It's now March; where is our promised community update?

[lGNAl]

Unlike many in this thread, I feel optimistic about @TJ13 and @Shirrako's posts being correct about the new update showing up tomorrow. *Fingers crossed*

Yeah maybe, my guesstimate is it's going to be in about 9 hours.

 

[Johnnypenso]

I see that you fiercely defend GT6 not only on the graphical field, but on all the other fields, where people criticize GT6... coincidence, or simply you are fanboy?

We are all free to defend or trash PD as we see fit within the bounds of the AUP. Asking someone if they are a fanboy adds nothing to the conversation and is unnecessary.

 

[Master__Shake_]

All drama aside, I hope we do get an update tomorrow. We were promised features in this game, and it's about time PD delivers on this.

 

[ace004]

We need that damn course maker! That alone would probably shut people up for a little as the course maker is worth a lot of content. Bug fixes and community features would be great too, but I think the course maker would be the most valuable at this moment. It seems the more I want theses features the longer they are delayed.

 

[GBRC tyrrell]

Good bloody question. I feel a right fool for paying all that money just to get this game nice and early, with so much missing/unfinished. Never again.

For me, personally, it's all about the bugs and the servers. Fix them and the game becomes playable, and - dare I say it - a joy to play. But yeh, that course maker (provided it's one that allows free reign over the design etc) would defo bring more interest to the series... I can see mock ups of Sebring, Road Atlanta, Thruxton, Interlagos, Dubai... yes please

Confirmed for the new update is the Zenvo ST1 Top Gear Test Track Challenge. All you have to do is make it around the course without breaking or catching on fire and you get the track and car for free use elsewhere.[/qu

 

[eran0004]

Actually, it's just me choosing not to waste my time with people who are unable to see the obvious.

One would think that if there was a ton of bugs, you should be able to mention at least a few very easily. If it's too hard to find the bugs for you to be bothered, then there can't be very many of them.

This.

See above.

You don't have any valid points either, so instead you chose to attack me personally. Well done.

Erm... HERE

Let's count the bugs:

49. Cars that have been de-winged still produce a shadow as if they still have a wing.

68. Sometimes during a qualifier you start in reverse, already moving, or not moving at all.

90. While previewing aero parts, custom parts stay on the vehicle preview even if you select "standard".

126. The player who occupies the first pit position almost always hits an invisible wall on Ascari.

I count 4. Is that a ton? May have missed some, but most items on that list are not bugs. Out of these, the 68 and the 126 can cause troubles. 90 may be tiresome. 49 I've never seen, but it's probably there if you look at it close enough.

See I keep on forgetting that other people are having connection and game ruining glitches. Other than the occasional lockup my game tends to play smoothly. But yes other than those specific bugs I think the course maker would give us the most bang for our buck.

Also...

- tyre wear rate bug after pitting
- split time bug during any online session
- fuel depletion rate bug after pitting
- reversed tyre wear bug after pitting
- large number of screen freezes
- wrong car names being shown on driver list when driver has entered track
- own car being shown as a completely different car when entering track
- karts unable to race at majority of weather tracks
- lack of settings sheets copy/paste/share options (not entirely a bug, per se, but something which needs fixing)
- inability to gauge top speed when manually adjusting transmission, as in GT5
- highly unstable servers (again, not a bug, but a serious issue)


These are only ones that I can think of right now... I'm not in the game right now, as I'm playing something else, but yeh of course - there are not 'tons' of bugs, simply due to the fact that computer bugs have no mass, but there are an annoyingly large amount of them, considering this game ought to really be complete before release, especially so considering there have now been 4 updates.

Hope this helps.

Also, the camber bug as spoken about in another thread. 👍 There are a great many bugs in this game, one just needs to take off the blinders to see them.

 

[acedition333]

If an update is coming soon.... why doesn't PD announce earlier? Seems it just a last minute decision to put it through. Makes them look bad.

 

[TexasTyme214]

There's also the bug where cars with a higher front ride height than the rear produces oversteer.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

I was going to mention that but that bug is still debatable. Some cars it works that way, others it don't. I'm not entirely convinced about the RH bug. Just my opinion of course.

 

[Johnnypenso]

You can add sound issues at Bathurst. I've seen it reported and I've had it happen where the sound cut in and out and sometimes went altogether. Had the track freeze completely twice. Only happened there and not other track for me.

No reset button in the tuning menus
Sliders are wonky and far too sensitive on some of the tuning adjustments
No more top speed field in transmission tuning
No adjustment for the mini-map

Some may not consider these bugs but they were in the last version of the game and all very useful and should have been in GT6.

 

[Lawndart]

More news about services shutting down... They report more on this than any news about updates or what's to come... Seems very backwards in my experience...

I've seen the split time bug but not any of the others. If they really do occur, they can't be very frequent, or their effect is subtle. The four last items aren't bugs.

And even though you may think so, I'm not trolling. I simply don't agree that GT6 is full of bugs, especially not to the degree where it has a serious effect on the game. My experience is that I've played for probably 5-10 hours every week for two months and I've seen a handful of bugs. The only one (!) that had a real effect on gameplay was the timed race finish bug that gave you an incorrect position. That's been fixed.

So stop accusing me for trolling and let's keep a proper discussion. Any case that's too fragile to stand through a proper discussion is too weak to begin with, so I don't know why so many around here are afraid of facing opposition. Instead of arguing for their cases they make up all kinds of lame excuses: "oh, I don't have the time / I have better things to do", "oh, only some people are qualified to see these things (and yet they effect everyone)", "this is a popular belief so it must be true", "trolling", "fanboy", etc.

 

[Devil240Z]

Why are people making such a big deal about the GT5 servers? Much younger games have been shut down much earlier than GT5 is.

 

[NICKname]

Because people still want to play GT5?

 

[Mulan]

When GT5 shuts down I expect GT7P to go live around that time.
Then they can spend less time on GT6, no-one will care.

 

[HuskyGT]

I hope you guys are right about hearing something tomorrow *fingers crossed. I would prefer for PD to tackle some issues with the game, but honestly, I rather have anything. Tracks I think are more valuable than cars. We have a bunch of cars already; we just need a new place to play around with them.

Man, I'm feeling hyped already... This is the time when abusing my F5 key becomes... refreshing.

 

[Vagabond]

when gt5 shuts down i expect gt7p to go live around that time.

And that expectation is based on what exactly?

 

[Fire Yoshi]

Or maybe keep the stockyard; but if PD make it loading faster than it actualy does; it ll be a good improvement!!!

Even if the loading times are much faster, I'll still hate it. Moving cars from the stockyard to your garage and back over is annoying. Period.

 

[fortbo]

Is PD having financial troubles or something? I mean we haven't heard ANY news from them since January. What happened to the monthly car and track dlc? It is getting to the point of being unacceptable with all of the missing features such as the course maker and community features.

 

[Mulan]

And that expectation is based on what exactly?

On common sense from me, i expect them to give us something new. I didnt buy GT6 and they are closing gt5 so i expect
in return a step up for us that have ps4 and were ok with gt5 ad last gt on old hardware and never asked for gt6 on ps3.

You just expect them to put out new games every 6 months just because you tell them to? Jesus Christ I can only hope GT7 won't come out for another couple years if that's the attitude here.

 

[TokoTurismo]

I'm trying to remain optimistic that all the things they promised pre-release are actually going to be released. But every day that goes by my optimism lessens and my skepticism grows. It's 4 days until March hits, and if there is still no update by then it's going to be really troubling.

It really will, but there hasn't been an update in awhile throughout February. There's bound to be something this week.

He also said 1.04 would come 31th but it came 28th. I...checked him *puts shades on*

Haha. True, very true.

Yeah maybe, my guesstimate is it's going to be in about 9 hours.

Good guess, hope it becomes true. 👍
