Was drastically speeding up photo rendering speed ever an undocumented change in one of these updates? Or is it just because I got a PS4 Pro?? I noticed yesterday it was at least twice as fast as it used to be.

It seems that Polyphony has started implementing raytracing rendering. A glimpse for GT in PS5.

Uh,Raytracing is very expensive and the PS4 doesn't support it,i doubt GT would introduce this new mindblowing tech on consoles in a game update,Sony would be singing to the heavens that their console supports raytracing.

Were you so attacked by my post that a “!” was such a difference over a “?” or “.” ?
Click to expand...

All I saw was an Exclamation mark in a response over a simple error. Not sure how else I was supposed to interpret that other then a slight overreaction.
 
You made a mistake. I just pointed it out. Nothing more. Should have used a “.” or “?” but did not realise that people got so scared about exclamation marks !

;)

I always thought it was more about the words but its the internet so you never really know how someone reads it. Keep learning every day. Again, sorry.
 
I think they changed something small in the discovery search menus: I'll explain.

Normally when you enter car manufacturer under the livery tab and switch to the scapes tab, your search settings are completely erased, now it keeps some of the data, so far i seen it keep the car country, manufacturer & model name setting from before. This is a small but niiice quality of life change because before if you switch tab, you lose all the information you set, now you only lose some, so only have to re-enter some information now. I'm happy

But if you enter and go back, the settings are reset.

If you can tell me how to higher up just the idle sound, which is what I was referring to, I'd be delighted.

You can higher the volume from the game's settings in the sound section.
Scroll down to the engine sound or something like that and move it all the way to the right to max it.
Or, go into a Lobby, pick 787B and when you are into the Lobby, select the spectate option.
You will see your car into the pits and the sound would be a lot higher.
 
I don’t think I’d driven the Citroen Gr. 3 car before this update. I did the St. Croix CE event and found the interior cam impossible to use due to overexposure (literally couldn’t see anything out the front, pretty much pure white glare). Has anyone else had this problem (in or outside of Croix CE), and is it new?

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:

If you press Test connection before entering the daily race you don’t get disconnected.

Might be more hardware related as the pictures seem to go the same speed for me on the regular one.

I noticed that as well. Makes things much easier.

I think that's more part of the "Connection Quality Test", which is already documented.
 
The upper panels inside of the 1962 250 GTO now match the exterior color no matter the color of the car
In 1.24, no matter the color, the door panels stayed red.
Now in 1.25, the color changes and matches depending on the exterior paint color.

It seems to be the case that everwhere the car passes close to the grass it moves (during replay).


Untill now I have only seen The Red Bull Ring doing this.
Have to see if other tracks also have this moving grass.

I watched for 2:19 just to actually see the car on track, can you narrow down where in the last almost 4 minutes of video the grass waves?

Sorry I was on my mobile and it does not give me the option to copy the link at a certain moment (just from the beginning to the end).
I will see if I can edit it when I get on the PC.
