I got none of it, it didn't move an inch and it was doing 300+ km/hr on the straight at Le Mans (with no chicanes) and the airbrake didn't raise either when breaking at the end of the straight, was completely static. Not to mention the car itself looks even more rubbish then the pictures we have seen of it....I guess it's possible they gimped the PSP import version? I haven't had the chance (or credits) to try purchasing it in GT Life and seeing if there is a difference.

Is the car the standard version or premium? If its the standard version that would most likely explain why it doesn't look as nice and why the wing isn't animated. Then again after searching around I'm not sure about the wing anymore.

Is it me or the lights don't work (can't turn on and off) on Standard cars? The dashlight shows it's turned on or off though but the car itself .. doesn't. :(.

Nope, I don't believe the standard cars can toggle the lights nor do the windshield wipers work.

It's a standard car (and only available as a standard) but some guys are reporting it does animate and in the pictures we have seen, you can clearly see it does. However, on the one I have it does not :/

Yep, that is correct.

On the GT5 list, the Veyron is listed under "S", not "P'. and bummer that the lights and wipers don't work >.<

Alright, I fired up GT5 just now and took my Veyron out for another spin on SSR7 (love that track). Surprise surprise the rear wing activated :happy: it must of been just a weird glitch or something, it's all good now (Y)

The lights do work on the standard cars, you just have no control over them i.e. you can't flash them.

Does every game need to spoon feed?

Jesus, the game is far from perfect. Let people have their complaints. This is a forum after all.

it's just hilarious seeing reviewers caught with their pants down as they're the ones we idolise as decision makers on what games we purchase.

It is funny to see a couple of them messed up their reviews because of their lack of damage knowledge. The scores are still spot on though overall.

The lights "appear" in a graphical sense, but they don't illuminate objects like the premiums do.

I've managed all gold and silvers in the first licence, being honest I've not sat down with the sole intention of ace'ing them all yet. It will be something I try to do though at some point!

Now I know it can be done with a DUALSHOCK 3 I need to practive more :p mainly got Silver... :whistle:

Ok boys, when are we gonna have a fun little lobby open with us to toy around the track?!? I see you guys in campaign on my friends list all the time (as I am as well), but we should get in and mess with the multiplayer options.

I feel sick, is there no way of turning off the screen judder while in cockpit its like someones shaking my head about trying to make my eyes come out.

Try quick settings during a race then change to view to narrow or narrower, that may help.

I've not even looked into the online aspect of the racing yet. I'm always pretty free of an evening especially this week, so will keep an eye out for people and we can try get something together.

Awesome! Well, I haven't raced yet online, but I did watch some online races. They sure are funny to watch. There are a crap load of cheaters out there though....my god. You should see them cut through the grass and sand online, it's funny as heck. I don't know if the actual gameplay online is like this, but watching them, the cars are glitching mad all over the place.

Hmmm that's not so good then maybe just go with a private lounge with a few NW's rather than risk idiots cheating?

I ought to go get a better car then soon! Have an old Ferrari and an Evo 10 :/ might need something a bit quicker!

I don't know why exactly but I find GT5 to be the most enjoyable driving experience I've ever had in a game. I often throw away victory by accident on the last lap because I keep pushing without even realising it. Cars feel really rewarding to drive or something. I've played GTR Evo extensively on the PC with my wheel but that feels very dull compared to GT5. Plus many of the mods for GTR seem to work on the basis of "if it can be driven in a straight line, it isn't realistic".

Anyone got any tips regards a good car for the "Classic US Muscle Car" race at Monza (amateur tier)? Tried my 69' Corvette Convertible but get blasted past down the straights. Stupidly bought a Dodge Challenger which has twice the BHP. It's useless as it runs out of gears at around 80mph (making it worse than the Corvette). :laugh:

I accidentally bought a 100k Lotus for the British series, but I can't use it because it's over 1200kg. So now I have to earn some money to do a weight reduction to put it in that race. So I guess I have a decent car now for some online.

Do they allow voice chat online? I'd like to put the official headset to some use, as I've almost never used it, and I bought it nearly a year ago. :blink:

Yes, you can voice and text.

Great! :) We've all got to set up a get-together online sometime.

Indeed...that way you can KICK MY ASS! :)

BTW, I have noticed that the game doesn't seem very challenging. The only place I have found challenging would be the "Special" races. The license tests also have some challenge, but I am almost done with Professional A Spec, and that is a breeze. I am hoping that Expert or Endurance piles on the difficulty.

I used a stock Superbird 60 I think it was, that's okay, not the fastest but with good cornering you should be able to win with it :)

I used the 70 Camaro, and I just slapped on a couple upgrades to add about 30 more HP or so, and got gold right away.

    • 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.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • 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.
