I have had them everywhere, even music rally when downloading rest of game. Difference is that with ‘offline’ incidents every car on track will pause while online only my car is affected…
I was racing in lobby last night with at least 3 other ps4 users and I was the only one experiencing these freeze issues. My ps4 is the original version, maybe that is the difference?

I'm on PS4 Pro and also have this. I've been in a lobby with several other PS4 players and many times I have been the only one with this problem. So it seems to be completely random as of now.
Maybe we can isolate this issue to some specific configurations, if all the people reading this thread share their setup like so:
Console, video output, controller.
For me that would be:
PS4 Pro, 4K + HDR, Fanatec CSW2.5 with Drivehub.

Happening on this week's Race C at Suzuka too - had a couple of races where people suddenly disappeared from in front of me, and then appeared a couple of seconds behind me. It's definitely not the usual lag glitch either, a new recent bug.
Don't know whether it's connected, but I also had a couple of races where the hill up to the esses after turn 2 seemed to be covered in ice on lap 1 - cars going off all over the place, including me!

PS4 slim, 6 yrs old Panasonic flatscreen, PS4 controllers, digital copy of GT7, PS4 system software is current, and internal HDD is 66% full.
(Will edit with specific numbers)
Quote: think PD have had a go at fixing jitter but created this issue instead. I mean how many people who get this problem used to get jitter? For me the jitter has gone, but now I get the freezing issue.
Had the jitters prior to 1.25/6 and only really noticed them when you got close to a PS5 player in a turn, and they would see me jittering also, now jitter is gone but the spectre of the "random time loss/ jump" is there, you know it can happen just you don't know if/ when.

As some of you said this is related to Fantatec wheels, I am sure it is not exclusive this brand. I've had a Logitech G29 up to a few weeks ago, and now I have a Thrustmaster wheel, this isssue was hapenning in both scenarios.
If I am to have a guess, it has to be something related to memory usage in the PS4, but it is just what I think...
I am hopeful that this gets fixed, becasue when testing if it was related to a fault in the PS4 console itself, I went back to GT Sport, played for some hours in lobbies and Sport mode races, with zero issues, and also in other demanding games like Bloodborne and God of War, they showed no issues as well...
Back in the day when the daily races had 20 cars in GT7, it was much worse than it is now

Does anyone READ my post above? I clearly stated this is not a "wheel" related issue, I am on a PS4 slim with controller and I get these skip/jumps. It is believed to be a RAM issue or a PS4/ PS5 incompatibility issue in lobbies. Overall this is affecting PS4 players not the PS5.

Has anyone with fanatec wheels having this issue, tried unplugging tge wheel and using a controller... annoying as that may be. Not sure how frequently this occurs for you.
If the issue doesn't re-emerge, can you roll back fanatec firmware on your wheel? May need hard reset then don't install latest firmware again.

I wouldn't mess with the firmware just to try and fix this issue. No telling what else this might do to your wheel. Eventually/hopefully the issue will be fixed anyway, then you'd have to mess around getting the wheel back to standard.

I’m using a PS4 pro and like all here, I have struggled with this issue in the dailies. It’s obvious that it is a PS4 problem and not related to controller or monitor, as has been mentioned. No one that I am aware of has reported this while on the PS5, and since it is unknown when or if this will be corrected, there are only two avenues; wait and carry on or find a PS5. As luck would have it, PS5s are now available through PlayStation direct (I think that is its proper title); I ordered one. No more slow lobby load times and control issues, and no more ruined races.👍🏻

I'm on ps4 pro with fanatec csl elite, but I can unplug my wheel and use the controller and still get the freezing. went to a friends house with a ps5 and he has the exact same problem. SO IT'S NOT FANATEC, IT'S NOT PS4, AND IT'S NOT ONLY ONLINE.
It's just typical BS from PD, they have never really had a polished game in all the GT games and the newer they are the worse the problems are. They also are in no hurry to fix things since people just keep buying them and then get online and bitch about how bad the game is. I confess, I keep buying them also, have had every game and every time I say that's enough, but when it comes out, I buy it. I realize it's just an arcade game, but that's one of it's draws, You can play online with friends who don't want to put in the time or expense to use a real sim.

Yes, I was about to say same thing, first time a PS5 user says they have the "freeze".
On the other side, I have given my stats (ps4 slim, controller, ethernet connection) and as of tonight it had been 10 days since ANY freeze/ skip, possible that PD has been fixing this quietly? I do not even get the PS4/ PS5 jitters in the multiplayer lobby with known PS5 friends...
