I'm playing this one right now and it has only happened on the hard one. You lose most of the control for no reason especially around turns where you automatically stick the of the side wall. Unfortunate being the last rift, but hopefully they'll put in a bug fix.

I've gotten gold medals on all of them. There are a couple of areas that are a little buggy but nothing that stops an overly determined mind from beating it.

Little buggy is an understatement. My char is literally running straight into the wall without being able to progress. Can't move down the tunnel right now. No movement correction is working. On some of the parts with the red markings on the floor, if the character falls in one and respawns he/she will keeping turning into the pit thus continuing the cycle.

I'm sure they're get to a fix though sooner or later.

EDIT: I still managed to get a gold, but I thought I'd just bring it to attention.

I'm having the same problems. I was lucky to get silver medals on all of them because I would just lose control of my character for no reason or get stuck in a wall (by the way, pressing the jump button will release you when that happens). They REALLY need to fix this as it makes it unplayable for me.

The only other bugged activity is the one where you have to pick up and toss balls in order to cause as much mayhem as possible. What the game designers didn't anticipate is someone picking up the ball and running at high speed into people and vehicles with it. You can literally clear gold in that mini-game within seconds which I don't believe is how it was meant to be played.

Just to bump it up, it's still buggy, but I've found that in spite of it, it's still easy enough to get gold in it (even if you end up stumbling a half dozen times). You just have to rely on the bonuses you get from destroying the obstacles. There are a lot of them, so you can maintain your boost for a good amount of time usually. I missed a ton of purple orbs because of how buggy it was, but like I said, I still managed to get gold at least.

I just completed gold on all three of these challenges, but this bug made it extremely painful. I just had to hope I didn't stay stuck to the wall during each attempt. Some moments I actually stopped completely, and only half of those times the game tossed me in the air to reset. This challenge needs to be fixed.

i sometimes get stuck on the wall, but for me jumping clears it, and i can continue.
i also notice that touching the mouse while using keyboard also triggers it, so i just flip the mouse over and only use keyboard while playing speed rift.

thats just for me though, may help you, may not.

I've had it all, stuck to walls, not jumping far enough, boost lasting less than a second. This is a pretty bad activity, the "stunt runs"(Burnout Paradise) of Saints Row IV

It is extremely buggy. My guy literally looped behind the camera and dis appeared while the camera was still on one position. So right now the over determined mind is a lucky one.

The Hard Speed Rift is definitely the most buggy of them all, I have had minor to no issues at all doing the Easy and Medium Speed Rifts, but never fail to get stuck to at least one or 2 walls while doing Hard.

I have also had the issue where I would jump to the far left during a section where the other 2/3s or the track are fall through floors and my character would drift right back to the right causing me to fall through.

If only they knew, this problem would never be fixed.

Still buggy, almost two years later.

Millions of DLC? Yep. 100% working main story content? Nope.

It's now four years since this discussion was opened, and yup, it's still buggy.
I doubt it'll ever be fixed.

2019 and this bug is still in the game. literally ruined an almost perfect run for me because i wasn't able to get the burst because i hit a barricade

Jesus christ, it must be a bug or something
It's unbearable
