GT Sport's Next Update Arrives January 9

PD= Polyphony Digital

Yes, we know. However @DesertPenguin was making a joke because you didn't type PD. You typed DP - which could be short for Desert Penguin.

One thing comes to attention:
If it's a server maintenance, then it would be a simple fix.
but as it contains an update it is possible that DP is coding some command to first ADJUST and then ACTIVATE.

I know another two words DP could stand for but don't know if it's safe to write them here. I don't want another warning (got 2 already).

That's a third warning! #Gaslighting

Duck pond?

That's both something not to be particularly joyful about, and something best kept between you and the staff.

 

[SmokeyMR2]

Says fixed the split compound tyre issue. Wasnt that already fixed?

There was a way you could still get away with using hybrid tires, its that I'm guessing they have fixed.

I always assume it's Dragon Punch given my Street Fighter playing days.

Daytona Prototype?

This thread took an interesting turn....

6 second penalties for all of you.

Ugh, don't you hate when people are Double Parked?

A classic Nickelodeon cartoon from 2000s suddenly came into my mind.

Got it. Fair enough. 👍

Dynamic Positioning (if you are in the maritime world)

Dubious Penalties?

 

[TurboTacho]

Strangely, but anyone lagging badly with the Livery Collections? I've got trouble checking out my saved liveries and changing them here.

 

[WheelmanSteve]

Cautiously optimistic, although I have more of a problem with the penalties for deliberate contact NOT being harsh enough...

 

[O604]

How does my old basic phone download and copy faster than a PS?

PS4 runs like a PC mining bitcoins in the background.

Yeah, my biggest issue with the penalty system is that it seems to dish out penalties to everyone except the people that deserve it.

You know something is horribly wrong when a game takes longer to update than it does to actually install

Hahaha! It's becoming a norm that the update takes way longer and forever.

This update kind of wrecked the livery download for me. I've been getting livery data download error numerous times, despite my PS4 sitting literally next to the network router with no internet connection issues.

 

[GTvsForza]

This update isn't much of a Birthday present...

 

[imported_rik19]

Just tried GT since the update, and super slow menus, livery part etc etc oh no....

Mines been fine. Could be your connection?

I read somewhere that PS updates take so long because they're basically reinstalling the game with the new code put into it.

 

[BjoBosUndies]

Has the ABS glitch been fixed?

 

[joegrafter]

so what have they done? weekly race gr3 autodrome lago maggiore , the turn after long straight, guy rammed me off the track , didnt bother breaking , lost pos and he never got a penalty ???

 

[EinsTheOne]

It seems they can't find the middle ground between dishing out random penalties left and right and leaving dirty drivers completely unpunished...
We went from one extreme to another..

 

[Trone_Colby]

Yep. It seems that they turned off collision penalties. You can push or get pushed with no penalty now. Expect more of this...

Becouse Your phone does not copy 116 GB of data.

 

[SirCorwinek]

I read somewhere that PS updates take so long because they're basically reinstalling the game with the new code put into it.

So, your PS4 has downloaded the update file for, say, Gran Turismo (116GB) It then needs to install it, and it does this by basically copying the whole game file, and adds the patch in the process. Long story short, this process helps to prevent file corruption, but take lot of time. Bigger game = more time.

So, beside Duck Pics, what's new in this version? Only thing I've noticed is that ppl can trash you more without getting penalties. Was used as a berm twice in race 2 and I went of and spun w/o other guy getting any penalty. Once I got one though when someone passed me and turned in infront too early.
