1.02 Update live!

[gambleboyen]

anyone experienced the stockyard car wipe in 1.02 yet?

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

My personal BGM is still messed up. Not as badly as before, but I've had a few races on 1.02 where the music didn't play. Menu BGM works just fine, but Racing BGM still needs to be fixed.

 

[granturismo2014]

I been listening to- and adjusted my personal music from day one v1.00. In the fast option menu at a paused race. That what you talking about?

No, in the sound settings it adds the volume for personal music making it louder(150) or quieter (0) over and above race menu and replay bgm settings. They added this slider bar in gt5 after you were able to play personal music. FYI really good quality music stuff over 320kbps in the 1200-1600kbps range sound quiet in the game when played. So this is a must have feature. You probably didn't notice because you are not using the large theater settings which make the already quiet music even quieter.

Downloading now, 1255mb. I guess I'll check to see if the 20mil "trick" still works.

Hopefully this fixes whatever issue is causing both the stockyard wipes and corrupt saves (happened 3 times to me, luckily I always backup saves).

Will update post in a bit.

Have people actually already receive their GTR from the academy participation?
I didn't have time to gold them all, but I did 'participate' so I was wondering if I would get one.

Cheers!

 

[gambleboyen]

As opposed to 1.01 which was corrupt 5 times before I got it to install, 1.02 downloaded and installed fine. I also had the black screen and had to restart the PS3 after the mini updates, but everything worked.

 

[play3man]

Now is possible to rewind replay in arcade mode

 

[GENERALSAVANT]

Not from what I've gathered, it's just like the 125 PD karts. Maybe slightly more grip but that could be my imagination after driving road cars with CS tires.

The Redbull juniors should create some great spec racing in the near future, very fun car. The great sound plays a big part in that though. We need sounds like that for tuned Subaru's etc.

I just raced the red bull jr car and that was fun! A spec car with low HP and high grip. Well I finally got close to what I've wanted for years. I love the feeder series formula IRL and now we get a close approximation in game. And the sound of 16 cars barreling into turn one with all the downshifts is music to my ears. Bravo PD

 

[jacnob]

Have some of the MR cars been tweaked in 1.02? The Stratos feels a bit more stable stock (as in I bought a brand new one from the dealership), but I'm not sure; it may be me changing up the brake balance (for the first time) and my driving.

 

[Jayson619]

HSV-010 GT 15th Anniversary '11

The Turbo setting still not fixed (cannot select High RPM Turbo even after it was bought).

 

[replicant55]

Is this my only or others to, BMW M4 when i have steering view all internal and dashboard in car has tottaly black? On my others cars there has no that kind black dashboard!

If this is about that new BMW, interior is not yet available. PD is going add it in near future.

Full interior on the M4 will come in a later update.

How/when do we get Kaz' GT-R GT3 academy car?

 

[iainoflo85]

How/when do we get Kaz' GT-R GT3 academy car?

Go to the Nissan dealership and a few pages towards the end you'll see it. I think it's priced at 350k, but maybe it's more.

The '13, '12 and '11 are all in there, and I think all were used by Kaz.

 

[regnar]

HSV-010 GT 15th Anniversary '11

And I thought it was me, tried to purchased it, but message said I owned it already.

I think Phil meant the free one for taking part it GT-A.

How/when do we get Kaz' GT-R GT3 academy car?

Not a clue. Everything surrounding its delivery is a bit vague, just like any other delivery service. Sometime between now and whenever and could be delivered between 08:00am and 21:00pm.

I know he was, and that's the only way to get it if it didn't appear in your garage after the 1.02 update. It's the same one that's in the dealership, it's not a special car that only a select few can get.

Ahh, OK.

I know its not special, it's just free.

The 1.02 patch introduce the possibility to map a controller button for RA function for all the controllers as in GT5.
Unfortunately the RA fuction is bugged and works fine just in career mode and in single race mode.
In Online mode you can recall the on screen display of the RA function but no value can be changed: every function (TCS, ABS, ASM, Front brake balance, Rear brake balance) is obscured.
In "free run" from garage just TCS value can be changed.

That looks intentional to me - not caused by a coding error.

I should agree with you if I will try to change driving aids value in a room with no driving aids allowed, no in a room with everything allowed.
Moreover why I should not change my brake balance from the RA menu.

PD do a lot of weird stuff, who knows what rationale is behind some of their decisions.

 

[eSZee]

I see there's yet another small update. That's #2 after 1.02.
Any ideas what has changed?

edit
Guessing it's the Hudson Hornet seasonal that was added?

 

[Tired Tyres]

New update when I got home from work. GT-R GT3 gift for taking part in the academy 2013 challenge arrived!

I just got mine, out of nowhere. Started up my game and the first screen I get is a spinning GT-R "awarded for participating in GT Academy 2013"

It is, there's also a seasonal for Alfa Mito

 

[ch3ng]

PD should also at least get some kudos for listening too, no? Mistakes always happen.

PD made a bad design decision and integrated microtransactions at the same time. Do you really think it was a mistake? I think Sony thought they can milk the cow.

 

[Lawndart]

The redbull event was a nice surprise. And good racing! I can't wait for AMG academy and GT academy equivalents. But I do think these are more special events than actual career events...

I'd prefer they add proper series races, enduros, and more progressive career type events in the career section and move the one off unique events to special events. Just seems to make more sense.

But we did get 2 new cars and some good bug fixes so its good progress, progress we weren't expecting so soon.

The MiTo was there yesterday, before today's update.
