I can't update Gran Turismo, what should I do?

[Draggon]

I will try that, never thought of it. Do you think it'll work?

The digital copy is 15 bucks. That might be a cheap way to avoid a laser replacement.

Did you try this?

Gran Turismo®6
Known Issue with Game Updates
Last Update: 18/08/2014

There are known situations where the game fails to update during the installation process, and the message “Installation failed” will appear on screen.

If this occurs, try pressing the PS button to exit the game and restart. Restarting the game a few times may resolve the issue, but if this does not work, it is possible that the Game Data is corrupted; deleting the Game Data will solve the issue.

Deleting the Game Data will not delete any game progress, garage content or credits (as those are stored in your Saved Data), but it will cause the following issues:

- All Updates released since launch will need to be re-downloaded and installed again, this might take a long time depending on the user's network speed.
- All saved Replay Data files will be lost. Replay Data files exported previously from the "Library" page of the [Gallery] menu to an external device can be copied back once the game is updated again.
- All saved Photo files taken in Photo Travel or Race Photo will be lost. Photo files exported previously from the "Library" page of the [Gallery] menu to an external device can be copied back once the game is updated again.

If you decide to delete the Game Data anyway please follow the steps below:

(1) Go to the PS3™ XMB (Cross Media Bar) menu -> [Game] -> [Game Data Utility] folder and press the X button to enter the menu (do not delete any file within the [Save Data Utility (PS3™)] folder);
(2) Select the "Gran Turismo 6" file and press the △ button;
(3) Select “Delete” from the option menu and press the X button;
(4) Go back to the PS3™ XMB (Cross Media Bar) menu -> [Game] -> [Gran Turismo 6], press the X button to start the game and accept to download and install the Game Updates (An internet connection is required).

Borrow the disk from a friend or a game rental shop, don't risk damaging your PS3 when it's possibly a disc problem just yet.

Any luck @The87Dodge ?

I will not be trying it until the weekend, I'll let you know then.

Do you have problems downloading updates and other games? Or is it only GT?
If it's only GT I'd say it's your laser assembly. GT is known for killing them. It can be replaced for around $40(replaced it twice) if you're not afraid of taking it apart. I had both disk(still have them) and downloaded both PS3 GTs after I started having issues, I've not had issues since.
If this doesn't help I'm sorry.

Ryzno, if I download the game instead of buying a new disc, will my problem be solved?

Try it, that is the only way you are going to ever find out if it works or not.

I really hope I won't blow my money and my time on something that doesn't work.

Let us know how it goes.

No. You'll downloading the base game. Updates are separate which means you still have to download it after you launch the game.

 

[Draggon]

Just buy the digital copy. If that doesn't work you need to get your console fixed or replaced.

 

[The87Dodge]

Thank you @fordlaser777 I got GT to work again! I downloaded the game, and it uploaded just fine.

 

[Ameer67]

Better than buying a brand new console at the end of it's lifespan. Glad you have your problem solved, @The87Dodge.

Here's what I suggest. It's a pain in the butt, but it worked for me when I got a new PS3.

Save your game progress (save data) on a USB memory stick. Delete ALL your GT6 game data from your PS3 and start over from scratch - get your PS3 into such a state as if it had never seen GT6 before in its life (this is where I started with my new PS3). Then, load GT6 game data from the disc or download it online. After the game data is installed, start the game. You will receive a notification that updates are available. You must download and install the updates ONE AT A TIME. The only way to do this successfully is to WAIT AND WATCH the download progress for each and every update. (This is important because some of the updates are very small and will download quickly, but you MUST do one at a time!) After the first update is downloaded and the 2nd update starts downloading, CANCEL the download process before the 2nd update is downloaded. In other words, the first update has been downloaded but the 2nd has not. Then exit to the XMB main menu, go to GT6 and press TRAINGLE. You will have the option to install updates. So install the first update. When this is done, exit the game, and go back in. You will be notified AGAIN that updates are available. Then download the 2nd update, cancel before the 3rd update downloads. Exit to XMB and install the 2nd update. And so on, and so forth... until ALL updates are downloaded and installed. Then, load your save data from the memory stick and you should have a fully functioning GT6 with all your game progress.

I don't know how many updates have been released, maybe 12 or 15 or something like that. Point being, it takes some time. But if you want to play GT6, this may be what you have to do.

Hope this helps you.

EDIT: oh snap, what a waste of time... glad you got your game working again.
