I know this may sound stupid, but I've caught myself doing this so it's worth a try.

Make sure you don't have multiple widgets running simultaneously. If that fails, try a re-install of the widget.

I'm back up and running, for what it's worth.

Only one widget running. Reinstalled. Still nothing.

Log in aspect is down. Anyone already logged in is still running ala cookie.

Confirmed. Server back on the pogo. Sucks to be offline, but then again, it should be a welcome mark of progress to come.

New events?>!?!?!?!?!?!!

Pretty please!

It's definitely server maintenance. Trying to log in to the official GT site will get you the server maintenance message as well.
 
Um can someone explain to me what I should do to get my friend list to refresh on the widget? I reset my PC and the widget, but no dice.

Also can someone also explain what the concurrent threads does?

Many thanks if you can help shed some light on this for me.👍
 
I hope this is the last outage due to the hacking.

This is from the servers being taken back offline to upgrade the PSN Store. It's supposed to be for just a few hours.

It's been down for me for the last 3 days or so.

At the moment you may just have to wait. When the GT5 site is back up and running, log in and your online (web site) friends list should update eventually - although you'll need to be patient with that too. Then, I find using the 'Force Reauthentication' option on the Grinder works best for me.

The amount of brain power you ask of your computers' processor to do the necessary calculations. Basically, 1 thread would be used for smaller, less powerful processors like a, eg: an Intel Celeron. 4 threads would be used for a more powerful Intel Core i5 or i7. You could of course use just 1 thread for a more powerful processor, but you'd be wasting your time asking a slow processor to use 4 threads.
 
I have used Force Reauthentication on the grinder and all I get now is a server error - unable to connect via the GT homepage too... Sorry to all my b-spec buddies that I cannot host remote races at the minute :(
 
Same problem for me since I forced reauthentication yesterday. I thought it might have been sorted this morning but unfortunately not!

A bit of a waste having put GT5 on standby before I left for work this morning.

Nevermind. I will make up for it when I can next sign in!
 
Funny thing is, I haven't been able to logon to the GT-site since this morning (Site Maintenance).
However, the gadget works even when I do Force Reauthentication.

That's weird..

You have a cookie from before the site went down, and your widget has been able to use that to keep going.

If you don't have it, you can't get it till it comes back up.
 
I'm getting a little nervous, I will be leaving for 5 days on Saturday and was really hoping to get 5 days of non-stop remote racing. I hope it's back up and says up before I leave.

No, as I have uninstalled/reinstalled the widget, ran Force Reauthentication a number of times (to refresh the PSN friends list).

The widget says Site Maintenance for a few minutes, then it starts a race, and it does start the races, once it starts a race everything works fine and it haven't had any problems at all.

I dunno why it's able to logon while via my browser it's impossible for the whole day, and still is.

Or, It's actually possible to logon to the site randomly, but not any of the +100 times I've tried in the browser.

Thank you for clarifying both of those things for me so extensively. Much appreciated.:sly:👍
 
Update: Been running here since 7a CST, no problems. I still can't log onto GT Home, but the widgets been running fine. Might be worth a shot for others to try as well.
 
So I'm leaving on a trip for 5 days and it's looking like the servers won't be up before I leave in the morning. If I place the ps3 in standby mode and leave the widget open will it automatically start races when the network comes back on or do I have to force the login? Rignt now the grinder says click to reconnect. Thanks for the help?
 
Ah, I love the smell of freshly baked cookies...looks like the login server maintenance is over. Let the grinding begin! :)

Thanks,
