GT4 Bugs

LOL i wouldnt call it a bug but more of a funny glitch, if u do any race where u have to pit in on high speed ring (formula gt is perfect for this) then when the computer pit in go round a little past the pit entrance and on the left near the straight ull see some cones blockin entrance to the pits, now go over them and drive down the pits. It wont slow u down and u can drive through the cars while they are pitting in lol. I think they should of just put a wall up instead of cones.

I agree that the in-car sound of the Ruf is disappointing, I suspect it has something to do with the engine being in the wrong place.
Well, Letsby is partially correct. From my understanding, the camera is placed well ahead of the engine, which has to be heard through sound deadener and the like, not to mention the exhaust is routed cleanly through the back. It is not only on the YB, but also the FIAT 500R, the Alpines, The Delorean, the Subie 360, ect. At least this is what I draw from it....I could also be a complete moron... :dopey:

AAAHH!! Got this exact same problem! Lost 36 cars and now i'm left with 2 TVR Cebera's. I was sooo far as well. ****. Waht the hell is this about anyway! Sort it out Polophony Digital. Checked diary as well and no sign of my cars disappearing. Bit dodgy for a game like GT4 don't ya think?

Did you try to backup your save on another memory card, by any chance?
 
Been playing in Prog Scan (on my US copy) and I've noticed during the Cathedral Rocks Rally (either long or short) part of the pic "lags" behind, that's to say the top half of the screen changes a tad slower than the bottom. It only ever happens on this rally so I guess the display is pushing the PS2 to its limits. Apart from that no probs.
Oh and it's the LSD screen that has the writing partially obscured in the US copy.
 
Oh, I forgot about this...

Tahiti Maze. During the final downhill hairpins, watch the screen closely as you progress through the second one. The church... it disappears! In front of your very eyes!

Proof that David Copperfield lives in Tahiti.
 
Has anyone else bought the spoon s2000 race car?

the text at the bottom of the screen (and the sell info) say 310 hp @ 11000 rpm. however the tach stops at 9000 on the in car. so, i checked the hp/torque curves, and sure enough, they go to 11000, but the chart stops at 9000.

👎 👎 👎 to PD for messing up this car.

you can tell that it really needs the extra 2000 revs because it is just starting to comealive when you hit the rev limiter.
 
i dont like the AI. i was taking the Inside line around a corner at seattle and it just shoves me deliberately out of the way

and the way the CPU cars dont get penalties but i do for tapping him :(
 
I apologize if this has been mentioned....i just don't have time to look right now and want to throw it out there...

I was playing a time trail at laguna seca last night in arcade and noticed i couldn't get a ghost car to come up when i was driving the GTR prototype LM race car. I don't recall if it was only laguna, but i think it was. Also, only in that car. I could ghosts to come up of every other car i tried.

So, if anyone with that car could give it a try and let me know if they can get a ghost to appear with that car at laguna seca, I would appreciate it.
 
Im not sure if it has been mentioned but the rear view mirror seems to be messed up. Only cars, road and sky show up. Sometimes theres a couple of buildings trees here and there but most of them don't show up.

I don't like that. In tight corners they just turn into you and you get a penalty. And on the straight-away, sometimes they slowly push you off the racing line onto the grass so when to try and take the corner, you spin. :grumpy:
 
if you notice where you go into world circuits under suzuka circuit west course...where it would normally tell you a little bit about the course (above the course picture) it says this

very interesting...

Are you using the PAL or NTSC version? And where do u live because in my Australian PAL version that bug does not occur. Normally it means that the code they used to display the course information didn't have a closing tag so it shows the code instead.
 
Heh. 19 pages of whining, moaning and *****ing, and apart from a few graphical glitches, not a single real bug to be seen. You poor babies, your life must be SO hard. :)
 
Not played the Japanese version then, I guess?

Set your "posts per page" to 100 and it's only 4 pages of whining, moaning and *****ing.
 
With the DS2 controller you can get the L2, R2 buttons mixed up. L2 is to shift down and R2 is to shift up.

If you hold down the R2 button while driving, you can use L2 to shift up. If you hold down the L2 button you can use the R2 button to shift down.
 
I remember GT 2 had a bug that wiped out your entire garage. That was a fun one.

i hated that one i was tuning my skyline then switched of the ps and i lost all my data! not just my garagrge everything! you have to goto home then switch of ur ps.

there is also a little gear glitch in gt3 and gt4.

put the final gear as high as possible. then put the auto setting as high as possible. then put the final gear as low as possible and u get super far gears! or the other way round.
 
Well, I have finally found a real A class bug and have reported it to Sony. They told me they will fix it as well as a few B and C class bugs that have been brought to their attention.

The bug I found is that when using any NSX-R street car enter into the Vegas Drag Strip with simulation or sport tires equiped and then go to settings and switch to Racing Soft tires only and on both the front and rear only, then after you do the race and exit the race the game crashes. If you vary the tires at all it won't happen. If you enter into the race with soft racing tires already equiped it won't happen. Pretty serious bug, but thank god it's a fairly specific situation.
 
I don't mind about the graphical glitches and minor bugs but theres this one thing that has pretty much destroyed the joy of playing for me. It's "The Controller Issue"

Why, oh god please tell WHY you can not disable the accelerate/brake funtion from right analog? No matter how I do the controller setting, the right analog accelerates and brakes. Even with no commands at all attached to it in the controller setting menu the damn thing can not be disabled. And best of all, it overrides the thottle commands by any other throttle button.

This is REALLY annoying because I use the right analog to steer and left as a throttle/brake. Imagine this:

Going into long, fast curve accelerating as you go, you accidentally turn the analog just a little bit up as well as to side (to steer). The acceleration stops as the "slight acceleration" command from right analog overrides the "full throttle" command from the left.
Ok, same situation but instead of up, you tilt the analog just little bit down. It will start braking. Nice.

Or another scenario:
You approach a sharp turn at 300kph. You hit the brakes and begin to steer to the curve. Again, you tilt slightly downwards. Instead of full braking, you get maybe 5-10% of braking power. You can all imagine what happens next...

And when these things happen several times PER LAP, it's quite ******* frustrating. **** this ****.


I don't know what do to about this matter. Maybe I should rewire the controller to think left analog is right and vice versa...
 
I'm not sure why this happens, but at random points at the beginning of a race the car will pull to the right until I come up to the first turn and do some braking.
 
Two 100% Glitches. One for PAL, the other for US/NTSC.

First (PAL): No matter how many times you complete the Audi TT races, they never count as % or golds. You get the car, you get the money, but it refuses to give % or gold cups. How this glitch happens? Please someone help me find out!

Second (NTSC): If you do any Driving Missions other than the Driving Mission no. 1 first, it will not count as you passing Mission 1. If it does count (sometimes does), it will remove the "PASSED" branding over it when you are nearing 100%. This has been confirmed by many NTSC US users on other boards, and some people on my MSN also had this issue.

I'm not too worried about the second because there is a prevention for it. However, the first one is worrying me as I've seen 3 people mention it happening. It appears to be similar to the NTSC Mission glitch, but in a different area.

Anyone experienced these?

I'm gonna have to try the audi TT races tonight now, does that mean its not possible to get 100% in PAL then. or is it that the series / races just doesn't count towards the 100%
 
I have the gold cups for the Audi races, but no % and it will not let me clear to redo, but I still get prizes and cars on re-runs.

I have just updated y AR MAX codelist and I am going to see if setting the Audi races as complete will sort it.

fwiw I started on a new thread on this topic arlier today, but it probably hasn't got past the moderators yet. I have also seen the problem mentioned elsewhere.

Steven
 
hehe. Sorry Steven. I wasn't sure if I should do a topic, or post here as a search returned nothing.

Thanks for confirming this though. We all need to find a way to prevent this happening. I don't think it happens with ALL people, but it seems a certain amount do. I'm only about 26% in to the game, but I'll back up my mem card save, and see if I can make it count % for it, and if it does, see if I can make it NOT count %.

But, yes. This deserves a topic of its own.

So we can't get 100 % in PAL GT4??
