Could someone post a list of known bugs with POD and how prevalent they are in the GOG release? I really want to get this game but I'm a little worried about bugs :)

I noticed that it doesn't save settings for shifting gears, I have to re-assign them everytime I start the game.

It isn't exactly a "list", but it doesn't work with the keyboard. I had to plug a joystick to play it. With keyboard, it had a terrible lag, and freezes the computer.

This game was very hard to get it work properly on modern system with retail and oem version, so it's not surprise to see GoG version also has several bugs, but most of them are avoidable and non gamebreaker:

- Map cheat doesn't work.
- Sometime when you press Ctrl + Y to restart the race, it will crash with memory error message.
- Texture pop-in and missing, try Pipeline track.
- Alt + F7 to change resolution will mess all the texture in-game, furthermore you still locked at 640x480 so no need to try this function.
- USB controller can only save button 1 - 4. You can assign button 5 - 6 too but it will not save the change after you restart the game.
- Too much addon vehicle can make load vehicle menu crash,
- Do not use reset button on load game menu if you have more than 8 extra cars, it will make duplicate of your existing base car and make the game crash.
- Random crash when you quit the game.
- Retro cheat to enable mirror doesn't work properly, but then i have seen this problem in retail version too.

I've added wormholewizards' list to the Known Issues section of the GOGWiki. Feel free to update it if/as you discover more bugs (try to see if somebody can confirm them first though). :)

About Ctrl+ to restart the race it can be game-breaker depend on one's mood and tolerance especially when playing championship mode where you badly need to get decent result; also the game only allow you to save after 4 races.

I already forward some of the issues that i mentioned with several screenshot to GOG support team last week. But they haven't reply yet. I hope they can at least fix the texture pop-in / missing, "MAP" cheat and restart function, because dgvoodoo's glide2x.dll doesn't have this bug, so i think GOG team is capable to get this issues solved. Other bugs, i think it was originated from the developer team back in 1997 when the game first release.

It isn't possible to restart a race in any other way? if that's the case then I see what you mean.

(btw, I don't actually own the game though, I'm just keeping an eye on it since it's on my wishlist. ;) )

Nope, no other way. That's why i hope GOG can update their built of glide2x.dll.

Quite surprised to find another POD player from Malaysia :) I am playing it even in 2017 using POD Gold CD version, and map works, odd why GoG one doesnt. Restart Race seems to work if compatibility mode for PODX3Dfx.exe is not enabled.

PodHacks fixed most of the issues I have, but sometimes it causes the restart race problem, which does not happen if I just mount the ISO and not use PodHacks. I also don't have any system hanging issues when exiting the game after using nGlide/PodHacks, compared to when using dgVoodoo.

Why won't GoG fix it up with nGlide and PodHacks, and resolution ini fix. It will make new players experience of the game more positive one.
