Gran Turismo 7’s New Physics Are Not Entirely Going Well

[Meythia]

How did this get through testing?

I have seen worse.
Literally, just 1 day before. Fallout 76 basically has killed its world map, with 100% reproduction of the bug: start game and open map.
There is nothing screaming more of development team not having any internal test of the update.

I didn't know Michelin was an aviation company...

There is something up with the suspension and weight transfer. My engine swapped Jimmy was great before now you can't even drive it as it wobbles around all over the place. Lowering it to the max and stiffening everything up helps but it's still extremely hard to drive now.

However stock cars are great so far. Did the Eiger circuit experience and the Alfa was great fun

They kinda are..

Aircraft :: Michelin North America, Inc.

MICHELIN® Aircraft Tires supplies bias tires, radial tires, and tubes for aviation clients around the world.

Wondering this myself: the dev team behind the physics must have a pretty good understanding about extreme scenarios and while coding, you always try something like that to break stuff and learn about possible issues and bugs you wouldn't notice otherwise. It's a spectacular QA fail to have this coming out in such state.



Seems like the Eiger issue I linked before.

A QA fail? I guarantee these issues were noted and found. Devs pick and choose which bugs to fix.

Yep, seems to be something suspension related. I have a extreme bizarre Abarth setup for the Daytona grind. It now refuses to calculate the PP level of the car. The suspension setting just naturally pushes to the right, but other than that, I have seem crazier lol.

A QA fail? I guarantee these issues were noted and found. Devs pick and choose which bugs to fix.

If they were, why are they here? And as I said: I am sure the dev team knew about the extremes we are seeing. Maybe they didn't brought it to the attention to the QA team, assuming there is one, and in this case, again, this amounts to quality assurance failure: you released something broken to the public, making your work and the company meme fuel.

If everyone knew and the QA was briefed and still they decided this was ok to release, well, again, where I work this would be call a QA fail.

Spending some time browsing the forums while waiting for my upload to finish... getting a good laugh at the chaos.

Interesting, PD... interesting.

1.50 Patch notes:
- Fixed an issue in GT Auto where your car sometimes would roll over and spin into oblivion

 

[Niko-H]

I am almost in tears watching all this silliness. Do we bill PD directly for any damaged computer peripherals (e.g., keyboards, monitors, and such damaged from spitting out drinks) or any medical bills resulting from dangerously intense laughter?

Quoting this from the undocumented changes thread:

The Kombi also gets launched from the turntable

 

[UKMikey]

They can't be cirrus with this glitch.. I hope they fix it strato-way.

I'd hate to bring an alto your punning but it just might be getting out of contrail.

 

[Mafio]

And I thought I was going insane today
I was racing with a fully tuned (but not engine swapped) E36 M3 at the Tokyo 600pp race, and the car would always take a hard turn to the right or left more or less after crossing the starting line. Not as dramatic as the jumping cars but still bizzare.

Is your car slammed to the ground?

Please do an article on this joke of an update and more specifically the FFB.

Just booted the game up, had to put the ingame ffb to 10 from my previous 4 and some cars feel a little better, some cars feel a little worse but man... The Super Formula has zero weight what so ever until you reach 150km/h. And I mean zero weight.
I played this game yesterday and everything (well, not quite) felt good. What a damn joke this is..

It passed a bouncing check.

[EDIT] 17,000th post... and it's a lame pun lol

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.49 Now Available: Eiger Nordwand Returns, New Physics, & More

After almost a three-week wait from its original reveal, the Gran Turismo 7 1.49 update is now available. It brings the first new circuit to the game in quite some time, along with some wider changes to the game's underlying physics. It's a pretty big update file coming in at some 4.87GB on PlayS

www.gtplanet.net

I genuinely had to clean my screen after the Eiger one with all the different engine-swapped cars.

Beep... beep... beep... BOING «everything goes into orbit»

And then, six seconds later, suddenly landing Abarth.

the ending is almost suspicious, like "this was edited together", almost too good to be true lol.

 

[Mafio]

I know some of you younger folks are probably tired of games being broken are are triggered by things like, but I've been playing GT for 25 years and I can live with one ACTUALLY, REAL and HILARIOUS mis-step. I think PD has earned a bit of grace.

All setups invalid now?

I was looking for more of a rant on it being a complete joke but fair play

I'm just so damn disappointed, the FFB feels like 1.15 all over again..

This one is pretty amusing: you crash before you get to control your car in Eiger.

And I thought I was going insane today

I had this happen about a year ago when I went to some races at Red Bull Ring in an 02 Mazda RX-7 with the 26B engine. The race would be about to start and the car said, ok, hard left!! right into the wall. It was consistent. I think there may be videos of it.
Maybe with flying cars I can finally win at Maggiore!

Wait, what did I just see?? This pain medication is a tad stronger than codeine...

They must have an absent-minded professor or two on the payroll.

 

[Bilu]

Is it really new physics or just a cheap marketing term for tweaks and improvements to current physics?

Sponsored by the new Twisters movie.

[GranTorino91]

Good job PD! 🤦

 

[dacc10]

This one is pretty amusing: you crash before you get to control your car in Eiger.

Clearly a skill issue on your part bruh.

 

[Nielsen]

Maybe PD is too ashamed to admit that something went wrong here, so instead they will frame the narrative and say this is exactly what they intended the new physics to be.

Then a few years from now GT8 will launch as “The Real Bouncing Simulator”.

Just opened GTP to report this issue. Tried to drive my new swapped M3 around and it kept inputting steering left and right by itself. It crashed on the race start countdown a few times before I could even get the race started
