Search the forums first. It's a known glitch to happen in the Tsukuba enduros wayy before Spec 2. Just enter the pits correctly (before the final turn) next time and don't go in too fast.

There are also videos on youtube.

This has nothing to do with this problem.
I have tried loads of different things this evening, entering the pits at only 30mph, 'suspending' the game just before the car stops, still no joy.
On reloading, the car is back down the pit entrance straight and always crashes!
 
There's no difference at wich speed to enter the pits 200km/h or 30km/h, car just knocking on the wall and only option is to restart or quit the race.
I hope at least b-spec is not bugged?
Why PD cant test the game at least ONCE before releasing? I hope patch is coming soon.
 
Entered the pits at 40mph and suspended after 2 hours. Car's now glitched, unbelievably annoyed! Grrr, I normally stick up for PD but couldn't they have tested this?!

^ Correct. Not the same issue. I have experienced the original Pit Bug before and the one that manifests itself after suspending the race is completely different.

I thought I'd test the suspend method just now.

I entered the pit (using the correct pit entrance on Tsukuba), doing no more than 40 mph, I let the AI take control to ensure it was able to control the car and selected the Suspend option after it passed the first pit garage (i.e not in the pit lane entrance). Exit to XMB & reload GT5 immediately.

When the race resumed, the car was on the main start/finish straight of the race track proper and completely outside of my control. The AI just consistently lit up all 4 tyres trying to regain it's save position in the pit compound, unfortunately the barriers weren't letting it.

This 'Resume' feature is, in my professional opinion 'borked' on Tsukuba. I have not tested any of the full 24hr a-spec events yet.

Worked as expected on Le Mans 24 Hours. Game resumed with the car entering the pit lane.

Perhaps PD assumed people would only use the feature on the 24hr races. :sly:

Maybe, they must think people just love driving around the tiny Tsukuba track for nine hours straight. You know, because it's such an amazing track to drive for that long.

That could be it, maybe I'll try to run 9h Tsukuba at once.

as mine pitstop/save on Tsukuba went crazy after loading it again, I werent able to pit in at all, either were AI drivers.
 
I'm not using it on Tsukuba next time, will do for the 24hr races though. I'm crushingly disappointed that I wasted 2 hours of my life driving round that pathetic piece of tarmac they dare to call a race track, I can't take that again :(
 
102 laps into suzuka 1000 having no dramas or glitches here, are you guys waiting until you're in pit lane before saving? I hit it just after the car enters pit lane and thats where it restarts from.

i did that last night in an fgt :dunce: 560 laps :crazy:

Had every intention of suspending it then these threads started popping up. By then i was already too far in so decided to hang it out till 4am lmao

Yes I did suspend it right after game takes the control of the car at pitline.
got bad luck I guess.

Tsukuba is fun track to race on, it doesnt need much power to be mastered, as in most tracks power>handling

It's only an issue on Tsukuba because of the dodgy pit lane. On all the other tracks the car can stay on the pit lane easily while under AI control.
 
It's a good thing I'm not the only one having problems with that. I tried it with my ZR-1 and went 211 laps in before stopping for the night last night. I restarted tonight and the car went nuts turning hard left before pulling back onto the track. Then as it got to where it's stall is located tried to get there through the stinking barrier. I tried it as I passed two cars already in their stalls and it restarts me at the entrance at the other side of the corner.

Of course then it started doing laps on it's own. :/
 
it was bugged to me too (in tsukuba). I just launched the game again and somehow took over the controls before Bob entered the pits (i think there is a quick pop up), done extra lap and pited
 
Ok! I just wasted one hour and got the stupid glitch :grumpy: so I came on here looking for help! Looks like nothing works!

So I entered the 9 hour race again. This time I entered the pit lane slowly from the right side of the track and used the save feature as soon as it popped up. I then quit GT5 using the PS button. I restarted GT5 and it put my car entering the pits nicely with the tire and fuel request showing. It seems to work!

It must be to do with when and where i 'suspended' the race.
It is funny watching him bounce down the main straight trying to get into the pits!!

I don't mean to laugh at your situation, but it just sounds funny as all getout, lol.

I had the crash problem the first time I tried it and had to restart the race (fortunately only half an hour in). I did click on Suspend the split second the menu appeared and guessed this might be the problem.

Since my restart, I've done five or so saves, each time waiting until the car was well into the pits, and things have resumed fine. It resumes near the start of the pit lane, but the car drives itself into the pits no problem.

I did the Ring 4Hr event and never had any problems. I think it's just the unguarded nature of Tsukuba's pit lane.
 
in tsukuba when you load (for a second or so) you have control of the car. If you spin it Bob finds his way
 
Saved many times now and it works fine! Just save as soon as you enter the pit lane and get the pop up, quit the game with the PS button and it will work!

When you start up the game, your driver will be calmly entering the pits where you left off!

This is bull crap! I thought it was working perfect after doing 4 saves with no problems, and today after logging another hour, I get the effin glitch!!!!:ouch:

What the hell is wrong with PD making us wast our time!!!!!:grumpy:
 
I don't know a single thing about game development . but it sounds like the suspend option should come up at a more stable time . Maybe game progress should save while the car is stopped in the box . What if you chose suspend coming into pit and the AI continued with the pit stop untill it reaches a predetermined point . What we've got going now just sounds like a mess . Just pondering.
 
Occurred me the same. Started the suspended game and the car was banging the pit lane wall. Exited the game, restarted, same result.
Exited same again, restored the game save file (to the very same version!) and bingo. Car hits the wall in the corner than stops. I could drive to pit lane and continue the event.

I've gotten lucky. The glitch hit me with less then 1hr. The condition of the car was 1/3 tires and 1/2 tank of fuel. I was up 9 laps at this point.

By the time the back tires wore out, Bob gained another lap. That was with 25 minutes left.

I'm letting it run, I think 15 minutes left and up 10 laps we should still take first. It might be close though.

I was thinking this might be a good use bob. Do one pit for new tires and full tank of fuel. Next lap fly onto pit road and save. Return to the game and let bob finish the race. This coulb be a good way to run off the last hour or so.
 
mid-race save is ruined , its useless , i slowed down when i entered pit stop and the same problem happened

now i'm trying another thing , i entered 9 hours endurance race i'm going to leave a spec driver ( its suppose to be me ) to drive 9 hours .

soo see you guys after 9 hours and i will tell what will happen
 
had the same thing happen to me about an hour ago after 4 hours into tsukuba 9hr, and i was entering the pit lane SLOWLY after reading this....so dont know what to do
 
It's just something we'll have to deal with either by just racing the full nine hours or waiting until a patch comes through for the glitch. And I'm going with the latter, racing the 24h LeMans and working towards lvl 40. Going at a different speed or waiting until you get to the pit stalls doesn't make a difference.

Yeap, just tested it out too.
Cancel saved enduro load at start-up = loose it. For me it makes the option 100% useless. Don't ever expect to have 24hours (ok a bit less but still) of straight GT5 time to devote to 1 enduro. Unless psn crashes again for weeks, lol.

that's odd. i was able to resume my suspended 24hr le mans race even after i canceled it on startup and did some arcade races. I was also able to log into the gt life mode without losing the save.

I think you only lose the save if you advance a game day in gt life
 
That could be handy for getting the 200% bonus at the end of it which im still trying to figure out a way to do.
