Based on the original thread format by @Johnnypenso



For each update released, there lies the potential for changes undocumented 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.

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 disgusted 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:

Will be editing the first post with it now that that actual patch notes are out
 
Ghosting in dirty lobby races? This does a disservice to the community and having fun in general with realist cars.
Its step back for the fun we enjoyed we hope this is a glitch and the fix is prompt or I will probably not play GT Sport much :/

I agree, btw, good hosting.
 
When I was doing a couple time trials I noticed there is now an animation effect on the time leaderboard for a track; I saw it when going from the leaderboard menu to the main track page.
 
EDIT: I was wrong about this, see post 29 in this thread.


@RACECAR - Dynamic Scapes are now playing in the background on the main screen. Before the update they were only available in Brand Central & Home/View Car.

Weekly Daily Races.
Does that mean they will refresh every week?
Or we will have races once every week?
I hope it's the first option.
 
There’s a few new fictional logo’s :)

As well as the addition of real ones (mostly, FIA logos).

Daily races are now weekly races so I hear

That's actually separately covered in another announcement.

VBR

I feel they may have already been a thing, but they do seem new somehow.

I'm absolutely 100% sure that they were not there before. I'm a major GT graphics whore & have spent hours watching the menus & demos.
 
Previous version has its own 3D enviroment. Worth mentioning different cars on each scape.

Ah, I see, my bad. They just showed off the new cars after the update. I only bought the game a few weeks ago & this is the first time I've updated the game, so I've never seen any of what's in those videos above in my game.
 
Tyre marbles are now available in brands hatch and dragon trail sea side. Maybe in others tracks too that were not had.

Also, I don't know if it is by the new tyre model, but my G29 seems a lot better now. It seems like you drive a real car. More precise, more feedback.

The brakes seems better now.

Awesome update PD!

I saw marbles at the hairpin at Suzuka. Where they there before?
