On pc I get constant unhandled exception errors and crashes to desktop. I've took the overclock off of my cpu and gpu, disabled any overlays and yet it still crashes. I can play one day without a problem, but then the next day the game will work for 15 mins then crash and I won't be able to get it restarted. It's very frustrating.

I don't think this is a bug
You can set it up like that in online GT6 races too. A car leaving the pits at slow speed, or driving very slow, regaining the track, or in trouble for some reason is turned into a kind of ghost, to avoid crashes.

I know games like GT and Forza turn player cars into ghost cars during certain gameplay situations in multiplayer. The PC video is from an offline race though.

It happened to me when leaving pits and AI drove right through me.
I'm on PS4.

Have you added the game .exe to your anti-virus exceptions?

I wasn't able to enter any of the community time trials today. The entry box was locked. Am I being stupid or should I be able to access some of them?

I believe they are all closed at this point in time. The SMS events are only open for 4 days I believe. A little silly as you could miss one entirely just by being away for a few days.

Thanks for the info, a closing date would make that a fair bit clearer!

Online practice session.

AI took over the car entering the pits, crashed into the divider just after making the right 90 degree turn into pit lane, reversed almost all the way out of pit lane then drove in and hit it again, after being somewhat disorientated after the collision he has turned left into what I would describe as a team managers pit wall area, now he is stuck,

Or are they closed because people like me are not having their times registered and SMS is working on a fix?

I have done three events and have had only one time registered successfully even though they were valid laps :-(

That is horrible .. did you try pausing then unhooking the T300 from the ps4 and reconnecting and letting it calibrate then unpausing to see if it would work? (not that this is OK, but curious if there is a work around)
Click to expand...

Just thought I would say that I re installed the game today and then went through the calibration process in controls set up.
My wheel and pedals are now working ok (so far lol) but my back ground images are still very blurry,but never mind.
Does anyone know why neutral flashes on the gear number when you change gear?
Thanks.

It depends on the car.. if it is a stick shift car (h pattern) then you have to go to neutral between gears and the game is just displaying that. - if you are referring to the replays, it is a known bug that the gear shown is often only neutral.

Thanks for the reply,I see what you mean by it passing through nuetral.

I too have just found the hidden barrier at turn 11. Plus when I tried to continue the race I had lost all force feedback in my wheel so I had to restart the race. Next time all went smooth.

Does anyone get the bug where suddently one of your adversary is going like 7-8 seconds faster then the rest of the field ? Usually happen to me in practice. I was doing the Caterham event and I pitted like 2 mn before the end, proceed to the pit, I was ahead in 55 sec, rest of the field was close behind. Hit the go to the end of the session button and suddently one of the drivers did a lap in 48 sec. I play in 90% difficulty pro setting on wheel.

Also one other weird things happening to me is having a setup applied without me doing anything. Sometimes when the right condition are met (I dont know what they are), I get my setup changed completely, you can notice it because 3rd and 4th gear are exactly at the same place, so you shift from 3rd to 4th and it look like you didnt switch it, first time it happen to me, I thought my wheel was broken. It also set up your break bias way in the back.

Weird :)

Yup, and it's still present for me after the XBox One patch. Only one driver now whereas before it could be half-the-pack-or-more. Pretty irritating but at least they don't seem to have that pace in the race... so I get my elbows out in turn one :D
 
There is a bug where when you skip to the end of the session sometimes it will log one or more AI laptimes at the point in the lap they currently are so it is possible to see times that are a few [several]seconds faster after skipping. The AI are not actually driving that fast the time just posted incorrectly.

If you want to make sure this does not happen then either drive to the end of the session or simulate the rest of the session. AFAIK it only happens when you choose skip to end and even then doesn't do it everytime
 
When your engine blows immediately press Options/Start/whatever button and choose 'skip to end of session' you'll win the race by an insane margin. :lol:

Answer from a developer: "it's not a bug per se" :lol:
This is an unfortunate side effect of how our shadow system works and is a 'fallout' of having a 24H light cycle system, which is why it only shows up this noticeably at certain times of day. We will continue to improve these aspects of our render engine, but it's not a bug per se.

Here's a brand new bug causing a crash on PS4. BTW I use the disc version.

New online Time Trial is open and I still can't register a time :-(
Edit: my time has registered BUT it took a loooooooooong time.

So I thought I would set up the car anyway. I go to My Garage and Select the Mercedes 190E Evo2 DTM - Instant Crash.

Re-Start game, send error report and return to garage. The car I selected was highlighted so I select go to Edit Current Setup - Instant crash. Send Error Report, Restart PS4 and restart game, go my garage and select another Merc 190E, instant crash. It did not matter whether I selected a car or used the pre-selected car the game would instantly crash on the next selection.

Hopefully you get the idea. After 7 attempts to edit this car I have given up. The game has been relatively crash free for a while now and I even ran it in the 190E TT so the car is not corrupted and I have driven it online previously BUT I have never done the above and tried to edit it in My Garage.

I would like to add I have NEVER had a PS game crash as often as this one. And that is not including all the freezes I have had as well :-(

This just began happening with me also. I've thought mine was tied to having multiple apps running alongside the game. DashMeterPro and pCARS Profiler to be specific.
But maybe not? I would really prefer to not have mine tied to Steam.

Is there a way to run the game completely separate from Steam? PC version, obviously.
 
I haven't really read through the problems yet, but is any one else experiencing extreme Framerate slowdowns and speed ups on Brands Hatch? It seems 5 times worse then any other track, and makes it pretty much unplayable for me. It also seems to be relative to when you're on throttle or brakes.

It's during that one invitational for the GT event. I'm going to guess that the amount of cars as well as the weather is playing a big role in it.

Hit what seemed to be an invisible wall on the pit straight which made me loose FFB and my tire and brake temps went from hot to cold in an instant . Getting slightly peed off with it happening half way through a 100% race .

There is some hope for all those who have the "random downshifting to 1st" bug:

I appreciate the response and all. But It's happening on brand new controllers two. I bought my PS4 on May 7th. The only action it saw before playing Pcars and experiencing the bug within an hour of playing, was setting up a PSN account and inputting my internet details. Dirty/Tired/Unhealthy it is not.

I'd like to claim my fingers are that fast too, but at 29... I can already begin to tell they aren't :lol:
