The Great Project Cars Glitches, Bugs and Errors Thread

[killerjimbag]

The only bug I'm currently experiencing is that when I stop my car, the engine stalls and there is no way of getting going again.

Uhm,hit the engine start button!

Dont know if this has been reported or not but i decide to use manual to shift (when i first got the game i was trying to set it to that but it wouldn't let me because of the assigning buttons bug) and when i either shift up or down it would double shift. Like for example im about to downshift to 2nd but it goes straight to1st. Im only pressing the button once. Anyone else have this problem? I hope im not confusing you guys. Im a controller user btw. Also this barley happens.

Would happen on PC with my G27. Had this issue since launch. Rarely happens though.

Happens to me quite often (Also a controller user ) when downshifting, but seems totally random when upshifting. Much less than it used to. Patch 1 an 2 had it happen 2-3 times a race During my Formula B career i was getting on with at the time. But since the last couple patches it happens much less, 1-2 times a night, maybe?

Couple more patches an it might be every couple days!

Ok cool glad i ain't the only one having this issue

PS4
Track : Nûrburgring
Car : RUF RGT-8 GT3
Carreer mode
Issue : doing my mandatory pit stop in lap 8, AI takes over ... and stays there. Couldn't do anything else then retire/exit.


2nd try:

Issue: after 3 laps the screen goes black, wheel goes fully to the left leaving me with a black playstation error screen.


3rd try Rage Quit


Didn't have any serious bugs untill patch 4.0, now it's going from bad to worse

I don't know if this is a bug or poorly programmed Ai, on the two layouts of Mojave with the banking sections, cars that get above the single file train line will slow down on the banking and eventually just stop on the track. It's as if the Ai don't realize that the whole surface is the track.

I experienced an issue like this on PS4 in an online lobby, tried to get up close to the wall for a laugh, the car hopped and skipped and slowed down like it was running through a gravel trap,

Just had my second crash in 2 days, both since downloading the new DLC, both while either driving a DLC car or on a DLC track. This time in the awesome Aston DBR1-2, round the Glen.

Just had my second crash in 2 days, both since downloading the new DLC, both while either driving a DLC car or on a DLC track. This time in the awesome Aston DBR1-2, round the Glen.

I don't think it's a problem specific to the DLC. I've had 3 crashes recently, 2 in the last 2 days, all since 4.0 update, and all while driving Formula A in career on different tracks. I actually tested out a lot of cars on the test track, including the latest DLC cars, and didn't have a single issue. I reckon it's just coincidence you've had crashes during the use of the DLC items, and I believe these crashes can happen with any car on any track. It's a massive problem they really need to fix asap, as I imagine a lot of people will just shelve the game or give up entirely due to the crashes.

My last crash was massive. As I said it was during a FA career race, it was at Monza. The game froze, and made an alarming screechy type noise through the speakers, and then crashed, with the usual wheel turning to one side thing. When it got to the home screen with the error report, I noticed the pop up saying my keyboard was disconnected kept coming up repeatedly. I did the report, and unplugged the keyboard and plugged it back in. Right away it was disconnecting and reconnecting constantly again. I reset the PS4, and it was still doing it.

Tested the keyboard in my laptop and it works perfectly. Tested other things in the PS4's USB ports, including the DS4 and an external HDD, and they work fine with no disconnecting, so I was at a loss as to why the crash suddenly made the keyboard not work.

Tried plugging it in again 5 mins later, and it works fine... wtf lol. Turned the game back on and completed the whole 54 lap race without a single problem. Oh, actually there was one problem. A pit bug I had in an earlier FA race (Silverstone) where it started raining, and I pitted for inters, and the game gave me full wets. I tried multiple times and couldn't get inters. I'd just get full wets whether I chose inter or wet. So it started raining at Monza, and thinking this bug may be car specific and not track specific, I went for 5 laps in the rain on slicks, 2 laps more than the AI, to stretch it as far as I could, just to avoid putting wets on on a damp track. I selected inters when I pitted, checked telemetry HUD while exiting the lane, and sure enough, I had wets. Oh well, the rain was heavy, and I ran as long as I could on slicks in the rain, so I managed to get the switch over point as close as I was ever going to, and the wets held up fine.

Wow, sorry for the novel guys

 

[Elitekilla29]

Seems like im having the double downshift problem even more now. This needs to get fixed asap. Im really thinking about switching to automatic until it gets fixed.

I had the same thing with my wheel. Wouldn't recognize it after reconnecting so had to restart the PS4 instead. Was a bad crash. Still haven't gone back to career the find all these other bugs myself, but I'm sure I'll get a few when I do.

Crashes that bad make me paranoid. Mostly because of what GT6 did to my PS3. It started with just more pop up than usual when playing online, and continued to get worse, 'till big buildings, barriers, even track surface, were all randomly popping up right in front of me while racing. Not all of the time, just seemingly at random.

I used to get big crashes in GT6 when this kind of stuff was happening, but with the PS3, it wouldn't go back to the XMB, it'd just lock up the whole system, requiring turning off at the power point to turn it off. It got to the point where at times, the road and trackside objects would stop loading half way through a race, and I'd be driving on air, with nothing on screen but my car and the background image, and then it'd crash.

It got to the point where just entering a race would make the system freeze up and crash, and then eventually the PS3 wouldn't even launch the game without crashing.

Now, my PS3 was 6 years old, and had a good run. I'd also had to replace the bluray drive in it before these problems started, as GTA online put so much stress on the laser, constantly reading the disc, it burned out. But, GT6 was simply too much for the system, and the system had had a long life, and died.

My PS4 on the other hand is only a matter of months old, so where I didn't care too much when my PS3 finally died, I would be pissed if the PS4 was being damaged from all this crashing. None of my other games have crashed, and the system doesn't seem to break a sweat with any of them. Pcars just seems poorly optimised for the system. There's no way it's getting the most out of it, and there's no way at all that Pcars is the maximum of what the PS4 is capable of. SMS need to get the game optimised for each system it's on, and I think the lack of console testing prior to the launch is what's caused these problems on the two consoles.

I think it's really mostly the framerate that's the killer. Pushing those 60fps is a struggle for this gen, even the new Rainbow 6 can only handle 60fps in certain modes, and with no AI. Wish they'd stuck a bit more grunt in the new consoles.

Yeah having bought the Xbone and PS4 i think it's safe to say i am very underwhelmed with my purchases which i never felt with PS1, PS2, Xbox, 360, PS3 those at the time felt powerful machines while Xbone/PS4 feel very low powered and i'd be more than happy with new machines as soon as possible.

The issues that you were having with PS3 and GT6 are similar to @ALB123 had, and it was the disc that causing the crash, freeze and graphic corruption. Some PS3 have bad Bluray lenses, mine have been running GTAV 5 for over 200 hours, MGS V 150+hours, Fallout 3 GOTY 200+ hours, GT6 could be 600+hours, and I still have so many games that have been completed ( more than 20 ) that often played by my brother and the lens is still original one. I always kept all my disc in pristine condition, no dust or scratches, all my BR discs are as new

 

[UkHardcore23]

Do SMS actually test anything before putting it out?

 

[VBR]

Hardly ever had any problems with GT6, it always ran very stable on my PS3. Didn't have many issues online either.

My discs are always in their case if they aren't in the console. I too keep my discs in as new condition. I got rid of my broken PS3, but kept a couple of games, including GT6, and it still has not one scratch. Also, I replaced the Blu Ray drive in my ps3 well before the issues started. It wasn't related to loading from the disc, it was a ram related problem that killed it. In the end, when it wouldn't even launch a game without crashing, even launching the internet browser was enough to crash it lol, it was done.

I also had just as many if not more hours than you logged on GTA5 and GT6. I also had 1000s of hours on other games.

GT6 pushes the PS3 to it's limit, and my PS3 had done a lot of work prior to GT6 coming out, so it was just a bit too much for it in the end. I'll prob buy a cheap second hand PS3 one day, as I've got the special edition of GT6 still in mint condition, as well as the MGS legacy collection, which I'd really like to play again lol.

Edit: At least now with my PS4, I have a family and far too much going on in my life to spend much time on it. That should give it a much easier life than my ps3 had for the first 3 or so years that I owned it lol.

So what your saying is devs these days are extremely incompetent, I remember waaaaaaaaaaaaay back on Xbox PGR2 ran flawlessly online i also dont remember 1000 bugs hampering our enjoyment either.

 

[ALB123]

@Ridox2JZGTE is correct, my GT6 went wonky on me and I had to replace it (I tried formatting the HDD, replacing the HDD with an SSD before figuring out it was just a bad disc). The strange thing is, I literally only use my PS3 for playing GT6. I do not eject my disc ever. It had zero scratches on it. Such a strange thing to happen, but it did...

No, I'm not saying that. I was just replying to @Mike_grpA who mentioned that he had a ton of problems with GT6.


Anyway, back on topic; I got a new bug today!


BMW M3 GT - No tuning.

Brands Hatch GP Circuit.

Free Practice.

Fanatec GT2 & G25 Pedals

BUG: Every now & then the revs would go up & then back down, or sometimes go up & stay up. Mostly happened after I shifted. Usually when you shift up, the revs go down & then start rising, but with this bug they went up immediately & hit the limiter. Sometimes they stayed there, & sometimes they fell back down again.


:confused.

That's a weird one indeed, haven't heard of that one yet. You sure it isn't your pedals playing up? I've had potentiometers play up like that in my old Logi pedals. Just a thought, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was a new and exciting bug in the game lol

 

[svenvangent]

Jump whoepssss .

They say the solution with the landmines would lie in the suspension .... I don't think/sure about that because I'm just rolling out the car after doing a lap .

Was just thinking the exact same thing. My brake pedals was spiking years ago, so I swapped it out with the clutch. Maybe the clutch is spiking & that's what's causing the revs to rise. I'll try it again, maybe resterting the game will solve it, if not I'll set a massive deadzone for the clutch & see if that sorts it out.

It's worth a try mate. If it is one of the pots they are cheap to replace. I've got a couple just sitting around, as I was planning on using one to make an analogue handbrake for my set up, but just haven't gotten around to it. I pulled them out of my Logi pedals, as I gave the set to my 3 year old to play with. Took out all the electrics from the wheel and pedals. I'm thinking about making a small rig to mount them to for him to pretend to race lol.
