Gran Turismo 7

[spike021]

I think I discovered a bug in the 3rd race of the final series. I can't remember the track name lol but it's the one where it starts raining about halfway into lap 2 and then tapers off right around when you are finishing up that lap.

Basically it has two really short S-curve corners before the lap checkpoint. I found that if I "accidentally" cut across the S'es too sharply, all of the cars in the group suddenly pitstop. I can keep going, but my traction suddenly goes to complete shit. Partly from the rain but also I think it just totally eff's up the driving mechanics. Then I notice that I'm suddenly in first even though three or four cars were ahead of me. But on the left side leaderboard it shows like +38 seconds for my position o_O.

It makes driving the first half or 2/3 of the final lap exceedingly difficult, and eventually the other cars pass.

It never happened when I raced it in my R33 GTR, but I tried a few times in my Porsche and could reproduce it almost every time.

I then decided to pit in one of the times and it let me change my tires.

I don't get why none of the AI did it previously when I ran the GTR, or why it's so weirdly sudden, and all the cars do it.

I can't imagine this is intended behavior.

Didn't use rain tires because seems like 1 out of 3 times it won't rain at all. So I assumed rain tires wouldn't be a good idea.

You guys know that's what the intermediate tires are for right? Wets are useless on dry and slicks are useless on wet...

Wets are for full blown rain. So the wet traction bar is at the top third. Intermediates is for the 2/3 bars. Slicks can still be used for the bottom third, just gotta go a little slower.

Talking about Spa? I haven't noticed any bugs there in that race.

I've noticed that some AI are more cautious and will pit in sooner than others. Maybe they're on slicks???

I should've saved the replay. I can try to save it later.

I swear once or twice when it's happened that the first few cars have already passed the pit entrance and then suddenly it happens under the circumstances I mentioned. Also the engine sound gets blippy/glitchy sounding.

They never pitted when I was racing the R33.

Yeah but if it's on and off rain, especially when it's heavy rain the track stays a bit wet for quite awhile. Anyway I was using the Intermediates and that's how I beat it. Just saying everything doesn't have to be black and white there are times when splitting the difference pays off.

Lol, thanks yes I know what intermediates are for. Just assumed they wouldn't be competitive. I will tackle again. FYI I already took 3rd place but I'm a perfectionist and won't move on until I get 1st, haha.

The PS4 Pro is so much faster and the graphics are sooo much better. Also, I just found out that you can do the circuit experience with any track and you get to drive some pretty sweet rides.

That's the strategy and gamble of racing. I like how they really incorporated it into GT7. You'll love the High Speed Ring 30 minute mission!

Speaking of agressive A.I. the Skylane went full self-aware, lmao. I already lost the clean race bonus in like the first turn because this Jaguar came to a stop almost in the first turn.. anyway when the Skylane mess with me I wasn't taking it and tried to push it in the grass... It went for BLOOD. I won but the rain stopped last lap too and I was on full wets.. Had to block the low line a little. The lambo would destroyed all 3 of us if there was one more lap. Did some minor off-roading on some wide turns too but STi can handle it AWD.

What's crazy is Sophy or what ever the name was, is waaaaaaaaaaaay more aggressive/harsh than that. Curious if they will dial it back when they release it. I kinda hope so cuz if the top GT players didn't stand a chance against it, I surely won't have the slightest hope. LOL

I'm pretty sure the mode is going to be like the 'impossible' mode where you have to drive dirty or cheat basically to win. Even if it's not 100% what the testing was I can barely handle hard mode so..

I'm already doing that stuff in hard mode lmao. I definitely sometimes tap AI's or squeeze through spaces and shove them out of the way. But they do that to me too. I've been spun out a bunch during the last few menus' races.

Yeah I try to get the clean race bonus... but once that goes out the window I go dirty.
