Software Update v1.01 pops out... **UPDATE**

Where have you ever seen a youtube uploader in the XMB? I sure havent seen one.

I believe it's up on the north end of the 'movie' section in the XMB. Something about 'sharing' and then it makes you download some more software.

edit: it's called "Video Editor & Uploader" for uploading videos to "video sharing websites"
It won't take my Eyecreate dancing video, says it's from too old of a software version. Bummer, I would have totally gone viral.
Because of this I can't for sure say it does youtube, but what other 'video sharing website' could it have been created for?

I just encountered a bug too. Was in the used car dealership, looking at cars, all fine. Then I look at the fiat 500, but the car doesn't show up. So I go back and look at 3 other cars, and all the models have disappeared. I'm in a race at the moment but I'll go back later to see if they have come back.

I also had a weird bug in my Yaris/Vitz where in 2nd to 6th gear, there are flames constantly coming out of the back of my exhaust, not just backfire. It only happens in some races, and it doesn't always happen from the beginning of the race. I THINK it might start happening when I bounce of the rev limiter for too long, but its kinda weird. It disappears if i lift off the accelerator a little, its only on 100% throttle, and not in 1st gear...

Edit: It might be worth someone making a bug topic, not for people to whine, but with the possibility of PD coming across it, however unlikely that is.

What an AWESOME bug!
 
The game is available at my local bestbuy but my Amazon order just shipped, damn! 24 more hours but i do get the the SLS day 1!
 
How long does this update take? Been waiting an hour and I'm only on 35%. I need some GT5 =[

You do know that the brake upgrades were basically useless in GT4. There was extensive testing done, and the brake upgrade did little to nothing to help the car slow down.

They could have improved that and give us real brake upgrades, I guess it's too much to ask for. I've always enjoyed buying the brakes upgrade in GT4 even knowing it did little just for a physchological boost and that upgrading your car's brakes are pretty common for those who like to attack tracks.
 
I've seen many tests of bbk's that actually increase the stopping distance due to increased unsprung weight and brake balance that is a bit off from stock, but they always greatly out perform stock brakes on the track when the extra cooling keeps them from killing you.

A proper BBK will optimize the brake bias for a particular vehicle and thus improve stopping distances over the OEM setup.

Also, many OEM setups will experience fade with ONE high speed stop -- so it's not just a problem on the track.

Weird.. have you checked GT Auto to see if your engine needs rebuilding? Just a thought. :nervous:
 
Have to say after spending the afternoon obtaining licences I thought I would have a look at the online features. Now to say im mortified is an understatement. Where on earth are the leaderboards. Surely with GT5P having online leaderboards you would expect GT5 to have them.

Seriously hope another update is coming. Only having private/open room functionality is pretty basic these days. Even silly arcade racing games have leaderboards.

Some of you may think who cares. Well there is a large number of people coming from Forza who have been used to a massive amount of leaderboards in all their games. Just racing online isn't enough because many of us love hotlapping.
 
Leaderboards are very important. I know lot's of people who will be disappointed if they are not in the game. Personaly I have been hoping for more leaderboards than in Forza.

The way GTP tracks each car on the tracks and seperated the 2 physics models was cool. Only problem was no tuning. I like that in Forza you can race and hot lap at the same time in your own tuned car. I would like to see this in GT as well and if they had top times for every car per track would be great even better if that was also broken down by performance ranges for each of the cars. Would give us hot lappers tons of stuff to keep us busy for years.

I was also kinda hoping for an A-Spec leaderboard assuming A-Spec points would be like they were in GT4
 
So it looks like the game got "leaked" a bit early so it could have a few dozen unpayed testers finding bugs before the launch day! :lol:

I think they may have their work cut out. I've only been playing the game for a few hours and I have found 2 bugs. I'm sure many, many more will surface over the next few days.

Edit: By "few hours" I mean 6 hours :P
 
How so? 💡
It did happen after upgrading my car, but surely it's not supposed to spit a permanent flame out of the back for the whole race?

Did you add a turbo? Sounds like your ECU needs to be tuned, or at least that's what it could mean in real life:)

lol I think your yaris is too rich at wide open throttle & all the fuel it's not burning inside the combustion chamber. you may wanna lean it out a bit or you could wash out your cylinder walls. your AFR may be 8:1. don't be surprised if it starts smoking soon. also you may want to adjust your boost by gear settings since this is happening 2nd to 6th gear but not in 1st gear.
damn PD upgrading this ECU settings after the update if they're not careful all cars are gonna start blowing up :)

Glad someone else thinks like me.

Like you say the more leaderboards the better. I was hoping for leaderboards in A-spec, special events, licences aswell as those for each car in the time trials.

Im not knocking anyone on here but if this happened on Forza.net there would be an outcry. Yet on here nobody seems to be bothered from what I can tell. I really hope this is addressed because its like i've gone in a timewarp back to 2004!

Well if it's a new car it will be under warranty. Take it back to the dealer.
 
Where have you ever seen a youtube uploader in the XMB? I sure havent seen one.
If you up loaded the photo and movie option for the PS3 then you'll see it a the photo area in the XMB.

Yep.. I loved GT4 but I really hated that it did not keep track of your race times nor laptimes. My buddy and I were writing down our lap times so we could remember and brag to each other about them. I'll bet the subject of leaderboards came up at least 100 times between us.

Even NFS Porsche Unleased kept the top 10 local times for each track.
