The Bugs & Glitches Thread (New OP)

[Dekropttiv]

First off, sorry if this has been posted. I looked around but didn't see any post of it.

So I bought a 240sx S14 '96 today in Green Pearl. Went to go paint it and, well, all the colors were a color shift-ish style, no matter what category/color. It seems to be a mix of white and whatever color you choose. Painted it and it stayed that style. Went back and it still happens. Bought another S14 to see if it was just that particular one but the newly bought one did it again. It doesn't happen to any other car, though.

Anyone else experience this?

A few times now I have logged in the way I described and dropped from 200 to 170...

Sometimes it doesn't "save" after logging on, Until 1.03 now it always saves after you log on, So either you were not connected to PSN or during the "Maintenance"

Edit: I had a weird little bug or hiccup. I had 200% working fine for one race then all of a sudden nothing, Quick restart of game back up to 200%. Odd.

Most of these "small things" seem fairly game-breaking to me...

hate to disagree but if you look at all the small crap peeps are complaining about here it makes for the sadness.

the actually-real "game breaking" issues, although serious, are not that large in number compared to people whining about stupid things such as;
why cant i paint brake callipers,
that [insert random accessory/part] ruins the "look" of the car,
why cant i swap engines,
complaints about vid/gfx quality and insisting its the games fault,
real racetracks dont have jumps,
thats not what the turbo sounds like on 'X' car,
why has 'Y' car not got the proper street version interior,
woe-is-me a guage on my dash seems not to work exactly like in the real world,

- and the mountain of other silly little kid complaints.

the really sad thing is that these peeps actually believe they have a right to get these things fixed and scream blue-bloody-murder if its not immediately fixed.

ps: yes ive generalised some.

I was thinking more along the lines of the stockyard debacle, and the 1.03 update that had to be activated within two seconds of the update screen showing up... what other games do this?

 

[LaughingJack]

the 1second freezing issue at start of almost every race while using USER BGM is still there

easy fix No1> turn off BG music.
i hate it personally - BG and Menu music goes off by default in every game i play, too distracting, but thats my personal preference.

EDIT> only game i play with BG music is WipeOut, for obvious reasons.

After 1.03 when I go back to watch saved replays my PS3 freezes and I have to turn it off manually which causes it to beep 3x then power off. When turning it back on it goes thru the checking for corrupt data routine... Anyone else having this issue?

yeh i think the whole stockyard idea is a joke - wont use it (stockyard should have been "shareyard" - and worked proper).

that update thing?! not seen it myself so fair enough.
what did it do if you were slow to activate?
come to think of it, why did you even have to "activate" it? ive not had to activate any updates...

@Speedracer8218 Yes. There is a thread dedicated to this issue here. There may be others and/or posts in other threads as well. Please go there and make your experience known.

Cool thx for the help bud

I ain't much help. Only PD can fix this. No one that I know of that has been having these issues has discovered a reliable work around, let alone the root cause. PD is as usual, silent as the grave regarding it.

I was doing this thing called LAIR (Let A.I Race), where on the first lap I jam the cars up together as much as possible and let them race on the second lap and onward while I watch in the first corner then watch the replay.

I did this at GT World Championship at Laguna Seca and something weird was happening. They were taking the pit road on the first corner and they didn't even pit.

Yea I read the thread and there's little I can say that hasn't been said in there already. Little by little I'm losing confidence in PD as a competent company because this is a simple fix yet they choose to focus on stuff like an interior for the M4.

If you would be so kind, throw a short post in there anyway, if for nothing else but to keep it active.

Time change in online races.

After race completed, time of the day will reset back to original room setting.

I remember on GT5 time of the day will keep continue (seen from the shadows or day/night transition)

This is not a bug, but at least there should be an option for continuous time.

Understatement of the year right there.

Right now I can't race anything off line. I was trying Novice, and there is no cars on the starting grid, tried several other races, seems to be less cars than normal and my car is missing. I hit start and I get a box saying "This race cannot be started. The race information is invalid."

WTF, can't do seasonal or Goodwin either

 

[devilracer1987]

Sounds like a corrupted save there Slicer_Bry

Could well be corrupt dat so delete game dat and re-install see if works as mine did it couple times and reset all

Just turn off the system once & try again happened to me once too

 

[Astro_BS-AS]

Guys, this is just a question.

In one of the threads about 1.03 changes some members were reporting what could be seen as "reversed suspension settings" once again. Has anyone experienced something weird with the suspension?

I´m at work right now, but I´d like if some of you could test one or two things.

For example, raise the front of the car to the max. The car should understeer more than before. If it´s the opposite then we have a serious problem. Or whatever thing that you could imagine...

Insist that I´m just asking.
I just like to know if some of you know a thing or two about that.

 

[Slicer_Bry]

Yeah, it was abit of premature panic Tried it right after I posted, there was a Goodwood invite and it worked like normal,

 

[bolloman]

i have found a new bug. brake setup doesn't matter while abs is off. you can set the strenght to 10 or 0, same result. set front 10, rear 0, or front 0, rear 10, or front 10, rear 10, or front 0, rear 0. there is no different car handling. tyres get blocked at same brakepedal pressure. (online lobby- comfort tyres- rx7)

[Nunandre]

Arghhhhhh, still cant do the Kart 100 series 2nd race or 3rd ones...game crashes and freezes and only way is to reboot PS3 leading to "restore system" screen.....Arghhhhhhh

 

[Gasolina]

Alright, so this just happened.

Apricot Hill 20min challenge. Winning by over a minute (second place car behind me, lapped whilst he was in pits), tyres are dead, tiny spin, second place car overtakes me, then I'm second... and then race position drops to 6th without a single car passing me. WTF?

Is it just me? Pissed me off after 20 minutes of less than thrilling race! After the GT5 Tsukuba pit saga in GT5, not cool!

Also, some time ago doing a 3 lap race, winning easily on 3rd lap and as I cross the finish line it changes to last and one lap remaining......

 

[ProjectWHaT]

That glitch was supposedly fixed by the first mini-patch after 1.03. Strange that it still happens sometimes.

Strange because I am definitely up to date with patches.
Not doing another timed race until next patch

This happened to me today in 24 minutes of Le Mans. When 24 minutes run out, AI are in pit and i am doing last lap, game changes my race position - (minus) number of cars actually in pit lane. So if i'm 1st, and at the end of race when timer shows 0:00 (last lap) 10 cars are in pit lane, game changes my position to 1st + 10 cars in pit lane = 11th. When i cross the finish line, everything counts as it should be, and it says i finished 1st.

When I buy upgraded brakes they are super tiny instead of bigger.
