Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Buglist

This is no thread for useless complaining or wishlists. This thread is for us to collect and share bugs found in the game and for Polyphony too, because they can't know all bugs of their game, they have little time to read whole forums and here they can be found in one place:

Bugs:


1. Game system bugs:

Quick Tune 100% Weight Bug - Game reverts back the original weight after race in quick tune settings, instantly recreatable with Ferrari California, as described in this thread

Online loading times too long - Loading times prolonging up to 20 minutes, widely discussed here

Citroen GT Concept & AT forcing - This issue was introduced by Spec III and after driving Citroen GT Concept, there is always automatic transmission option selected for next car in driving options after driving it, no matter that there was manual selected before..


2. Factual bugs, not corresponding with reality:

Mercedes SL55 AMG Instruments error in interior view - Rev counter issue.

Fuji Rumble Strip Bug - The rumble strip on the exit of turn 9 at Fuji doesnt make noise and feels like tarmac.

Aston Martin Gearing - Aston Martin DB9 has manual transmission, but gears are from automatic version.


3. Graphical engine bugs:

Graphical Glitch - Vector mess - once in a time, there are diagonally distorted vectors in interior view. But it's very rare.

Jerky Landscape Flow - This issue was introduced by Spec III Update. Easily recreatable bug. When driving Ferrari California or Lotus Evora through main straight of Fuji, there's jerky flow of surrounding landscape, but only in interior view and looking forward. In rear look and all other views, it's OK.

F2007 Graphical Glitch - The Ferrari F2007 color selections have a graphical error in some of the showroom views as reported by waggles.

Subaru Impreza Taillights - When driving a white Subaru Impreza WRX STi (the newer one) in the shadows, taillights are not showing up. Especially at London.

Reflections in interiors - I doubt this is a bug, it's rather some releasing of needed performance from graphical system to have common reflection, same on cars and same on interiors glossy things. Graphical system can have more power to other things then. But yes, that's something not seen in reality when you see the road running in the glossy centre of Ford GT steering wheel and it has been mentioned in buglist, so it's here.


4. Sound subsystem bugs:

Sound Glitch - The game is playing crash sounds while no crash occured. Maybe if the sound is not sounding when it may have, then lately the sound occurs from nowhere. Widely discussed here: here

Chorus Sound Effect - In the replay of the Fuji Circuit races, there's some strange reverb effect in the last turn before final straight after few laps.


5. Controller / wheel bugs:

Driving Force Pro GT Bug - "I can't hold down the directional button to slide through the options, I can only button mash through" as reported by turbomp301 further in this thread.

Comments are welcomed, I'll be completing this post as they come.

Look mate not to sound rude but i think Polyphony know about their own game and their bugs, I'm sure when the next small update comes about it will fix these errors it may even happen in the fall update but i dont like the idea of people making threads about bugs in the game. My opinion of course.

 

[Patrik]

Maybe they even left the bugs on purpose because it's Prologue..

 

[RedBaron]

What? I don't think they know all of them and know all concrete situations when bugs are occuring and how to map and remove them. Why in GT4 final build on Nürburgring cars were constantly bouncing track sidewall during arriving to start line through last corner? Because they just didn't take note of that. Numerous nonsence wishlists are OK and this thread is bad? I bet when you'll see some bugs omitted through all past builds resolved in Spec IV, it could be just because this thread.

OMG, I'll die of laughter

I this a comment good enough to be listed above?

Hey, Amar, numerous wishlist aren't to laughter and buglist is? I don't know then

I found many bugs, but they are nesting on page 27 of any totally off topic thread, so I think the buglist can be useful.

 

[Marky264]

This is ridiculas, Gran Turismo Prologue Is a BETA For PD, You cannot compare bugs from a Playstation 2 Game where PD Had limits to abide by they cannot get everything out of the game. Name one game that doesnt have a bug? It's ridiculas to make a thread about it.

 

[patriotzero]

Yeah Gt5p beta of gt5 full version so i don't think dedicated servers will come out for This Beta...Friend List coming for sure

 

[II IVORBIGUN II]

Name one game that doesnt have a bug? It's ridiculas to make a thread about it.

Sorry but I find some of the comments on this thread ridiculous. All RedBaron has done is make a thread which consists of all the known bugs in Prologue which would make it easier for PD to find instead of having to scan through various threads.

Im sure PD would appreciate this thread!

 

[homeforsummer]

Citroen GT Concept & AT forcing - This issue was introduced by Spec III and after driving Citroen GT Concept, there is always automatic transmission option selected in driving options.

Could, perhaps, you be forced to use auto transmission because the car is electric and doesn't have a gearbox, rather than it being a "bug"?... and if you're referring to using cars afterwards and having to change your settings back to manual transmission... well it's not that big of a deal to change a single menu option, is it?

 

[Marky264]

well imo this thread isnt really going to help anyone but causing people to complain about Prologue as for little bugs that your talking about it's more of being arsed to change the settings.

 

[Womble]

Just another Bug, the Ferrari Cal. reverts back to default weight which throws the PP value out of whack. I haven't driven anything else to notice if its happening with all the cars or not.

Speaking as a software developer, if you want this thread to be helpful for PD (if they actually read anything) then put exactly (as in simple step by step) how to recreate the bug, otherwise there's very little point at all just reporting it.

Now obviously this is difficult for the sound glitch, but for the GT by Citreon AT problem, it shouldn't be too hard. If PD can read this and then recreate the issue, it will probably take no time to fix. If they have to spend hours driving under the bridge at Suzuka trying to figure out exactly what combination of events causes a problem, it's going to be a real pain in the arse. Now fine, that's their job, but like I said, if you really want to help them...

To Marky, if PD do actually read forums, then there's absolutely nothing wrong with this thread at all, if it helps them recreate bugs, then I'm utterly confident KY would want them sorted. The man is a perfectionist, and fine, changing the transmission back to MT after you've driven the Citreon is hardly an ordeal, but by the same token, it's messy, and I don't believe KY likes his games to appear messy...

Also, as you said, it's a beta. The entire point of a beta is to get user feedback and find bugs to fix before it's properly released.

Theres a loading bug in general... sometimes when i start the arcade mode or an challenge it loads very fast... and sometimes i only get a black screen for more than a minute and the HDD led doesn´t blink(is that the right word? im from germany )... and then after a minute it starts to load... and the saving times are very long,that sucks too...

I think part of the point of prologue is to find bugs and game issues as well as being a demo.
And know developer will ever know all the bugs in there own game,thats what betas are for,which prologue is bassically.
The 40 testers(or whatever number of people polyphony have) will never find what 100,000's people will find playing the game hours on end.
So yea this thread is needed if polyphony are interested.

 

[dark_ruffo]

LOL at the bump sound glitch.

I was runining in Daytona with the new Citroen going at 350kph+ and then that sound came out of nowhere, and a friend asked me, what was that? Dunno, I guess I just broke the sound barrier. I laughed so hard XD

And besides that, it'll help every player who isn't yet aware of these bugs. It's nice to have a list of bugs, just so you know that what you've experienced is a bug and not a wrong setting or something like that.
And no harm is done with this thread, is there?

edit: 'bug' is a weird word when you use it too much.... bug bug bug bug bug bug bug

 

[profi]

What is a forum useful for ?

I am sure PD employees do read through these forums and I am also sure they want to fix bugs as they get notice of them.

People say GT5 Prologue is just a beta.. what do they think PD is going to do with it after its done, do you think they put it away and start new all over for GT5 full ? GT5 Prologue is in fact GT5 full version at an early stage and they are interested in sorting out ALL of the bugs.

This number of players do see more than even 1000 employees of PD.

 

[Marky264]

I just hope they do read our feedback on here and are aware of the site it be very cool to get mentioned by PD be great for the sites publicity, I hope they do read out feedback but then again i still am sure that they are aware of certain things still in the game that they havent fixed. I have full trust in PD that they will defo sort out the minor issues it's a matter of time and testing , If you are reading this who are from the PD team keep up the good work and cant wiat for the fall update!

Well said could'nt agree with you more.

 

[RedBaron]

Once in a few days I'll try all reported bugs by myself and when I will be able to recreate it, I write about it and I append a little guide to recreate it. Please report them comprehensive way, the more you describe about recreating bug, the less work for me an the more actual this thread will be. Thanks for all constructive criticism, even sarkastic. It's nice to read positive things about this thread.

It's a Good Thread..

PD Is reading our forum Thats a Fact, they have said it in the blocks and other places

---Bug 1---

The level 3 penalty system isn't working right on the online Daytona road track in the Cikane on the longest side. (Looking like this) ___/--------\___.
" More Happy times for morons "

People can cross the inside corners on the grass, and still move on with out a penalty..." Car used F1 2007 "

--Bug 2/bad choice--
Ferrari califonia, Nice Car but also annoying, I want to be able to have the choice of having the top ON or OFF.. ( must look better with it on, and the speed should be faster )

---BUG 3 or BUFF---

To spend so much time on creating a Wheel that is to be the ultimate wheel to use in GT5 and still!!

1. No Horn is sounding when pushing the Horn button..

2. There should be shortcuts on the wheel, for the main menu..

3. Race gear shifters is To small, for this 900 degrees wheel, almost impossible to hit the gearshifters correctly when your arms are twisted..

Otherwise I love the GT creation, Arghh I do have several ideas that could have made it even better, but that's another matter..

And ya, is it really a bug NO!! just more settings features needed..

--- BuG 4 ---

Why having any kind of penalty on the Freerun ( preparing for online race) It's just stuppid to be annoid by, and really not needed, freerun is for testing the Track and the setting's, not for testing the penalties, everybody knows about what is the right way to drive, and what is not. so please remove it...

EX: Next lap will be invalid WHAT!! Who cares ...)


My honest Opinion friends...
Flagmo-T..

 

[kekke2000]

I did a little test on the Online Loading bug...

I startet a stopwatch, then i went into my living room and turned on my ps3, changed the disc to Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Started the game and went into the Online mode. I did my choice, the Ferrari @ Suzuka race. I picked a Ferrari F430 and made it into the race menu. I setup my car to fit the restrictions with some small adjustments. I pressed the button to start the race and it started to connect. I ended up on a server with 10 racers. Right when the lights switched to green with my car already revved up, i stopped the stopwatch.

My time: 4 min 16.5 sec

OK, first... If you're going to call something ridiculous, at least spell it right.

And second, Prologue is NOT a beta! I never agreed to be part of a beta program, and I paid for this product.

And if it WAS a beta then the whole reason for a beta is to FIND BUGS.

I know you hate it when anybody says anything remotely negative about this product, but ferkrisesakes people have a right to state their own opinions, even if that opinion doesn't happen to agree with yours.

 

[The-BNA]

Here's one you can add:

Interior reflections reflect the outside environment. You can experience this in all cars with a reflective bit of interior while running along a line - for example the yellow lines at daytona oval.

Oh, and weight always defaults back to 100% after a race. There's a thread about that.

Absolutely brilliant! Very funny.
