Parkhorst Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Hey everyone! Is it just me or are the updates for this game unavailble? Did they somehow die with any other server shutdows (except the ones back in the days)? I can't get them to download at all... According the the in-game manual my version number is 1.00.52xxx, so it should be the unpatched version. And it should be the standard edition of the game, too, since I got the 'classic' transparent case... Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingFever Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 It's a glitch, because other PS3 games are having issues as well with not being able to download any patches. All you can do is email the devs and Publisher and ask them to look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emboliformis Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I have the same problem. The ps3 claims that the latest version is installed, but it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G2F4U Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Same for me just tested it. deleted gt5 and re started the game and no updates to download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingFever Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 This appears to only affect the EU, because the US version updates just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if the save files are compatible between the US and the EU versions? Edit: Found an old gtplanet thread. They say it's not compatible.

I recently approached Sony Interactive Europe and Germany and all i got were some mails with generic text blocks about how to restart/reboot my PS3. I guess it doesn't really make any difference if you write them or not since it's an 11 year old game on a dying system anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance_87 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) They don't even know what a "Gran Turismo 5" is. Poor us...

Street Fighter 3 had issues until recently but that was fixed. The other games with issues are Hitman: Absolution and Smash Cars but so far this problem only seems to affect the EU. 20 minutes ago, Parkhorst said: I recently approached Sony Interactive Europe and Germany and all i got were some mails with generic text blocks about how to restart/reboot my PS3.

Try emailing the devs instead i.e. Polyphony Digital. 36 minutes ago, emboliformis said: Do you know if the save files are compatible between the US and the EU versions? Edit: Found an old gtplanet thread. They say it's not compatible. As a rule of thumb, all saves are region locked but you do get the rare exceptions to that rule - though GT5 isn't one of them.

ShinVeNNoM Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Is it known if the updates are on the disc for the Academy Edition? I see the additional content is on codes, but I wonder about the updates. I want to play this game in the future but this is worrying. I hope we won't have a bad surprise in that game updates will go down with the stores. But seeing that we basically have a bad news every day regarding Sony, I guess this would not surprise me ..

Yes but not all of them. At least until v2.07 or v2.08. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heitorlc Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Sorry for reviving this thread, but this game is still having problems about downloading patches? I am looking for trying to plat this game again, so I will need a new copy of the game (specifically a EU version), and I am a bit worried about not being possible to update anymore and lose my entire progress.
