GT6 fatal glitch?
« on: September 16, 2014, 03:37:42 PM »
Ok, I'm having a.... very irritating glitch with my copy of GT6. It all started about a couple of weeks ago. I just got done watching my DVD copy of Godzilla vs. Biollante on my PS3. I got bored so I put in GT6. I tried hosting my typical voice chat enabled room and that wouldn't load up. When I discovered it was a voice chat enabled room glitch I first thought "No big deal." but I missed talking so I deleted my game save data and tried reinstalling the updates. Well the XMB updates load up fine, but the GT6 updates.... or hotfixes, give me a failure to update installation process message. I've retried the installation process multiple times. Nothing seems to help.

I fear my copy of GT6 is dead since other games work perfectly on my PS3. Oh & yes, I have a 500 gig super slim PS3. Any advice?

Something tells me you are supposed to delete game install data and keep game save data. Hopefully you have your save data on a thumb drive so you don't have to start all over. I would make sure you have uninstalled game data and try a clean install again.

Unfortunately I tried that on a few occasions thinking the same thing and that didn't work.

Oh & yes I have my GT6 game data on my thumb drive.

Are you downloading updates over WiFi?

I've read that can cause some problems.

If you deleting anything, make sure it is the game updates.

Then update through the XMB, not in-game.

I haven't tried that yet since I thought it was essentialy the exact same thing and would thus lead to more fustration & failure

Before 1.12, it seems to make a difference.

From 1.12, it may not necessarilly make any difference.

It didn't make a difference. I tried updating the game through the XMB and the in game installation still fails. I guess I'm stuck with no GT6. :(

Call Sony. This sounds like the case of corrupted data in the system that I have seen on two separate occasions, My brother Fran_Chise had the issue with GT6 and my friend Spiritfighter##sumthin had it with GT5. They will walk you through how to repair the issue.

Huh? How could that be? I restored the system to factory default twice?

*Shrugs and sighs* Did your brother & your friend have to mail in their PS3's to Sony after calling them or is this a case by case basis type thing?

Any progress on this one?



There are some times when a simple delete and install just don't seem to work. I can't explain that and I am not sure of any simple solution.

There are some things that you can try, though.

No progress has been made, but I am interested in trying those things you're hinting at. However if they involve getting into the PS3's safe mode. I have already tried every option in that menu and it didn't fix my issue.

Ok, I have posted various topics asking for help on this issue on every GT related forum I could think of. Hopefully someone between the combined mindpower of my fellow furs, the Tuna, & the rest of the GT community can find a remedy. ;)

No they did not.

Also, for an FYI, one of those consoles was a two week old superslim. Simply resetting to factory is not the solution.
