Just finished playing for about an hour and a half with a bunch of Zoners. My observations/experiences:
1) Had the "freeze up at the autosave info screen" deal happen, which was solved by logging out of PSN before loading the game, as already reported.
2) Plenty of lag and a lot of difficulty executing barrel rolls in the first room I was in.
3) Not nearly as much lag and much easier barrel roll execution (still not as easy as usual though) in the 2nd room I was in.
4) The bomb proximity problems have been fixed.
5) Mines have a bright green glow to them now, making them much easier to spot from a distance and in poorly lit sections of track.
6) The steering seems to have been tweaked slightly, as I had a noticeably easier time maintaining control of my ship and my lines. Either that, or I had a REALLY good day lol. I'm very curious as to whether or not anyone else feels the same way on this one.
7) Randomness of weapon pickups has been tweaked? I don't know...something seemed different. Maybe they give you what you need a little more? Not really sure...
8 - Oh, of course, I also experienced the little in-game micro-freezes on numerous occasions. Not more than twice during one race though...and sometimes not at all. Definitely has to be fixed though, as I flew off the track on Sol 2 a couple of times thanks to those little freezes.
9) Tried spectator mode and it was horrible. Somethings clearly wrong with it, as everyone I watched (good pilots) were all over the track, crashing into walls, going THROUGH walls, etc. Clearly not working properly.
10) Voice chat is WORSE, which I didn't think was possible.
Overall, I had a blast racing, even with the bugs that need fixing. Also, I concur with Soccermom completely on the whole server/bugs thing. We definitely have to be patient. This is just how it goes with these things. It will all be sorted out soon enough, for sure. I'm very happy with the direction SL went with these improvements! Lastly, I found it funny that the only badge I seemed to be getting (and I got it a whole bunch of times) was the "speed pad" badge. I assume that's for the pilot who hits the most speed pads...never realized I was so speed pad conscious or that I hit more of them than most folks (at least of the Zoners I played against tonight). Found that to be interesting. I'd really like a detailed breakout of all the badges to be posted soon!
