the UK that is in Europe.

Not according to people from the UK. :)

Yonis running the latest version now, its better than ever. I have 94 in game friends and it seems to be able to select drivers much faster. Also thank you for keeping me on your friendslist you use my bobs the most out of all my b-spec friends.
 
1.1.3 just doesn't work here, and now I can't go back to 0.9.1 which always worked anymore due to the changes on the site.

Just gets temporary server issue after reserving drivers. I can at any time start a race via gran-turismo.com

Please help.

Hmmm...this morning the widget was pulling 14 racers per race, now I notice it's only pulling 11, are some of the new races restricted to smaller groups? Thanks....
 
Recurring problem: the widget will log in, reserve drivers, say it's starting the race then come up with a temporary server issue. I've restarted and reinstalled, same problem that isn't going away. been doing this all day.
 
I need assistance... my widget can't seem to find other drivers and so it's now only picking two drivers out of the 17 possible ones. Considering they're all my alts and I can see them all fine on the Gran turismo website and profile page, I'm not sure why is my widget only able to use those same two drivers.

Restarting it and manually setting races doesn't seem to help.

Edit: I should note that the b-spec drivers are all from my alts, so they shouldn't be used by someone else atm.

Same for me. And no problems starting races from the site.

The widget even found out once that I had started a race (from the site), and then "temporary server issue" right away after that.

Some more logging, same as before..

Yonis.

Great widget. I just updated to the newest version after the log in issue surfaced after the latest PSN update.

I have a problem though. I like to faithfully check the UCD every 5 races, and this version has gotten rid of the script that tells you how many races you've done. With the last one I could just check the readout and it would tell me I had done 5 races.

So, it would be helpful if you could put that back in, but what would be EPICALLY helpful would be if you added an option that would let the app run races in sets of 5. Call it the car collectors option or something... but I can't use this widget without having some sort of watchdog in it. I'm just setting a timer now since the new online events are all 20 mins.

It is a fantastic widget though!

Sigh... nevermind, I just read the update release notes and figured out how to do this properly. A car collectors option would be great though!

Lovely app but i can't get it to work :(

Can't login on UK servers, says my loging details are incorrect, obviously this isnt the case as the PS3 is logged in and with the same username/pass i can login into Gran Turismo website.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ignore me, updated to new version and all is good now.

How do i get the full 16 people in my races? It's only selecting 14 for the race
 
Hmmm...this morning the widget was pulling 14 racers per race, now I notice it's only pulling 11, are some of the new races restricted to smaller groups? Thanks....

mine just finished a race on indy road course with a full grid. it just started again on IRC and now only has 11 cars. i'm guessing it just ran out of friends to pick from. (this is on my secondary account with only a small handfull of other online b-spec'ers on it)
 
I get 16 in all the races, I would guess if you are only getting 11-14 you need more friends with drivers to choose from.

I'm not, last race had 11, now I have only 7 running. I will keep checking to see if that improves.

20 friends on my list so I find it a little hard to think between them only 6 free drivers.

I'm not moaning, just trying to help pinpoint the issue.
 
I'm thinking that there is a pre-disposed time allotment for filling slots, and any lag in the server, or through the ISP, will limit the number of cars pulled....

It is possible try adding 10 more friends from thee Bspec friends list.
 
Strange. The widget was working earlier on, now it's saying my login is incorrect.

Something tells me PD's trying to stop this widget..

Agreed.
Although that would be a ridiculous waste of resources for them. All it does is save PD's users time. It's not breaking any rule and people could quite simply do the same races manually, just as fast, if so inclined.
 
Does this widget auto accept money from the drivers? My cash has been going up while I use this at work... so it's either accepting the cash, or it's showing me a grand total.

I planned on running this all weekend while I'm out of town, but I'm close to 20 million already. I guess if it's accepting, I can get my gf to go buy a car or two to lower my balance ;)
 
app. is still working great and fast.

can't wait till the big update!!

its just that the site is so buggy, but today seems better.
probably less server load

No. That's a net total. What you have in your bank plus what your Bob's have earned (yet to be retrieved).
