Hi.
I've tried searching for this, but to no avail, as it's been a varying but constant issue since picking up gt7 around summer 22 ish (and I was and am surprised not to read about it reglarly on here, seeing how regularly I get issues... so maybe I am one of the few with these very odd issues), some releases seem to have been better in this regard, some worse, but with Spec 2, this definetely got worse...but let me explain:
When starting up GT7 (Disc version on PS5), it's a constant gamble if I will actually get into the game, or if I'm spending the next 1 to 30 minutes (!) restarting the game to finally get "into" the world map to be able to play.
If this happens, it can look 2 fold:
Is anyone else experiencing this (regularly ish) ?
Is there anything to make this less erratic, or ideally fix it completely ?
If not and if this affects others as well - are there any signs that PD is aware of this issue ?
I had a hunch it might be save game related... but then again, in comparison, I have hardly any data in there (i.e. others have 100s of Styles, Replays, etc, whereas I have dozens at most...)
Cluelessly yours,
c.

If this happens, it can look 2 fold:
- when starting from scratch (i.e. when GT7 was closed via the Switcher -> Close Game / after playing something else and ) - then it can end up loading a very long time and just showing a flashing "Saving..." text in the bottom right corner on a black screen (i.e. 2-5 mins usually, but up to 15 minutes ish [Just now I was typing most of this post while being in a 'saving...loop of death'), and in (maybe) 1 out of 10 times this will load indefinitely (i.e. I think I left it attempting to load for 20-30 mins until I shut it down to see how long it would hang...) and never would get anywhere...
- or, this could also happen from a suspended state (i.e. the game was running and PS5 was put into "Enter Rest Mode" with GT7 being active). This will look somehwat different, and usually ends up with a black world map that never loads or becomes functional, and the only UI interaction possible is the back Button, which then shows the (world Map) (Musical Rally) buttons, but jumping back to the world map, the screen remains black, minus some of the UI elements, none of which being functional/useful. Then, the only thing to do is to closed the game via the Switcher -> Close Game, which then starts the start up gamble described above.
