[NE-21194400] Error

Yes, yes there is, We got it early the, 20th Anniversary Christmas Surprise is the online only saves and wonky servers, However this only got unwrapped a day or so early :sly:

It's an elaborate rouse!!!! The whole thing GT Sport is just a Beta test and we're all going to wake up to a new GT7 tomorrow morning!!!!!

(or maybe just a track....or a car).

But seriously, there is something wonky in the message to us. The explanation is that the GT servers can't connect to the PSN servers. Why would GT servers need to connect to PSN servers for saves? Wouldn't it simply prevent us from playing online? Maybe it's an all or nothing system.
 
Still not connecting, I'm starting to wonder if this is another DNS server attack.

Its happened before & it could be happening again.

Got excited by those above saying they were on in NA, tried. Spammed the re connect again, still noting. But now there’s news from PD
 
Began having issues last night, but got on after about 10 minutes of trying. I've been trying on-and-off for about an hour and a half this morning, but no success. Az. USA
 
Still down here in SA. Well this should raise a big enough stink to convince them that online saves for offline progress was a doomed idea from the start. Or let's hope so. 💡
 
Good morning all, I see it has not been resolved yet.
I guess I'll join spamming the reconnect button again. I got it to work for a few hours last night. I guess it's only going to get worse from now :/ The holidays, when you finally have time to play as much as you like, to only stare at a server down message.
 
Currently we are experiencing an unstable connection from the Gran Turismo Sport servers to the PlayStation Network servers.
.....then trying to manually “Reconnect to the Network” a few times.

Ok, but has not worked yet for some, so how long to fix the real problem ?
 
I just gave up... few times it tells me about error, after that it just tells that I need to be online... WTF?!?!

Because PD as always bend the truth, Oh yes we're going to allow players to play the game offline.

They forgot the mention you can play all you want just not save anything.
 
It goes offline when most people are home and trying to play it .. it will take a while before PD people dress up and run to their office to see what's wrong - it's Christmas Eve tho.

Down in Romania as well.
 
I thought about this too. Then you have to deal with two game saves. To many issues I think. The solution is to keep the servers running and perhaps have a secondary back up servers located at a different location like big companies do.

There will be only one save.

The save on your local HDD would be the same as this one on the servers.

Your local save will be updated regularly and uploaded to the servers if the connection is working, or uploaded to the servers after the connection comes because of a failure.

So, you have to deal with only one save, not two!

Now - as it is, you have no local save at all.

Everything relies on the save that's on the servers.

That means, you can save your game progress if the servers are running and not at all if the servers are down for any reason.

That obsoletes the reason to play GT sport, as your progress will not count the next time you start the game and the servers are down again.

I mean, what's the reason to play if you lose all your money, mileage points or even gifted cars, if everything will be gone if you restart the game after one hour and online save doesn't work again. ;)

Can I please ask you SnowLeopard, how to reboot your PS4?
Hold down PS button for the mini-menu to pop-up and under Power, select Restart instead of Enter Rest Mode.
Except it was pure coincidence that it allowed me in as I can't get in today... no matter, off for holidays.
