Official GT7 Known Issues (April 25):
World Circuits
- When using certain cars on Championship events, leaving in the middle of a round and restarting may cause a Performance Point (PP) limit violation to appear, preventing players to resume their championship. If this happens, lowering the PP value to under the limit before resuming the championship should solve this issue;
- In certain championships, such as ‘World Touring Cars 600’ from Menu Book No. 33, players may be unable to enter the championship without reducing their Performance Points (PP) from ‘Car Settings’ even if they are using the recommended car or one of the rival cars.
Multiplayer
- In the ‘Lobby’, there have been cases where ‘Preparing’ is displayed on screen but the Host cannot start the race. Having all room members leave and re-entering the room will allow the race to be started;
- In the ‘Lobby’, there have been cases where entering the track in Practice does not let you drive and skip directly to the Final Race. In this case, please try to leave and re-enter the room;
- In a ‘2P Split Screen’ race, the Assist Settings for Player 2 are locked. We plan to fix this in a future update. (Player 1 will use the same Assist Settings as defined in [Settings] > [Assist Settings]);
- In the ‘Lobby’, there have been cases where players in the same room do not appear on the member list or during the race. In this case, an application error will occur when the host starts the race;
- In the ‘Lobby’, there have been cases wherein completing a race would not let users progress further.
Car Settings
- There have been cases where the Performance Points (PP) do not calculate correctly if the maximum output of the engine is adjusted with a Power Restrictor, or if extreme settings or specific operations are performed on a Fully Customisable Transmission.
Livery Editor
- There have been cases wherein opening the Livery data from [Open Design] > [Design List] of the Livery Editor will make all the applied decals disappear. Deleting the saved data from the console storage without editing or saving the design may fix this issue.
Trophies
- Some Trophies will not unlock if you played the game on both PlayStation®5 console and PlayStation®4 system.
Other
- There have been cases wherein the App hangs during the loading screen at start-up, and rare cases wherein the App crashes when entering certain race events. Deleting and re-installing ‘Gran Turismo 7’ might fix those issues.
Note: This is an updating story! We’ll be adding more bugs and their fixes as they come in. If you are having trouble with a particular point, please let us know in the comments section down below!
Multiplayer
– In the ‘Lobby’, there have been cases where ‘Preparing’ is displayed on screen but the Host cannot start the race. Having all room members leave and re-entering the room will allow the race to be started.
– In the ‘Lobby’, there have been cases where entering the track in Practice does not let you drive and skip directly to the Final Race. In this case, please try to leave and re-enter the room.
– In a ‘2P Split Screen’ race, the Assist Settings for Player 2 are locked. We plan to fix this in a future update. (Player 1 will use the same Assist Settings as defined in [Settings] > [Assist Settings].)
Race Screen
– The overtake buttons on the following cars are displayed as ‘Nitrous’:
・Super Formula Dallara SF19 Super Formula / Honda
・Super Formula Dallara SF19 Super Formula / Toyota
Brand Central
– In some cases an ‘Invitation’ icon is displayed in the ‘Showroom’ of a manufacturer, even when a player did not receive any Invitation. Leaving ‘Brand Central’ and returning to the World Map will solve the issue.
Spectate
When spectating in the ‘Lobby’ or ‘Meeting Place,’ if a player switches the camera target to a car in the pits, then changes back to a car on track, the 3rd Person view becomes unavailable. Leaving the ‘Spectate’ mode once will solve the issue.
World Circuits
– In the ‘Rotational G’ display of the setting screen, speeds other than 120 km/h (75 mph) are displayed incorrectly. The proper speeds are as follows:
・80 km/h -> 60 km/h (50 mph -> 40 mph)
・160 km/h -> 240 km/h (99 mph -> 150 mph)
– In ‘Time Trial’ and ‘Drift Trial’ on Dirt tracks, it is possible to choose cars without dirt tyres installed from the [Settings] > [Change Car] of the Quick Menu.
– After entering a room in ‘Meeting Places’, if a player changes the Assist Settings from the Quick Menu and goes on track, the Assist Settings go back to the settings before the room entry. It is possible to avoid this issue by changing the settings from the Pause Menu after entering the track.
Display Settings
The changes to the exposure value in the ‘Exposure and Saturation’ settings made when starting the game for the first time are not reflected in the preview screen.
Other
When broadcasting the game from a PlayStation®4 system, an application error occurs.
That’s all the issues currently occurring in Gran Turismo 7. As mentioned earlier, we’ll be updating this post as soon as we get our hands on more reports!
