Gran Turismo 7 Undocumented Changes Thread (Update 1.29/1.30)

[Shakengandulf]

Toned down as in darker and less prominent. Reflections are still a bit jerky, but do not lag nearly as much as before. I'd say refresh/redraw rate (not sure about the technical term) went up significantly, at least 3-4 times.

I have a video from before the update and will try an capture another one from 1.29 and post both to highlight the changes later today if I got the time.

Added this yesty.

"The visuel glitches on SPA 24hr have been fixed for when its raining and dark. No more glooming brake lights and the spotlights have been toned down, the blocky garbage as you go past is no where near as bad."

Sorry mate, didn't see this as I didn't check the Latest news thread yet since the update.
Either way, you put it much better than I did. Cheers!

I think this wasn't a thing earlier, I might be wrong. In the new extra cafe menu, if you don't have a specific car in your garage, you won't be able to collect the ticket, even if you had it before (and sold it). For example, I had the Carrera CS at some point, it is in my collector status, but it doesn't show on the new ticket, I must wait for it to appear in the used cars dealeship, buy it again, and then claim the ticket.

This irks me greatly.

Nah all good bud, i didnt post it here which i should have. Least it looks better. Was one of the first things i checked, love doing spa and i hated how it looked at night when it rains.🍻

I have just signed a contract with Porsche and ALL tyres are available with the car. Also Ballast and Power Restrictor. I thought in previous signings we had to buy these?

I'm wrong. I had the wrong car loaded - one I had bought and equipped before, and confused the liveries.

I am using the Mazda 787b for grinding, has the car always had that whistling sound (onboard and ground views)? I don't remember this sound being so pronounced before the update.

Turbo whistle, or gearbox whine? could be one of those.

Could be imagining things but they seem to have updated the UI in the Garage to now say "Turbo" instead of TB. Can someone verify this? May have been a general UI change too, since I can't seem to place what the heck they did other than TB -> Turbo.

Edit: D'oh, this already got documented. Disregard me, haha...

Turbo, like this:

I still have the freeze glitch after the update?

Anyone Else the same?

 

[Pedinhuh]

Since they made new animations for the column shifter on the Citroën DS21, did they also added them to the Plymouth Superbird?

Because the Superbird was the only car in the game without any gear shifting animations, since it has a column shifter.

are you running the ps4 version on ps5? They mention the ps4 problem on ps5 in the known issuse notes but dosnt mention it in the actuall patch notes. Only fixed a problem with fanatec without mention ps4 on ps5.

I run a ps4 version of gt7 on a ps4 with Csl elite base with latest firmware

Graphics seem a little improved, and less pop-ups

I’d say the graphics are worse. Draw distances seem to be shorter and I feel like I’m chasing an invisible enhanced image.

 

[SnakeEyes427]

Has anyone said the opening movie? It is different.

No. Not fixed.

It's the same for me, what's different about it?

 

[Hasnain282]

Haven't tested it for myself but have been told you can save Qualifying Replays now in lobby mode

 

[wowbaggerBR]

Turbo, like this:

Maybe I didn't pick the turbo, but must of that whining is the flywheel from the hybrid system spinning to crazy high RPM, right next to the driver, so that's why it is so loud.

Tried it just yesterday and didn't find it...

Le mans 30 min race on Ps4, visuals of the rain highly improved, before the wet track would reflect the light really badly almost like a glitch, it has been fixed, also interior lighting is much better.

I had thought I saw some of the new DLC cars in it. I don't remember the Porsche VGT being in it for one. If I'm wrong, sorry.

Now I need to try this then. It was distracting before.

 

[Koso_DOHC]

Level of detail zone got expanded, less popin, A bit brighter image. Inputlag for dualsense is slightly lower, a bit stronger haptik feedback 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Tire grip response via haptik feedback/rumble still missing

Graphics seem a little improved, and less pop-ups

nah,it is more or less the same as before imo

Good to hear , i would check it myself but too busy with other things atm

@Koso_DOHC

More or less? Ps4 or ps5? Its a slight improvement on ps5 and you have to look for it. It is better, it could be better but a couple more of these updates and all is good 😃

 

[i386]

Not sure if it came with this update: when you break very hard or the car spins/drifts unctrolled then a red box appears around the tire wear indicators. With a visibly red box around the tire you have limited to no grip at all

 

[Vule]

That's the tyres overheating, it was here from the beginning

 

[Scousesith]

Don't know if it's been mentioned, tyre debris grows with completed laps, only noticed it at the Grand Valley Highway 1 so far though

 

[i386]

I've never seen it before this update 🙃

on ps5. its hard to see if there was any enhancement (or maybe bug fix 🤔) in the visuals in this update.anyways,a before and after comparison screenshot or gameplay vid could factually answer our queries. 🙂
