NASCAR The Game - No Body Glitch

The invisible body glitch reared its head again in NASCAR the Game. Despite efforts to patch the game, this sort of thing can still happen to you in multiplayer lobbies, often forcing you to quit out of good rooms (and if you know this game, you know how hard that can be.)

Still, I have to at least commend Eutechnyx for having such an underframe of the car build in the first place. They could have been completely lazy (like some other racing games out there.) And it looks neat, which is why I'm posting it.

NASCAR The Game: Inside Line Glitches - 02

Sometimes there will be glitches with your car online. In some cases, the headlight decals on the car got painted on sideways. Other times, the car had no bodywork at all -- a glitch we saw in the previous game.  It was just a rolling rollcage ...which would be kinda awesome.

At least this time it has an engine.

NASCAR The Game: Inside Line Glitches - 01

I've compiled my collection of glitches from my NASCAR The Game: Inside Line site to crosspost here. This game was the sequel to the 2011 version, and was supposed to fix the glitchiness of the previous game. It did to some extent, but managed to introduce whole new types of fuckupery.

These aren't worth pics, but the game shipped with glitches that reverted a lot of major setup changes to the way the car handles if you tried to change them, like wedge and trackbar. If you tried to pit under a yellow flag in an online race, you'd break the entire lobby. Regardless, cars would randomly disappear in online lobbies, separating cars out by themselves or put into weird sub-races where player A and B could see each other, and player B and C could see each other, but player A and C were invisible to each other.

They've since patched the game, but it's still prone to odd fuckups. First I found was a glitch that let the camera leave the track at the Sonoma Road Course.

You could explore under the track:

Way outside the track:

 And even from far above. Pretty cool.

 On another track, there's a big LED screen in game that shows whatever your camera shows, even if the game is paused in photo mode. This can lead to some interesting designs.
