Gran Turismo Sport Closed Beta Coming March 17: First the US, Then EU Region

[Gunma36]

It's so frustrating until now...oh, you said that already...

 

[NICKname]

Do I need PS Plus to race?

 

[syntex123]

I don't remember US beta having such a hard start!? Still have to enter a single race at this time...

Well facts say GT is bigger in EU than USA, that's probably why. Nah idk.

Do I need PS Plus to race?

No. I haven't had PS+ for quite some time, but I still enjoyed racing at Brands with some guys.

ridiculous might be beta but surely gave enough bandwidth NE-210003ED then 0XFFFFFBFF was same with first race and how come some are racing in faster cars sls amg, gtr's etc and I get ford focus??

Anyone else notice time changing of race was 17:00 then 17:20 now 17:40 this could be a long night

 

[Lord Protector]

Finally, first race from PP, finished 1st

Not that long, after two restart the event just closes, as it happened with the first one.

Ok looks like it's back on now 👍

No you need blind luck.

 

[ghostrider135]

Well servers appear to be back, 5mins till race start, If it actually starts from the look of this thread I don't have many hopes for it actually working.

 

[outofspace]

I played a race, got kicked cause someone bumped on me & then another..Now this. I think nothing is going to change if they not get some dedicated servers! I can see the other players really smooth without lag but the servers are not seem to handle it

 

[TypeRDC5]

Tried 3 races and no joy, frustration but hey it's a free beta, it's not like i paid for it.

Hopefully it will all be sorted by tomorrow so can get on with some proper racing

 

[ghostrider135]

Surprise surprise entry failed, Thanks PD 5 minutes wasted 👍

 

[dr_slump]

Tried 6 times, only once it worked.

 

[Gunma36]

Only last event available, will try to enter, but I don't think I will be able to race...

 

[Drive_with_me]

Wow, servers are not prepared for such big numbers. Also keep in mind that it's easter, and not all beta testers are playing right now

 

[TetsuKobura]

Let's just hope when this game is released that their servers will be more reliable than McLaren Honda's engine.

 

[syntex123]

If you think for a minute they'll release the game in this unstable state you've got to be kidding me. Why do you think they have the beta test? To stresstest and fix the problems, not to see what's going on and what we do with it.

"Oh there's a lot of angry GTPlaneteers because our servers aren't capable. Oh well"

 

[RX-7_FD3S]

What a bad n300 race I had, made a couple of mistake -.- No lag this time, but 3 laps is not enough -.-

Leave Honda McLaren alone!

Things should obviously improve, but it's not like having a beta is some 100% guarantee of a solid final release.

Given the way the modern "AAA" games industry tends to release products with broken, buggy and unstable online components nowadays, I wouldn't be too surprised.

Guys remember you can send them suggestions here:

I would like to fully customize HUD.

Give it another day or two. I joined the US beta along with the bulk of the playerbase, and the first day was very hit or miss in terms of getting in. I imagine the servers are under their heaviest load now with both EU and NA betas live. Once people start dropping off, it should be come more stable.

Man, it's only 3 laps?

This just isn't cool for an iRacing-like focus. Completely sucks for the cars in the back or those who get bumped around early on.

But their problem is that longer races likely means longer wait times between races. So.....yea, they've got a hell of a job to figure this out.

Races are short because GT is (once again) pandering to the casuals. They need to make a really long race intentionally though at some point.

 

[doblocruiser]

Issue for me is not that the connection fails (it is à beta afterall). It is more the time you need before you van actually start racing in an online race!

 

[PletdeKoe]

I believe some people are in need of an Epic crying and whining thread

 

[syntex123]

Pffft let them. It's 100% understandable. Even I had to complain a little.

This is a beta. Lengthier races will be a must for those FIA license events and tournaments which are led up to by any legitimate, competitive races.

It is understandable, but would you just look at it?! Some of you people aren't issuing your concerns around any context, aside from the "gimme" mentality

Constantly getting disconnected. Like a random draw if I am able to stay connected or not.
