NFS: Shift - Bug/glitch thread

[jswilli1]

I wanted to post a quick message to thanks everyone for posting this issue list. I'm the global community lead for Need for Speed and I'm currently collating a list of issue for the game teams to review so this thread has been very useful and all the issues raised here will be highlighted to the team

There is a Title Update coming out this week for PS3 which fixes about 25 issues (including PS3 damage levels and phantom flag girls). I'll post the full list when I have it.

NO not the Phantom flag girls, I enjoy seeing them in the backseat of my Shelby GT 500

Again, thanks for taking time to look into other communities besides your own. 👍 I am glad the game teams will at least be aware of our findings. Also, don't hesitate to post here if things need clarifying. We're a helpful lot.

This is very good news... Exactly what I was waiting for... A game with so much potential shouldnt have so many bugs.... Thanks for the update! Hoping to see that patch soon.

Just thought I'd post this....

It seems that two cars now occupy one grid spot. I started a quick race with three opponents and two of them started right on top of another car! I really can't explain this, it just happened right out of the blue. Is anyone else experiencing this?

NLxAROSA,

Could you add my issue to the list please 👍

Any body had problems playing online games while using a bluetooth headset?

Whenever we race online with the headsets, one of us will have the issue of not being able to see the other persons car, and none of the car details will show e.g dashboard speedo etc.

We've even had it where the view from the cockpit has switched to a birdseye view of the track and this is where you are supposed to race from, like you are sat in a helicopter over the track.

Another glitch to write home about:
I was in online driver duels and won 2 races in a row, but then it said the other guy won one, which gave him the chance to ram me off track in the 3rd race.

 

[LR-PR-ProtoX]

Just completed level 10 and won the Falken Mustang GT, can't find it anywhere? I checked quick race and no joy, not even a rewards car section. Not in the car lot or my cars either.

For some reason it will only appear if you are in quick race and make sure that. You have selected drift race. You should see the car as an option for the reward cars. Hope that helps.

Thought I might aswell bring this over to the Bug / Glitch thread:

Thanks, will give it a shot. Kinda crazy the way they have the menu's setup? 👍

***Update*** It worked, I went into Quick Race to set it up and the Reward Cars were there. Thanks....

Corvette C6/ Donington National race/ Car battle C6 vs GT3 RS --- Car doesn't move off the line and stats show HP as 701--- After resetting the box stats are now back to normal but the car still doesn't move

I got the same with the SRT 10 in the GT40 vs SRT 10 duel. Is there anyway to fix this other then run the GT 40?

PC Demo - Game wont start after the EA Logo.

 

[CCX]

Playstation 3 - started the Tier 2 London Drift Event (In BMW M3 E36), and it finished even before the grid animation had started. I automatically scored zero.

 

[J-PaP]

V1.01 is out now. It fixes the damage. My Zonda is bouncing worse than before now I think.

 

[benzoboy]

Just thought I'd add that I'm also having the replay glitch, where you can't exit, on the 360 version too. Are there any fixes?

 

[Nicko]

I was online in a time attack event recently and was under the impression that when the countdown timer reaches zero that signifies the last lap. Well it obviously doesn't in an online event. Because the timer reached zero during a lap and the race automatically finished! Is this correct when racing in an online time attack event or is it just a plain ol' bug?

 

[RouWa]

Something odd happend to me yesterday. It's not a bug, but it's bad game design.

I was playing the final championship (NFS world tour). Before the last race I was overall second, six points behind the leading CPU car. I decided to take out my rival dirty to win the GP. I succeded and finished second (10 points). My rival finished 15th (0 points). I should have won the championship by 4 points. But not in NFSS, because the game decided to give my rival 12 points for winning. In NFSS the actual placing of the CPU cars is not relevant for their championship points. The game distributes points by its own. It is probably a measurement to prevent winning dirty, but it still sucks.

Makes sense. Stops people from been jerks and not finishing the final lap

I've had the same Nick, I think its the way the online time attack works.

 

[Nicko]

Thanks for the replies guys, I understand why now. 👍

 

[oqvist]

who is stealing my price cars?

I run the career and I get the message sometimes when you level up that you win the audi r8 lms for erxample? But I never get it to show in my garage and or the other car I had supposedly won a long time ago???. It´s not even in the car lot page.

I know there is also supposed to be some datsun where is that??????

The prize cars such as the Audi R8 LMS are not available for use in the career mode or available from the car lot. You can only use them in quick race mode.

"T-Squared:
My S15 is having an idenitey crisis. It can't decide what color it wants to be!"

I had this also with my Mazda RX8 it switched between preset liveries and normal plain paint within series races. I got it back to normal by going into paint selection i think and it appeared back to normal.

I have another Replay glitch to add to the list. It is where in a replay your car is seen moving whilst all AI cars are stopped on the track and your car drives through them. Suddenly the AI cars start moving again at the speed they should be moving I will post a video as soon as i can.

 

[oqvist]

Thanks... btw how do you win the datsun?

 

[DGiant2000]

It's in tier 1, listed as a Nissan though

I too have seen this on replays.
My car has also (in the same replay) stopped moving on the track yet the wheels were still spinning.
It was a replay that I did not start after a complete race but from a race I was backing out of but decided to watch the replay from the stopped location and rewound the replay.
I also remember seeing my car hit a stopped AI car and sending the AI off the track. It was at Spa in a Porsche.

I'd call it stopped AI in a replay.
I use the PS3.

 

[oqvist]

Got another problem now. The game crashes to desktop directly at the start of a race. I have tried reinstall my video card drivers, the game itself, different cars etc but it will just not work anymore? Anyone experienced this?

edit: it´s already on the list I see . Fixed by changing shadow settings.

 

[JAGUAR1977]

If you tune a cars engine to produce more power than stock, the game then uses this tuned figure stat for the stock car, even though the actual power is unchanged.

I.e the stock Ford Escort RS Cosworth produces something like 220bhp, tune it to 330bhp+ and this figure is listed as the power output for the 'stock' Ford Escort RS Cosworth.

 

[richmcveigh]

The stock S2000 isn't quite right. I own one in real life, and you will not be doing more than 65mph in 2nd gear, whereas the game will take you upto 75mph, and also in real life, when you're accelerating hard from low revs, there is so much more of a kick when you eventually get into the 'vtec'!! (that's not necessarily a bug though...)

Also, in real life you can easily change the speedometer to display kph or mph - they should make it changeable in the game - surely not too hard to do. Actually, this is a bug - when you have it set to mph in the game, the speedometer will read in mph, but 'kph' is highlighted next to the reading on the right when using the bumper and bonnet views.
