GT7 Daily Race Discussion

I wonder if they’re doing a massive GTS-related data transfer on their end, right before they kill the servers - causing a bottleneck on their side

 

[Hodd10]

Its a complete shambles from PD. How in this day and age can they not even commmunicate they are aware of the problem is shocking. Total comtempt for their player base

Anyone know what the time slots are for manufacturers round 1 for 'A' drivers?

Unless anything has changed in the EMEA region they are early evening in a window of 5pm to 10pm usually.

The lower ones seem not changed from all day.

 

[Mercia]

Looking forward to the new F1 game coming out in a week or so.

Need a break and to be let down and disrespected in a different way, with communication.

I'm asking cause I finish work at 8pm

EMEA, Race C. “Unexpected error” crash from race.
PD are a shambles. They must be the laughing stock of the esports community.
It’s time the community voted with its feet and boycott this rubbish until they fix ALL the issues with Sport mode.

Exactly what I and numerous others have had. Seems to kick in around the second lap. No warning at all

It's fair bad when my wife noticed I'm annoyed 🤣🤣🤣 PD need to sort it and sort it quickly

I've done a couple of race B today, having a lot of fun on the short course. Trying really hard to get a 44s qualifying, best I've gotten so far is around 45.06 or so, so close. Starting to get T1 down without losing too much time but still struggling on the chicane.

General sports mode question - if you end up crashing to a halt, do you always ghost? My last race I put too much power on too quickly on the T1 exit, and ended up spinning into the barrier head on. As I was into the wall, I had no option other than to reverse onto the track, but I was just staring out my left window trying to find out when it's safe to pull out into the track, needless to say it was the back of the pack. If I get into a situation like that, will I always be a ghost? Just don't wanna reverse into the field and screw up the other drivers.

Eh, all this lag stuff is nothing new to us GT Sport racers.
Here's a clip from over 4 years ago. It's from a daily race, and is probably the most awesome lag I've seen. 😆

 

[Talon16]

Rory can't get through a Daily C without crashing. And it like kills the whole game to where he has had to reboot his PS5.

This is a Rory problem, not GT. He's having problems connecting as a whole, not just with server instability.

Actual daily servers seem fixed today from what I've seen.

 

[Childe Roland]

Well, first race of the week last night (race C).

Lap 1 before bus stop all connections gone to 1 red bar.
Suddenly all the cars started wallriding with sparkles everywere (was a funny thing to watch I must admit) and magically went from P6 to P1.
Disconection, error message and rage.

Im not returning to GT7 until this is fixed.

 

[Raven-Sport]

Done two Manufacturers races this afternoon as I'm off work, my lobbies (UK) have been fine. Compared to the last two days where every daily booted me out, it seems okay on my end...might be random luck though.

My skill issues cannot be improved even without lag though...

Here’s hoping they’ll stay that way
That’s why I think it’s a PSN issue, because if it was on PD’s end then the servers would probably still be borked (Going by prior precedence cough1.07cough)

 

[RacingGrandpa]

I don't know, haven't had time to race all week, but AFAIK daily races are P2P while GTWS are dedicated server, so not really the same thing
@Famine will know

Except the experience and behaviour of the lag is very consistent between dailies, world series and gazoo. It would be interesting (and strange) if it were different architecture for these.

I agree, in the finals where they use a different UI and cameras that seems like dedicated servers but the rest im not even sure how that would work making dedicated servers for these races outside of lobbies and dailies. I also wonder what difference it makes when it's dependent either way on your own connection?

I've just released GranTracker, which is a free Windows and Mac application for keeping track of your DR and SR.

Wow - well done, sir!

Any news on server status? Don't want a bunch of red cells on that software to show up Also, what are this week's races?

Having an absolute BLAST in Daytona. Just finished 2nd after starting 14th because I crashed on my quali lap.

Nice gap across the finish line:

 

[Tazzy-91]

I had an hour free very early this morning so I said I would try a couple of race C's. 8am gmt, got as far as the warm up and that was it, just froze. Tried at 8:30 and got as far as the track picture before the start and again froze, I actually waited 5 minutes because sometimes it will kick in. No such luck so I am not sure it's fixed properly. Am going to give it another go shortly and see. It is 100% not an issue on my end

 

[Nakano219]

I think Daytona Road is a track that really suits the daily race format. You get almost guaranteed close racing and close finishes, and the big slipstream means there's overtaking, but the races are short enough that it doesn't feel like a slipstream lottery. Good fun.

Yeah 100%. GR4 also helps.

There was a GR4 daily race at Le Mans (no chicane) not to long ago that was also awesome for the same reasons.

I need the sprint races for life reasons so haven't don't a lot of Daytona. I just wish there was a strategy for tires or fuel beyond the mediocre saving stuff

 

[sturk0167]

@nukewells_OG I'm sorry for bumping you in the braking zones at Daytona yesterday.
I was just lousy all day.
Hopefully, I didn't mess your race up too much.
If I see you out there again, I will try very hard to stay away.

 

[VR-SORN]

I did a daily race B today, it had some lag, enough to distract me to hit the barrier. I only did the one race though so dont know if I was unlucky.
At race start only 1 driver had a red bar. And that was not the driver that lagged near me.

I've done that many, many times. I spend so much time looking at the car jumping all over the place that I forget to drive.

Then I swing the other way (ahem) - I assume everyone's not really there, and I end up smashing people!

I did the same method during the worst of the lag in the manufacturers race, I actually got into a zone where I ignored all the teleporting cars around me frozen in time or rocketing away in spins all over the track, then suddenly appear just millimeters in front of or behind me still racing.
I only completely smashed into a car once. Because it was actually there. It's funny when you are surprised you hit a car you are deliberately driving into. But that was the game GT7 gave us recently.

That is exactly 100% my experience also.
