[QUOTE="phreaker47, post: 45583, member: 853"] Okay, this now happened to me on the VITA last night, and I was pretty upset about it... I had over 36 million... it would have brought me closer to the top 10... so, knowing about the bug and that it has been reported on more than just the PS3 version, I made sure not to press any buttons at all during the sequence leading up to entering my initials... and then, IT HAPPENED ANYWAY.... the TPA "Enter initials" overlay came up, but I was still waiting for Taxi's display to catch up so that I could start cycling through the letters. But BEFORE that could happen, the game decided to start a new game all on its own. The display sets to "00" and a game starts... TPA's overlay is still on the screen... and ANY button I press acts as the machine's "START" button, so I end up with a 4 player game started. At that point, I'm completely screwed. My 36 million point game can't be registered. It's gone. Is this going to get fixed? It's evidently affecting ALL versions. Can it be that TPA is somehow sending the start button to the ROM? If that were the case, it should be fixable... seemingly similar to the Monster Bash Frankenstein bug that was fixed a while back. Another quest for a high score tainted or ruined by a game ending bug. First Elvira, now this. [/QUOTE]
