You guys realy think they are gonna fix anything during weekend :lol:

I'm not expecting anything anytime soon to be honest. Even Sony has to take some time off, but I'm not sure why they would leave us with that annoying maintenance message.
 
Hmm, Maybe a good time to do that Nurby 24hour race... Wonder if you get snow rather than Rain at the moment?
 
Well since we're offline, I'm gonna recommend Prototype 2 or Skyrim, they are both made for offline gameplay so they're quite good!
 
Trophies will count as soon as the PSN services are back again....

Dusting off my MGS4 copy
 
I'm not sure what they "improve" when they do these ridiculous maintenance periods but it's always slow and clunky so they might as well leave well enough alone and admit they have a horrible network.
 
I'm still wondering what they are going to work on/update they could have said it on that message when you try and connect -.-'
 
This maintenance is scheduled to end around 2:00am PDT (5:00am Eastern) Saturday January 19th.

So in theory, assuming we don't get another attack of the "PD's", it should be up at 9am GMT.
I'm getting the symptoms of withdrawal already, even logged in on my secondary account, which currently has no useable cars on it, just to get an online fix! :) (Just sat there and watched others race)

At least you're on!! Stop complaining!!! It has nothing to do with PD, this is Sony! Read much?

I've been waiting since 3pm Thursday for this, its 10:45pm Friday and I still can't get on!!

To those swapping accounts, I gotta call BS! Like every other maintenance, you could stay online as long as you were online when it began, you couldn't be online then sign out the sign back in, it wouldn't let you!! It's the same as when GT5 is going under maintenance, you could stay online as long as you were online before the start of the maintenance.

Edit: Sorry for my harshness but I'm fed up!!

I believe this link could probably end this thread if you all take time to look at it real quick 👍

This is what, the fourth or fifth time they've changed that time?

What will more likely end this thread is [edited to correct] SONY [/edit] getting their network back up and running, not them putting out another press release every 6 hours saying they're still 12 hours away from having it done.

Im sure this is a Sony Maintenance issue, not Polyphony Digital.

Amen bro, they keep changing the time so how are we suppose to believe anything now? From my earlier posts, they said it should go until the morning, guess what, its 11pm.

I got stuff to do during the week, so my only time to play is the weekends, how smart are they to do the service, now? This should have been done on a Monday or something!

Edit, I know it's Sony, I've snipped.
 
I am testing it now, I can get online on my HK account, US account, AUS account. Not on JP account.

All accounts that can get online can't access account management but online play is available.

I was in GT5 lounge for 3 hours, then I left the room about 3 hours ago. Playing Battlefield on my HK account right now, works fine.

Mate, I gotta call this as BS. I HAVE been able to sign in to two accounts (which had been signed in just prior to the downtime) and go into online aspects. Just no sending. I HAVE TRIED to sign in to another account which I had not used in a while and wasn't able to sign in. Just as per the already detailed points regarding this.

So I guess those who are able to do this could say you're full of it...BS, that is.

Sorry man, I'm just confused as why some people can sign in and out of accounts while some can't even sign in to one?

Edit, my account was last signed in on Wednesday morning, 1am.

Edit2, how am I full of it?

I had two accounts which were signed in and out of prior to start of maintenance...and could still sign into them just fine. And one which couldn't. was last used over a week ago.

Sorry about the agro in my reply...just got a bit going on here.

I do think there is a PD connection to this, yes it is being done by Sony, but I still reckon we'll find some 'things' have been done which are GT5 specific. Just a feeling I got. If I'm wrong about this, well and good. We'll see, I guess.
 
It's weird that some people who logged in in the days before the outage can still log in, and other can't. Sony offers no real explanation, just "you may be able to..."

Who knows the how or why of it? I know I'm locked out, so no GT5 for me for a bit.
 
I think it is because of the point tat having signed in the previous few days, I can still access those online aspects of the game, but am still unable to send items. I tried an account which hasn't been accessed for a week or so, and it's not letting me sign in to network. So all is explained.

It is interesting that we can access the network and online events, but can't send. Methinks there is more to this than meets the eye, maybe to do with the tickets which have been floating.

Answering here, not sniping, okay? Um, no....I signed in Thursday morning, single and only account, had gifted a few cars to a relative and within the previous 24 hrs made my first gift ever to someone from this firum....game has never been duped, I've cashed in every ticket the game has ever given me, and sometime Thursday afternoon tried to log in and have been refused ever since (Eastern TZ, so now 11:25 Fri night)....but y'all keep trying to explain it lol....need SOMETHING to do til morn :lol:

"Attack of the PD's" - Sarcasm: Constantly changing or postponing a promised schedule without warning/reason.

(I never said it was PD's fault, but I suppose because I never said it was Sony's fault someone would jump to the wrong conclusion)

My brother just connected to his PSN account, and he tried before but he couldn't

is it back on?

Got to try with mine when he stops playing
 
I've been facing the "undergoing maintenance" message for the past almost 2 days. I just got in!! What I did was first, try to sign in, fail, then I signed into my netfilx account, updated, and voila, it worked!! I exited netflix and I was still signed into PSN.

Those having issues, try this!

I don't know if it was luck or what, but I'm signed in!

Edit, I whole heartedly believe that this "maintenance" was to do with blocking hacks and such!

I'm waiting....got too many things to do that CAN'T get lost in some glitch if things go squirrely again....too late now for me to recover the lost day on bonus anyway....But good luck to ya!
 
Also I have seen that yes, I can race in seasonal events (doing so right now), yet can't access profiles of those on my friends list. It simply doesn't load their details. Yet it will show their logs in 'community'. But I can't upload gear to anyone.

This points very much to specific points of interest in that area as already referred to.
