isnt anyone else getting problems of the game freezing in between load screens with the GT5 logo? It doesnt exactly freeze, but the music will continuously loop. I know it shouldnt be doing this because when i restart the game and go back to the same point, sometimes it only loads for 5 seconds and it's fine. This is messed up man......

on average, how long does yours take to load just going from let's say the premium dealerships back to the home screen? if i wait long enough, it will go back there, but it takes roughly 1.5 to 2 minutes. Which in the grand scheme of things isn't a HUGE deal, but dang, it's gonna add up. I heard about the long load times but with an 8 gig install, i figured that would help.

well, even though that sucks for both of us, it's a relief to know i'm not the only one with this "issue". all in all, it's not too bad of a game.

that makes sense that if it's trying to update data to the servers... like going to the grocery stores right now for your turkey day shopping. =o)

The main menu where the News thing is displayed will freeze if the connection is down, but after a minute it just brings up an error saying "Error connection could not be established", that's the only freezes i've had, seems very fluid to me(when it aint loading).

Yes the game loads very slow at certain points even after they say install it's the same story . There seems to be a bug because it gets stuck on GT loading Screen.

the true test of loading time differences seems to be when you're loading a track just before a race. i signed out of the PS network and those GT logo screens loaded in about 5-10 seconds instead of 1.5 - 2 minutes. I guess it really was just due to overloaded servers.

They spend 60+Million developing and 0 upgrading their servers.

What did they figure would happen when 2 million logon to their crappy servers.

Last money Polyphony is getting from me.

I think the servers are really full and the game tries to access them at certain points, even in offline play. Supposedly the latest update was supposed to fix that. I've only had one or two instances where it took quite a while to go from one menu to the next. Usually it's fairly reasonable. It has froze on me when going into a couple of the license tests though. Took forever to load them and then when it was done, it just sat there.

the issue with busy servers was announced in the gt 5 news section on the main menu, this network congestion means that loading times became quite long for some users, however i have been able to play without any hassles this past weekend, loading times were existent but not unbearably long... :)
