A minor new update has been released for Gran Turismo 6 to address numerous glitches and bugs. Weighing in at 9.5MB, it includes the following documented changes:
- Fixed an issue where engine and other sound effects were not being played back correctly during online races.
- Fixed an issue where the system would occasionally freeze when 2 or more cars with additional gauges were racing against each other during an online race.
- Fixed an issue regarding the ability to download and play back replays from the Online Rankings board after entering an event.
- Fixed an issue where the game could potentially freeze when attempting to view a replay of an online race from the Gallery menu.
- Fixed an issue where the “Client” display systems could possibly freeze when using the Multi-Monitor function during an online race.
Although there is no new content supplied by the update, it will likely contain several undocumented changes. As always, keep an eye on our GT6 forums as our community scours the game to see if any surprises may have slipped into the code…

I don’t see any more complaints about the FFB. Is everyone with a Logitech wheel happy how it feels now, or what’s going on? Since 1.12 pretty much the game was over for me, I’ve been checking constantly to see if the FFB has been fixed, but sadly it’s the same and now I see that no one is talking about it anymore. Probably because as well as me, the ones with a steering wheel stopped playing. It makes me so sad, I was enjoying the game immensely, and with that update they took my money and dumped it to the trash. And if they are working on it, why they don’t say anything? No news about it? You don’t know if they are just going to leave it like that or what is going to happen. For years I’ve been refusing to go to PC sims and sticking with GT, but seriously, with all the mistakes and bugs and fixes since GT5 years ago, I’m losing interest in the franchise.
After the update, the DISPLAY DRIVER NAME setting doesn’t have to be turned off each time you enter a room, instead it stays off when you turn it off.
Watch race/ options/ display driver name/ [off]
Death to whiny babies.
What I want..No what WE need is a secret Update that will (1st. Lose the Stock-Yard, 2nd. Give us our Track Creator). Sounds,Std-Cars/Prem-Cars. I love them all but really all you can have is roughly 500 Cars before you hit the limit. I do the seasonals for the paint but I have not bought cars (not inculding VGT or GTR or FT-1 Graphite and such) since January. I’ve always bought all the the cars in all the games. No problem? Problem! We can still buy them all even without all the fuss of waiting for the list to cycle or the day to change in the game to get the car you need or want. Yes We Can!! But we are forced Yes! Forced to choose and wait and wait..and wait till Stock-Yard loads and saves, then wait for your garage to load all over again. I’ve said this before but WORSE FEATURE EVER! I think they intended for a 500 Car Fav-List but messed up the process left the 100 Fav-list in and added the 500 Fav-List Code. An easy fix but I assume the complex hive-mind of those at P.D. know more than I. Regardless I still play love the new roadway Targa forever. However Track Creator would be nice to have as well, I remember not so long-ago in a not so faraway galaxy having 500 created roads/tracks constant full lobby and some of the best sim console driving I’ve seen. Virtual friends become friends in the flesh, you engage in content that is so much more than the game in which you are playing. Music,Art,Politics all while going round a track in the car or a car of your dreams. It was great, thought we’d be coming back to a nice warm glove with GT6. It is but missing a few fingers. P.D. still I play..
Good to see that this has induced another “fanboy” vs “hater” debate. PD has a plan whether or not you believe there is one or dislike how they are doing it. They are not the first and won’t be the last company to polarise people with the way they attack things. There is no car game out there that is perfect as no matter how good it is as there will always be those that will find issues, problems or flaws.
Take a pro sports team, some of the fans will disagree about who they should sign or trade or who the coach is or the way the front office handles business regardless of whether or not they are the champs while they others will be in favour and then there are those in the middle that vary slightly either side. This akin to PD and GT we see exactly the same thing here on GTP. At least PD are supporting and working on the game. Anybody care to go back to 1.1 and play the game?
While GT is still lacking in certain areas it still resonates with a lot of people while the casual fan may have come and gone there is still a vast array of hardcore players that still recognise this as the game of choice when it comes car games. Anyway why does it have to be just one game if you find something else that appeals to you then why not add it in to the rotation.
C’mon people there are far bigger issues out there to put your energies into than having a mini coronary cause a time frame that you have created in your own expectations hasn’t been met. Anyway if you wanna wage a war go right ahead rage on.
Pre race sound still annoyingly present. Quick match is not it takes forever to load.
oh well quit trying to host in disgust tonight the servers are even worse than before and that’s saying something.Horizon 2 and p/cars were out now on ps3/4 this game would be six feet under.well kaz got my money and is most likely jetting off around the world to watch real cars.i hope just as the race starts all the cars disappear and he is sat there alone wondering WTF?
I’m hoping that the weeks pass quickly, and DriveClub and P CARS grabs everyone’s attention like GRID was supposed to do, and maybe it’ll be more civil around here.
I don’t know what’s with the extra complaints.the team is doing a great job in correcting and improving the game.put your self in their shoes. Sony is actually calling the shots and not to mention the fact that the created a new engine on the PS3 which is a complex hardware that can be a hassle. The game had to be released before being finished because of the ps4 launch. They are doing their job and other ventures. I see nothing out of the ordinary, I expected this to happen after the first update. To add to this, different people have been in charges of the direction of each gt game and that is why everything is different. They still have to correct some other problem and perfect the game but again they are using the PS3.
To also add to this , the shift has changed mostly to gt7 to get the game out more quickly then gt5.
Course maker? GT7?
Awesome! Thanks PD for finally fixing the audio issue. When dragging online it was a pain not being able to hear your car.
Enough with the whiners, just shut up or get out if here, we don’t care if you don’t like gt6, or if you sold it, or anything, let us, the ones who like gt6, enjoy it.
We dont need to see you crying here. If all you do is cry and whine but give no feedback gtfo
Agreed 100%! People need to realize that everything you want in this game is not gonna happen. I would love a drag strip but I know it won’t happen, hey I’ll deal with using the back stretch of Indy road course for now.
That’s right. I also agree 110%. If you don’t care about GT6 then stop reading articles about it. If you sold the game good for you now go keep complaining about a different game that’s not giving in to YOUR demands. We play GT6 because WE like it. WE have found it enjoyable so that’s why WE play it. If you don’t like GT6 then get over it. At least PD is actually patching their game in a timely fashion instead of letting it rot unlike some game companies I know of (*COUGH* GTA 5…*COUGH*Rockstar)
Nope. I paid full price for this game, so I’ll complain about whatever I feel like complaining about. I have the right to say whatever I want, so don’t tell me not to.
Better yet, I’ll complain for you right now. I find it ridiculous that the course maker isn’t even here yet. Instead of making stupid gps gimmicks, Pd should be making that course maker, the b-spec mode, or making more standard cars premium. Almost a year this game has been out and it’s not even complete yet. You gran turismo loyalists will happily defend Pd knowing full well this game is incomplete. Are we supposed to be ok that is game is essentially gran turismo 5.5? No. Voice your opinions people. You can disagree with me, but don’t tell us not to complain, we have that right to be frustrated at a half finished product.
I swear, these people who thinks that Gran Turismo 6 is great and there’s nothing wrong with it are delusional and downright stupid. It seems like people are perfectly fine with standard cars, sub par engine sounds, and missing features (yes, we did pay for it and expected it to be released with a reasonable time). They’re the reason why the series is going downhill because Kaz looks at these dumb comments about how this is the best racing game period and some of these problems are tolerated by the community. Some of these people like being taken advantage of by this company. People have the right to complain about stuff that isn’t right and you’re stupid for telling people to shut up about it.
@Jack The Ripper +1 I also paid full price for not only GT6, but also GT5, GT5Prologe, GT4, GT3, GT2 and GT1. Not only that, but the reason I stuck with Sony consoles and the reason why I always buy the next gen Sony console is for Gran Turismo primarily. So yeah, nearly 15 of supporting the game, giving valuable feedback, waiting for improvements and expecting it to be on top is quite a long time. And I’m damn sure I will continue supporting it.
So, with that said, mr. @dante_3_16
I’ll complain as much as I want to as well, since I have all the right to do so. Game never reached its expectations and by how things look, it probably never will. I really don’t see how us long-time fans complaining with all the right to do so affects people like you. If you don’t like complains, quit crying, get the hell out of here and go play your unfinished game.
These kids… jeez.
So first of all you complain about the people complaining but then say you dont care if they dislike gt6? That makes zero sense. Also, the only way for you to enjoy GT6 is for them to stop complaining? You’re a weak human being my friend.
@starspd @Jack The Ripper: Nope, it’s clear there’s only one opinion allowed here: hatred of the game. Anyone who says ANYTHING positive here is bashed and hated on. People who hate the game say “Oh, well you’re welcome to like the game if you want to,” but then round on them the very *second* they express a positive opinion.
Complete and utter double-standard bulls**t.
It’s the internet. Everything here is analyzed, ridiculed, and hated on. Funny that people are still surprised by this. Pointless battles.
“I find it ridiculous that the course maker isn’t even here yet.”
Well, do tell me of a racing game with a Course Maker that would let you make a track anything like Zahara. Now, admittedly I’m not completely sure that CM II will let us make courses like Zahara, or if we can only drape asphalt across pre-determined locations like Ronda and Zahara. Or if we could flat out recreate classic GT tracks if we want to. But, and this is a biggie, Zahara was touted as a prelude to the Course Maker. Kaz is hinting that we’ll be happy with it when we get it. Seeing Zahara, that’s good enough for me. Your “good enough” is entirely your choice.
“I swear, these people who thinks that Gran Turismo 6 is great and there’s nothing wrong with it are delusional and downright stupid.”
And who says it’s paaarfect? Many of us have made posts asking for improvements and more content, features, evets, etc, and you don’t do that of a game that’s paaaarfect.
You don’t like the Standard cars and tracks? Well, a lot of us do. You hate the engine sounds? A lot of us don’t care. Missing features? Tell us of all these paaarfect racers that have all the features GT5 and 6 do. Better, yet, go race them, and hang out on those boards.
I’m here because I like the game. Why are some of you?
You guys have freedom of expression? Well, so do we. And I’ll repeat something I don’t very often. There’s quite a diff between making constructive criticism of a game, and just being an obnoxious cretin talking trash day in and out. You want Gran Turismo to improve? It doesn’t show, and I’m calling you out. Call me a fanboy if you like, but I’m happier being a fanboy than a grinchy troll.
I find it hilarious that you talk about freedom of expression and feel completely secure in openly blasting people simply because they disagree with your rose-coloured glasses opinion, and then tell them to go away and leave you alone with your paaarfect opinion and hang out on other boards. Pot meet kettle.
TenaciousD, that’s you and the praisers, not the people complaining, who are the obnoxious cretins.
You and the remaining bunch of grinchy trolls, who enjoy to be burgled and are willing to ask the burglar for more robbery, must understand that normal people, unlike you guys, have personality, and self esteem, and are rightfully reacting to the dishonesty of PolyPhony and Sony.
More, is you and the other members of your gang, who are dragging the franchise downhill.
Remember the 2nd World War?
The fall of Hitler was his court of praisers and lack of critical voices?
You guys are willing to do the same to PolyPhony and, probably, with the same final result.
I find it funny that grown people are arguing over a video game when I’m pretty sure they have a family to care about the most.
MonSpaNur, grow up there is absolutely no requirememt to bring Hitler into this. This is a game not a gas chamber erradicating untolled deaths and untolled pain for the families who suffered a true catastrophe. This is not the place to bring that kind of utter garbage to. Both parties need to bring it back a notch all this does is lower each to the others level.
sayba2th, the example was absolutely valid and illustrate, appropriately, my point of view.
If a simple mention of Hitler (and not their atrocities, like you, ironically, did) disturb you that much, is you who must grow up, not me.
In Angola, in 1974, at the city of Luanda and with 11 years of age, I found myself in the middle of a civil war.
There I saw innocent people dying by bomb blast (usually more or less nearer, but once just a few yards from me, I was the lucky one at that day) and piles of dead people stacked outside the morgue (because they had no more space available inside).
I also saw people killed by “collar of dead” (stuck a tyre around a guy at his elbows and set it on fire), decapitated, or cut in half, lying abandoned in the middle of the road.
Some of my close friends were kidnapped and tortured to dead and, at the time, I knew that this could happen to me at any moment.
And I learned to distinguish, by the sound, a AK47 from a G3 (Portuguese machine gun), and to recognise the blast of a bazooka, a mortar or a missile ground-air.
Then, 18 months later, in 1975, I left the country as an war refugee.
So, since then, a comment, like the one I did, do not make me raise a eyebrow or even beat a eyelid.
And is not you who can teach me the horrors of a war, I know them first hand.
I am terribly sorry to hear that MonSpaNur no one should ever have to live through any of that. However that surprises me even more that someone such as yourself who has seen that level of tragedy would make that comparison, it’s a game and it just puzzles me that you could relate the two.
Man, GTPlanet is turning into the 4chan of racing sim fansites… Either you’re for GT, either you’re against GT, either you’re posting hate comments or praising the game non-stop…
I’m not impressed. Almost no-one is agreeing with each other these days. I can only guess that these wars for mental stimulation programs on a screen will be constantly overboard soon… Where is the ignore user in the news section button? Hm?
I enjoy GT for what it is… sure it could be better but I’ll never stop playing it. After all, like I keep saying, I grew with it and i’d be annoyed if it ceased…
Anyways, back on subject… It’s good that they fixed a buncha bugs, I’m getting more and more people in my Open Lobbies to just go cruisin’ around and other stuff. Good one PD. Don’t let any other franchise take your spot. I hope they won’t but time will tell.
“I enjoy GT for what it is… sure it could be better but I’ll never stop playing it.”
I’ll never understand when people say this. There is no consumer product I would ever say that about and with games in particular, you have no idea what is coming down the pipe and how your current favourite game will fare against the competition. As a discerning fan, I don’t want the same thing over and over, I want my games to be on the cutting edge of what is possible technologically and we can’t say that about the GT series at this point anymore, IMO. GT7 will hopefully change that but it has a long way to go to match the visual appeal of DriveClub and what looks like the sim racing aspects of ProjectCars on the PS4.
Thank you for fixing the problems PD. No sound and aborted on-line sessions are no good.
Have the junk sounds been replaced? If not I wont even bother launching the game.
Good stuff, glad to see they fixed the audio issue while online.
So let me get this straight.
everyone was complaining that there was too many bugs
PD fixes these bugs
Now everyone is complaining because there isn’t any new content? WTF?
You could just never win. These GT players are never satisfied. PD could replace better sounds on all cars and yet still complain about something else.
Bratness is the ebola zombie plague of the intranets. Happiness and contentment are verboten, only flamewarz are allowed.
These never-happy people should just go play other games… GT isn’t the only racing game which is fun.
Arcadey racing games’ve been the craze for me for the last days. No I’m not telling you guys which I’m playing. I don’t wanna get into a pointless debate.
I still play GT for the record. I’ll be back sooner or later, after the game’ll have expanded/improved a bit.
So they fixed a series of issues that users have been yelling at them to get fixed since the update came out, and now those same users are criticizing them for fixing the issues.
WOW.
Yep, GTPlanet are some of the whiniest group of people I’ve seen.
I agree I dont understand sometimes:/ why complain i just dont get it.
Because they actually care about the game and are upset with it’s shortcomings.
If they care, it doesn’t show. I have quite the essays in here.
On the contrary, the care is shown in the complaints themselves. Albeit, not in the most productive manner. Like a father, fed up with his unproductive son who is wasting his intelligence, talents, and time and refuses to even get a job. Does his complaining, kicking him out of the house, etc really mean he does not care? Or has his way of “caring” up until them enabled and handicapped the boy from ever going out & making the changes necessary, and essentially handicapped the boy? Whether it’s right or wrong is not my debate, I’m just stating that you shouldn’t think that people care any less than you do, simply because they complain.
I see you’ve met my Dad Ice…lol. You’re right, everyone cares in a different way. Not everyone has the time or inclination to write flowery essays online about the many wonders and glories of Kaz and PD.
Either for or against, you’ll end up being pinned into an opinion war if you express yourself too much.
Better keep it down or you’ll be blasted with F-bombs… Just wait a couple a’ years then forum wars will get even worse.
Humanity really majorly is self-destructive. (I don’t care if this last paragraph is off-topic, all right. I just don’t.)
Update, dlc, update, dlc, new game, update, dlc, update, dlc, and when we get this game really??? When it is ready? Never…
I agree. Why don’t PD get their house in order, everything else I own doesn’t ever require any updates…. like my TV, my satellite receiver, my phone, my bluray player, my printer, any other game I own, etc.
Add in the free “extras” we keep on getting such as cars and tracks (who’d want that) and it’s enough to make me want to start a protest movement…
@ITFCEddie Master of sarcasm over here, lol.
It’s not easy to get something “right first time”. There are always follow up things that need to be fixed with EVERYTHING. To get a game this large to work perfect out of the box is an impossible ask, unless you gave them a lifetime to perfect it, which is Kaz’s goal I guess.
I do automotive design and make 3D models. When I go back and look at work I have done a few months or years ago, that I thought was perfect, I always manage to find issue, things I’d like to change and to do general updates.
They are doing their job very well here, unlike many other game, software and hardware developers. Even though I have moved on from GT6 and am now waiting for Project CARS and GT7 I am always glad to see PD releasing new stuff whenever possible. At least this time around PD aren’t charging anyone for new DLC (yet). GT5 was a bit of a bump in the road, but a good turning point.
I agree. How long do we have to wait to get some new content?
Just installed the update and tried a Quick Match. It’s pretty smooth now. It allowed for warmup during the player match process, then kicked out when there were other players to do network synchronization. And all the sounds were present, something that has been bugging the crap out of me before. I’ll have more time after work to put it through the paces.
Fanatec crs elite wheel is still on 0 ffb, fupd!
After 15+ year’s I’m gone, no more gt in my house!
Selling ps, gt and wheel in yellow pages.
F… U pd!
Me too, sell my wheel and game! :(
Thank Goodness. I was waiting for you two to finally leave. It’s been bugging me for ages. ;)
How much for the wheel? (The “fu’s” are childish and unnecessary btw, we get your point without them)
Sorry johnny, 4 f and u, I overreactted a bit. But still selling the rig .
After all those fun years why did they destroyed the real racing simulator?!
See if they will work on PCars before you sell them.
On the PC version of PCars every wheel works. On the PS4, as it is with all games, so far it looks like it’s Thrustmaster only. Could change, the fans are raging now that DC and PCars are nearing release, I imagine it’ll be at epic proportions in the next month or two.
Gotta give credit where credit is due. Its not ideal that the bugs exist to begin with but they did address many of them rather quickly so it does show they care about the outrage in the community and are responding as fast as they can. Well done PD.
Damn no fixes to Quick Match? I’d be using Quick Match all the time if it weren’t hit or miss with bugs. I keep getting glitches on quick match. They need to fix it and add a party join system and voice chat
PD needs to get a solid online system up pretty soon, because even I would rather keep racing my I-A races than look for a room with 12 good racers. And around that, a good constellation of community features, like Leaderboards, Race Mod, Livery Editor, Event Maker, Course Maker, sharing and selling, hopefully a marketplace…
I know this all makes GT6 seem like a beta, like every Windoze release, but I’d much rather be playing GT6 than 5.
Someone is in fantasy land again. You’re talking about GT7 or 8 at best, if then.
He was. That would be a pointless endeavor as an update…
Has anyone realized we are PDs beta testers? Shame they cain’t do this in house. But l guess it’s a price to pay for free stuff.
You guys DO realize that probably at least 85% of GT players have no idea what Project CARS even is, right? It’s not a “juggernaut”. They’re gonna have some serious work cut out for them if they plan on shooting down PD.
This has become a big unfunny mess and it’s depressing.. used to look forward to a great game in Gran Turismo.. these days I look at it with a grimace and though half closed eyes. Updates to fix broken updates upon other broken updates and no real content. I really hope they can come back with a decent GT7 or won’t be going near a PS4 any time soon.
Now with the update out 1st of November this allows pd 2 months to sort out its December update
PD has nothing to sort out with GT6, all that needs sorting is a timely release of GT7 for the PS4, because tick tock, November 18th, there will be tumbleweed on Willow Springs.
I am happy for this minor update, it needed fixing.
They better not class this as the “October update” as I’d be pissed if they were holding out on the release of a patch to some serious bugs till October 1st just so they could claim that they’ve released an update every month.
You see all these posts about how “GREAT” Project Cars is going to be but Online could be a right dog. Oh yeah it looks fine and dandy and all that but I would wait till you have it in your hands to be honest.
As for the update. Well we will have to wait and see.
I seen a video of PCarS that had 30 players online. Game changing if it happens on the PS4.
weird, GT6 is one of best working games on my PS3, everything else I play have more problems…
maybe its because I play GT6 rarely and almost no online… its been a while, but those boring seasonal events all are the same.. racing in gt is nothing like in real world… only online, at least I remember in GT5 there was qualify, tire wear, practice laps, mechanical damage, race rules and difficult human opponents – everything what single player does not have.. PD have to look into major difference between online and offline.. I would play GT more, the engine and game itself is superb, but that repetitive single player and seasonal events get boring after half a hour for me.. I always give it a chance.. maybe I m too old for gaming…
Pretty sure GT5 didn’t have qualifying online, Online practice and Race. GT6 however does have Qualifying, Mechanical damage and the other things you listed.
this mean new problems coming soon….
Well, I still can’t watch anyone’s replay in the Seasonal Events. That really stinks…
Normally the replays are saved. In your gallery. And then you can watch it.
Hot fixes, not a update because no new/promise content!
It’s an update because they gave it a version number. v1.13…
About time, i wonder if the can see the PCARs Juggernaut about to T-Bone them ?
yes dear…
Racing sims only dazzle racing sim fans. I think DriveClub is going to sell as well or better than P CARS, and no one considers it a juggernaut.
GRID was supposedly going to be this stupendous racer to give GT6 a run for its money, it fizzled. Forza was supposedly going to T-Bone Gran Turismo, never happened, and that was your guys’ last hope for serious competition. Instead, it’s a lesser rival.
You might as well get over the fact that the juggernaut every other racing dev keeps chasing is Gran Turismo. Even sorry ol’ GT6.
@Tenacious D +1 :D
I disagree with D. If forza could be played on ps3, I doubt most people would stick with Gt. I sure as heck wouldn’t and that is coming from a long time Gt fan.
+1 @ Jack.
Nothing has ever made me consider leaving GT until Project CarS grazed into my consciousness. And I’d gladly play Horizon 2 over GT6 if it was on PS3/PS4. PD is lucky Turn 10/
Playground Games aren’t multiplatform. PCarS is gonna change that however.
@ Jack
Well, that’s you. I have all the Forzas on XBox and 360, and the Horizons don’t interest me in the least. On Forza 4, all I do is make race cars and paint them. But I’m usually too busy with GT6 to want to drag myself over to the Leet, which came back from the shop a couple weeks ago, and barely touched.
I know it may shock you guys, but some of us really dig GT6. And that would include me.
One more thing about the awesomeness which is Forza. Supposedly. Well, the 360 and Forza 4 is pretty cheap right now, and it’s not exactly flying onto the intranets in huge numbers. Oh well for theories.
It’s not Forza that I’m against. It’s the XBox.
Yes! Finally!
