GT5 Update Coming October 27th
Just as the North American gamers are getting to grips with yesterday’s DLC addition, Kazunori Yamauchi has announced a game update. The update will address issues gamers have brought up with the Spec 2.0 version of the game released earlier this month:
We will be doing an October GT5 update in North America and Europe, planned for Oct. 27th. This will consist of:
1. Kart Space I/II of the DLC will become drivable with cars other than Karts in the online lounge and free run of Practice
2. Expanded restriction options for cars in the online lounge [Car Restrictions], [Performance Points], [Power], and [Car Model] regulations will be possible to set simultaneously.
3. Fix for issues in: Setting sheets, G25/27, resuming from pits in endurance races, TC car numbers and LSD settings, etc.
Many more minor adjustments have been made, but something like this.

Glad to see the Car models restriction option for lobbies, gonne be nice to be able to choose certain cars from your own garage rather then from the recommended garage option!

I really like these small patches and updates, it shows that PD really appreciates our investment in GT5 (released almost a year ago!). I played the 1.00 (non-updated) version of the game at my friend’s, and believe me, this is a 50% better game after Spec II. The menus, loadings, jaggies, AI were much worse back then!

Does this mean they are going to fix the endurance races in A-Spec? I played the Miata 4 hour endurance, stopped half way, came back to play the following day, and it turned in “B-Spec”…. meaning, the car was driving itself and I wasnt ever able to control it or tell when to go to the pits… 3 hours wasted.

Polyphony, you guys rock!
I seriously don’t know of any other game (in my personal experience) that has had so many game updates and new features added, for free.
We all (even those who won’t admit it) appreciate your hard work!

Yeah the credit system is a little messed up. I don’t think that they’ll change it though.

I geuss we al want to see that 20 milion limit to be higher much higher..plaease make it 50m our like in the older GT series 99m.
Now if you want to buy A old car there is no money left to paint our do what ever witjh it.
I now you can put suf in to youre accessoirers list, mine is stufft with tires and motor parts.
but they really need to put that limit higher !!!!!! -

now that I think about it kart space pit width is TINY….I’m guessing it’ll start you on the track and be a no pit situation like eifel kart

drift in kart space!!!! I want to see a picture of kart space with about 10 cars SMOKING around it. going to be cool!!!
please let this add more throw to my g27 clutch pedal and power on shifting with the clutch “power shifting” instead of catching neutral!! real cars can do it…drift cars do it….. hopefully. NOT a complaint but more of wishful thinking. still love it as it is.

B spec arcade sounds silly to me. I found to hole b-spec silly and amateur
It needs a much better system management and it requires more or better commandos
And the AI is realy stupid, cars bumping in to one and another when they overtakeour cet lapt.
I want to be able to manage my driver and not give him every 20 seconds orders of what to do.

It only updates if you leave the game and re-open it.
All that will happen is you will lose network connection. Your race will still be going on.
I know because I was playing the game when an update came out. I could not access OCD, or other online services, but all offline services worked perfect.
You will be fine. -

Disconect internet? 24hr of le mans, is offline race, no problem?, Star GT5 whitout Internet conecction!
correct me if I’m wrong.

Yes, the 24 hour race is offline, so it will work.
When the update goes live, internet services in the game will no longer work until the game is updated.
Offline services will still function normally.

with al the updates and DLC that is coming to us GT6 will take a while to come out, I guess it will be coming out with the PS4, our later.
I really don’t care about the standard cars, except some racing cars in the standard section.
But then again I hardly use them.
I hope in the future they will give more freedom of choice with the DLC, so we can buy one car at the time, and chose which paint scheme we want the same with the suits and helmets.
But overall I, am really happy with this game.
I hope the update of tomorrow give us the option to block and ban the redbulls from online events, so you don’t have to kick them out every time they so up with that hideous and silly unnecessary car.
its a wannabe car that never shut have been in the game in the first palace, and in online events they are a pain in the …………
I hope in the future we will see more GT1, GT2, GT3 and GT4 cars en hopefully you will give us the option to race with these different classes in the endurance races, such as LE MANKeep up the good work PD and thank you for every thing you guys and girls have don for us so far.
