They really only fix the minimum there is to fix, just so the game keeps running and especially the Sport Mode players are happy.
I wish you hadn't said that.Still took an age to install on PS4 mind you...
My driver rating got down graded b/c I had to re-boot the system twice yesterday. is there anyway to have it reinstated or get it back?This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:
Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.39 Fixes Sport Mode Loading Issue
A short-notice update for Gran Turismo 7 has been deployed, with a very singular focus on an issue that has been affecting some players in Sport Mode since the 1.38 update last month...
This seems a simple task when viewed from first-person. Once you open that to anyone/everyone else it gets complicated. Could they pull the data, analyze it and figure it out? Maybe. Are they going to? Likely not due to lack of dollars returned -vs- spent.My driver rating got down graded b/c I had to re-boot the system twice yesterday. is there anyway to have it reinstated or get it back?
They’re in the “watch over the growth of Gran Turismo 7 from a somewhat longer term point of view” pile.They fixed something important for some of the player base at least. Kaz, where are those endurance races up to 24 hours that you promised more than 18 months ago?

💩The game sucks anyway, it’s a huge disappointment and has been for months now
PD do sometimes leave in-progress stuff in their emergency bug fixes without realising it.I'm just curious about how a simple fix like this could be 400mb? Unless there's actual media content being added(which we know there isn't), it should literally be a small update that's a maximum of 60mb at most. This is really weird but thats PD I guess
That seems like terrible internal communication and lack of flow processes which doesn't surprise me I guess.PD do sometimes leave in-progress stuff in their emergency bug fixes without realising it.
For instance the 1.24 bugfix update had the weather radar upgrade in it which they 99% didn't mean to have in there, so they reverted it back in 1.25 and then officially released it in 1.26.
When they revamped the physics PD erased all the leaderboards and records from every race, time-trial, circuit experience and mission. You think the people who spent hours, if not days, on trying to move their position on the ranking boards to be higher weren't pissed about having all their hard work erased? At least reverting people's driver/safety ranking back to pre 1.38 would be fair to all players who not only lost ranking, but to those who gained ranking due to favorable conditions. The rank gains made by people who benefited from the shenanigans should be removed as they were ill-got gains.This is a no-win situation for them because it would likely be rolling EVERYONE back to a certain epoch before 💩 went sideways. Presumably that'd be right before the release of 1.38. You can only imagine the fall-out from a move like that. In the end, nobody is happy anyway, so why not just leave it be?
It wouldn't be fair to players who didn't face any sport mode issues and gained DR through completely fair circumstances though.At least reverting people's driver/safety ranking back to pre 1.38 would be fair to all players who not only lost ranking, but to those who gained ranking due to favorable conditions.

The circumstances weren’t fair for them as the majority of their competitors were actually blocked from racing. If you remove 80% of the competition you aren’t actually a better driver, you just moved up the ranks from what was left.It wouldn't be fair to players who didn't face any sport mode issues and gained DR through completely fair circumstances though.
