Maintenance ? (11 dec 14:40 WET)

Sentry23 · Dec 11, 2010

Sorry if this has been posted, since I can;t find any reference..
For the last 2 hours I can't get online, and am getting a server maintenance notice, telling me to look at gran-turismo.com.
There is nothing there though.
Is this a glitch on my side (PSN works without issues) or are others having the same issue ?

theyre doing server maintenance.

Does this mean if we complete challenges etc... they won't be 'saved'?

Dude its maintenece there just fixing the ONLINE servers. It has nothing to do with save data. You can do A-spec an B-spec or whatever an it will save.

For me, servers have been down for 11 hours so far...how long can maintenance take?

ROYALEFATALE · Dec 11, 2010

x2, it's been at least 8 hours for me, possibly more, pretty unusual, especially during peak hours on the weekend with no good explanations as to what they're doing

12hours

HKS-V · Dec 11, 2010

It's been shut down for over 12 hours. I've been playing gt5 for way too long today and the online part only worked in the moring. Why would it take so long? The official website doesn't say anything about it..

Not sure about the maintenance bit...

GT_Scrub · Dec 11, 2010

RedBull_2_M3RK · Dec 12, 2010

Phantom3D · Dec 12, 2010

Rocket Punch · Dec 12, 2010

I bet it had something to do with the B-Spec PC browser thing....

It has to be as you cant set the drivers to online now/share with friends.

They are all just showing in my profile now like there isnt an option but to have them there

That's because they turned off your ability to go online, so how could you possibly set them to share with friends?

thats pretty damn funny

RedBull_2_M3RK · Dec 12, 2010

Lol like it actually happens,

Obli · Dec 12, 2010

I'm guessing (and hoping) that *someone* is working on this today!

EDIT: Servers are back up. Nothing new (at a glance). The latest news post states that there was a problem with the Gran Turismo online servers. Changes players made to aspects of the game that are integrated with the community (profile pic, sharing cars, photos and tracks) made between 08:00 - 12:40 on December 11th may not have been saved and could require updating.

Possible denial of service attack on gt servers?
