So I'm in arcade mode, hard level, on the test course with a Corvette Z06. It's a three car race - a RUF, TVR Griffith and me. We're drafting, swapping places, yadda, yadda, yadda. Then on the last lap, back straight, the Griffith falls way back. I finish (second place by .064 - nuts!), and the griffith is in last place with no finishing time. As my car continues around in auto mode, I see the griffith stuck on the back straight like it stalled. It never finished!
What would cause it to hang up?
 
it crashed and got stuck in the wall on the straight? Ive done that to some AI myself
 
I have done that to myself. For some reason the F1 cars seem to get their wheels stuck in walls when you ram up against them. Another GT3 Glitch.
 
Taht has happened to me once, I was driving my Castrol Supra on Tokyo Endurance and my car hits the wall and the wheels lock (I can't steer anymore) and i stop on the track. I had to redo the whole race even thogh I was more thaan halfway done! That's messed!!!:banghead: :banghead: :mad:
 
yeah. i've seen this too. i was doing some rally race against a lancer when i notice that he's not going anywhere on the radar(?). so i finally get to him and i see that he's "stuck." he rammed up against a wall and he couldnt get loose! so i just took my sweet time and finished the race, laughing everytime i passed him. :lol: :lol:
 
That's weird...that used to happen rarely in Mario Kart 64. For no reason, one of the dudes would stall and just restart about a lap later or so.
 
Happened to me one time in a rally race but when I started going back the car started moving again so i turned around and finished the rcae lol

It was a used TVR, the guy before GT3 bought it toasted the clutch in it, so therefore the tranny blew on the last lap, what a bad day for that guy. O well, did you go back and give him a ride, atleast to the pits, I would hope.
 
in one of the professional series races with a toyota gt-one, one AI bumped into the toyota and the toyota was stuck for the rest of the game on a guardrail. lol. it happened twice..it was on the reverse seattle course

That happens all the time. They try to shove 3 of them around that corner 1 sometimes 2 of them get stuck. Sad thing is they arnt even at a point where you would hit them going into that corner. You know what i meant by that last sentence

Yup, happens ALOT. I was in Arcade hard mode on seattle II and on the FIRST turn i SLIGHTLY bump into the gt40 race car and it gets suck on the right side of the wall for rest of the race...hope gt4 isnt buggy like this.

It's like the cars suddenly lose their reverse gear when they go into the walls...maybe the driver's left foot gets crushed. Heh.
 
Personally I have not seen this alot, usually the AI get back on the track somehow ... have not watched a replay to see HOW they do it, but I am usually so far ahead that I don't see what they are doing haha :lol: Just joking ...

B.T.W I started my game over after some @#$-wipe wiped my game, funny that I only have cars I never had in my previous game ! At least it makes it worthwhile doing all over ! :banghead:
 
yeah that happends, in the endurance race i try to do it on purpose in curte de azul. has anyone every notice like sometimes when you hit the wall or something that the car turns around for you?
 
No I have not seen that yet ... weird ! :odd:

Let's face it, that damn AI is as dumb as granny's in a Ferrari ... hopefully they will be better in GT4 ... :rolleyes:
 
I also hit the GT-40 on the first corner in seattle II but he got of when I was going down the hill near the end of the track. There must be something wrong with the GT-40 racing on that track!
 
I have never seen any AI stuck anywhere ... guess it depends on which GT3 you are using, maybe the NTSC one has more bugs or something ? :confused:

Sometimes, on midfield or another track, if i am standing still, i turn around 720 degrees!!!???I don't know how, it is if you are on the white line along the track.
 
i think if you hit the brakes when you are on the wall at Monaco... it will just spin. I suppose that was added on purpose because it is kind of a narrow track. someone would manage to get stuck... somehow
