After seeing this occurance that just happened, i'm starting to think online is incredibly broken.

I had the black screen with the track map on again, but this time the race countdown was stuck on the screen, and what I think was the game thinking it was in B-Spec mode.

There was a little window at the bottom titled "teammate" with two bars, no helmet was on there either. Both bars said "physical strength", but there was no mental strenth bars either. The names appeared on there too, which isn't like the driver names in the game.

It's a really bizzare glitch, and I think 2.02 has broken online a huge lot.

I have a picture of it if anyone's curious.

I have no problem online while I play with other players, but you need to get high speed connection and near router.

I have been using wireless with a 1MB connection speed and NAT2 ever since launch day and have had no major problems until 2.02 came along.

The update has broken the online, it's not my setup.
 
If this has been mentioned, sorry.

But it appears created courses post update 2.02 can not be played in 2player mode.

I really hope they fix this. This almost ruins 2player for me.
 
Just finished the Sarthe 24 hour race and found a few problems.

I was driving the Audi R10, going against the Pescarolo Hybrid. I had soft tires and was pitting every 4 laps, and the Pescarolo probably had medium tires and was pitting every 6 laps.

In the middle of the race the rain started. At this point I was on first place. One thing I noticed was that I had the impression the pace of the Pescarolo changed after I suspended the race. For example, sometimes the Pescarolo's pace on the rain was 3.58.xxx, others it was beyond 4 minutes.

Well, the rain reduced gradually from 100% to 82%, and at this point the Pescarolo started lapping at an unbelievable pace. It was going 10 seconds faster per lap than me, doing a 3.40.xxx, which is only 6 seconds off its usual dry lap. Just to keep up the pace I had to cut all the chicanes I could (which was a shame, really).

Then, when the rain was at 82%, it started to increase and went to 94%. But the impression I had was that the track was actually drying.

Well, when the track was at around 35%, the Pescarolo started lapping at 3.34.xxx, which is exactly the lap times it can do on the dry. Which makes me think perhaps the physics calculation was off. But I clearly felt the track was still somewhat wet, and it was just impossible to have that kind of pace.

Finally the track reached 0% and lap times went back to normal, but then another weird thing happened. I went back to my normal 4 laps per stint, but this time the Pescarolo wasn't doing 6, but 10 laps per stint. And what's even more strange, the lap times didn't change at all! From his first to last lap on the stint, it would do a solid 3.34.xxx. So is it possible it had no tire wear and was just pitting to refuel?

Another annoyance was that sometimes cars would run out of fuel and go very slow, but they would do that for a few laps. I even noticed at one time a car going to the pits and coming back slow again. So probably it did not refuel, just changed tires. That happened to 3 cars in the race, and after a few laps they would be back to normal.
 
Nurburgring, the straight after Aremberg, gone completely transparent/light green-ish for a second or two. Besides that, everything's fine.
 
I do now all of a sudden have issues when trying to play Arcade mode on professional setting. It starts stuttering while loading the track and doesn't ever go to the race. I'm wondering if I should delete the data on the HD and reinstall to see if that clears it up.
 
I noticed something when I got a black screen last night in an online race. The room host was MIA so some of the racers voted him out. I didn't think that was possible but he disappeared. The new host started the race and I got a black screen. The map came up and something about voting came up in the middle of the screen and at the bottom 2 things about Damon(something or other, I can't remember the rest).

Now I'm wondering if voting or trying to vote people out of a room in an online race is causing some of the black screens. I'm also not the only person in the past week who has reported the same problem.

Thanks for posting the pic Xenn. That is what my friends and I see occasionally when we get a black screen while racing in an online lobby. At other times it only shows the map without the message. Both black screen events are new since the 2.02 update.
 
HUD missing in 2 player (already reported) is my pet bifff. I play with my daughter and we were both upset by it missing as she uses it a lot and I started relying on it since I started using the H shifter to make it harder for me and level the race a bit.
 
Chase cam glitch is horrible. It defo starts after an hour or so and gets worse until your car is lagging and over to one side of the screen!!
 
There is a problem with SPORT TUNE suspension car height setting and the values shown in the "SPEC SHEET" screen (from TUNING press "SPEC SHEET" button near bottom right to get to screen, where it can show/copy three different settings A,B,C). The front height values are not in sync. I set the front height to -4, but in the SPEC SHEET screen it shows a value of 1. The rear height are in sync/ok. CUSTOM TUNE suspension car height (F and B) and values in SPEC SHEET are correct. Only SPORT TUNE front suspension has problem

Can someone please confirm? Once confirmed how do we let GT5 team know about this bug?
 
I've got another one, though I'm not sure this has been mentioned yet. Some filters, after you quit 'Photo Mode' and start a new session in practice mode, can now been experienced while racing and watching replays.

Somewhat annoying yet awesome.
 
I found out all 1st gen to 3rd gen Prius have mess up THS while PD fix in 2.02 update. But I was drive them as they can't charge battery during move from stop full can charge battery by press full torque.

Its been mentioned a billion times.
 
Sometime between before Christmas weekend and now I have lost the ability to stop my replays in practice mode to take photos. And once the replay is finished - the game freezes up. In addition, if I pause the latest seasonal A-Spec race I cannot exit (no menu pops up) without restarting my console.
 
2.02 update features is less than all the troubles as we can see here .

kaz mentioned an update for January anyone knows when exactly ?
 
I used the "restore to new" ticket for a FGT that had been heavily used for grinding.
After applying the ticket the HP is only 917, my 2 other new FGTs have HP of 935.

Ran all 3 FGTs for 50 miles each on Indy to break in, no change in HP difference.

i think using this ticket means you need to " train " your car again ( couple of laps to gain some hp )

and maybe what happened to you is a glitch because i did with supra and did couple of laps and gained few hp .
 
Game Freeze after finish a seasonal event or A-Spec event.

After the result screen the game freezes while giving you the credits.
The backround processes are still running, like sound and viewing the cars running around the track. But you cannot get the controls after the credits.
Assume the save of the gamesave fail. The only choice is to boot the ps3 or shutdown by pressing the poweroff button. After the reboot and start the game you never drive the track, you missing your credits and advanced game.

Great, PD and that after a 24h race.
You should spent money for the community that your beta testers.
And show us more videos from nurb ring while K.Y. drive a GTcar. This is better than the release of code that works
 
My game continues to freeze in online lobbies as well. Frustrating to say the least that I can't even race online - let alone practice in GT Life.
 
I'm have the 2 player HUD issue as well and when taking pictures in a replay if you leave one of the image filters on and exit out. Next time you race the filter will be on while your racing.
 
Same problem. Now my bro doesn't come over to play since he cannot see what revs to change gears. The new chase cam is not bad if you get used to it, but there should at least be an option to toggle on or off like most things in GT5.
 
Here are the issues i've been having since the 2.02 update

Tyre noise (sqeal and screech while sliding, understeeing or oversteering) stops after the end of a online race or track change, when returning to the track in free run mode tyre noise has gone and will not return untill I rejoin the server.
(Engine, wind and tyre to road contact noise is still there but when the tyre loses grip there is no sound played for tyre squeal)

The online player list bugs out alot while on track, leaving gaps inbeween the list and listing players on track when they are not.

The watch race mode often bugs out only viewing the start/finish line no matter who I click on to view.
 
Just had another glitch online.

The race countdown began, and as soon as it hit 8 seconds, the screen went blank. It then appeared again with the player info, etc, but it stayed on screen onto the race.

It was rather hard playing this way, as I had no way to tell how fast I was going and the Square, X buttons weren't working either.

After the race had finished I wasn't able to leave the race back to the lobby, and was stuck outside it. And when the host changed the track, all I could see was the outside of the track and was completely stuck. I couldn't press a single button at all, so I was forced to quit the game.
