For every update released, there is the potential for changes not listed in the initial patch notes. Please report any undocumented changes you find in the current update and I'll update the OP as much as possible to reflect those changes found.


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.


THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD ABOUT THE OFFICIAL CHANGES Only any changes not listed on the official site are discussed here
THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD ABOUT THE PROS AND CONS OF THE UPDATE or anything else other than undocumented changes in the update. Keep those strictly to the appropriate threads:

A rather unusual update both content distribution and time wise (On a Monday of all things.)

Anyhow, post whatever changes you find not documented in the patch notes. Any discovery of Bugs or glitches, physics changes or Engine swaps specifically should be posted in the appropreate threads listed in the OP:

And as per usual, now you may post.

A new "Invalidate Time" setting appears to exist for penalties in time trials.

There seems to be a new animation when loading in the list of races for a track in World Circuits (both the "preview", and once you actually select a track). I don't like it, it's not smooth at all...

Build date in the buildtag is now encrypted hashed (this version's buildtag is Version 01.36.b791c036H; I am referring to the numbers after 01.36, which contains the build date). It also appears that some under-the-hood changes have been made to throw off dataminers.

EDIT: Disregard the under-the-hood changes part, see Nenkai's post.

I'm not at home right now, but are there any improvements to note in the PSVR2 departement? Would love to see my trackposition or how hard I press the brakepedal for starters.
 
While the maximum zoom-out for the weather radar is still 150km at least on the Nordschleife rain clouds now move much slower. Previously in a 3h race you had approx. 3min from the rain creeping into the radar to it appearing on track, now with the newest update it takes about ~10.5min.

Maximum was 100km, 150km is the new zoom level.

Was 150km always the max zoom level only on Nordschleife? 🤔

But if the clouds move slower that is very good news, both to try to predict when to pit, and so that the rain has a bit mlre impact when it hits.

Thought the maximum up to now was 100 miles/150 km. Did this maybe ad to the confusion?

The weather radar has always been in km if I'm not mistaken?

Not on the game yet, but is the new zoom level not more zoomed out? 🤔
 
Is it just me or is there a new livery for one of the Lexus Gr3 cars. Blue and chrome. Saw it running on the new high speed ring race. Don’t remember there being 3 liveries for that car.

This would be very good news as it makes weather changes practical on the Ring.
 
It would be interesting to see what is in the contracts for real world circuits as obviously a lot of the advertising boards are out of date really quickly. You’d think Polyphony would be able to sell those spaces to advertisers (though I expect there’s legislation to prevent this)
