Or a very much needed overhaul of the online servers.

Isnt that Sonys job fixing the servers? I thought they provided all servers for online use. Could be wrong though.

 

[Hypergolem]

I hope it is for the remote play with the Vita!

Nope, each party provides their own servers if they have online functionality.

Has nothing to do with GT5.

Knock wood they scheduled this rather large maintenance to fix the bloody connection problems a lot of people have been experiencing the last 2 weeks (mister dog included).

It's driving me nuts! NUTS!

I don't put a lot of stock in duration times. Sometimes they're longer, sometimes shorter.

 

[diegorborges]

So, it's already happening? The maintenance?

It has everything to do with GT5... if it means i can play gt5 on my VITA

 

[madeye]

Today is such a bore with no online mode

I decided to do the B Spec races today instead of the licences.

 

[sikbeta]

Must be the new livery editor update.

Too big for DLC. Hinted at for GT6 by kaz.

"Too big" was in a metaphorical sense, as in "if we start adding things like a livery editor though patches/DLC, what would we be including in GT6?".

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah there comes a point when they have to start holding stuff back for the next game.

 

[Bhowe83]

Is the maintenance over yet?

 

[NjLowrider]

Im online on the east coast

 

[J-KiLLA24]

[Ferrari458Italia]

Im online on the east coast

Sweet I hope I can get on too, east coast also.

 

[SnakeEyes427]

West coast is up as well.

 

[madeye]

Anyone know what was changed?

 

[McClarenDesign]

Anyone know what was changed?

Server maintenance is exactly that.

 

[mister dog]

Don't wanna cry victory to soon, but i started up the game this morning first time after the maintenance and it loaded lightning-fast without any connection problems at all.

And i've been struggling hopelessly since 2 weeks with the game not loading and connection cuts. My guess is they used this large maintenance to fix this same thing.

Not everyone had the problems but i remember a lot of people posting about the same issues at about the same time as it started with me.

So they must have known about it at PD and needed a whole workday to fix their servers. Would be nice if they would be more transparent about these things and admit there is something wrong on their side causing us misery; instead of not communicating nothing and secretly fixing it some weeks later.

But then again maybe i log in later today and it starts over again...
Anyone else had huge connection problems the last weeks and today they disappeared all of a sudden?
