It’s launch day for Gran Turismo Sport. North Americans get a day’s head start on the rest of the world, and they also get a chance to try out the 1.02 patch, which weighs in at a massive 12GB in size!
Patch notes aren’t yet available for the update, but PlayStation LifeStyle has confirmed that the following features come included:
- All car data is updated in order to support rain conditions
- Adds the opening movie
- Several tweaks to level design
- The reward sequence has been updated
- Several bugs have been corrected
Hopefully the official patch notes are released soon, as an update so massive must contain a lot of goodies.
As for what the patch could fix, here’s a list of known issues that the developers have been working on:
In Progress Issue
■ Game Save
– An issue wherein manually saving your data will occasionally result in failure due to a communication issue with the server;
– This can be mitigated by playing the game for approximately 15 minutes before attempting to save your progress.
■ Email Address Deletion
– An issue wherein repeatedly deleting your email address from [Options] > [Email Address] will cause the game to crash.
■ Drift Trial
– An issue wherein participating in a Drift Trial with a car featuring an exterior livery created with a custom colour chip would result in the game crashing after the result screen.
■ Steering Controller
– The H Pattern Shifter THRUSTMASTER® TH8A is not recognised when connected to the steering controller.
This issue will be fixed shortly, however please connect the peripheral directly via USB to the PlayStation®4 until this problem is resolved.
Fixed Issue
■ Steering Controller
– An issue wherein there’s excessive force feedback strength when using the Thrustmaster T500RS steering controller causing understeer (this will be addressed at a later date);
– An issue wherein the steering speed sensitivity when using a standard DUALSHOCK®4 is not high enough, making it hard to handle cars while oversteering and drifting (this will be addressed at a later date)
