The Great Project Cars Glitches, Bugs and Errors Thread

[Ridox2JZGTE]

That's weird for the AI, I thought they were running on simplified physics, why would they struggle a lot ?

 

[VBR]

The only bugs I've had with the CSR are 1: The random "spiky" FFB where all of a sudden it feels like the wheel is full of rocks, but that seems to affect all wheels, and a simple session restart seems to fix that. And, 2: The missing FFB bug where on a rare occasion when you go to track in a new session you'll have no FFB, only rumble. Pausing, and then turning off and on the wheel, fixes this one for me.

I've never experienced the first bug you mentioned on my Fanatec GT2, maybe I will on the CSR. Still haven't tried it yet, for some strange reason I just can't be bothered.

It's not a wheel specific bug, it seems to happen to all wheels with varying frequency. I only get it on a rare occasion. The dead ffb upon session start bug is far more common to me. Thankfully it's easy with the Fanatec wheels having an on/off switch.

I've had that one a fair few times, & it is good that we can turn the wheel on & off now without the game crashing. It went away with 4.0 for me, but came back in 5.0.

Getting stuck in the damn pits. It's happening online. This is getting annoying. You can't even do mandatory pit stops because of this.

 

[Mike_grpA]

Does anyone have a workaround for the "complete 175 career laps" invitation not unlocking? I did a bit of googling, and apparently it's listed twice, so the one that doesn't unlock must be incorrectly labelled, so has anyone worked out what unlocks it?

Happy Thanksgiving to all whom it applies. What can I say? I really don't like coming into these forums and leveling laments at devs who work their asses off getting us the end result which we want to sink our collective teeth into, BUT, with that said, it's hard not to mention the wide array of pestering, niggling, dare I say worrying bugs, glitches, and errors found in Project Cars.

Now I'm not like some others who may complain about it but don't play [it]. I play it because I'm addicted to driving fast and generally bad things happen to me and the people around me on a weekly basis when I am not able to get in some meaningful track time in my life.

I've mentioned in other threads many of the problems I've encountered with PC's and those who know me know that I don't bitch for nothing. I will play through as many problems and glitches as possible before making an appearance on these forums and PC's is no different. I still play the game each day.

Right now PC's is playable but you must have a very open mind, and tons of patience. You must also prepare for the unexpected. I came into this particular thread b/c I want to list the problems I've had and things I've noticed just to aggregate thoughts with fellow pilots and hopefully get some more of the SMS eyeballs on these issues so that it may heavily influence the creation of PC2 and hopefully, maybe get some of them fixed in PC's although highly doubtful at this point.

I've lamented repeatedly about the problems at Le Mans because I race there a lot and I've reported on them in other threads. I'm sure other pilots are experiencing these same issues on other tracks as well. These are simply my observations:

• Why are so many cars stuck at the grid the entire time during a replay when you were tangling with them side by side the entire race?
• Why can't one spectate a race in your own lobby - why does [it] force you to race no matter what and doesn't let one properly admin if desired?
  
• Why can't we name our rooms?
• We understand that the Michelin Tower at Sarthe is sponsored by well, Michelin and may be very difficult to manipulate license-wise, but in the static pic of Le Mans (the loading screen pic) you have a "Yiro Tires" advert lighting up the Marquee. Is there no way to have static pics or "real-time" pics of the PC cars as they speed around the track or the grandstands, or to actually display real time race data on the tower, i.e. times?
• Why aren't there fireworks at Le Mans after sunset? Why aren't there more people in and around the pit areas?
• Why isn't the ability to see the driver's list or cars [in the race] list whilst one is driving in the race online? GT does this.
• Why do AI cars always take the same exact lines no matter what and never ever learn? If you race Le Mans and do a rolling start, the cars on the inside will always push the cars near the Ferris Wheel into the sand. No. Matter. What. This makes no sense to me and seems easily correctable.
• Why don't other human driver's cars ghost when they go too slow? Why is it only if they are going the wrong way? GT does this.
• Why aren't the driver names, or vehicle names displayed in the dialogue box when viewing a replay so that you know exactly which car one is attempting to view? GT does this.
• For WEC and Le Mans races only couldn't there be a category that allows LMP's and GTE cars instead of just "ANY"? When you set it to any, some one is just bound to be in a stock Ford Mustang GT, sitting in the garage.
• Why isn't the "join in" rubber banding glitch fixed by now? I only set the rooms to allow six drivers now and fill the rest with AI drivers at about 96% difficulty. The reason why is because allowing a full grid of players is sure to wreck your race before you even begin especially during a good quali. What happens you ask when there are 16 allowed? Well, in public races, each time someone joins it creates a huge lag spike and you better not be in a turn when this happens - if you're so unlucky to be in a turn - the game will freeze and make a "Total Recall 2 weeks sound", the TS300 will be completely locked to the right or left and the game will freeze. This unfortunately happens waaayyy to frequently and is only remedied by a complete shutdown and restart.

The crazy thing? I keep playing this broken mess b/c GT6 hurts my eyes too much to go back now and GT Sport isn't available yet.... smh. So I'm stuck in "next generation" limbo at the moment...





help.

These are simply my observations:

• Why are so many cars stuck at the grid the entire time during a replay when you were tangling with them side by side the entire race?

Probably a bug.

• Why can't one spectate a race in your own lobby - why does [it] force you to race no matter what and doesn't let one properly admin if desired?

Probably an oversight and it might require extra coding.

• Why can't we name our rooms?

Another oversight, I would love this feature too.

• We understand that the Michelin Tower at Sarthe is sponsored by well, Michelin and may be very difficult to manipulate license-wise, but in the static pic of Le Mans (the loading screen pic) you have a "Yiro Tires" advert lighting up the Marquee. Is there no way to have static pics or "real-time" pics of the PC cars as they speed around the track or the grandstands, or to actually display real time race data on the tower, i.e. times?

It most likely is hard to program.

• Why aren't there fireworks at Le Mans after sunset? Why aren't there more people in and around the pit areas?

Same as above and possible limitations on consoles.

• Why isn't the ability to see the driver's list or cars [in the race] list whilst one is driving in the race online? GT does this.

Because it's a sim.

• Why do AI cars always take the same exact lines no matter what and never ever learn? If you race Le Mans and do a rolling start, the cars on the inside will always push the cars near the Ferris Wheel into the sand. No. Matter. What. This makes no sense to me and seems easily correctable.

Not the best AI programming, but it has gotten a lot better from launch and is supposed to get better.

• Why don't other human driver's cars ghost when they go too slow? Why is it only if they are going the wrong way? GT does this.

1. Because this isn't GT
2. Because this is a sim.

• Why aren't the driver names, or vehicle names displayed in the dialogue box when viewing a replay so that you know exactly which car one is attempting to view? GT does this.

Possible oversight.

• For WEC and Le Mans races only couldn't there be a category that allows LMP's and GTE cars instead of just "ANY"? When you set it to any, some one is just bound to be in a stock Ford Mustang GT, sitting in the garage.

Because then there would only be the Aston Martin GTE and the rest would be prototypes. The GT4 cars are meant to act as the GT Am I think.

• Why isn't the "join in" rubber banding glitch fixed by now? I only set the rooms to allow six drivers now and fill the rest with AI drivers at about 96% difficulty. The reason why is because allowing a full grid of players is sure to wreck your race before you even begin especially during a good quali. What happens you ask when there are 16 allowed? Well, in public races, each time someone joins it creates a huge lag spike and you better not be in a turn when this happens - if you're so unlucky to be in a turn - the game will freeze and make a "Total Recall 2 weeks sound", the TS300 will be completely locked to the right or left and the game will freeze. This unfortunately happens waaayyy to frequently and is only remedied by a complete shutdown and restart.

Because it isn't the only bug and may be difficult to fix.

Did you try selecting 'return to pit' again then try to drive? I often get a bug where my jack guy doesn't let me leave the garage until I pit again.

It seems to me that using a wheel on the PS4 causes the game to crash more frequently. I've been a DS4 user since the launch of Project Cars and upgraded to a G29 6 days ago. In the past 6 days I've had the game freeze up and cause a reboot of the Ps4 every single day.

 

[bleeder]

Had some madness at Silverstone Classic in the R8 LMP:

Crashed the car, restarted race, no cars were loaded on the grid, I was still stuck where I crashed; restarted again, screen went black with no buttons or wheel working; I gave up, pressed home button and after a minute on the PS home screen the wheel came back to life and spun round so I opened the game again, restarted race, no cars loaded on the grid....

Classic

 

[notanexpert]

Not sure if a glitch, but I was racing at hockenheim in gt4. But the end of 28 laps I had lapped about 6 other cars. Once I finished the race, the results popped up, and clearly some cars had not finished, but it still showed those cars as 2nd 3rd and 4th... Etc.

As the current lap opponents (ginettas and other vantage gt4s) finished, it did move them to the top of the list, but when I hit continue, there were m3 gt4, and Aston hydrogen listed in the top ten. Now I know the m3 would NEVER be in the top ten so that's why I'm questioning if the game made a mistake.

I've been having some strange performance issues ever since installing the Lotus DLC pack.

Seemingly at random tracks, and only ever as the cars are on their way to the finish line, I get some noticeable stuttering, not just framerate drops, more a judder every half second or so, and only ever crops up as the flag has been waved and the AI are crossing the line. It's as if whenever an AI car crosses the line the game is stuttering. I can run however many laps I like and this problem will only turn up at the end of the race. It's really odd and definitely only started after the last DLC. It doesn't happen every race, but way more than i'd like.

Along with my DLC track setup save issue I've had I'm wondering if the game is slowly dying on me, it cannae take much more of this, man!

pCARS sure is a wild ride Thankfully there's the wonderfully well sorted FM6 experience to ease the pain of pCARS

Ha not for me. No Xbox this gen. Also I've had way more fun with pCARS these past months than I ever had playing the old Forzas, but no doubt I'd also own it if I had a different console.

If pCARS had Forza's reliability and stability it'd be the very best driving game on console, without a shadow of doubt

I think it's just unlucky timing mate, as I've used a wheel for most of my Pcars playing time, and the crashes have become less frequent.

After I think it was 4.0, the frequency of crashes increased dramatically for me, to one crash per 1 - 2 hours of gameplay, which was unacceptable IMO. Since 5.0 however, I've only had a total of 2 crashes, and I've been playing the game more often too, so it's not from lack of play time. To put that in perspective, I've had 3 crashes in Fallout 4 in the time I played that, which was about half the playtime I put into Pcars in the same timeframe, so going off that, Pcars is roughly three times as stable as Fallout 4 for me

Edit: Fallout 4 was only the second game I've had crash on PS4, so this isn't a common thing or anything like that. If Pcars was a living thing, it'd feel much better about itself now that it's not the only game to have crashed on my PS4 lol. Sorry, I'm rambling now, I'll let myself out...
