Update 1.13 is here, fixes sound/crashing bugs

Complain about the bugs added via 1.12 update.
Complain about the 1.13 correcting these bugs because there is no more content.

The complaints about "update" 1.13 are because there is precedence to the notion that it is unlikely we will get another update before Thanksgiving. This gives them the "October update", so we now go another 2 months with little reason to play the game many of us here actually would love to play if they'd give us a reason to.

Patching problems which were introduced by bad code shouldn't be considered "updates".

Why we can't have 2 updates in 1 month? Also, why wait 2 months? November will have a update too I think
 
Bugs need squashing. I get it. Newest track kept my attention for a week (ran all my LMP and group C in time trial). It would be superb(yes SUPERB) if the next content released had something to do with the FIA WEC deal...hint hint... maybe 1 to 3 LMP2 cars? Or even better, a new Audi or Lotus LMP1? Please? A (RUFF even?) 919 Hybrid would certainly make it all better. All would be forgiven if a Ligier JS P2, a lotus T129, and a Rebellion R One all showed up together.

The chances of that happening is the same has finding a needle in a hay stack, sorry to say.

Because we didnt wanted to be like previous ones where PD thinks they had released 1.11 in July so they didnt feel obligated to release one on August. You know what 1.11 contains.

I rounded up to 2 months. I will be surprised if we get a true update prior to the week of Thanksgiving.
I do expect something akin to a Spec 2 around that time though.

As for the suggestions for racing online. I appreciate online racing. It can fill in gaps in offline racing content when I can schedule my life around it. But it should never be the sole or primary source of content for a console game. At least until I can find a 4 hour race for my RX-7 RM against a full 16-car grid of like cars 24/7. I cannot do that in offline or Online. This is just one example of what could be thousands of car, track, length specs which cannot be satisfied in either format. If there is someone out there who says they can race Online what they want to race, where they want to race it, and for their desired race length online, I'd like see it.

For me the current Offline game is complete. No reason to repeat any events. I've repeated every even at least twice. I've done virtual gymnastics to make the races entertaining, so I am satisfied I have squeezed as much fun as possible out of the current Offline game. The Online aspect is one where I have to schedule and plan my life around gaming. For me personally, that will very rarely make any sense due to the nature of life and my obligations.

I know for a fact there are thousands who agree with me on this. They need to update the game with new content which is sustainable, repeatable, and the content which is advertised on the box. Folks love GT and are begging PDI to give them something to do with it. That is where all the angst comes from.

Yes please. WEC content should be the #1 priority for PD. Screw the course maker.
 
Does this mean it's possible to play a race in 'quick match' without it taking an hour and a half to find one? Good :)
 
Nice that they came out with this update. I wonder if they fixed that bug where nobody couldn't see everyone in the room online. I hope they did.


I have a theory this problem is not a bug. It could be because of the different NAT connections people have. Anyone have thoughts on this??

Sees users write complaints about update. Complains about complainers complaining about said update that maybe one of the 'promised' monthly updates.

GTPlanet.

Really it's good that PD corrected the bugs and glitches from 1.12. But if that is all and we have to wait till next month, HA! Logging out again so I won't build frustration in the coming weeks (Toko style). Bye bye people. :sly:
 
still can't get into beginner level non race car challenge SS route 5 freezes on the title screen :banghead:

That's probably a problem on your end since it's not a bug everyone experiences. Try reinstalling your data.

I agree...Canadian Thanksgiving is October 13 :D

so far I have been ab;e tp play since 1.12. I have some issues with installing or should I say re-installing data. i've just rebuilt the database on my empty hard drive and trying it again. fpr spme reason, I cannot go past the player creation screen. Offline the screen freezes at th GTlogo with the dots below (prior to rebuilding) I am downloading the updates again, and I'll see. while I was Online " rather just being disconnected fom psn" the screen would freeze at that same player creation name, whose picture is shown below.

I notice that the tire physics have changed. I went through all of my good tunes with no luck... I can no longer use my tunes with high camber (around 3 to 6 degrees) effectively. I Joined a lobby last night and i couldn't even do a clean lap at nurburgring. I thought i was tripping. I had to turn my brake bias from 7-4 to 6-4 (i dont use abs) i have to soften up my Springs and damping because the tires get overloaded now. It probably means that PD is making things more realistic, right? I see that nobody else mentioned anything with the updated physics? Even my friend playing with me was noticing the same.

Glad they sorted the sounds out, that was becoming a real pain. Seemed server related though, but I guess some of the bugs required a small patch anyhow.

Nope. We've run controlled groups of online racing whereby every single facet of network setup has been tailored and configured to be the best case scenario for network stability - including static PS3 IP / DMZ.

The problem is specific to Polyphony's code and hasn't changed since GT5. Single most infuriating part of Gran Turismo.

weird you are basicaly the only one i heard that has this problem... Could be an internet provider issue, we had things like that for fastweb users here in italy.

Oh and i only race online and in online series, not like i never get on the net
 
Because I adjusted in game volume (trough menu during a race) I have no sound whatsoever in a single player race. I can hear sounds in replay, race startup where it shows grid, but utterly silent when racing. This persisted even when I went to go hot lapping, still no sound.
 
I was trying to play some crusing lobbies with my custom soundtrack but game keeps switching to original music when I enter the lobby. Is anyone having same problem?
