Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

It is, but to reiterate the only known cause is changing time zones on your console (or logging into a console set to a different time zone).

We flagged the initial bug with Daily Workout mileage being affected by daylight savings:

Gran Turismo 7 Has a Daylight Savings "Daily Workout" Bug

If you've played Gran Turismo 7 today -- an hour later than usual -- you might find yourself on the receiving end of a curious bug in the game: completing Daily Workout mileage will not award a Roulette Ticket. It's actually directly connected to the clock change itself, which for most players wi

This was fixed, so that automatic changes didn't affect things, but manual ones still do. When the same thing happened with Weekly Challenges, it seemed familiar...

We spent ages on it, and I was chatting with someone relevant on the PD side about it, and were never able to recreate it except by changing time zones. That caused it 100% of the time - and while open to the fact that it may not be 100% of the cause we've never found another one. Yes, not even the "playing over midnight" one; I've personally tested this one three times without issue.

Everyone who's subsequently encountered it and asked on the forums about it has confirmed a time zone change. Some have logged into a friend's console, some bought a new console and had the zone wrong, some took their console to a different country on holiday or a break, some just manually changed it because they wanted to see the Weekly Challenges early, but all have had a time zone change.

If you say you haven't, I have little choice but to believe you but it would be a unique circumstance. Since they switched it from Wednesday evenings to Thursdays there's not been a single report of it not accompanied by some kind of timezone change.

Cheers for the reply and trying to help.

I only play on my consol, only play on GT7 and I only really log in and play the weekly challenges or when there's an update.

I've deffinatly not changed the time zones and the only things different I have done is purchase a ps5 at Xmas (I was on a ps4 since launch) but I have played 2 weekly challenges without a problem since I set it up and the only other thing different is I started last week's challenge late, which I don't normaly do and I remember thinking will I still get my reward if I run over the deadline which I did.

Hopefully it's just one of them things and it'll be back to normal Friday.

Thanks again for your advice.

This has been mentioned a couple of times before. The people are finishing the previous week's challenges when it becomes midnight and the new week's challenges begin. They receive the rewards for that week but not for the new week. This seems to be a reason for not getting the rewards. It will probably last another week.

Definitely not a cause:

I only had one time where the glitch got me and I mentioned it in this post:

Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

I got the first four races out of the way first thing in the morning... Sardena - Jumped into the RCZ when I saw that it was on the likely competitor list. I've driven the Gr.3 and Gr.4 versions quite a lot for Daily Races and Manufacturers Cup events, but I'd never tried the road car. Drove it...

No time zone change, no logging in anywhere else, nothing other than playing one night, getting the ticket, then playing the next night and not getting the ticket.

Looks like it affected my second account as well on the following week. Again, not sure why:

I used the F-1500 for the 950 pp event, it was an "easy" win. And got the R18 TDI in the ticket, sold for 1.3M, finally a bit of luck

Then it just corrected itself the next week:

Couldn't sleep last night, so I got up at 2:15am and had a bash at the new races. Used the Tesla Model 3 for the first two, the Jimny for the kei car race, Cayman GT4 for the Porsche race and the Lexus LF-LC VGT for the WTC800. Easily won. Then realised I STILL had the difficulty set to...

What can you do? Can't really explain what I did to have the ticket glitch happen on my console, but it was only for a couple weeks. That was a year ago and I honestly don't even think about it today. It's just fake money, or fake parts, or fake cars that you lose out on.
