I haven't seen any complaints regarding the race going into slow motion on PS3 so maybe it's just my system. At any rate, on several tracks there are points during the race which go into slow motion. I did a 5 lap race a Laguna Seca in the final tier and the actual race took almost 5 minutes longer to complete in real time than game time.

As a side note it is easier to drive in slow motion as you have plenty of time to get the line right thru the corner. LOL

By the way this became much worse after the patch.

It's not just you. I have experienced this many times as well. Especially on the Laguna Seca, that seems to be the track where it happens the most. I think a few other people have seen this slow motion issue as well.
 
For some reason, in Spa GP, my car(Works Murcielago) won't go as fast on the first straight when running with ore than 3 cars as it would when running alone. Is this a bug/glitch or what? :( The car usually hits 175-180MPH in the straight, but when running with cars(drafting and everything) it would at most manage to hit 155MPH.
 
I am having similar slowdown issues too on races and I am using a PS3 also.

I was playing career and later on-line earlier today without any issues for several races (close to 20). I then had a race with my tuned GTR that experienced the bounces and it was pretty much un-driveable on the track but I chalked that up to the known issues of tuned cars. After that race I tried a couple of on-line unlimited races with my Zonda R but they were unplayable due to slowdown and stuttering of the race however it appeared that the other participants were not having the issue. I exited on-line and tried the manufacturers race at Tier 4 with the Mercedes vs. GT2 and I was having the same slowdown and stuttering problems. After that I quit the game and exited back to the PS3 console menu.

I started the game again a half-hour or so later and did the exact same manufacturers race again. This time it ran without any issue. Is anyone else having a problem that is then resolved after they exit the game and re-enter? If so it seems like a memory leak issue or similar in the code.
 
glitch. Quite frequently while in the tuning menu the values either want to go full left or full right. restart fixes it until it appears next time.

There is a massive glitch in the PS3 version at least where the game slows down so it feels like you are driving in slow motion whenever you go through the kink all the way down to canada corner at road america.

Same here. It is EXTREMELY annoying. :mad::mad::mad::mad:🤬

*Doing Tier 4 Works race ; Last series of race*
 
Another glitch to add: In driver duel even if you win the race, while the menu tries to load to show you who won, if the car that was second (now driven by the AI) passes you, you will lose.

These bugs are rediculous. I have suffered from at least 10 some of which I have reported and others which have already been posted. I for one won't be keeping this game and will be going back to SCC to be my driving filler till GT5.
 
'Nother glitch:

While doing the figure 8 enduro, I came to the crossing point where cars are just flying past me, one of them goes THROUGH me. Not over, not around, STRAIGHT THOUGH, like prune juice.

get a 360 and Forza 3. It´s the only console racing game that have any realistic chance to hold 4 month or more ;)

Can't get a Fanatec here so Forza is out of the question. The MS wheel is rubbish. There's a few other reasons too but they are just reasons against the xbox in general. Either way I play lots of different games so I'm sure I can get through 5 months till GT5 is out. After all I should be concentrating on University lol.
 
Not bug, but a request:

Quote from http://www.lensoftruth.com/?p=15133

Why are developers still using quincunx antialiasing on the ps3? It almost always ends up looking like crap. I know its easier then implementing true MSAA, but it makes a huge difference. Ghostbusters and Bioshock for ps3 had patches that switched from QAA to MSAA, so obviously some developers understand that QAA is unacceptable.

Any game that uses QAA should at least have an option to turn it off. I would rather have no AA then QAA.

I think this is probably the biggest issue with ports to the ps3, and sony needs to address this by releasing better developer tools to help more developers use MSAA in their games.

And please remove the copy protection from PS3 savegames.

Not sure if this is a bug/glitch, but when automatic clutch is set to OFF, i can still change gears without using the clutch on the G25. Has anyone else had this problem? I know on GT5P i have to press a button on the gear shifter, but the same button does not work on NFSS - it just makes you look behind the car.

PJ.
 
PS3 - steering wheel puts game play in slow motion. Using the Logitech Driving Force GT for PS3 makes the game play lag, a lot. (Not talking about in car view steering wheel not responding as quick). Its like racing in slow motion around turns, but the Lap Timer stays at the same pace. I was trying to beat a time to get a star on a track with a lot of lag. I was making near perfect runs and I was still 10 seconds slow. I then switch to a controller and on my first lap (starting from a stop) I beat the lap time with time to spare. There is a lot of slow motion (lagging) effect when using a steering wheel but not a controller. I'm just trying to get the most out of my racing sim by using a wheel, so please fix this issue.

This I quoted from another guy over the official forums at NFS:Shift. I was like no way, but then it happened to me. I tried and would you believe it that it really didn't do the samething again?!?? Wow, how is that possible. Thoughts??
 
murcielago works have botched top speed. 270 km/h can´t be max with no wing when it has maxed out top speed ratings?

Compare to the Zonda R which with 50 % wing makes over 300 km/h easilly at SPA
 
Alright so, my 1st 3 cars (135i, GT500, & RX7) are having problems. Similiar to identity crisis, starting with the GT500, I changed the paint so the previous vinyls are gone (GT500 Stripes & such) so I tried to put them back on. Now, thats normal, but NOW having it appear on my first cars? WTF?! I changed the color to my 135i & now the same other 2 cars are the same color as my 135i!

NFSS goes off-road.

How long did you own an MS wheel before you made that decision? The wheel works great with FM3. The force feedback is much improved over FM2 (and FM2's feedback was pretty darn good.

That pic of the track above is actually pretty realistic. Neglected tracks actually do have grass and weeds growing up through them :)
 
ms wheel is rubbish. It´s clear from the first time you take your hands on it if you ever hold in any decent PC wheel. There is many 5 year old PC wheels that where better then that :(

This suggests what others have said, that Shift shares the user settings for your current car with other/all cars including vinyls and suspension settings etc. It is a major, major programming error if true and suggest there was little testing because EA wanted it out before Forza 3. That's the problem with shift, it's just not finished. We really should only have paid half-price as the game is evidently only half finished.

Have to disagree with your opinion big time. I am loving every second of it. Maybe you should bring yours out of storage and give it a whirl again.
 
Since the patch I'm not able to do perfect launches. I did it fairly often easy before, but not once I got a perfect launch after the patch... really starting to bug me!

Anyone have this, too? *

* having none of all those other described glitches after the patch... so I'm a lil confused about tbh :sly:

what wheels do you have experience with other then the MS wheel? I am not trying to make you dislike it I can say it´s the best wheel currently available on the 360 lol

I don´t have it I sold it and got a cheapish Drive FX. That is worse but it cost me virtually nothing in comparison lol. Turbo S on it´s way soon hopefully won´t touch Forza 3 until I get that.

Try to hold brake & throttle to see if you get green light.
 
Ran into a a BIG bug today.. I think i caught whisper of it elsewhere.

Buy the Corvette Z06, quick race round the ring, ready, steady, go.... car goes nowhere. it revs, and goes into gear, just doesn't leave the start line.
I sold and bought again, same deal.

It's a known bug, I had only once in one of the driver duels. I think I read here that you can cure that with tuning the gears or just anything else on your bought corvette.

Not sure if that helps, I get a green light, but no perfect start anymore. I'll try with holding brake though. 👍

Just restart the race. Your car will work.

I have pretty much used every wheel on consoles and PC. By no means is it the best, and I am was never claiming it was. I just said it's not garbage as was just claimed, and for the price, it's excellent.
