Hey, we all know GT6 is quite the chore with updates and installation but what about installing a fresh copy of GT5? I've decided to play again, but is it more straight forward than GT6? IIRC, you just install to the HDD from the main menu, but what about updates/patches? GT6 threw a fit if you installed too many in a row.

Thanks for any insight.
 
Depends on what Version you have. The Academy Edition was the latest. But, the XL has to be updated first to Spec 2.02 or .01. It’s not terribly difficult to update this compared to GT6, however, that depends if you want to make hybrid cars in 2.11. Just keep in mind that.
 
Get the latest version; GT Academy for EU, or GTXL for US. Updating from the Academy Edition took a few minutes, one download, all done, no fuss (nothing like GT6).
 
crap, I have the original release version. Any tips on updating that one?

It'll just take a bit longer to do, that's all. Still has none of the hassles that GT6 has.


👍
 
VBR's posts and JakeMR2's post above when combined have it spot on... update to 2.11 as mentioned and stop there for the best results in overall use with GT5...
