Yeah, just installed mine and i get the Server undergoing maintenance and then straight away i can go into GT Mode and everything else. So either a generic message for the game for the servers not being on/ready or lots of people are hammering the server... which means lots of places breaking release dates :laugh:

My French is rough (been many years), but I can read some of it. Looks like the biggest issue was that it's not quite ready yet.

^ i could have read it and translated it properly if i could read it at work. (i know french, canadian eh ;) )

Me too, but i"m at work as well and eating right now

But basically, they say that it is a great game for sure, just that they focused too much on content instead of the gameplay. The feel of the car is not that great. It feels like the other gran turismo, which are now technically surpassed.

Bing Translation

A force of reports loosely justified by Polyphony, we well thought would never be able to insert Gran Turismo 5 blu - ray into a PS3. Finally, at the end of a chaotic sprint simulation landed in rays with a few days in advance! Have the promise to merge the real and the virtual held? Five years of development have enabled to carry out the fantasies of fans and especially to "The Real Driving Simulator"?

Gran Turismo 5 has, in recent months was at the centre of all imputations, sometimes revered sometimes criticized, any picture, any video contributing to this massive buzz the highlight was the announcement of the firm and final of 24 November release date. Wink of fate (or), the blockbuster finally elected domicile in superstores and specialty four days before the fateful date stores shelves. You must admit that output "Advanced" for a six times delayed game has something unique in the history of video game. Any, waiting has enabled Sony and Polyphony to measure the interest of the community of WG 5, allowing the developer to take its time to meet the expectations of each to the extent possible. No bad words game Gran Turismo 5 was expected at the turn and runway exit station! The average player is already slightly inclined base to forgive shortcomings and absences, imagine its propensity to absolve a development studio after five long years of waiting... As promises were skeptical, and despite the multiple reports, Polyphony has always, through the voice of Kazunori Yamauchi, displayed an unwavering confidence in her baby. Then, is GT 5 the ultimate simulation or already outdated product?

Interior view, thought first in prologue, arrives in GT5, offering very good sensations of speed.

Before answering this question and talk about the gameplay, it is essential to introduce the career or Gran Turismo here called GT Life mode. According to the well-known and scrupulously respected the serial model, it opens access level and progressive interest on five floors, racing starting of modest Sunday Cup endurance racing demanding that are. The player on his side, is a collection thanks to the market new and occasionally buying always slightly more expensive, a little more powerful, a little more pretty. Her choices are punctually dictated by strict conditions of participation (brand, model, year, power...) but it is also responsible for spending its money wisely to avoid find themselves penniless. Because your money, it will also invest it said store preparation which is to buy and then install parts on its cars to ensure the first place. There are also famous permits such as Gran Turismo 4, are not essential to have the right to drive. They simply allow new entrants to familiarize themselves with the very atypical conduct of Gran Turismo. However, developers have wanted not you open all the doors too quickly by introducing the concept of leveling. A level is therefore required to unblock access to shopping, increasing it to your success. If this point perfectly balance the progression, cannot be said of you allocations. You'll play in correct and realistic time frames but the fare displayed by some concessions require weeks and weeks of free leveling to sign cheques millions of credits...

There are very few new circuits in Gt5 but it is probably the most original.

Side gameplay, we must admit that the first contacts with the beast are rapidly falling excitation. A belief that the five years of development were used to anything to correct and to evolve the gameplay! So to speak, the expatriation is null, each of the expensive mechanisms in the series was renewed, is good or not. In addition to printing speed not always obvious exterior view (even with beasts of races), must deal with a hyper rigid pipe preventing any skill or improvisation. Gran Turismo is in fact still a set of against-shows more than a true racing game. This is felt also quickly when first contact inter-carrosseries disrupt the soundtrack sounds partially failed. Can we still rely on an opponent to take a turn? Yes. Bounces are always returning vigorously in a safety rail or an invisible wall? Yes. The IAS seems as heavy and ind?boulonnable its trajectory? Yes. Is it still possible commonly cut a corner without fear lesser penalty? Yes (not online). Then, developers are stubborn and buried in a lot of deciduous ideas or they preferred not to take no risk to not offend fan - boy poorly digests the expatriation? Probably a little of both. Still is it Gran Turismo rose from avant-garde to almost obsolete simulation status.

The rally, as in all Gran Turismo is fairly shattering.

However, they cannot see and the negative in this stagnation. The sensations remain unique and market racing game, there is no title that makes all reflect the personality and the profile of the car. Similarly, settings and preparation to focus on details that completely change the behavior of a caisse. Also, the first tests, often played with heavy and sous-puissants, series models provide perfectly this role of prelude to the possible the reduced weight/power ratio. If it is regretted clearly that most events are transformed into slaughter (for you or for AI) as model leads is difference timing paths or management of the moments of braking requirement and Acceleration pushes the player to lead impeccably. On PlayStation 3, you will find no simulation which takes into account at this point each feature of cars. If the gameplay still lacks flexibility, it varies widely depending on drive propulsion or pull or gear tires. And finally, it is this set makes it so different races from each other, well helped by thousand cars go, sweeping all genres, all times. Side channels, there is however a little less well off with the revival of many present paths since several episodes. Quickly, it rotates round 20 present places.

The interface will speak series regulars since it takes over the design of its elders.

The gameplay itself is stalled, but this does not mean that everything feels the musty in Gran Turismo 5! Including witness the emergence of an inner view however reserved for Premium game, approximately 20% of 1031 car models. The realization and the fidelity of the camera are variable, but its main asset is double speed printing. The other horse battle of Polyphony has been modeling of damage, first in the history of the series! What disappointment... Here again, less than 200 models are concerned but damage, bumper micro-rayures, short dirt, timid Embayments body... Physics was loup?e and damage are never to impact... See his vehicle amoch? should play the bombers and transform a rail crash-test wall safety! Another novelty in Gran Turismo 5, the weather! Claimed Horn and to Since the first cries stolen, dynamic weather conditions are here also that a fairly limited number tests according to the circuit which hosts. Inside prominently rain is also less credible that the presented us in the trailers... The weather is the final one more but could be better exploited. Finally, the races of endurance and certain special events introduce a cycle quite perfect day/night in the realization. But at night, the lack of visibility is sometimes exaggerated to make almost unplayable test... In summary, Gran Turismo 5 is full of good ideas but each of them has many defects and qualities.

Karting made the mistake of resume gameplay grand tourism... Not frankly adapted!

The contents of Gran Turismo is also inflated by the emergence of new licences and disciplines. We think for example the Nascar suction constant research is really well made, the phenomenon being perfectly simulated has always been in the series. The ovals were already there, heavy vehicles, only missing more to model some Motorsports and their famous tubular type chassis and the tour was played! It cannot be also positive by talking about which is perhaps the least credible game category karting! How, wearing the gameplay of large passenger cars to a Kart Polyphony could suggest a second being right? The led all in skid hyper p?chue leaves room for bland tests in which the go-karts simply turning about an axis... Meh! Finally, on the sidelines A-Spec racing, GT 5 proposes B-Spec tests where you coachez driver in real time. Honestly, this mode brings nothing and proves to be more annoying than anything else, the player is limited to "slowed down, accelerates guard your speed," to control the calm and the progression of his foal. Obviously, this mode takes much too place in Gran Turismo 5 because although it is unnecessary, there are lot of races decorate your bank account...

Circuits Editor is simply a generator circuit. Disappointing.

Gran Turismo 5 proposes for the first time a publisher of circuits. We didn't really what to expect but functionality is shining eyes of fans at his announcement. They fall down by noting that in reality, what is called circuit editor is simply a generator circuit. The difference is noticeable when the player has no control on the format of the circuit it wants to create. After you have chosen environment, it must first select a layout type which will serve as a draft. Then, to specify the number of servings which constitute circuit and then set the difficulty, the width of the road and rigour of turns. From there, the generator will do its work and to propose any fact circuit! A gadget, despite the possibility of sharing "creations" online. Another gadget, the photo service. Instead of being in-game, it allows taking photographs of models in picturesque locations around the world as the main square of Arhweiler Premium or Hangar Red... Different effects can be added to immortalize the moment...

The multiplayer online appeared in Gran Turismo 5.

But Gran Turismo 5, it also opens online multiplayer. And it is so much better! Indeed, no effort was conceded on-screen splitt?, always limited to simple and zappant races several cameras whose famous inner view... Online gaming was essential meaning to give boost to multi Gran Turismo. If goodwill is evident, the facts are less convincing. In addition to a poorly fichue interface (after each race or to each server, change the player is returned to the main menu of the game, lack of search filters, launch a race is chaotic...) there is lot of problems connection, maybe or maybe not related to the recent opening of the servers. Is that navigation is poorly thought and it sometimes fight farm to join a race despite the proliferation of the parties. On the other hand, it thanked Polyphony thinking to penalties for the bourrins or small malignant mowing the lawn. Unfortunately, on some systems, it's not enough (cf the last baffle the Sarthe circuit)...

Managed to pick up a copy of GT5 today! :-D Walked into a Game store in Stockholm, saw they had a ton locked in the cabinet so I just asked for a copy to see what'd happen. He paused, smiled, and said "Certainly, sir".

The install is taking forever, though. I left it at the start saying "20 minutes remaining". Came back 10 minutes later and the bar was 1/4 through and it said "19 minutes remaining".

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.

      Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
