Is anyone getting any decent race or is it all one or two other cars. Somethings wrong. The online is what makes this for me personally if online play is going to be like this I'm not interested in continuing with the series and I have played the original through gt5p.
 
lol, I was just about to post this.:sly:

Yes.

I haven't had more than 6 in a race since Thursday, not acceptable considering I've been in organized races featuring 7-10 drivers matching simultaneously.:grumpy:

:yuck:

🤬

Try suzuka 700pp world event 👍

Just had several races with full grid, just join xx08/xx38 or xx.00/xx30 .... shouldnt be a problem then 👍

I haven't played for a few weeks, but I'm no real competition loss. :sly:

Many people are tired of running the same races over and over again. I know I only usually race GT5p 1 or 2 hours a week these days and tend to stick to hot-lapping. I've been playing alot of GTR Evo and Race 07 instead.
 
I had an event 03 race last night... tried for an hour to match up in the World event and failed time after time. We tried GTP schedule and odd times and kept ending up in seperate races with only 4 or 5 other cars.

We did eventually managed to hook up later in the night, but it looked to me like there was something amiss with the servers as I've had no issues in the past like this.
 
well i dont have any matching issues, the only issue i have is that there are barely any drivers online anymore, i remember back in the days...about 4-5 months ago grids were full in either events ... sad

maybe PD are experimenting with the servers as part of the GT5 preperation and testing
 
Yeah and even more problems with Phil on Friday.

The thing is, I logged in to race at the exact same time as something like 5 of my friends were racing, and I ended up in a race with ONE other driver, when I knew full well there were GTP, GTRP, TEW and other untagged drivers competing at the same time.

This has been happening to me all bloody week, so I would not use this as another excuse to worry about GT5P dying online.

All the best

This was happening to me as well. I was waiting at the FF 550pp matching for about an hour until I got frustrated and left. Can't imagine no one wanted to race.
 
There is a problem with the matching system!:mad::mad::mad::boggled::boggled:

There is an event that hundreds of us race every Sunday (NTSC) and have raced every Sunday for over a year now. This past Sunday exposed that there is a flaw in the matching system. We had text chat going and each room was nicely stuffed. Times are scheduled and we press go. We all ended up in split rooms. Some rooms had a max of 4 drivers, others had 6-8. This went on all day!!!

THIS HAS RUINED: racing events, practice for an upcomming 12hr endurance race, and just matching with your buds for some casual track time.:(:banghead:

If you experience this problem please file a complaint to Sony via email explaning the problem.

Thanks all,

Anybody thought the newest PS3 update might be the problem?

Nothing seemed wrong until then.



We have explored that possibility and that doesn't seem to be the cause of the issue.

This problem first started to appear last Thusday July 16th in the evening PST.
 
This deal really pisses me off :mad: for the past 3 days nothing but trouble finding friends, yeeeesh. I don't know what it is or why it's hapening but I don't like it at all.

I hope the powers that be can clearly see that we are not happy :(

My guess is some tuning and experimenting for when gt5 comes out, so hopefully it will be resolved soon. On a bright note I've noticed less lag in the races lately but that does me no good when it's just against a ramdom stranger ;)

Who is this "we?"

Not everyone did the update when it was 1st available, and when was the update 1st available?

I started having problems on the 18th. "We" might want to do more investigting.
 
I tried to hook up with Arora/Erik yesterday evening to race in the 700PP Suzuka world event. After about 1,5 hour we gave up because we couldn't match. Strange things happening, especially since normally it's so easy to find each other trackside ...

Try suzuka 700pp world event 👍

I must admit I jumped ship in a race with you where I was host, but there were only the 2 of us left and obviously you were fooling around like me so I hope you don't mind too much :embarrassed:

No problem 👍


Tried so hard to get a decent race yesterday, but all I got was 2-3 people. I know there is plenty trying on my friends list... Really hope this is fixed soon!

I did the 2.8 firmware within two hours of release (about two weeks ago, I'll see if I can find my post about it), and had no problems until Friday the 17th.
 
I'd not played this for months and months (perhaps not even this year at all) but decided to have a shot at it again over the weekend. I found that the matching process was taking much longer than i remembered and when i did eventually get a race, either the Beginners @ Daytona or Intermediate @ Eiger, i had no more than 4 opponents and often just 2. When i tried some of the Pro races i kept getting an error message after waiting a good 4 or 5 minutes for a match :(
 
Has anyone from TeamGT piped in regarding matching issues or does their system still work?

Not that I know of... Seeing all these posts makes me a bit suspicious though... I cannot say Ive had problems though because I have not played the past 2 or 3 weeks... but judging from what Ive seen here it sounds bad...

It's bad... REAL bad.

NA players would flood a race with up to 16 people getting into a race together through clock matching regularly. Now, maybe 8 or less are matching together. Sony has yet to acknowledge they've done anything which they clearly have.
 
I tried Sunday night to get into a HSR 800 (expert) race, had to try about 5 times before I didnt get a lost connection with sever message, and when I finally got in got booted off again after 1 lap. Have'nt tried since then.
 
TeamGT private rooms??? I hope not.....

I posted on the previous page that I failed to get in a race in an unusual way and when I checked my players met list it did list a TeamGT member as the player I would have met if I had been in the race.

Hey friend, looong time no race.

They managed to screw things up royal for sure. I hope there's a good reason for this because Sony is killing the remaining dedicated fans of Prologue. It's a damn shame. :grumpy:

I mustve missed that post... :scared: But this doesnt look good at all... there has been no announcement of anything going on and people are not getting into races... which is what was predicted in the TeamGT thread... Im going to check tonight how it goes with matching... see if I have the same problem as well....
