About to try it out. I did a few runs and I'm not seeing a difference.

How do you even know that, as a user?
The PS4 just starts downloading the update without showing you patch notes or file sizes.
If you go to "Downloads" it shows you that 6.5 GB file.
What drifting changes? They said those changes are coming in a future update. Not this one.

Scoring feels the same. Haven't had much time to play with it yet, though. The new track seems like a good track for racking up drift points.
EDIT: Yeah, viveks86 is correct, coming in a later update.
It was posted on their facebook.
Couldn't remember if it was this weeks or next but based on that response its neither/future.
Cool beans. I thought it was this update too and I was about to say, no fucking difference lol.
I fucking hate how the 599 Evo is locked to multiplayer only.

Aside from the game director saying so earlier in this thread, i went to downloads when the download started and the progress bar was almost full right from the start (it was at approximately 5.7GB).
Also, it downloaded in a few minutes and with my internet connection it would take hours for 6.5GB.
Engine and exhaust volume levels are still way too low even after the 'level 11' sound upgrade for most of the cars in all camera views, we've been asking for separate channels volume option for a while to no avail.

Confirmed.
Man, now that that's corrected, I can actually race the Sakura pack and appreciate the Japanese tracks. Incredible - Evo's best work yet.
did a single-lap race on the new track with the Venom against a full field on Legend difficulty
tried to race as clean as possible from the cockpit and place 1st, but it's rough to do in one lap with the way the AI drives the track

Gamma issues have been fixed but now a new problem arises.
@Rushy Thanks for fixing the gamma issues for cockpit modes on the Japan tracks but a new issue has arisen in the new update with the cockpit mode again unfortunately.
As you can plainly see in my examples below, the exposure/contrast/saturation inside cockpit view in the new 1.11 patch is completely off. Now looks a lot more dull and flat, particularly in sunny conditions and needs to be brightened up again like it was before. I noticed this problem as soon as I fired up the game this evening.
Both examples below are in Putre, Chile at 12pm
Before:
After: (New Patch 1.11)

Could you please look into this Rushy?
Apologies if I come across as nitpicky. It's just that these things severely hamper my enthusiasm for the game because it generally looks so bloody amazing and plays great.
Many thanks

Is this real? It looks much worse now.

Holy shit, so this is why I thought the game looked a little more washed out than usual in the day time when I played it earlier today? I had to use the 'saturated' filter when taking photos because they looked so dull without it.
Damn it. One problem gets fixed and another arises.

It is much worse now...as you can see. Hence the reason why I noticed it immediately when I first played the new Japan track, then some of the Chile tracks.

Is this cockpit only or all views?
Is this issue specific to the McLaren P1 or have you seen this with other cars as well?

Seriously? I don't understand how this shit keeps happening every patch.

Hi Rushy,
No this issue is not specific to the McLaren P1. I've tried many different cars...all with the same result.
Thanks we'll be looking into this tomorrow as a priority.
I almost prefer it to look like that (I'm a big fan of muted colours, I loved PGR4 for example) but I'm only going by your screens, I haven't been able to play it with the new patch.
Where did the rest of ur post go? Change of heart?
NB posting from tiny phone.
Anyway, I'm about 25% through launch release single player and I've seen the AI mess up. They've spun out and traded paint. What I haven't seen them do is overcook it heading to a corner and fly off the track.
As for the handling model, that's always gonna be down to the user but I found that taking a fairly real world approach to be best ie
no braking halfway through a corner,
no simultaneous heavy braking and turning,
feed gas and brake into some corners,
Sometimes a light lift of is better than braking and or added steering input
do not floor it on corner exit unless traction is assured,
when using the analog stick dont just consider it as full left or full right, think about finessing the steering angles as to not make rapid direction changes that can cause loss of control.
Brake later when going up hill and earlier down hill
The engine (front, mid, rear) and drive layout (fwd, rwd, 4wd) also affect how a car handles. You can Google images to try and find generalised differences in corner approach/attack for the various layouts
If we want to talk about poor handling let's talk NFS shift and shift unleashed.
It took myaelf and others way too much time tuning cars to get them handling remotely well.
Isn't this when you turn crowd off??
Also, HDR is a problem in this game from the start. Its is much exagerrated from real life. Goes for "in your face" graphic styles but not for real racing. Been racing myself and I never been blinded that much in my whole life by exiting some tunnel, entering one, or again just hitting some shadows or drive at night. Or was it the gamma problem? Brightness or contrast adjustments? I hope it will be fixed. Patch seems to touch those things. I don't have it in america yet though.,
Oh well.

I'm not convinced there was a gamma problem in the prior update. Dark detail always looked crushed in the cockpit before that to me.

There was definitely a gamma issue with the Japanese tracks before this update.

Yea for some reason I thought the Japan tracks came out when the cars did with the tour out the following week. All good though the reduced star requirements opened stuff up for me!
Nice!

Finally got around to trying Japan, I still have a bunch of events in front of Japans but I broke my own rule of getting every star in order cause I was that hyped...and it delivered.
Can't believe how amazing Japan looks in this game. The second race in the championship in the second event blew my friggin mind. It goes from beautiful looking to downright scary mid race with the rain. I swear this is the absolute best looking game I've ever seen.
I love taking a couple weeks break from DC and then being amazed all over again by the visuals.
I don't want to sell the gameplay short either, its the funnest SP racer I have played since GT2 or Motorstorm.
While the MP isn't my cup, they keep adding to the SP so I am more than happy. I need to get my gear head buddy to play this game, he will flip.

Haha, my nephew always does that and i keep telling him that someday it'll blow up in his face.
It does look less colorful than the other Japanese tracks since it's basically farmlands, but imo it looks great for what it is, and it looks downright gorgeous at night, with all the lights lit up around the rice paddies. And of course it's also very fun to drive on.

Because they patch in a shit load of good changes, some things obviously have an undesired effect. The good news is that Evo tend to listen to people, it was GAF I believe that found the gamma issue in the first place and Evo responded. Now it's been pointed out again they are doing the same again. Sorry, but what more can you ask for from a development team?
I know some teams that I'm pretty certain are bigger than Evo that have left in game breaking bugs for the lifetime of the game. (BF4 - Single player save game corruption)
Great news, game is getting better and better, although I do wish that the UK got the updates at the same times as the other regions.

My guess is fixing the gamma issue with Japan might have screwed something else up with everything else
We have a winner! You don't win anything though. Sucks.
