Gran Turismo 5 Update 2.11 Now Available, Restores Performance Point Values

Gran Turismo 5 February 19th, 2013 by Jordan

A new, free update for Gran Turismo 5, version 2.11, is now available to download.

Weighing in at 45MB, its most notable changes sees the restoration of “old” Performance Point values, as they were in version 2.09 of the game (the formula used to calculate the PP number was changed significantly with the release of version 2.10 last month).

Here’s a complete overview of the official change log as published by Polyphony Digital:

  • The performance point (PP) adjustments that were made in the 2.10 update has been cancelled, and returned to the calculation method in 2.09.
  • The automatically selected rain tire type has been adjusted. Please note that this may change the normally recommended tire when entering the pit, and the pit timings of opponent cars during races.
  • Adjusted the autopilot during changing road moisture conditions.
  • Corrected an issue where the game would not boot after the 2.10 update in some cases.

As always, stop by our Gran Turismo 5 forum for more discussion of other undocumented features or tweaks which may be hidden away in 2.11.

    Hi.

    On the next update, I wish GT5 would allow us gamers to paint all Rally Cars in different colors and even change the stock wheels to other wheels that is available for that car.

    Kind regards.

    I upgraded to v2.11, everything went fine, then I got a Buick special from a friend, and now when I try to go to the gt mode menu, it loads, blacks out, loads with the gt logo, appears, blacks out, etc. I don’t know why it’s doing this but it has to be the Buick or something. Frustrated that I can’t play gt5

    Problems with loading: in GT mode or Arcade, after select the track and car, most of times just hands at GT logo loading..and i have to quit GT to XMB and load again.

    Any solutions? Remove data files from ps3?

    Only thing im ticked about is the spa seasonal challenge with the nascar. Before it was 570 pp now the cars shot up to 630. The challenge calls for 570pp. No amount of tuning is going to make up for the pp difference…but still no biggie for me. Maybe they should wait til whatever seasonal is current to close than…update away…my 2cents is all…

    Purchased the race car pack a couple of weeks prior to the update, went to sell off a couple of the cars I didn’t want. I was not able to sell them. Sucks! Payed for them why can I not sell them off. Before the update I was able too.

      I think its.likely due to some peoples connection being really bad. I’ve seen people on here post dl times of well over an hour for even small stuff. Mine is a 10m dl so I never have an issue but if it were a bad 56k or something I could see it happen.

    @infamousphil I’m not sure about the rest of you guys but I’m using a high quality Klipsch surround sound system.I’ve also been around just about every BMW in this game and they certainly don’t sound like that stock or modded,I also find it hilarious that the Forza series has always been on point with car sounds.It takes GT incredibly long to make these games and then when they release it it’s nothing special.I don’t mean to hate on GT5 but there are just to many fanboys and girls who are okay with satisfactory.

      What are you confusing here my friend? I have FM4 and let me tell you something when you mod most cars in that game they tend to use race car engine exhaust notes for notable engines, but other cars it’s just all the same noise makers. Don’t believe me slap on racing exhaust on any inline 4 and listen to the noise you hear from it, if it’s not a notable engine like the boxer it will have generic race engine sound. The stock vehicle sounds are correct in both games, FM4 plays sound samples back much louder than normal and GT5 goes with muting sounds for whatever reasons. I think the last update also increased the sound output levels as everything sounds louder than before the 2.11 update. You’re comparing different mods to real life mods of which there are many to choose from which cause variations in the sound. Being around cars doesn’t mean much as I’m around a crap load of cars myself and only those special race cars I don’t know since I have never seen a single one of them racing ever. M3 2008 sounds like for like in both games, stock and tuned out…what are you going to say about that? GT5 has issues with the standard car sounds as not all of those engine sounds are genuine at all, but premium cars they are all true to life, just not played at the insane levels you get with FM which sounds pleasing to the ear but can get annoying when all your tuned cars all sound the same.

    just got gold in the nascar trial post patch, it’s doable for normal people, just have to be careful, check the TT thread (normally i hang around 10-30,000th on all leaderboards with no real tuning, always gold eventually)

    You know since the release of this game you guys could have redid all the premium cars sounds by now instead of releasing these worthless updates,just saying.

      There’s nothing amiss with the car sounds. The engine sounds are what you’d hear over the exhaust note in a good number of stock cars, pulling upwards of 7000rpm. You’re not riding on the rear bumper, the pipe shouldn’t always be the loudest thing you hear, especially in a car with all the insulation removed.

      Come on Both Barrels, like we never heard any car sound in our life. Seriously mate…loving a game is on e thing, defending it against all evidences is another.

      You are in total denial.

      Think some gamers are tone deaf? I’m afraid sound quality and accuracy is a highly subjective matter.

      We got players out there playing with sound systems ranging from HiFi quality to speakers from a tube TV.
