Probleme mit der Onlinekomponente von Gran Turismo 5

Gran Turismo 5 ist das Spiel des Jahres, auf das viele PS3 Fans sehnsüchtig gewartet haben. Allerdings verläuft die Launch-Phase nicht ganz glatt und es kommt zu dem einen oder anderen Problem mit der Onlinekomponente des Spiels.

Selbst Sony gibt das auf der offiziellen Website zu und rät deshalb (vor allem wenn man Offline spielen will), sich erst gar nicht im PSN anzumelden. Denn Gran Turismo 5 greift nicht nur auf die Onlineserver zu, wenn man gegen andere Spieler via Internet zocken will, sondern es werden im Hintergrund auch dann Daten aktualisiert, wenn man zum Beispiel im Einzelspielermodus \"GT Mode\" unterwegs ist. Das Resultat: Lange Ladezeiten beim Wechseln zB. von Foto-Modus zum GT Mode Hauptbildschirm.

Natülich arbeiten die Entwickler an mehreren Lösungen.

Anbei die offizielle Erklärung / Notiz.

Because GT5 performs online access not only when participating in online races and using community features, but also when starting the game and during the various screen displays in GT Mode, unfortunately this online congestion is also affecting standard gameplay.

If you are experiencing the following symptoms, we recommend that you temporarily play GT5 without connecting the PlayStation 3 (PS3) to the network.

(A) If you are finding it takes several minutes before being able to perform any actions in the following screens:

• Before the start of the opening movie, immediately after launching the game
• At the top screen after the game has started
• In various screens within GT Mode

(B) Or, when it takes several minutes or more to gain a result when the following operations are performed:

• When entering the open lobby, if it takes several minutes or more before the room list is acquired and displayed.
• When clicking on an ID in the participant list of a room, if it takes several minutes or more before the menu appears.
• When writing on the message boards within \"Community\", if it is taking several minutes or more for your posts to appear.

* Also, some of the following features have been limited intentionally as a measure to temporarily alleviate some of the network traffic. Due to these limitations, you will find that:

• The viewing and update of the in the Community section of GT Mode has been temporarily disabled.
• Changes to the Profile may not update in some cases.
• Changes to the Friend List may not update in some cases.

Currently we are simultaneously working on several different solutions to improve the network status and alleviate the network congestion as soon as possible. We are expecting to be able to provide a proper online service again soon.

We sincerely apologize to our customers for the inconvenience.
