How paralysing is this for a glitch?!
Recently, every time I tried to update... after pushing OK... my PS3 would would reboot, then do its scary message where I think my harddrive has disintegrated. Once 100%, Everything works perfectly fine until I try and do the same thing to get the same crap result. It was stuck in a loop!!!
Then I figured out a had to push X within a couple of seconds in order to make it work, which is not actually possible when you have a T500RS spinning round in calibration mode, the buttons just doesn't work!!
I was "offline" for a couple of weeks until I read about the "right" way of doing the update. Pulled the plug, and went wireless controller, the download begins and I can enjoy another fine update which is going to improve my this game.... THANKS PD!!!
But then, just when you smiling and ecstatic, it does something that made me shout and scream, the PS3 freezes out while doing the download... usually towards the end at about 97-98%. Have to manually turn off, wait a while then turn back on. Its stuck in another loop!!!
Another one its done in the past, which it hasn't even got to yet. is that the downloaded update would magically get corrupted while installing...this would happen at any random %. The first time I tried to setup a 3 screen 180 degree periphery, it literally took me the entiire weekend to update two ps3's. I played for 15 minutes.
In addition to a lot of patience as I have to update 3 PS3's, I also pay per GB for my ADSL to guarantee me the fastest speeds and pings, so you can't even begin to imagine how much this is actually impacting me financially. It wouldn't suprise me if between that and the DLC... I've bought my GT collection twice over!!
Then obviously, as a result of all the above, my ps3 is "offline" while its actually "online". Doesn't make sense but that means I have no access to online events or any kind of online features. They've pretty much taken 99.8% of the game away from me!! Having this game not working online, is the equivalent to not having a playstation 3
My rig is literally collecting dust, which is a trajedy after all the time I spent creating and evolving it. My plan was to make lots of money to buy lots of cars then go online as I have been doing for years... I can honestly say I never reached that point, and haven't gone online once but have been doing all the special events and timetrials.
I've been extemely patient with PD through the entire Gran Turismo Series, the amount of glitches I've literally seen in front of my eyes from GT5, because I have two rigs alongside each other is hilarious, until you realise how crap it makes the experience which invariably takes away from the game. I've documented tons of weird anomalies, from not being able to match a certain interior view, different power readings between cars, different number of online entries in races, ghost drivers for one player... you notice so much more when there's two screens meant to be doing similar things.
Please someone tell me theres a simple fix for this, I seriously should not have to google it.
This is complete and utter BS from PD, Sony, or my internet service provider, although it also does it while using 3G Mobile.
I'm fed up!!! Either fix this, or hurry the hell up with GT7 so I can buy a PS4
Edit: I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm screaming at you, Sony doesn't listen and I don't have PD's glitch departments email address and just had to vent somewheere.
