Bad audio problems, mic's won't come through clearly or at all usually, unstable online connection. Why does this happen when we go here? I remember reading the track had issues but I don't know why. My friends and I were on gt6 all day and everytime we tried to go to bathurst the chat would go, or we'd get booted. Otherwise not a single issue with the game (9+ hours). Even the game sound effects don't work properly. Afaik this is an online issue only?

Nobody knows for certain and it doesn't happen to everyone. Happens to me all the time, so much so that if a track vote goes to Bathurst I usually quit the lobby in case I freeze up. For sure I'd have audio cut out if I stayed. Only track it happens on for me too.

I used to be unaffected but after this update I literally can't race there. It degrades until disco...

Yep, this is a universal problem that has become worse since 1.06 update :-( The lockups that people experience are the worse part. This is where not only the game freezes but when the PS3 also locks up and the only solution is pulling the plug and then having to go through the mundane operation of rebooting and all the file reconstruction process.

Some nights are worse than others but we have found that it can be reduced by doing a few simple things.

1) Start the session off by going to another track first.
2) Once at Bathurst never stay in the lobby. Either be on track, in your garage or tuning screen
3) Also the chat is clear in these screens as well so do your gasbagging from there
4) Boot anyone that shows the slightest bit of lag (not conducive to making new friends though)
5) And from personal experience, just give up after the 3rd lock up, it was just not your night ;-)

Why does it happen you ask, it's because GT6 is a broken, half assed, incomplete Beta release game that has been cobbled together by a company that just wanted to squeeze the last few dollars out of their fan base on a superseded console. They have our money and they don't care!

I thought my ps3 was dying. Because of all the freezes and reconstructs, but since avoiding bathurst for a week I haven't had a single problem.

Your PS3 is fine ;-) Try the tips I suggest or avoid the track and wait/hope the PD programmers can get the heads out of their Redbull and Sake long enough to fix the issues. But, believing in the Easter Bunny is also a viable option too and is likely to produce better results ;-)

For the record, Bathurst has had issues from day one with sound dropouts and people being randomly kicked it is just that some updates have exacerbated the issues more than others. There is obviously a problem somewhere in the base coding for this track and update 1.06 has made it even worse.
 
I havent had any problems at bathurst at all until update 1.06. Now it just freezes pretty much anytime i am on there online. Its a joke. A joke i am getting tired of very fast!
 
I also had freezes there online unfortunately. Aside from Bathurst online I never had any issues online or offline with GT6. A shame really as I really love the track.
 
Bathurst is my favorite track, I have about 6,000 miles on it according to my stats. I haven't run it since the last update, online anyway.
