Gran Turismo 5 Prologue


Recommended Posts

Incase some of you didn't know this,

On the button assignments you can choose something called Left/Right View,

My current config is

L2 -brake R2 -accelerate

Right stick UP/DOWN -shift up/down

Right stick Left/Right -Left/Right View

Shifting works fine for me without it disturbing the Left/Right View when using in car view.

I didn't know you could look about in the car!

Only knew you could look behind you.

me neither, its bloody annoying.

i've cleared cache, changed upnp type, and more... most i've got is around 3/4 - then fail!

would connecting it directly, instead of wirelessly even make a difference (based on download speed it shouldnt...)

I've heard that the update should take a matter of minutes if working correctly.

If it's taking ages, it's more than likely going to fail.

I really don't understand what's the problem, unless GT5P pulls out sales of millions, it surely can't still be congestion.

I wonder if the update comes from Sony Japan, and if the store work is causing issues as well? Surely not though, as the store itself works fine just now...

edit: It's updating just now (bar progress about 1/4), but it will more than likely fail again :pinch:

edit2: This is worth a go... (my ps3 is setup on a static IP though, so this probably wouldn't help me)

erm one thing you could try is to change the time out options on ur router as well, the thing is with wireless if times out it will give you new ip address, same will happen wired, but change time out options to a lot longer than currently set, then change back to normal once update works.

what settings do you currently have it on?

i'm gonna try it out now.

edit: i dont think its timing out on my end, as there is no consistency to how long it downloads for. the other day it got half way then just stopped. i left it for an our, but still at half way so cancelled.

I'm really not sure settings matter, I think it's just luck.

Right now it's on UNPN 1 (or w/e the network setting is)

I've tried it on 2 as well.

Lot's of people say don't update when the game launches, update from news icon/clear cache/reboot system/ect - I think it's just luck though.

I'm on wireless as well, I have my PS3 on a static IP, and DMZ setup for that IP (basically every port is open for my PS3's IP).

This is how I got it to work.

1. boot up GT:P

2. refuse the update

3. turn off PS3

4. turn on PS3

5. boot up GT:P

6. refuse update

7. click on GT:TV and accept the update.

Don't ask why, but it worked.

Again, I think it's just luck/timing.

Most of those things if you ask me are quite trivial in relation to downloading something from a server.

I'll give it a go...

By the way, my update failed again at around 35% :pinch:

remember its actually resuming it, i just kept clicking on gt:tv and accepting the update (refuse the main one) and it'll do it eventually :p

It starts from the beginning for me.

Unless you call the % bar starting from scratch "resuming" :p

It's making progress again after trying popisdead uk's "method". Going slowly, but lets see if it works!

I'm on 8MB ADSL MAX with ADSL24.

you say that, but ive been to half way about 3 times without clearing the cache. so, go figure.

edit:so far today, its refused to download anything at all.

i doubt the update comes to close to maxing your connection out, and yes it progress bar starts from 0 but it resumes it as the time it actually updated took <1min for me when it failed numerous times over 5mins each

Ahh fair points.

Might explain why houltys update seemingly went instant - Pretty much all of it had been downloaded!

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
