Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.07 Now Available: Tire and Progression Bugs Addressed

Server still down. Sad I couldn’t race before going to work.

Same here. And I'm posting this at my workplace. Once I get back, I'm visiting the Forbidden West.

Feel for you guys having to go to work not having played before hand 😩 least it’s down while your away.. hopefully it’s back on for when your finishing! 👍🏼

 

[MrNukki]

Get in touch with psn and fight your case.. bet they would have to

I mean, I am actually having fun with the game, I wouldn't want to refund it. I don't see myself ever supporting Polyphony again though.

Sell cars?! This is supposed to be a realistic game. Just like in real life if you want a car out of your garage you have to push it off a pier into the ocean. No selling, trading, or gifting allowed!

Imagine not allowing players to sell cars, while having a Used Car garage that you can buy cars from...

This whole “game is always online” approach caught up with them real quick eh?

My GT7 experience got off to a bad start by being forced to do the music rally and watch the intro. Cafe was a fun idea at first but got boring really quick. The new payout adjustment isn't helping win me back.

Incase you guys are not fully up to speed. Patch 1.07 is cancelled. The servers will be back after 1.08 is ready, whenever that will be.

A lot of accounts got corrupted during patch 1.06 including mine making the game impossible to continue without a complete game crash and no further way to play the game on that psn account ever again. I believe 1.07 didn't address the server side corruption and was cancelled. This may take days to get 1.08 ready.

Don't forgot to give it to them on social media until the micro transactions are removed from the game. We will readily above that as a unit. Keep AAA gaming real and don't pay for a game twice.

 

[Jayson619]

Snapped this before it went down again suddenly. Seriously what were they thinking...

 

[GlamFM]

So what are we thinking here? Did they actually find a bug or did they find loud backlash for their predatory monetization scheme and are adjusting the rewards again as I type this?

Yeah I agree, it’s a tough one.. I remember seeing the trailers for gt7 and being really hyped for it.. actually made me TRY to get the ps5 and then I actually did.. then the wait for gt7 felt like a life time.. and I’ve not had a gt game for a hell of a long time and this is just a huge let down.. still fun and love the graphics just no where near as good as it could be 😞

Lots of people getting refunds from Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy and Smyths Toys over on Reddit.

So from that a race that involves proper race cars with 2 more laps only pays 10,000CR more than a 3 lap race on the same circuit using regular tuned cars. There is just not a single shred of logic to it.

I stopped grinding the other night because I was getting so sick of trying to build up 12 million in credits for the rare car.. I will NEVER buy a MTX for Gran Tursimo but I went to the PS Store just to see what the price was. 20 dollars for 2 million credits. Does PD really think I'd spend $120 real dollars to unlock a single car in their videogame??? My gosh the fun of grinding for cars has been absolutely RUINED in this game. This is so beyond disappointing. I can't respect PD and Sony after this fiasco of lowering the payouts even more to try to get me to spend money. It's not happening. In fact it's making me not want to play your stupid game anymore. I love Gran Tursimo and this just hurts...

 

[NiceBumpers]

Ironically PolyPhony will not be getting a “clean win” bonus due to this crash.

 

[Rod Baron]

what a shame that there is no way to play local without the servers.

They tweeted that a fault was found in 1.07 during the downtime. Before it went live.

That’s a really broad assumption you made though

 

[nicefrog]

We all knew that was a terrible idea. In a way this was the greatest thing that could ever happen to highlight why no game should ever do that. And also that the ps5 needs USB backup for game saves.

Yeah but wheres all the extra info come from that you posted?

 

[Confus]

No, because some fool at Sony has made the decision to make an always-online game.

I am expecting a clear statement from Sony/PD, that this person will be fired until tomorrow.

This person will likely receive a promotion and/or bonus, sadly.

 

[nicefrog]

Not at all. You cant fix a patch once it's installed without another patch. 1.07 can not go live.

 

[ExoticMachines]

They need to make 1st place winner to about $2 million or $3 million.

All the payouts for 1st place in GT7 were just stingy as hell. By reducing the payouts even lower is pretty ****ing hardcore.

Yeah, they shouldnt mess with the community.

An official excuse also seems like a joke to me, because they made the decision bring in MTX and nerf credits. They did it on purpose !

Like they would give a **** and change the entire system now. Everyone knows what problems this can bring us. I personally don't have a problem with such issues... I can live a day without a videogame, but problem is patch 1.07 won't change anything besides some bugs that they brought in with 1.06...so....wheather servers are on or not, I don't see content 😂

No they did not, please stop making ridiculous assumptions like this when higher ups at Sony are most likely asking them to do this

Kazunori is a "higher up" at Sony.

?

Of course it was a deliberate decision to bring MTX in the game and to nerf the credits with 1.07.

Sony is boss and tells PD what to do and how to earn money - not the other way around.

Seems like Karma that this patch now failed.

 

[tehPete]

Honestly, at this point I'm about ready to seek help from the Emulation community. GT5 had the best online community as far as I'm aware, and the RPCS3 guys have made tremendous strides in reverse-engineering their own online service implementation for a few games in the last year - maybe they could spend some time resurrecting GT5.

 

[foxdylan]

Hi can anyone help remove the knife from my back that polyphonic just stabbed in there

Cheers
