online rankings

[Zetec-ss]

are these world wide? or country? or regions?

I believe they are region free.

I believe they are region locked.

The japanese version records you see now in PAL version charts shouldn't be there, at least quoting the Team Coordinator from the Official GT Spanish Forum.

In English it says:

We are currently experiencing the following issue in the Time Trial and Drift Trial online ranking screens.

• There are player records from players in regions other than the SCEE version of GT5P being displayed in the rankings.

• If the ranking replay saved from these other versions are replayed in the European version, an error will occur and these cannot be played back correctly.

The GT5 Prologue Operations Team will be performing maintenance to correct this problem.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Now that's a shame.

It would've been nice to have every region in one database.

According to Trinitri, the problem has been solved, and you can still see the JP records online, and download and watch their replays.

If the problem persists, you just have to clear the cache from the game.

So good news.

Indeed.

Even more troubling is this could be taken as a sign of region lock when racing online, which I care much more than online ranking

sadly, I suspect that you're correct.

Sphinx goes off to order US version to go with EUR, JPN versions.

Well, from my point of view, if the "problem" has been solved, and the JP records are still there in our PAL charts (just checked it, the allien is there), that somehow means they will stay there, and won't be erased.

Does anyone know if there is a website where you can view the rankings.. other than by viewing them with a ps3 while playing gt5p??

thanks
