Gran Turismo 5: “Extreme Online Congestion” Screws Up Singleplayer Too
Sony has attributed Gran Turismo 5 lag to “extreme online traffic congestion”.
Not only multiplayer, but singleplayer is also affected as everything is dependent on online servers. So, now you know why it’s taking forever to load menus in singleplayer games.
Apparently delays of “several minutes” even when browsing the game’s menus are common as Gran Turismo 5 connects online even “when starting the game and during the various screen displays in GT Mode”.
The fix? Disconnect your PS3 from the internet and play in offline mode until Sony has a fix.
