoop was also yellow there. but in the showroom it was black. and i cant remember for sure but i think when i clicked on the car in my own garage it was black again. they need to fix a lot of things.

oh and when driving the car the scoop is yellow too

they also never fixed the glitch w the clutch on the g25 wheel. if the tires are spinning and your not getting full traction you have to wait for the tires to catch again before it will let you put the car into the next gear. you know how frusterating that is when drifting? or when trying to hold a slide instead of overcorrecting during a race? and if you miss a gear you have to leave the clutch in for like a whole 2 seconds and leave the shifter in neutral also for those 2 seconds before it will allow the stick to go into gear.
another thing is when using the clutch during a race (such as a rally race, where the steering wheel needs to be turned back and forth way more than usual) if you accidently hit one of the "flappy paddle" shifters it will change gear for you. then when you go to put it in the next gear you miss it unless you granny shift. and even if your not using the clutch if you try to shift while the tires are spinning the auto trans will STILL wait untill you catch traction before it changes gear, at witch time the engine bogs out and now everyone is passing you. PLEASE PD FIX THE CLUTCH AND FULLY SUPPORT THE LOGITECH G25 and G27 WHEELS!!!!!

Race-Soft tires are far more effective in the rain than Rain tires apparently.

There should have been a separate subforum for this instead of one messy thread.

 

[MasterFocus]

standard cars dont have any backup light, anyone know this. BUT in a night track, get the rear end near a wall and put the car in reverse, voila!, you can see the wall illuminated by non working backup light!

 

[Ecchi-BANZAII!!]

You mean reverse lights?
I want to be able to turn of my lights all together in all cars during night so that I can do the Initial D thing with my AE86.But first they have to make the HUD and minimap toggle able from the hosts side so that people can't use the minimap at all.

This something I can get lightly frustrated about.
When you set your right analog to "look around" it only works when you look forward.
It work both backwards and forwards in GT5p so why not in GT5?

Also, I took a poo just a minute ago and that's why I am in this thread.
See the APEX book has bug/glitches as well.
Look at the pistons on page 91 and notice that the 4th piston is outside the engine block

Last night in an online race a racer got stuck/frozen while driving down the pits. Others would drive through him after briefly slowing.

This thread is useless if nobody logs everything in a big post

 

[zhunterzz]

Last night I did the Super GT event R246 30 Lap race and I didn't notice if it was right after pitting or if it was just half way through the race, but he was driving straight and in first, no problems but in cockpit view his steering wheel was being angled like the alignment was off. It was about 45 degrees tilted to the left. Funny thing though is that driving and cornering it still worked but whenever it returned to "center" it was still tilted to the left. Even right turns, the wheel only turned to what was true center then back to the new "center". Kinda weird. Thought i'd share.

 

[MmmmBeeeer]

I'm having freezing problems in the GT Life practice mode.

Driving a Miata, and loading a ghost replay from a FTO. Everytime the Ghost FTO crosses the finish line the game freezes.

I'm not reading through 30 pages to see if it was already posted, massive fail by the TS not keeping a running list.

 

[RacingManiac]

Not sure if it is a bug or if the actual car is like this. I bought a FC RX7 (Premium). The "game" tach shows the engine rev to 8-9 K. But the cockpit tach at redline the needle only goes to 6 and stop at the top of the tachometer, when 9 is at bottom right.

 

[Solid Lifters]

The refueling of F1 cars is a bit off. The refueler floats the refueling rig in mid air after the car lowers. He's in a full lean up against the car, yet he isn't touching it. Defies the laws of physics, it does.

(Already been mention) S13 Silvia P Tacho working like a speedo instead of a rev counter.

 

[Icarus25]

Has anyone noticed that the paint sort options in GT Auto when choosing a paint color are reversed? Ascending is descending and descending is ascending. I haven't been paying attention to this thread and didn't go through 30 pages to see if it was pointed out.
