Didn't they say this update was for some fixes they needed to make.

maybe but i think they would have advertised this kind of patch, here jsut the day before the dlc seems to be to be a general update. However i haven't already downloaded it, just my 2 cent.
 
Couldn't they just have put whatever is needed within the DLC. Excuse my ignorance.
 
Sadly broken FFB on PS3 hasn't been fixed (at least with fanatec wheel) !!!!
I'm going to sell my ps3 version and get a Xbox 360 version.

I tried both versions with my fanatec wheel and there's nothing to say....the Xbox360 version was another game .... a better game !

At first, I didn't have have the chance to test xbox version.
I played on my ps3 shift2 and tried to deal with it. I thought the ps3 version was not so bad and only needed to be improved a little.... after a few days, IA and broken FFB forced me to give up :(

Then, I could test the 360 version still with my fanatec Gt2 wheel , I then realised that the ps3 version what completely fu@@ed up as Raudy an others Gtposters said.

I've just grabbed the update (PS3) - just tried it quickly & the controls seem a bit more responsive to me...I haven't played it for quite a while as i've been waiting for the update, but it does seem better - hopefully not a placebo :P
 
Feels like a good update.

The FFB has changed (PS3/G25/Elite/ABS only) for the better. Before, the wheel would go totally loose at the limits with no FFB at all. Now, FFB responds in a more positive way.

It also feels like I can put the car more towards where I want it, but still not as clinically as in GT5.

I've only tried hot lapping so far. Hopefully they did something about the exaggerated crash/damge model too (i.e. slight bump sends your car towards the clouds).

EDIT: I've also noticed the annoying spike in throttle when shifting manually has gone.

Am eagerly waiting to see for myself if this has made much difference!


Edit: The rolling starts on the Eliminator races has changed, on the Viper Race anyway. The grid now slows right down to 20MPH just before the green light. I though this ws a glitch at first, but it happens everytime now.

Edit 2: I agree that the FFB seems a little different, especially at high speeds. Am still not sure if the input is better now or if I'm used to the game. Could also be a placebo effect like someone mentioned above.

I was surprised too when I saw the patch ready when I booted the game. Clearly the patch came direct from EA, and the PS3's connectivity
to the internet is not dependant on the PSN?

Right. My Netflix still works even though I'm not in PSN. Cool, downloading in a minute. :)
 
Input lag hasn't been fixed. I used my works converted Lambo to test...still swervin' on the high speed straights. Oh well, back to the PC version.
 
It still freezes when I drive fast cars really fast (on nordschleife).
Seems like it can handle higher speeds now, it used to freeze around 300 km/h, now it didn't freeze until I went faster than 400 km/h.

"Need for speed" my behind ;)
 
Hmmm. Now I'm not so sure.

I jumped back into a car that I had previously driven and noticed that the faults were back, to some extent anyway. Maybe I have noticed a few inconsistencies between cars.

The two cars in question here are the GT3-RS and Supra. Supra has a smooth gear change and more FFB at the limit: 911 was still spiking the throttle on shifts and did have a slack feel to the FFB at the edge of grip (though the range felt smaller, which might be a result of some minor control adjustments I made).

More track time required!
 
We are still presuming this is a Patch, it might still be for the DLC, if it was a Patch, wouldn't the developer tell us what was fixed?? Or am i being Naive.
 
Just looked at trophy list and there are the dlc ones there, so could just be a dlc patch as someone else pointed out.

This is a good point. I have tried the LFA and it still feels laggy. I feel much better driving it now because I am used to the lag. The FFB does feel a little bit better, but again, I cannot be sure about this.

We shall see if any word from SMS enlightens us.
 
I honestly don't think this is the patch we are all so eagerly waiting for. The DLC is being released tomorrow. It makes sense that they'd have an update prior to that release.

Thus far (unless I missed it).., there is no information from EA/SMS with "patch notes".
 
This SAD crap game was released BROKEN and after ths patch or whatever its still BROKEN . All the bugs are still there including the -No bonus cash- Bug which for makes it unplayable .

Its clear this update was for the DLC only and SMS and EA have clearly prioritised pulling more money from there customers rather then fixing the shoddy mess that they have already charged people for !
 
In my opinion, i played 2 hours, nothing changed in game, they just prepare the game for the dlc, check ps3 trophies and you'll have all the new ones connected to dlc packges not only legend one.
