I'm on GMT -3... Hmm I can wait for the update then tomorrow will be a caffeine massacre at my desk lol

At least going by the last update, maintenance started at the usual time and the update was up within the hour. Servers were still down after that though. @Shirrako said maintenance would start at either 3 or 4AM GMT, I'm led to believe it will be 4AM as that is when the usual scheduled maintenance is to begin.

That being said, I'm gonna say that the update will probably be released by 5AM GMT(Midnight EST). I'm excited to try the new track, and I can't wait to see what other new content is added if any. Above all of that, I'd like to see some of the major bugs fixed with the game(especially the pit stop and tire ware since they effect my league).

Thank you Shirrako for sharing your information with us!

4 of the 7 seasonals expire this week and registration on the leaderboards ends on the remaining 3 seasonals in two days. I can't wait to see what comes this week. :cool:
 
The January update was released on a Tuesday night. Don't stay up waiting for it tonight.

24 hours goes past and 20% more GTP members go "Old Yella" on us...

Oh the humanity.

Wonder what car people will use first on the new track? - Probably be a Time Trial with some new car - but if not... I think I may fire up the Jag.
 
What bugs? If there is a ton of them they must be good at hiding.
Every time I join a lobby at Mount Panorama with more than 6 people, my PS3 freezes... In split screen the throttle and brake indicators don't work on the second screen.
 
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.

OK, the last four aren't bugs, perhaps.

But I'd really like to know how you've not come across something as common as the tyre wear/fuel depletion pit bug... I guess if you don't take part in the longer races then you've probably not taken a pit stop - fair enough. But GTP, and the wider GT community, sometimes do race in slightly longer races which do require a pit stop to be made. In fact, a lot of the leagues and clubs that feature here on GTP organise and take part in races exceeding an hour in length. It's likely that during these races a pit stop must be made and it's at this point that you'll notice your tyres wearing a lot more than they did before the stop, your fuel depleting at a faster rate than before your stop, and the wear being reversed from the way it was before the stop.
This is the case in both online and offline mode so it's unclear how you've not come across this, as pit stops are required in some of the longer races in A-Spec mode, too e.g. the 15 Laps of Brands Hatch and the 24 Minutes of Le Mans. But these are Super License races and perhaps it's just the case that you've not played this portion of the game just yet, which would explain why you've yet to come across these bugs.

Apologies for accusing you of trolling, but it did seem that way, as it's hard to believe that somebody would not have experienced the very common pit bug.

More bugs I've noticed - if they can be called that:
- on the first long straight on Mount Panorama, if you look behind you, you can see all sorts of graphical glitches happening on the fenced area directly behind you (I do believe this is true of quite a lot of fenced areas on tracks throughout the game);
- sometimes, when exiting the pits at Nurb GP/F, the screen will remain black for a few seconds whilst the car makes its way onto the track, resulting in possible contact with other cars;
- continued replay display issues when changing from one car to another (even though this was apparently ironed out in an update);
- some shadowed reflections on cars appear to be very jagged;
- during the 15 Laps of Brands race in the Super License portion of the game, during the pre race replay camera, the view is very buggy and it appears as though there is a large drop in frame rate, temporarily;

And this is one is potentially damaging to your PS3 system:
- multiple screen freezes, which result in the user having to power off the console, only to be presented with the Hard Drive restore function once the power is restored.

This has been bugging me for a while now…

But is it just me, or does that water REALLY not look very good…?
Placeholder, waiting on an update. :D

I'll probably use my replica of my real world car. Or maybe the X2014 junior... :D
 
I'm not bothered what happens tonight so long as someone posts the ITS HAPPENING pic/gif because I like when that happens. Carry on.

I'm holding out and hoping that the biggest reason for the delay in updates is that the PS3 is a BEAR to program for.

That said, the PS4 is a LOT easier, and so building this game into the 4 seems relatively easy, and may happen a lot sooner than later.

We shall see. I hope the update is before midnight of the 28th.....

Did someone say the GT Academy will be on the 4? I haven't looked, but I think I saw that somewhere.... ?
 
Any chance this is gonna happen tonight?? Still awake here,can't sleep.

I still think so, a few people have said that we won't see an update until tomorrow, @Shirrako mentioned numerous times that it will come during the scheduled maintenance tonight. I could have sworn that 1.04 came out around 11:30PM EST on a Monday, but I've been told it was Tuesday. Who knows, it could come out when ever PD feels like, I don't really think there is a set schedule. Another theory I've seen mentioned, is that it'll come when the seasonal events for the Corvette Stingray GT Concept and the Mercedes VGT Racing run out in just under an hour.

According to a source, it's happening 5 minutes ago.

Shirrako mentioned earlier today that it would be either 3 or 4AM GMT. I think we still have about an hour to go, as the regularly scheduled maintenance doesn't start until 4AM GMT.

Is his "source" the same as before?
 
I've got no idea, was his "source" reputable in the past?
If I'm not mistaken, the "source" was off by a few days on a previous prediction.
I could have sworn he had a profile post predicting update 1.03 or 1.04 but it was removed within the past week.
I could be mistaking him with some one else but I don't think I am.


But like I said before, saying there will be an update this week is a pretty safe bet if we're to take PD's word.
