Gran Turismo 7 Undocumented Changes Thread (Update 1.65)

[Mike Hamilton]

„Reverce“ button in F3500 (A and B have the same cockpit) fixed. Now it says „Reverse“.

 

[Adwinistrator]

This is by far my favorite post in this thread.

Messed up that this wasn't in the patch notes, though

 

[Reeneman]

Talking about the Pro and PSSR:
While there are still some tiny issues with flickering and aliasing, I think overall the game looks better with the 1.65 patch.
Motion blur for me looks also a little bit more intense.

 

[Theufcveteran]

Pasting this from another thread I posted it in:

I did notice that the vibration when you crash into another car on PS5 feels more detailed and direct almost, like it’s more of a buzz rumble than a classic DualShock rumble. I can’t remember exactly what it felt like before, but it feels like it’s different now. I like it.

I saw a post somewhere that in TT modes your delta times are now colour coded depending on whether you are up or down on your FL. Previously this was only when in bumper cam but appears to be the case for all camera modes now

It does look consistently sharper on the RT mode now, yeah.

A button that sends you direct to the weekly challenges races is in main map screen, upper left corner.

agreed I am on ps5 pro with a tv at 60hz no vrr and I am running resolution mode with PSSR off and it running a lot smoother also in the replay retracing looks even better,

Also online lobbies are also a lot more stable and I feel that the resolution does not drop anymore like you used to

 

[nathanh1108]

Anyone on PS4 noticed a difference in frame rates and smoothness? Some people have said there's a FPS decrease, I can't say for certain but it does look different somehow. If anything I'd say it looks smoother, but in an artificial way.

 

[hyperspeed980]

In addition to the lobby changes mentioned in the patch notes, there's a new pop-up whenever you change lobby settings that lists what you changed, and it also appears in the chat box!

As you can tell, it can get quite wordy...

FPS is the same. I think people are saying it is deceased because on Yas Marina with 16 or more cars the track lags into the lower 40s, but rest of game is the same.

And I too did notice the artificial look you call it. Edges look slighlty smoother like FXAA or something and lighting seems different in the garage. Somehow tiny bit darker, but maybe it is just my TV settings? Though I never changed them.

 

[omegasc]

Noticed that the audible note of the tires when traction is broken is more refined, and in my headphones I can hear the corner/side losing grip. Maybe was here all along, but noticed this immediately.

I noticed something was different but thought it was my mind playing tricks. I guess not!

A bunch of trees were changed and one was added in the main menu, most prominent around the Tuning Shop icon

Hey, it looks like there’s a big update on Bugs tire rubber sticking to cars when doing endurance racing on ps5 pro

 

[suomi1]

1 - The "Parameters" option in the UI (or however it is named after english) now only shows a gear icon :

Before, both were written (here in custom races mode). It's to make room for the Data Logger when it's available.

2 - I did the test because I was unsure about that, but I can confirm that the UI now tells if you are laps ahead or behind other cars :

Very useful during endurance races.

3 - The font which shows whether you are ahead or behind your best lap time has changed for Time Trials :

 

[CinnamonOD]

Also the scorebug / race standings was moved up a little bit, I recall it used to sit towards the middle before the update, and now it sits more towards the top of the screen

And when a position change occurs, the UI does a swapping animation, instead of just switching texts

 

[stpatty]

The ads on the grass at Daytona have changed as well.

 

[Mafio]

Am I tripping but are the graphics kinda “milky” now? Idk a better way yo describe it.

That's interesting. I did a Spa 1 hour run with the Ferrari, but I didn't get any dirt/rubber accumulation as usual.

 

[Cmon Tiga]

You can now choose the rendering quality (at least on ps4) in scapes. Wasn't there before, was it?

That's been a feature for at least 18 months, well, on PS5 it has.

It's still broken though...
It already shows you as 1 lap ahead if you're in the same sector as the other driver, but haven't passed them yet. So at that point it flip flops between showing time difference and a +1 lap difference whenever either of you passes the sector line.
Absolutely astonishing that something as basic as a time difference display has now been broken since the betas of GT Sport, almost 9 years ago.

If u go to 6:55h he show the car dirty and he is on ps5 pro , this is at lap 197 of 200 on line lobby

Wouldn’t say milky. I’m playing on ps5 pro. Not sure if there is really a difference. For me motion blur on the sides with fast cars is different and stronger than before.
Still PSSR issues with tiny lines and aliasing but I think overall it’s a bit better than before.
Need to try out the PSSR disabled setting and VR later today.
Hopefully the game will be updated with the new PSSR iteration that’s coming next year. High hopes for that.

Think that’s there for a long time if not even since release.

That's cool. Now all they need to do is have the car get dirty faster. Should be simple, but, like with so many other simple things, they will never do it.

Yes its motion blur but you can tell its not intentional. During the Audi TT menu book movie the wheels on the red TT blurred so much it looked damn near like a solid wheel.

Now that's interesting. So it's safe to assume when the 24 hour races in Power Pack are done we will see more photos of dirty cars? Now I want to see if I can get an actual dirty car by not washing it.

Probably more dirt on the gamer doing the 24hr race as I believe there is no mid race save function.

 

[gkgamer]

Hi. Anyone can confirm if the limit of 2000 cars in garage still applies? Thanks.

Yes it does.

 

[PettyWingman]

Yeah, all of Daiki's GT3 songs have now been added to the Showcase. Was one of the first things I checked upon launching the game.

What baffles me, though, is even after two years, they still haven't added his OST mixes (which sound way better than the ones in the game. Also two of them are exclusive) to the game yet... =/

Except for My Precious.
