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:

Reminder: Any Physics changes or bugs belong in the appropriate threads mentioned in the OP, not here. The same goes for complaints of whatever negative effects have arrived with the update.

Now you may post.
 
I usually don't post in threads, but i would like to say that the dynamic exposure effect has been dialled back.
it looks more natural, atleast in HDR.
Also at Monza 8 AM setting the colours has been changed.

Please excuse my language, and probally vocabulary.
 
Issue where cockpit cam settings reset every time you start the game has been fixed. I assume it's the same for chase cam but would need someone to confirm as I don't use chase cam and have never adjusted it's settings.

There is no 9:45am setting at Red Bull Ring anymore. I don't know what has replaced it as I don't have a 'before' shot but here are the time of day settings available now:

I guess this comes under 'track optimizations' but they did put that quite vaguely as to what they actually did.

Most of them are now two hours earlier (except from dawn and daytime).

I've never had an issue with the cockpit cam, but the chase cam......

(Insert crab rave)



Edit: They didn't fix it reading from the comments

So, pardon me for the questions because I'm away from my PS4:

1) Did they fix the issue with be in game soundtrack not shuffling properly and always starting on the same song when you start the game up?

2) Did they fix the pre-race loading screen where it shows your car in a panoramic shot while it's loading?

3) I saw from a status post that you can apparently put Tire lettering on the super formula cars now. Is this correct?

1 and 3 are fixed, they were both in the official patch notes.

From a video on YouTube...
The timetable is completely different.

A little glitch had been fixed;
Go to Gran Turismo dealer, select any entry, go back to the entrance... then you could see the extremely stretched picture of GT1 JP package.
 

Not really an undocumented change though, is it? Sure its not in the initial patch notes, but it still comes directly from PD.
 
Ok so, I think they are starting to add motion blur type effects on the standard PS4 now. When driving a car in chase can, you’ll see the faint ghost of the car when driving at high speeds like in arcade games. But it only happens on some cars though. Maybe my TV is broken? I don’t know. The R8 Gordini, Fugu Z and TT 3.2 do it...
