Server maintenence 4/4/2024 EDIT - Update 1.45 now available, fixes BoP settings for the Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car

[Eggstor]

The notice that a server maintenance is coming in a few hours (2 am EDT/06:00 GMT) was just posted. The US text:

Gran Turismo 7's servers will undergo maintenance during the following period:

[Day & Time]
Start: 04/04/2024 02:00 EDT
End: 04/04/2024 04:00 EDT

(Please note the above times are subject to change.)

During this period only "Arcade Race" within "World Circuits" will be available to play, but various online features including "Sport" mode will not be accessible.

Also, game progress cannot be saved while the servers are offline. To save the current status of the game, the console must be reconnected online after the end of the server maintenance.

Thank you for your patience.

Other than the likely BoP fix for the Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car, I don't see anything else happening.

EDIT - The BoP for the Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car was the only thing that changed for Update 1.45.

Low-speed - 698.70 PP / 501 HP / 453.7 ft-lb / 2978 lbs
Mid-speed - 698.70 PP / 501 HP / 453.7 ft-lb / 2978 lbs
High-speed - 698.70 PP / 501 HP / 453.7 ft-lb / 2978 lbs

Looks like a simple reversion to the 1.43 BoP for the Ford.

Likely just tweaks and hotfixes.

But they are glacial most of the time. Wonder what got their knickers bunched.

Probably has to do with that overpowered Ford GT BOP

Here we go again. You download a 200 MB patch and then the PS4 goes straight into an hour long coma trying to process what just happened.

This shouldn't be even 200 MB, but it will choke the PS4 out for a hour.

It is faster to delete and re download the game then patching and waiting for copying process. Same on ps5.

LoL no for most of us anyway - only way that would be if you got really fast internet

v1.45 update size: 355.6 MB (PS5) - only BoP fix for the Ford car

GTWS deadlines. They announced the first race is on the 17th, but they couldn't open it in-game for registrations while the Gr.3 BoP is broken (as people would pick Ford for Manufacturers thinking the Test Car is OP, then complain when it got nerfed and they were still locked in).

Thursday night, 19:30, turn on the PS4 for some needed GT action... nah mate, not tonight!

The full patch notes:

The following is a list of adjustments introduced for the new Gran Turismo 7 update.

Improvements and Adjustments​

1. Balance of Performance (BoP)
　- We addressed an issue in which the "BoP" power settings for the Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car were off, resulting in the car producing more power than intended.


Thank you for your loyal support, and we hope you continue to enjoy Gran Turismo 7!

I have PS4, but it just takes 15 minutes or so.

Yaya.

Now if they would only support their new official wheel…..!

Kinda embarrassing!

What gives? I find that hard to believe.

 

[Boxster]

What gives? I find that hard to believe.

I haven't clocked it this morning, but it was certainly less than half an hour.

 

[Steer]

Bloatware. One Tiny change to BOP for one car only - PS4 sits and chugs through the download and update for 45 mins.

Thanks. For. That.

Yes but hidden tweaks to give us more unwanted invites...

Mine took around 50 minutes.

Turned my PS4 Pro on at exactly 6pm just there. The update downloaded in about 30 seconds & the copying started at 2%. Finished & installed at 6.11pm. I've got a Samsung SSD installed. Very confident, if I still had the old HDD installed, I wouldn't be posting this so soon.

 

[jonoholland29]

I’ll time the PS5 later but it’s usually less than 3-5 mins for me?

 

[Kriptical]

About 45 seconds to download and instal on a ps5.
