Sort of does, seeing that is the benchmark. 👍

Not really, because that test was carried out to my local test server, about 40 miles away, not to PD servers and then halfway around the world back to you.

But, will see how good people connections are locally.
 
Okay, then we will tell everyone to run the ideal settings.


@Siggers posted a massive list of ideal settings. When he switched all of his settings over, his connection was significantly improved.


There are two ports which GT6 uses. We'll need to forward those two ports (although I can't remember which ones they are) and run with uPnP disabled. Everyone who is capable of DMZ'ing their PS3, I still strongly recommend it.


For everyone who can, shut your PCs down, and turn the wi-fi radio on your cellular/mobile devices off. If you have an Xbox One, throw it out the window.


Give your PS3's internet priority. We'll do our best to make these races flow smoothly.


Edit: @nascarfan1400, and @gtpcaine, I repeat: numbers mean nothing to connection on PS3. I have 65 mbps download, and 10 mbps upload. I have extremely low packet loss. And I still appear invisible to drivers who haven't port-forwarded.

Is there a way to set it to Japan? Lol

Numbers. Irrelevant.


Which part don't you understand, please? 1 mbps is fast enough to support lag-free racing on GT6. 65 mbps is 65x that... And you can still have lag. The difference is not in 1 mbps vs. 65 mbps. The difference is port-forwarding, DMZ, etc. Which allows the PS3s to communicate with each other.

Smh.

I'm aware of that. But Mbps does matter because it allows us to know how fast our screens are transferred to everyone else, thus reducing lag. It has to do with location aswell as speed. My speeds are average, but being in US, and you being the only other North American regular, that's why are lag is present to others.

YaShoe, Ettick, you, me, Connor... We've had many, many North American drivers this season.

Regulars.
Cnd has run mostly part time, Shoe ran one race...
 
And your point is?


A majority of our users are in Europe. We have European hosts for a reason. If Blake offered to host, that wouldn't go very well. He actually is the only Australian. We have like 8 Europeans, and 2 "every-round" North Americans. Look at the distribution, and it all makes perfect sense. We need European hosts. That solves the "location" problem.


Then you - and every other driver - can make the difference with port-forwarding.


If I may, I'd even ask @Gravitron for more advice. Please help, Gravitron. :) I know that your advice is better.

You do know what you've said right?

And as for DMZ... I'm still waiting on a video tutorial that you promised.
 
It shows a bit wonky for me too, I'll try to clean it up.

EDIT: While I'm doing that, go look up your router model on google.

I didn't actually improve my connection speeds, but I made it so I rarely if ever now get the error 697 (the cannot connect to host message), and I never have anymore invisible car issues. Just like in gt5 now I should be able to connect to guys like Mel with no trouble (watch me not be able to now that I have said it lol).
The main change I made to cause this I think was disabling uPnP on my ps3 network settings.

Just guessing here but I think the reason this worked was because my new router (I changed it in November) is quite modern and has uPnp also built into itself, so because I had 2 different uPnp settings turned on they were just fighting and conflicting with each other. But honestly I don't really know and that's getting into techy techy detail so that last sentence could just be a load of rubbish...

GT6 uses these ports: http://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt6/manual/#!/onlinerace/portfowarding
I have them all forwarded, but to be honest I don't think it makes much difference.

Nas if you are struggling with DMZ (it's really not hard tbh) then you can just disable your routers firewall altogether and rely on the security of your computer operating system or anti-virus software(e.g windows has windows firewall I think?). But obviously I don't think there's much you can do to protect your ps3 from network attacks, Sony should do a good enough job for you anyway.

Anyway despite all of that I guarantee I will not be able to host (and probably never will) because my raw speed just isn't fast enough - I am not saying numbers because it's embarrassing but just trust me.

As far as I am concerned I am happy for Mel, one of our USA friends, my EU buddies and even Blake to host - although I am not saying that I can guarantee I will be able to connect to all of the afore mentioned.

Hope I helped
