Gran Turismo 5 Update 2.08 Now Available, DLC Incoming
Gran Turismo 5 version 2.08 is now available as a 227MB download and brings with it a number of bug fixes and minor features.
The following is an official changelog, but updates typically include other undocumented changes as well; keep an eye on our Gran Turismo 5 forum as our community uncovers and discusses everything new.
- Now possible to select “Disable collisions” in the [Event Settings] of online races.
- ID’s are now shown above cars when watching online races.
- Response of the clutch pedal when using the steering wheel controllers “G25 Racing Wheel”, “G27 Racing Wheel”, “T500RS” and “TH8RS” has been adjusted.
- Rate of tire wear in endurance races has been slowed (excluding formula cars).
- Amount of air resistance change when altering aerodynamic wing settings has been increased.
- Autopilot has been adjusted to prevent colliding with the wall when exiting the pit lane on the Tsukuba circuit.
- Adjusted the changes in control characteristic when altering vehicle height from standard height. (Vehicle height can be changed by adjusting ride height, either by installing a suspension kit or adjusting a full customizable suspension kit.)
The latest batch of DLC, including the Honda Weider HSV-010, Subaru BR-Z, and Nissan GT-R N24 will become available to purchase in the PlayStation Store when it updates in your local region on Tuesday.
As always, stay tuned in to GTPlanet’s forums for breaking availability information.

The reason why there isn’t free DLC is because that is how PD makes some ore of their money. They sell you the game then charge you to have the good stuff. I don’t have a job and cant afford to buy the Playstation network money card or whatever they are called so I can’t have the new cars like the amazing Aventandor. So you are not the only one suffering.

Thanks for the 2.08 PD. Now I’m getting many random disconnects, many black screens with logo in the lower right when entering a online race. Longer loading times, sometimes cannot see other cars in a online race, didn’t solve the hacked car issue (seen a Dodge ram blow away a x2011 like it was standing still and take off flying when it hit a bump in the road)

How about fixing up the online part that was happily and intentionally screwed up?

happily and intentionally? wow youre crazy. I suppose you think they also made a graphic pop up at the front corners of the car when you hit something hard enough

I’d like them to disable seasonal events and make earning cash harder, it is really too easy to make cash and everybody is drivnig around in exotic cars when your playing online, back in the old days you saw more JDM’s and less exotics, made it more fun.
-

Disable seasonals events ?! Because YOU don’t want that other people may play them, right ? Good point. Huuum, let’s see… I’d like them to disable online races. So that we would not be bothered with people driving around in exotic cars.
-

Yes, let’s disable seasonal events so that I can spend countless more hours driving in circles, grinding away for cash, because wasting more time than others doing rote, monotonous things in a video game is how I get my sense of accomplishment. I wouldn’t want others, who don’t feel like spending hour after hour after hour driving in a circle to actually enjoy driving the cars they want in the car racing game that they bought and paid for.

I agree with you because my friends will get the game and have never played it and they can already afford many nice cars that I had to grind for days. For about a year my GT5 wouldn’t let me log online for some reason and it made earning credits a lot harder. Now that I fixed that problem I have every car in the game (except all dlc) including duplicates. When it takes more time to earn credits it makes the game feel more rewarding. Now I always have max credits and I’m bored of the game because there’s nothing new. What I like to do now is have my b-spec drivers run the 24 hours nurburgring to gain my drivers skill and to break-in engine power. They should add more a-spec stuff; I know there are many events in the seasonal races but I always liked a-spec the best. It is why I enjoy gran turismo. And I like the online play, but there are so many douchebags on there that just kick me when it takes forever to join a room. I rarely find a fun online server..

After the version 2.08 update, I’ve noticed that when making a pit stop in an electric car, the battery level isn’t charging up at all.

Takes more than 12 secs to charge perhaps?

Yeah its too bad polyphony digital is busy racing in the real world circuits instead of worrying about their current game…
While KAZ is out there blowing his money and racing on Nurburing, we gotta play a game that could of been much better and this game lacks DLC completely.
Look at Forza the car collection DLC alone is amazing and not to mention the cars that are already in game are a spectacular collection to drive!!!

I was just wondering if anyone experienced the same problem I have.
After I joined an online lobby, I would try to enter the track and the screen would turn black, the GT5 logo would appear in the bottom right corner of the screen, and I would have to restart the game. The weird thing was that I would be able to control my car, hear my car, hear other people with mics, and their cars. This occurs in 1 in every 3 rooms I try to join, and has only been occurring after the 2.08 update.
Has anyone else had to deal with this?

Yeah mate same thing, near enough 1 in 3 for me aswell, so annoying, but worth it gt5 is pukker

Yes, this did happen to me i could control my car but it was all black, every new update comes with a new glitch

They did it and they are not gonna fix it. They’re HAPPY!

I’d love some GT1 cars or some LMP1 cars like Audi R18 Ultra or Toyota TS 030

They should add the new viper and R8 and maybe some lexus’ cars and audi’s.

Shows how much I didn’t care about GT5 at this point. Once again nothing but Japanese cars and now more than five different versions of the Toyota 86. Along with yet another version of a GT-R. Let’s see didn’t Ford recently come out with the Boss 302, and didn’t Carrol Shelby pass on this year as well? Where is the honor for the greatest car guy ever to live? And didn’t GT’s main competitor get a thirty Porsche pack?
Yeah Japanese bias much, and not caring what the fans want to see??? This keeps up and there’s going to be a changing of the guard. While we wonder what happened to that old game called Gran Tursimo, we will be playing Forza 9.

You obviously either don’t know or don’t care about how racing sims work.
The reason that Gran Turismo can’t get Porsche in it is because Electronic Arts (Maker of the Need For Speed series) has EXCLUSIVE rights to digital versions of Porsche cars. Forza Motorsport only got them because they bought a sub-license from EA, and EA charged through the nose to get it.
PD cares greatly about what the fans want. Just look at some of the past DLC.
The fans repeatedly asked for the Aventador, V12 Vantage, Spa, and a lot of people wanted the Golf R.
If you read some of the interviews of Kaz, you would understand the “Japanese bias”, so I won’t go into detail here.And Forza Motorsport can’t really be called GT’s “competitor”, because they aren’t even on the same system. Someone who has a PS3 isn’t going to think “Should I get GT5 or FM4?” because they would have to buy another system to get FM.

Gt5 is so boring and 95% of the cars no one cares about
-

Uh…95% of the cars no one cares about what?
Finish your sentence, I don’t know what you are trying to say.

With this new update you are now able to draft in the free run mode. Makes it impossible to run qualifying sessions with multiple vehicles on the track at one time. Also seems like the fuel is being consumed faster with the new update.
For the next update, is it possible to add shortcuts to the penalties instead of using the weak penalties? Vehicles turn invisible at times when bump drafting with penalties on weak.

ore is supposed to be more in my previous comment.
