2. Music Replay
 - Added 64 music tracks.

Other Improvements and Adjustments​

1. Progression blocks and application errors
 - Fixed a very rare issue wherein progress made on a Menu Book would not be recognised and prevented players to continue their playthrough;
 - Fixed an issue wherein an application error would occur when using the broadcast features of the PlayStation®4 system;
 - Fixed an issue wherein an application error would occur when 'Shoot' is selected in 'Race Photo' during a replay displayed in 4K on the PlayStation®4 Pro system and with the aspect ratio set to 16:9;
 - Fixed an issue wherein an application error would occur when 'License Plate' is selected in 'GT Auto' under [Car Customisation] > [Other], while progressing Menu Book No. 20, 'Show Your Custom Wing.'

2. World Circuits
 - Fixed an issue wherein the actual time of day in a 'Custom Race' of some tracks would not match the selection made in [Time / Weather Settings] > [Timeframe];
 - Fixed an issue with the Sector 2's Bronze target time in the 'Circuit Experience' of the 'Willow Springs Raceway: Streets of Willow Springs' track that made the Bronze prize unachievable;
 - Fixed an issue wherein it was possible to choose cars without dirt tyres installed from the [Settings] > [Change Car] of the Quick Menu during a 'Time Trial' and 'Drift Trial' on Dirt tracks;
 - Fixed an issue with the weather for all race events;
 - The Overtake function for the Dallara SF19 Super Formula / Honda '19 has been disabled in the Licence test 'S-7' (One Lap Time Attack) within the 'Licence' pavilion. (The ranking boards have been reset.)

3. GT Auto
 - Fixed an issue wherein the racing suit would not be displayed in 'Driving Gear' under certain conditions;
 - Deleted the 'Duplicate on Opposite Side' and 'Duplicate Symmetrically' menu items from the 'Layer Controls' of the left and right arms while editing Racing Suit Livery;
 - Fixed an issue wherein work results would not be applied in 'Car Maintenance & Service' if the work is selected by moving the cursor with the Left stick.

4. Car Settings
 - Fixed an issue wherein the Setting Sheet would become blank, and the setting content could not be saved. With this fix, the blank setting sheets will remain but you will be able to delete these normally. This will also fix the progression blockers encountered when the Menu Book tasks involved Car Settings;
 - Fixed an issue wherein a car would return to its original wheels if the Setting Sheet was modified while a non-standard wheel was equipped;
 - Fixed an issue wherein the 'Top Speed (Automatically Adjusted)' would not adjust properly when a Fully Customisable transmission was installed;
 - Fixed an issue wherein the speeds displayed under Rotational G's were incorrect;

 - Fixed an issue within 'Showcase' wherein the 2nd page and beyond would not be displayed properly if the number of items in 'My Items' and 'Collection' exceeded 100;
 - Fixed an issue within 'Gallery' wherein the 2nd page and beyond would not be displayed properly if the number of items in 'My Page' exceeded 100 items.

6. Brand Central

 - Fixed an issue wherein the 'Assist Settings' would reset after joining a location and quitting without entering a race;
 - Fixed an issue wherein the weather and time set by the host would not reflect correctly for the other players in the room.

9. Options
 - Changed the 'Flash and Toggle High/Low Beams' function assigned to the default button of the DUALSHOCK®4 and DualSense™ wireless controllers to 'Flash High Beams'. If the button had been remapped previously, selecting the 'Restore Default Settings' will apply the change;

10. Steering Controller
 - Fixed an issue wherein the Thrustmaster TH8A shifter would not operate properly when connected to the USB. Please note that the PlayStation®5 console is not compatible with this USB connection. The shifter can be used by connecting it directly to the steering wheel base using a 'DIN-to-DIN' cable.

Well folks, new game and new thread. You know the drill: Read the official patch notes and make sure what you find is not already listed in there. As I don't have the game yet, I cannot confirm anything so I'm gonna need as much proof as possible for these changes (Pictures or videos). Also remember where to have your discussions about various things as mentioned in the first post.

Post away.

I have reports the smoke has been downgraded but the person on reddit did not say what version they were on. I Just spent a good hour on offline mode checking out the particle effects on the PS4 base version so I can confirm or deny it once the update copys.. Two mins to download.. 15 mins to copy..

Smoke seems unchanged on PS5 went to the BRZ drift mission challenge to test and it still looks as thick as before and lots of it still

Edit: seems gameplay smoke might be bugged because sometimes it fine and sometimes it’s not

Smoke seems to trigger much later now , You have to heat the tires up but it is still as thick as it was, Just tested it with the mini cooper I was hooning with offline. Shame they have not patched the broken grass texture on deep forest.
 
Landing physics in rally stages have been fixed, cars no longer bounce off the ground unrealistically. Confirmed after several consecutive laps/jumps around Fisherman's Ranch in the 86 Gr.B car.
Oh wow - I just did the track experience thingy there yesterday and it was so frustrating 😂 Should have waited just one day...
 
Welp , They some how broke sparks . They don't show up in third person unless you look behind you and spazz out in replays .
Dang It PD.
Edit : You can see the old sparks in replay mode in third person as proof .

It's less realistic though. Wish they kept it in the replays at least...
Odd , You can see blinding smoke and sparks in replays but not in game any more. Seems like a global design choice but is looks worse . I bet they did it to improve visability in rain which was too much In my opinion.

The Clubman Cup + on tokyo is litteraly now a chase the rabbit . Before the Two front cars were fast and the third car was a bit slower , now I finished 11 seconds ahead of third and a second behind first. If they touched the high speed ring one I will stop playing . Why do you insist on this Kaz and PD? I had fun doing those events . We ALL love the chili pepper events , but Noooo PD knows best.
Edit: The other clubman races seem untouched. I think it is a mistake.

How many races have a standing start in career mode (before update) ?
 
Well I did a youtube search and it has always been a rolling start.. I swear it was a standing start.. I did that race a few dozen times. I must be going crazy.
Also Watching the videos made me realize that tokyo expressway had no drain grates , it now does. I remember some guy saying they were removed in GT sport when the track got rain.Seems they are back. You can even see there are none in the time trial pictures , they are back now

"Fixed an issue with the weather for all race events"

Hopefully it no longer rains in every. Single. Event. And the cars are actually drivable in the rain. I haven't tested this yet.
 
I'm noticing some performance improvements in certain areas on the PS4 Slim (base console). Loading times are roughly the same, but some of the menu and reward screen transitions seem to be slicker than they were on launch.
