1. It is encouraged that you make an effort in verifying these changes as much as possible, either through videos or images.
2. If you need help from the community to verify something, don't be afraid to ask.
3. It is strongly advised that you be as specific and detailed as possible with the information including a brief description of the bug or improvement before it was fixed/changed (if applicable) and how. If English is not your first language that's ok, just do it to the best of your ability.

And now you may post.
 
You can now feel the rain pattering on the windshield of your car through the DualSense. This may have been in previous updates, but it feels stronger now. I did a race in the rain a few days ago with the same car and track settings, it seems a lot more prevalent now.

I was saying in the other thread that I felt the gear shifts on the 458 GT3 were more pronounced on the DualSense, so perhaps this is something they kicked up across the board.
 
GUYS! I am pleased to report that FINALLY! They fixed Porsche 918 Gearing/Hybrid system. I am not sure yet if drainded bettery changes performance, but finally after all these months this great car is just joy to drive. Thank you PD! I am so happy. Try it ! It's just amazing now.!!! (it is undocumented).

….
Lol I don’t know why but I haven’t noticed post above. It’s because of my excitement xD
Sorry.

I am getting a black smudge coming from the roll bar smearing across the windshied in low light conditions(sunset, sunrise) while in cockpit view. PS5, raytracing, 120hz. The 120hz setting makes it more pronounced.

Do you or can you share a screen shot of this?
 
I have to go to work but in the evening I can. I was driving RX8, online lobby, grand valley, sunset, cockpit view. It has a roll cage fitted. I have found this black smudging in many other situations in game since the update.

I'm seeing tons of frame drops in many tracks on the PS5, but it's especially noticeable on that new 3-lap event at Nurburgring Endurance.

Absolutely agree!

A change that I felt but may be placebo, road textures / bumps are much more defined on the Dual Sense. You could feel stuff before, but it seems they turned up the vibration a bit, something I quite like! (Also windshield rain like somebody else already mentioned).

Were the colour/texture/brand filters always present when applying a colour in the livery editor?
 
They finally fixed the toe angle adjustment sliders! Previously they would show the wrong amounts when adjusting (e.g. showing 0.18 when you are actually over 0.16 or 0.17).

Still no fix for the custom race start distance when Miles is used as the selected game measurement unit however.
 
I just asked this in the other thread, but have the sounds of some parts gotten louder to any of you? I first thought it was just the Porsche 959 when I first drove that and heard the turbo flutter, but now I'm grinding with my GT-R GT3 on La Sarthe and swear I hear a louder turbo flutter than before. The same with shifting sounds in cockpit view.
 
Did the new 3 lap race at the Nürburgring, and noticed the sparks seem better now and orange again.
They also seem more likely to appear with different vehicles.

I noticed that as well. Can feel the vibrations in the Dualsense in rain races like the Spa endurance or La Sarthe when the droplets of rain hit the vehicle.

I noticed something like this also but it felt more like the sound of the engine's been quietened in cockpit view so everything else sounds louder.

I'm not sure that's it, the engines sound about the same in volume to me.

On that note, I recorded some cars as a reference.
