This article has a talk page!This page details bugs of Jak X: Combat Racing.
Memory Card Issue#
The game autosaves if it is started with a Memory Card, which does not work properly on certain PS2 models (reportedly most black slims as well as at least one fat model) and all PS3s, allegedly due to the developers not having time to finish the QA process. The autosave symbol blinks on and off indefinitely when the glitch occurs as it constantly attempts to save, which sometimes crashes the game. Upon a reset, the Jak X save data will become corrupted and unable to load, leaving a block of 984kb of undeletable corrupted data on the Memory Card.
A workaround is to play the game with no Memory Card inserted and only insert it when necessary. The Platinum and Greatest Hits editions, as well as the PS4 edition, have this glitch fixed.
Invisible Cars#
Version 1.03 of the PS4 version contained a game-breaking bug where all of the cars' wheels or even entire cars are invisible. Attempting to use a car would cause it to render without wheels and respawn at the last checkpoint constantly, and attempting to use an invisible car would cause the game to crash.
This was patched in v1.04.
