Well I wanted to talk about some serious stuff here. GT5 Online freeze is very big issue for all kind of players. Last month I played GT5 online a lot, I joined rooms, I created private lobbies, I created open internet lobbies (with and without friends), and everywhere I go i see some freeze (me or other players and friends reporting this to me) and only way to go, is to restart or quit the GT5 game (just in case, I have very good internet connection, my NAT type is 2, everything is fine in that area). This is a big thing and I see very small amount of people talking about it (and I know it does happen almost to everyone I asked), for some regulary for some rare, but it happens and it have to be fixed.
Problems starts when you play the game for some time, and then you go to "Open Lobby" when you enter, it just dont load any of pages and when you press "exit back to GT life" or "create game" it just freezes, tryed to wait for 10 min alot of times and more, just have to leave the game presing "PS3 button" and "Quit game" to restart then it works fine (sometimes it doesn't work at all, it seems it works better at the morning when people are at work) 50% of the time when I try to enter there I freeze, other guys more, other less. Ahhh yes, and it works Perfect every time when you are creating "Private lobby" (the white coffe cup), so this part is "Open Lobby" issue.
Next thing is when you created or joined lobby (doesnt really matter), you get alot of freeze in there, and only way to exit is Quit the game and rejoin. It starts when you enter lobby and for some reason you deside to look how other drivers are driving, everything is fine, until they have finished, when that happens for some reason game just freeze on results (dont get me wrong, not every time, but 30% of time it does, for alot of people), everybody who just had a race, for them everything is fine, but for you - freeze, so have to restart game. This problem can be "solved" by quiting "wach race" mode before finish.
Next thing is when you are a host of the "Open lobby" game (and I think in "Private lobby" as well), when race just had ended you cannot perform "vote track" or "choose track" action (not every time, its rare but it happens) you can perform any action, just can't select next track (icon is inactive). The only way you can fix this is to race again on this track that before and then it works (sometimes after some time it lets you to choose, but most of the time not - just race again), I noticed it happens a lot more in "Top gear test track" and its annoying (today it happened one time, after all day playing, other days alot more).
Next thing when you stay in the lobby (lets say playing with friends with microphone) just go and make some tea or sandwhich while other are racing, and when you got back game is in Freeze state, and again you have to restart it. So it dosnt like when you left it alone for a while (this never happened to me, but a lot of friends said it hapens, and today I was a host and saw with my own eyes this happening to many of my friends.)
There are more things to do, to get Freeze, but I cant remember at the moment, this I described was most, lets say "popular".
All this I described isnt just me, I talked to GT5 users who plays alot online, they all sayd "yes this happens".. what do you think about this? do you have this kind of problems Online or other? Maybe someone will know how to fix this.
PS. 95% of the time online works great, but those 5% that doesn't are sitting on my nerves a bit, since I love this game. :
