Game downloaded from EU Store
Firmware 2.41
Custom Soundtrack On
40gb PAL region PS3
(Original HDD replaced with Western Digital 250gb)
Motion control pitch only

Rapier time trial on Sol 2 in Campaign Mode, on first lap when sideshifting across the second speed pad, turbo symbol faded out and disapeared, and turbo was unavailable for rest of first lap. This kept repeating itself on race restarts. Going back to the grid and reloading cured the problem for the next race, but it returned periodically after that. This also happened periodically on a Moa Therma Flash TT in racebox.

I have also seen a tournament points bug, with the same configuration as above, but this has already been noted:

Game region version: NTSC (presumably? I bought it from the American PSN store)
Firmware version: 2.42
Console version and harddrive size: 80 GB w/ PS2 backwards compatibility (MGS4 bundle)
Custom soundtrack, yes or no: Yes (more on this later)
Controller type: DualShock 3 (currently playing with analog sticks+motion control pitch only)

I've noticed a couple of minor repeating online bugs.

No. 1: On two separate occasions, the host of online games has been locked out from making any decisions other than leaving the game. That is, they can't change the track or start the game, they are only left with the option to quit. The first time this happened, the host I was playing with had to quit, which effectively made me the host. As soon as I was made host, the problem carried to me, so it looks like the entire room got locked. The second time this happened, about a day later, it was a few races after I was hosting my own room.

No. 2: There have been a few instances where, while loading a new track, the load animation would chug a little. Upon starting the new track, voice chat and music were disabled, leaving only SFX. There are a few variables that might have contributed to this.

1. Opening/closing the XMB while the game is loading (which I do often to send and reply to messages between races)
2. Enabling "shuffle mode" for custom soundtracks rather than "sequential" (I have since changed it back to sequential)
3. People trying to use voicechat while the game is loading (though I can only offer this as a secondhand observance -- I don't use voicechat myself)

Now, this happened to me three times in one night in the same room. The first time it happened, I quit from the room, quit the game, and re-entered. The second two times, music would reappear at the start of the next racetrack while voicechat sometimes wouldn't pop up again until after a couple of minutes had passed in the lobby (I would see the little voicechat icon appear dozens of times as if people were talking to one another, but I couldn't hear anything). Other contributing factors could be:

• Every time this happened, it was during a tournament.
• I seem to remember at least two instances of this occuring at Chengou Project.

No. 3: Less specifically, the game froze at the beginning of a few online races. I don't have 50+ online friends (the first time it froze, I only had three). I haven't really noticed a pattern to when this happens, but it's very infrequently. When it does happen, though, it's serious. There's nothing I can do to quit out of it but shut down the PS3 by the back power switch.

Console version and harddrive size: PAL 40GB (GT5P Bundle. No PS2 B/C)
Custom soundtrack, yes or no: Yes
Controller type: Sixaxis, Motion Controls Off

Recently I was racing online, and hit the PS button out of boredom during a "Loading Race" screen. That was a bad idea. I pressed it again to return to the loading screen, which then chugged a lot and slowed right down. Eventually, it did load, but on the start grid (Chenghou Project), everyone's ships except mine rose up, then went. The "3-2-1" then started, and I went about 30 seconds later! It was like my game was in the past compared to everyone else's.

....still came 2nd in that race though

Custom soundtrack, yes or no: No
Controller type: DualShock 3 (D-pad & pitch motion controls)
Track: Multiple

In Speed lap mode on a couple of different tracks now, at any point in race, the game will quit to the main menu, menu music will play but the HUD will stay on screen also, over top of the menu, it will also shake periodically (presumably when my ship hits a wall or something), selecting any of the menu options causes the game to crash and i have to hard reboot to recover, only happened 3 times, if it repeats ill remember to get a photo with my phone

Controller type: DualShock 3

The game froze during the results screen as I was opening a message in XMB. Had to restart the PS3 (this time via the touch-power button, not the back switch).

Opening the XMB in between races seems to cause a lot of problems in general, but without voicechat, it's the only way to communicate with people.

"Friends" mode on any of the leaderboards does not show anyone in my friends list, even though I know a few of them have wipeout hd. It only shows my own times.

My friends have reported the exact same problem, none of them see anyone else either -- just themselves.

During the tournaments, if a player is disconnected, voluntarily or not at the end of a race, for displaying results, he becomes last in the race, get points in the last place, and all players finished behind him earn a place and steal the player's previous time record!

I had just started a race in campaign mode (specifically, the single race Anulpha Pass at Meltdown [phantom class]) and as soon as I crossed the finish line from my starting position to begin the first lap, the game instantly crashed to the main menu screen. Except, it was as if the game was straddling both the menu screen and the race at the same time. I could hear both the main menu music and music from my custom soundtrack. I could see the race HUD imposed over the menu. If I pressed left on the controller, the main menu option would scroll to the left choice and the HUD would angle slightly to the left, as if I were still racing a ship.

I tried selecting Racebox, just to see what would happen, and the graphics froze (the music continued). I couldn't give input from the controller, so I ended up shutting down the PS3 by holding my finger over the touch-power button at the front of the console for a few seconds.

Earlier in the thread, "Virtical" has said that they encountered this problem three times, except in that case it seemed to be associated with Speed Lap events.
