I dont hink you did what I suggested. You map them to something else, such as the DS3. Make sure the settings are saved and quit your game.

This forces a rewrite and repopualtion of the values in the gamesave.

Then start your game again, and map them back to the DFGT buttons and dial and save the values. The game engine has no weffectively rewritten the values as it was a new game, fixing the corruption.

So - again I ask, did you do as instructed or are you just raging for raging sake?

Remember, map to DS3, quit all the way out. Log ina dn check to see if the realtime adjusts work using the DS3, thne go in and remap them to the wheels dial. It will probably work if you do it correctly.

DUDE... really just go away

The only thing making me RAGE as you put it on this forum is you.

thanks for TRYING to help... but your not... so leave it there.. PLEEEEEEEZ
 
Sorry, but, both the information you've provided and your "solution" are incorrect and do NOT work. You clearly don't have or understand the specific issue we are discussing here. Your posts have been a waste of time.

Strange, it worked for myself and the other individual I personally know.


I'm not sure why that'd work for him and I and nobody else.

I am sure you are aware the use of textspeak such as PLEEEEEEZ and DUDE are a violation of the AUP, but never the less I understood what you meant.

Hope you have a great Christmas mate.

CHeers :)
 
See, now that was easy when you explained yourself instead of raging like a toddler.

Its a pity it didnt work for you mate... good luck with your problem, hope you get it sorted and have a Merry Christmas.

Raging like a toddler.. only because of inbreds like yourself.

once again I'll quote the AUP ( and yes i know i just broke it .. its worth it )

"You will not behave in an abusive and/or hateful manner, and will not harass, threaten, nor attack any individual or any group."

Have asked that you recieve ANOTHER infraction for name calling.

This has been explained many times already, it is not my fault you cannot read.

You just cant leave it can you... I have asked very politely for your comments to stop, yet you persist.

Im not your MATE, dont flatter yourself.

FOR THE LAST TIME...nicely

Please LEAVE IT ALONE.
 
ESTORIL is churning out some of the worst written crap I have ever seen.
It'd be much nicer for everyone if you just tried to formulate yourself in a correct, concise and mature way.

You really need to calm down, it's a tiny problem (you actually go faster if you are a good driver with it off - even in the rain). Every game will have its problems and if people stopped begging PD to release it, it would have come out in November 2011! What they have done is given us a slightly unfinished product so they can finish it by November 2011. We are very lucky that we are playing it now as it's still developing.

Everyone has there opinion so you can't say that someone is a fanboy if they don't think this game has many problems.

Not all of that was directed at one particular person but some people need to put it in perspective. I'm getting a DFGT for christmas so it's not great but I'm not freaking out!:)
 
same happens here. since last patch i cant change aids on fly with dfgt. i use to change tcs in dirt or snow tracks....i hope they fix it soon
 
Continue with this childish argument and this topic gets closed and further infractions handed out.

It stops now.

I really hope you understand this instruction because I won't be asking again.
 
I had this same problem yesterday. I forgot to turn off TCS and tried to do it in game. TCS was grayed out... So annoying.
 
I know what causes the problem...... when you play online in a race that has TCS banned it stays blocked out even after you exit and play in A spec or another online race while it is allowed.

PD screwed up somewhere with the new patch

Well that's at least something to go on thank's.

Can you go into a little more detail on exactly what you did to get this result, did you create another account and go online, was it all working fine before hand. Anything will help better understand.

Thing is now, has it effected game saves bad enough that it can not be undone.

+1 Confirmed! I just tested it. I started a new game from a sub account, went to practice mode and all in-race adjustments worked fine as they should.
I then exited and joined an online race in which TCS and ASM was banned, competed in the practice lobby and in the race. Then I exited and went back to practice mode and ASM and TCS were no longer adjustable mid-race.

We've found the cause, now for a solution???

Good work...

Wether or not we can fix it i'm not sure, I have pretty much exhausted every avenue I can think of, and ones other members have suggested with no joy.

Hopefully a patch will fix this, really really HOPE.

If it has corrupted my game save bad enough and I have to start from scratch that wont be too brilliant.

That is if PD are even aware of the issue.

I'll also confirm that this problem appeared for me after joining an online room with TCS disallowed. When it was unbanned, I still couldn't adjust it and to my dismay the problem persists. I've tried unbinding and rebinding keys and entering races with non-zero assist settings to no avail.

I would guess that the patch will, at its simplest, restore or fix the code that removes the TCS ban in online games when the box is unchecked, so a permanently saved TCS block could be solved by disabling then enabling TCS use in a lobby. Quite probably the TCS blocking will be reset whenever you return to GT Life as a precaution.
 
I tried ignoring it but it is starting to really annoy me especially when TC is set to 5 in a really event .I always forget to change the TC settings before each race so I hope they fix it soon .

Whoa, there you go, I did go on-line banned TCS and ASM and that happen... And as for RC45, I try your way to do it, I can't still get it fixed, when I switch to DS3, it still grayed out. Also for Driving Force™ GT, you can't change to any button, it just locked to it. Like when you try to drop out menu, there only 1 there which is RA mode, and if you try change to different button, there none for it.
 
I have the same issue, and I did actually first notice it after I was in an online race. It's not a huge deal, I just have to remember to turn TCS off before I enter a race, but hopefully this will be fixed in the next patch.

Hang in there man I'm sure it will be patched. As long as PD is aware of the problem, they'll address it. Is there an official phone number or email to report bugs? Anyone know?
 
Any chance that going into an online game that allows aids to see if they start working again?

Sorry if this was covered, kinda skimmed over some avoiding banter.

We can always get somebody who can write in japanese to twitter Kaz so I will look into that . 👍

It's possible, with a little experimentation, we might find some sort of combination of events that may reverse this issue. I haven't yet found one. Anyone who planning on any kind of experimentation should be sure to backup their save. You might just end up finding a new, even worse bug. Lol.
 
Just as an FYI - Same thing happened tonight on my G25 wheel. Had the RA mapped to the D-pad and working fine, and after an online game with aids disabled, the only thing that works now is brake bias.
 
Yep my TCS is grayed out as well in anything I do. Any car, any race and any game mode. It is getting quite annoying because I use it sometimes as well.
 
Had to chime in on this one too. (BGM bug 1.05, i get no personal music at all) I cant say I know which modes it worked in before patch (i dont Arcade but worked every where else), but since patch the menu RA functionality definitely works less. Often I am in race realizing TCS is wrong. I have to adjust before race every time, which is always different per the car an track, and ive trained myself to use Menu RA now I have to retrain me to not. If I can save all my cars somehow I am willing to delete an restart new GT5 game but that is a horrible pathetic option, very poor execution on PD's part.

To the guys who think this is doing us a favor.... drive 2WD w/900HP, even 600HP, in the rain with no TCS and tell us what a favor is again.
