(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I didn't upgrade to 2.12 on my accounts. (Got a different region disc to start them up again, but kept them also at 2.11) But the problem i had was that all my drivers were online.

Here is the way to take them offline again.

I used BruteForce and HxD, so repeat at your own risk.

And *ALWAYS* make a backup before starting.

Around F110 you got a line saying 04 07 81 94 01 XX
OR 04 07 81 95 01 XX
Maybe yours is a bit different.

This line repeats itself as many times as you have drivers . (Add 0X20, or look two lines below in HxD for the next one.)
So look for the repitition to see if you got the correct one.

XX=00 offline
XX=01 online

I made all XX=00.

About one line down are three bytes which are 00 00 00 for an offline driver, and a big number for an online one.
(This data is in between the lines mentioned above)

They look like this:
07 81 98 0F 00 00 00 00 00 XX XX XX 09
Or
07 81 97 0F 00 00 00 00 00 XX XX XX 09
Maybe yours is a bit different.


I had numbers like D4 0C 20 and D8 78 2B. For two save games and the last number increases a bit for each driver.

So i cleared all the XX XX XX to 00 00 00.

So totaly clear 4 bytes with 00 to take one driver offline.

I repeated this for 6 drivers, and now all my drivers are offline!!

Use at your own risk!

Thanks for the tip mate.

Ill check it out when i get my NTSC copy of the game.

I still haven't booted up GT5 since the last update. I'm playing it safe lol

Just stay offline. (XMB->settings->network settings->internet connection turn to disable)
Now you are offline. Than check if you got drivers online. If so, make a backup of your save game, better two.
Now you can edit your savegame, if you put this back on the ps3 you can check if it worked.

Thanks for the tutorial, I too am sticking only to 2.11 patch. I do see there is a pattern from my save game but I've tried "nullifying" data which didn't actually work. So this screenie was what it was before I "nullified" those areas:

All my B-spec drivers (6 of them) were set to online prior to 2.12 patch and I'll never agree to updating to 2.12 patch nor will I be tempted to buy another region of the same game just to be able to keep those "purists" happy.

Anyway I've summed down that there are two parts you have to modify based on your tutorial. Instead of 04 07 81 9{4,5} 01 XX mine seems to be 04 07 81 AF 01 XX. There were six of those matching that exact same pattern so I guess it would be safe to say that they were the six B-spec drivers. I've nullified those six, made them 04 07 81 AF 01 00 instead of 04 07 81 AF 01 01.

The second part gets a bit muddy for me. In my case where there's a matching string of 00 00 00 it appears to be F130 offset (for the first one). I see D5 17 {B9,BC,BD,..}. As I have all of my B-spec drivers shared I cannot compare them with an offline B-spec driver. Though taking in what you said in which to nullify three bytes high hex numbers along with what was need to be done in the first part (which is just nullifying one byte) it seems to have not made any effect to my B-spec drivers. All my B-spec drivers still remains to be set online still even though when I'm still offline.

Any hints? T.I.A

Did you do both parts of the tutorial, or just the one byte?
As you need to do both.
You look to be in the right part, so i just work from your file.

Set to 00 the following bytes:
F11E (First driver part 1)
F13E
F15E
F17E
F19E
F1BE (6th driver)

Than enter 00 00 00 for:

F132-F134
F152-F154
F172-F174
F192-F194
F1B2-F1B4
F1D2-F1D4

This should get them all offline.

Let me know if it worked.

Thanks, going to do it now. Pretty sure I did those, maybe not all though. Will let you know if it works!

**Update**: It worked, thanks!. I guess I must have missed the last part where I had to change the last array of 3 bytes. It was most likely with the 6th driver having the hex numbers ending in 07 instead of 09 when I looked closely.

Before I actually thought it was odd when I edited 5 out 6 array. They all ended in 09 but the last one (which ended in 07) I thought was not part of the B-spec drivers data array. I'd say one really needed to do all or as many as they set 00 in the first portion.

Good to hear!

I am glad it worked out, and with your picture others should find the bits easier to find.

Hopefully, the screenie begs for improvement though lol (i.e. required editing portions are not marked on the screen).

Have no fear! :nerd:

Photoshop is my middle name

Everything in blue or red should be 00
The markers are around them.

Cheers . Using GIMP and am a beginner at it hahaha.
