They fixed the issue some of us where having running Spa/weather change in arcade. Textures didn't load so you where literally driving on thin air with no clue where the road was.

Happy it was just a bug. I was starting to think my instalation was going pear shaped.
 
I just updated, and now the console completely freezes every time the ghost replay crosses the finishing line-( seasonal time trial Rome reverse) anyone else getting this?

That happened to me last week.
 
Has anyone noticed that if you haven't purchased the DLC tracks you can no longer drive/race on them online. You can enter the lobby but you can't get on the track.
 
I miss the exaggerated wobble, but is the camera set back to what it was originally? They said they reduced the wobble, but it feels like they removed it entirely.

+1
it's the old one again and I hate the old chasecam which is the new one again now...
It's already super boring due the very narrow FOV = sense of speed killer.
But now even the wobble is gone.. I started to like it but now it's killed for me again :ouch:
 
I just saw this message posted by PD:

Regarding an Issue Found in Online Races

Feb 07, 2012

A problem has been found in the 2.04 update released on February 7, where players sometimes do not receive experience and rewards after an online race in the open lobby or the lounge.

We are currently investigating the issue and are working to correct the problem. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and ask for your understanding.
 
There has never been a draft in free run, only race conditions. This keeps people from getting an unfair drafting boost during qualifying.

There should be option to turn it on or off though, just like penalties for free run.
 
Hey guys.

I'm running in my lounge doing a bug test and noticed when people go off track they remain on the leaderboard, in correct positions... is this a glitch or maybe a new feature?

Yeah that wasn't the only track i had a problem with but that was after the 2.02 update... I was in a drift comp at SSR5 and my 1st and 2nd run parts of the track were missing.. It was the left hand turn, 2 turns after the tunnel going the normal way... Later in the week i saw the same thing on the cape ring going around the big ring... Wish i had my camera at the time because i could see 3 of my friends underneath me... I fixed that by deleting my game data and copied my save to a usb then deleting it... Then reinstalled everything then put my save back on.

It's too bad the drafting doesn't work in Free Run but if it did then we would need a 2 lap Qualify mode as well.

There are times where I'd like to only test my car in the draft without having to run a race.
 
I read update tweaked Logitech wheels and now my good 'ol Driving Force Pro feels bit terrible when braking from highspeed.

There feels deadzone middle of wheel and nothing happens but when it gets grip, it does it suddenly and cause losing control of car.

I have never before lost control of my car in Lemans Porsche Curves, but now I spun there all the time (Aston Martin V12 Vantage).

I was afraid of this... the lack of feedback is going to cause you to turn too much then possibly over-correct if your reactions are fast enough coming back. I'm gonna try the F10 on Monaco today since that's a track where splitsecond steering snaps are constantly happening.
 
I don't mind being able to delete the DLC cars as long as I can still buy them from the dealership.
 
I am baffled why any one would want to get rid of DLC cars. It's not like they take up any real space.


Me neither. For a year people complained that we didn't have DLC, now they complain that they can't get rid of DLC. :confused: I have hundreds of cars in my garage and have never deleted or "sold" a single one.

Me too i keep all of my cars constantly painting or cruising or tuning them for drift. But on occasion i might be in a drift comp and get so mad at the car for messing my run up (blame the car ha ha ha)
I will leave the room with my friends and tell them say bye bye to this car going to sell it and buy another one... My current drift car is 2 million, and i have done this 3 times to this car already but the last month or two has been good.

Because some people like to "replace" the DLC car that may have a lot of miles with a fresh one in the dealership. It is a collector thing, honestly.

WTF! What's so awsome about them fixing bugs that should never have been there in the first place? 12 months down the line and a team of 100 people at PD are still finding bugs? Sorry but I don't get it!

The fact is this! If people weren't daft enough to buy the DLC then kazanouri and his team if monkeys would be spending more time actually fixing the game rather than making you pay for 10 new NISSANS and a while bunch of pointless sh#t!

Has anyone who plays GT5 ever thought to himself (or herself) "ohh I wish I had a Toyota prius in my garage"????

No! Exactly!

Yes i have have because there fun cars to race online, if your just messing around. Its nice having a mix of supercars, hot hatches and slow bad cars. Plus the racing cars are good for series racers. Stop moaning, PD has created a greatbase for GT6 so shut u p, enjoy the game

I like the cut of your Jib young man. 8^)

Why are they still finding bugs/glitches after over a year since release?

Some of them bug fixes are hysterical though, gotta admit that.
 
The wind noise is louder on the roof cam.. God I hate it, I honestly have no clue why they keep making it even louder..
 
Re the Formula car fix, I read that part of the notice with much trepidation because I thought the F2007 and F10 were just about perfect following the patch that fixed the F10's front-end washout problem. I use a DFGT with fairly low FF settings (dialed down to a 3 or 4, if memory serves). Impressions with 2.04:

Red Bulls: They were undriveable before because of the high-speed wobble. There's less wobble now and what there is seems to be induced by proximity to another RB's wash. I tested with a 1-lap practice race around Special Stage X.

F2007: Pretty much my favorite car in the game, straight out of the box. The FF was previously very firm, giving the impression of tremendous downforce, but there'd been none of the RB-like wobble. Post 2.04, the FF isn't quite as strong but I didn't find the change objectionable. Tested with a 5-lap practice race around Monza, lap times came down very quickly.

F10: Undriveable until a previous patch fixed a problem with a FF rattle that seemed associated with the front end washing out. That patch made it a usable car but there were occasionally still hints of the rattle. Post 2.04, that's gone and I was able to lap Monza quicker than in the F2007 in the same sort of 5-lap practice race.

FGT: Until now this had been up there with the Audi R10 as perhaps the most undriveable non-bugged car in the game, as unlike the F2007 and F10 it'd seemed to have no downforce-type feel at all. Good news in 2.04 is that there's some there now. It's not quite as strong as the F10's but the car is a lot more communicative than before. I'd feel confident taking on the FGT series in A Spec with this new model. Tested with a 5-lapper at Monza.
 
To the posts stating that the dynamic chase is gone... its not... I rolled my car (on purpose) on Trial Mountain (easy track to roll on that final hill/corner) and the camera rolled too.

The dynamic is still there and I personally like chase again. Its usable for those that loved the original chase and it still does have a bit of dynamic movement but it isnt as drastic so I dont get sick playing in that view anymore.

Again, the dynamic aspect IS still there, but its toned down A LOT! 👍

Finally we can delete the DLC cars. I have wanted to replace a few already but refused to buy another one because I didnt want to waste the garage space.

This was an unexpected, pleasant surprise to start the game up with today :D

DLC cars are added content you paid for, you didn't pay for each individual car (first DLC we initially did though) and since they now can be bought in the dealerships I'm glad they can now finally be treated like any other car in the game.
Reasons? Replacement perhaps for some if they have permanent powerloss, or when some fitted irreversible tuning parts they regret.
Or how about just wanting to buy a DLC car for a specific paintchip only and then dispose of it as some don't need or want another example of that car.
There are probably a lot more either relevant or trivial and no doubt OCD-inspired reasons why and I'm glad I can do whatever I want with the stuff I paid for.
