They could at least specify what the result of the fixes are. Where it improves stability, speed or whatever the fixes did.
What ticks me off is they have time to work on a free to play GT Academy and keep us up to date on how their drivers are doing (like I care) but they don't have time to type a couple of sentences for a change log that affects all of their paying customers 👎.
 
Having issues getting the update here in Aus, I start the game up and it doesnt have any update window pop-up, it just says, "connection could not be established". I'm on PSN etc.

I'm in Aus, getting the same thing, so it's not just you.
 
Who's fussing?

By the way, slightly off topic but has anyone had to download all patches/ updates, and roughly how long did it take?

Installed a HDD a couple of weeks ago... took about 2-2 1/2 hours on a 12 Mbps connection. Took much longer to update thumbnails with 1700 cars.
 
Guys I think the update is about fixing LeSarthe circuit. In the latest X2010 time trial several ppl are exploiting invisible walls to hack their lap times...like 0.00.000...kids most likely.

I still don't get it why would anybody do that 👎 same with the drift events.. It's so stupid 👎 👎 👎

Ban them!
 
It might be something to do with the GT Academy that is on the way. It maybe preparing for the prizes or something else

Let me preface my comments my saying I have played GT series since the 1st iteration was released, and I have enjoyed them all, including GT5 enormously. However, the level of cheating in GT5 is an utter disgrace, the game is broken beyond belief. Maybe it's the community to blame, I'm not quite sure. GT5 was released 1/2 finished and now we suffer the consequences. Best GT6 is made watertight, gloss and glamor doesn't cut it for me, I want a realistic online racing experience.
 
I'm not getting 2.13??? What is going on???

Same here. Then when I go into GT5 I get:

" A connection to the server could not be established. (ID = 2:11) "

Internet test shows all OK, 'account management' comes up in XMB, I can go into Playstation Store, etc.

???
 
Everyone is so fussy, it's a bloody update for peters sake. It was just released too, Abe the update notes are still loading.

I don't think asking what an update did is too much to ask, personally. I don't expect a rundown of the code portions they changed but what areas of the game they fixed wouldn't be too hard.

You are right, its not too much to ask, they should let us know, i should think that its just the final deletion of the hack cars, lol + a huge error by the sound of it.

BTW you guys should know standard PD procedure by now.

New patch 2.13 breaks 2.12

Next patch 2.14 fixes patch 2.13

and we are back to the start with very little done but 2 versions on 👍
 
It's ridiculous how we have to rely on making random discoveries or hackers (with jailbroken PS3s so they can read out game and update data) if we ever want to know what the update does/changes exactly. For now we're left clueless as usual.
 
They may have increased the grip when it is set to real. I was in a dirty Nascar room with grip set to real and noticed there was much more grip in the grass. I normally hate real grip when using my wheel.

Edit: Or racing softs now have even more grip.

So...no additional tuning range for the cars? Nothing to really change things up in the run towards GT6?

Bah. I'll stick with 2.11 then. I'm having a good time with the additional tuning that modding provides.
 
Am I the only one whose friends list won't load? It says I have 0 friends online, and I was just in a room with 3 of them. Even GT5 didn't register them as being my friends.

Don't panic :sly: it has happened to me sometimes whenever my internet connection has been too slow 👍
