try access gttv straight after without closing gt5p and the update will install. i had same thing happen.
 
After 9 attempts to download if finally worked and I am having a blast, I have done four races won two of them. I have been rammed twice but its not as bad as I expected.


Oh and I have noticed absolutely ZERO frame rate loss, it is running so well online.
 
sorry have ot share my experience. there was a driver who blatanly cut across turn 2 and the final turn of suzuka. however he kept getting in the lead and infront of me but i kept overtaking him again as he was penalised. was pretty funny to see.

sad though people are resorting to such cheating though.

Well that wasn't very clean. I noticed you ram other drivers when you could've avoided it. And you should know blocking other racers is illegal in racing leagues.
 
well, pardon my bad driving.

it's my first online race and i must say that i am trying as much as i can to give way to the STI but it rear bumped me instead. :nervous:
 
I won 5 races in a row then on the final lap of the 6th where I was infront a car intentionally rammed me real hard, later that lap he did the same to others it seem....... :(

His name was MugenSyura.

I admit I accidentally knocked a car off onto the dirt one race (side by side corning), his name was tommi(random numbers), sorry about that.
 
I am about to find my first online lobby.
 
so mine got to about 97%ish and got an error, so i went to GTTV and apparently it's redownloading the whole thing again instead of installing :ouch:
 
Just been in my first race where people were bumping and crashing into each other, while I was over taking them cleanly or not using them as air brakes.

But what made the race worst, was while people saw me racing clean they still tried to take me out big time, and even someone quitted the race when I overtook them with a clean move on the last lap.
 
I'm sure none of the other drivers I raced against are from GTP, they were all driving like a demolition derby, ramming me, cutting me off on purpose, just generally bad manners. Wish I could carry my gun in the car:) I won the 3 races I ran only because everyone else was busy hitting each other. Several drivers cars were shaking like crazy, they had little control over their cars. Think I'm going to race only with drivers from here I've raced with for the last 3 years, at least we drive like we're supposed to. But all that aside it was a blast:) This is gonna be fun.

Anyone getting bumped off during download? I did 5 times, I finally turned my computer off that shares a modem with my PS3's router, still got bumped, then unplugged the G25 and keyboard from the PS3 and got a clean download. Don't know if that had anything to do with it but it worked. Most likely their server is overloaded.

Also I was able to use my US PSN with no problem.
 
This is obviously a game that must be played with people you know. But seizure, that was horrible blocking.
 
I just had a great race on Fugi, Just beat a swarm of 5 red Ferrari F430's in my Nissan GTR.
 
My latest race I was in third on the last lap after still passing people with clean moves while there was a lot of smoke from the after drivers at times.

Final thoughts

Instead of finishing third, I finished last after someone took me out big time on the last two corners.
 
I tried one online race using an EVO IX and man was it laggy. But I'm really surprise how much nicer the driving feels especially with the G25, now that its possible to turn up the feedback strength I love how the driving feels the cars have a better sense of weight to them now. I'm not sure if PD updated the phyics but that also feels better IMO.
 
I have noticed that PD has not only added online mode to GT5P but they seem to have done many other small changes.

For example replays on Eiger forward has some different camera angles to what they had prior to the update, I think slow downs has been reduced if not eliminated also (I can't confirm yet as havent tryied single player races yet).
 
I hope I see any of you in one of the lobbies sometime.
 
One quick question: did they add photomode for this update?
 
thanks for the suggestions, i finnaly got through the instalation and such.

i can't even express how happy i am. they took WRS straight out of GTP and put it in the game. i mean, what are those time trials? almost the same thing... it's sooooo good. played for about 45 minutes there... ended up the day in 10th at eiger and 12th in london... god knows what tomorrow...

about the races, had only 2, one win and one 4th place. at first i was mad at the constant ramming, but i have a theory: since i was able to play without lag with a crappy 600k connection, it's clear that you will only notice lag by seeing cars jumping all around the track in front of you. if you have a bad connection, that's what happens, yu don't get the data from other users 100% of the time, hence the crazyness in front of you.

most importantly, that's why sometimes you end up hitting someone without even avoiding. you are running, then there's a lag for the guy with a crappy connection, and then bam, the other car shows up in front of you and there's no way to avoid.

i want to beleive that this explains somehow some of the crazy cheesyness going on...

back with more thoughts later.

They are still yet to add it. :(
 
I just had a really good one on one race against a guy in a Black Z06 (I was in a red Nissan GTR), good clean driver (his name was Rsben). 3 laps of Fugi was great to see the strengths and weaknesses of both cars.

Z06 had me on the straight, although I could get better exit speed on the last corner, and I did start to catch as I was in a draft near the end of the straight. Cornering and traction was the GTR's strength. Great really fun sensible race which I won in the GTR. :)
 
wow so i've yet to race a clean race, keep getting bumped by people clearly looking to take you out into corners, also have a lot of people trying to block and push you off the road on straights instead of letting you pass

ps. looks like the patch added a wall in that 599 Mission race, no more cheating make an easy 4mil
 
My First race... 4th because i keep getting bumped off the track.. how do i invite you guys to a game for a clean race

From the looks of things, there is no way to do this, but I hope there will be new online mode features added next month, like private lobbies with some luck.
 
First impressions from a seasoned online racer:

The worst experience I've had so far. I'm hoping it's the distance because the cars are jittery and in many cases disappear totally from the track then only to reappear as ghost cars at some unknown time.

Plenty of bumping that would’ve resulted in condemnation in any GT4 online race.

Apart from the new tracks, cars and overall graphics, this online experience is nothing compared to GT4 online even with lag. Seriously.

Poor so far.
