Make sure to run the debug version and send me a log of the incomplete selection, making sure to include the beginning of the log as well.

Ah, didn't realize there was one for 1.1.3. I'll run it from now on and will send you some more results.

I've had 0 problems with the widget on my second account, but on my main account, it has bombed out 5 times out of 5 attempts. I've PM'd you a link to the log.
 
I've only once had an issue with non-full fields since I downloaded the widget what must be 2 weeks ago. I can't find the debug mode (I am on a MAC so don't tell me the Windows instructions as they don't fly here), but it doesn't matter as it seems that the problems are usually obvious.

Temporary Server Issue for me only occurs when I turn on my computer in the morning, it boots up the widget and since the PS3 is not running, it puts out the TSI. Only other issue is the fact that I put up only 5 drivers to go online, so the leaving one aside occasionally ends up in waiting a while to start my own string of races after logging out for awhile.
 
I keep getting errors, it has been working fine up untill now but it can't even start a race now. :(

and also if I go onto the granturismo website and try to race manually it won't let me, it says missing return URL parameter.

The debug mode in the normal Widget won't give you any clues on that particular problem anyway. The special debug-only version gives you much much more info, but I wouldn't run it all the time because the amount of information it logs is overwhelming.

Same here, all day, seems to be a gran-turismo.com-issue.
However, other people in the thread state that all is working fine today.

How many friends do you have in the game? Might be the issue..
 
ok quick question widget seems really smooth and what not but i have a slight issue,

i only have 2 friends that have b spec bobs (5 each) and whenever i setup a race it only sucks in 4 drivers. all from one psn any idea why this is and how i can set it up so it uses all 10 drivers from both psn's?

4 drivers from each = 8 drivers total, or 4 drivers total?

If it's the former, set it to leave 0 drivers free in Widget Preferences.

If it's the latter, please run this debug version and send me a log.

Make sure your browser accepts 3rd party cookies....this fixed it for many here....

I've been getting the same thing since 1st run of the grinder, have no idea if the two things are related. However, it does not happen with safari or chrome, but does happen with IE7/8/9 FF/3.
 
I have realised the problem. My ps3 had logged out of the internet and thats why the ps3 wasn't working, its running now, its not without its occasional problems that it solves itself but at least its starting now.
 
Right now, as you saw in the YouTube video I posted a few pages back, I've hooked up the UI for rearranging friends and drivers. I've also started work on the backend for saving all your settings made in that window, and I've also implemented the setting which automatically reciprocates racing for friends who use your drivers.

Next up is adding the always/sometimes/never use groups to the list and saving settings.

Uh, how does one go about getting on your beta tester list ;)
 
Just switched to Singapore after about a week, or so, of using the Australian server. So far, the load times are much faster.

Same here. Since I switched to Singapore about 20 hours ago, the widget has been consistently running with 22-23 minutes between finishing times. Australia didn't seem to work quite as well for me. I did a few spot checks of the results, and the races I've looked at all had 16 drivers in them as well. Fingers crossed.
 
Could you make this download free? Like run from browzer?
I suppose you could write a browser extension or a Greasemonkey script to automate races... But I see no significant benefit to doing that.

I don't either. That little Yahoo! widget now seems to do exactly what I want it to do. :D

It was running flawlessly till I just killed it, as I had to send a friend a ticket before the reset. Will wait to send another ticket after the reset, and then I'll be switching it back on. Fingers crossed.
 
Thanks man...I left my widget running on my work computer as an experiment tonight so I couldn't see the readout...just switched back here to my home computer and fired up 16 immediately from Ireland....👍
 
I wasn't going to do this until I saw the Pescarolo C60 Hybride pop up in my UCD and I was 3.3 million cr short. I'm now just 800,000cr short.

I'm wondering if I should take a break from actually playing GT5 and let my Bobs amass as much as possible (up to 20 million, if that's possible) then forget about it so I have reserve cash for when either of the Chaparrals come up. Seems like PD not only made the grind a bit easier, but also added a sort of bank...
