+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 7, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 7, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowRanger13 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I wish my TV was 1080p for this game alone :( I think I'm buying a 1080p 120Hz 40" LCD soon. GT5P will be happy but my wallet wont! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 7, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 7, 2008 Oh yeah!! Helps when overtaking the idiots online! I would play online if I could get the update to install... STILL won't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houlty Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 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...)

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 7, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) 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.

houlty Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popisdead uk Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popisdead uk Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Yeah, probably luck/timing but alot of people had success doing it this way. I too am on wireless and it took some time to update, but it was on release day so I imagine the update process should be rapid now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 7, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 7, 2008 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.

houlty Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 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 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.

Going slowly, but lets see if it works! I'm on 8MB ADSL MAX with ADSL24. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houlty Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 lol, before it had a steady progress bar up to 50% plus, then failed. this time it had no progress bar for ages, then it went to 100% in a second. so if it looks like it isnt progressing, dont assume its not downloading (like i did)...
