    0.3.0.6402

    Client BuildId = 2754520
    Dedi BuildId = 2754546

    Game:
    • Pitstop menu now automatically confirms the requested changes upon entering the pitlane.
    • Added an input meter graph showing steering and pedals axes and a keybinding to toggle it on/off from the HUD. It was made to also be working in replays and render no matter the camera. Position and scale of this new HUD element are up to user’s preferences through hud_options.xml. Default has been aligned with FFB meter.
    • Added a “Fixed Setup” option to dedicated servers. When enabled, players are only allowed to modify the fuel and the brake pressure.
    • Added support for upcoming “Fixed Setup” time attack competitions.
    • Cockpit steering animation setting now has an extra option to render the steering wheel in a static position. Useful for cars featuring a data display on the steering wheel (ie. BMW M235i Racing or Formula cars)
    • Added more data to Dedicated server results .json: StartPosition, StartPositionInClass were added to Session. Sector Times, PositionInClass and a boolean stating if the lap was valid or not were added to Lap.
    • Updated to libcef 3.3282.1742 / Chromium 64.0.3282.119. Should help with certain crash reports and users reporting black screens.
    • Game now waits a full minute for http requests and ghost uploads after some users reported failed upload of leaderboard entries.
    • Changed so laps completed, invalid laps & best lap time statistics are not sent to the backend if cut track rules are disabled.
    • Changed so driving at high speed on grass (ie: on the side of a straight) now triggers a yellow flag event.
    • Changed so a car causing a yellow flag event is allowed to overtake other cars inside the yellow zone.
    • Fixed LED’s of the Fanatec CSL Elite that were lighting up by group of 3 instead of 1 by 1.
    • Fixed a bounce of the vehicle that could be observed with certain cars upon spawning on track.
    • Fixed a case where some users would still receive penalties upon spawning on the starting grid.
    • AI - Fixed a reported game crash related to DRS / PTP zones.
    • AI - Fixed a case where AI would sometimes be caught pitting before the pitlane opened.
    • AI - Added some variations to their tyre management to increase pitstop strategy differences.
    • VR - Added a loop for VR initialization so it tries 3 times before returning failure. In case it's just a temporary error.
    • VR - Fixed an issue where some system chat messages could not be seen (such as “user has joined the server” messages)
    • VR - Fixed a reported game crash
    • VR - Fixed an issue where the head position would move erratically when transiting to another racing session.
    • Tweaks to the revlimiter code to get more of a dogtooth effect in the rpm.
    • Tweaks to pitlane speed limiter to reduce some bouncing over the speed limit in certain cars. Just like in a real car, it is recommended to not apply full throttle while on limiter.
    • Tweaks to the slow-down penalty messages to make it more explicit that the user has to give up a certain time advantage.

    Sounds, cameras, physics & AI:
    • All Tracks - Tweaked AI pace in qualifying versus race
    • Audi RS 3 LMS - Triple screen cockpit camera is now properly positioned
    • Formula RaceRoom 2 - Tweaks to AI braking ability to better match player’s
    • Formula RaceRoom U.S. - Sound adjustments to the idle and low revs
    • Mistral M530 - Improvements to cockpit sounds
    • Nordschleife - Fixed AI scraping the apex guardrail during a race start on the Nordschleife layout
    • RedBull Ring - Tweaks to cut corridors
    • Sachsenring - Tweaks to cut corridors
    • Silverstone - Fixed AI braking in an unsafe manner to enter the pitlane

    Game
    • Player can now serve a slowdown penalty anywhere and will not be forcefully slowed down. The time illegally gained has to be given back within 60 seconds. Failing to comply will result in a drive-through penalty.
    • Cars serving a slowdown penalty are no longer ghosted.
    • Slowdown penalties are now displayed as part of the flag HUD element.
    • Sorted the controller assignments by categories in Controls settings menu.
    • Removed "Clutch Biting Point" from Advanced Controller settings, as it is no longer used.
    • Adaptive AI logic now ignores laps that are clearly slower than player's known pace. Any lap slower by at least 3% compared to player's average laptime in a given race session is now ignored.
    • Improved network communications in cases of extreme saturation. Should solve some timing issues spotted by players who are hosting a multiplayer race, racing themselves and also streaming in HD on the same computer.
    • Some performance improvements for situations where many cars are leaving skidmarks on the track.
    • Added key bindings allowing to move the cockpit camera perspective horizontally. This allows for setups with very large screens where the player isn't sitting exactly in the center of the display. This setting is remembered per car.
    • VR - Improved readability of the various HUD elements
    • VR - Mirror to screen option is now remembered between two game startups.
    • Fixed HUD messages not dealing with UTF-8 (accentuated characters will no longer be missing).

    • Fixed a HUD overlay showing up when switching between cars in a replay.
    • Fixed an exploit where players would leave the pitlane in the opposite direction and be allowed to cut corners after completing 2 laps.
    • Fixed the centering of the mouse cursor when driving with the mouse as a controller.
    • Fixed success ballasts not being properly transferred or applied between two championship races.
    • Fixed a live timing issue during a race start on the VLN and 24H layouts.

    • Added the full grid of the Cayman Trophy by Manthey Racing for the Porsche Cayman Clubsport GT4
    • Added a GT2 version of the P4/5 Competizione

    Game
    • Reworked our approach towards driving assists. In Single Player events, the player can now fully customize which assists are enabled and at what level. The assists available in multiplayer sessions will depend on the settings defined by the host. Competitions and leaderboards will still offer the familiar “novice”, “amateur” and “get real” options, enforcing equality in such competitive environments.
    • Dedicated server : Interface reworked for easier server management. Added settings for the driving assist, either enforcing specified assists levels or allowing connected players to freely pick and choose.
    • Dedicated server : Qualifying session timer is now frozen while the server is empty if there is no practice session and the “freeze session if empty” option is enabled.
    • Reworked the Multiplayer lobby page to better present servers overall. More filters are now available to narrow down a search we also added the required information regarding which assists are allowed or enforced for each server.
    • Introducing additional assists : ESP and Countersteer assistance.
    • Reworked the Assisted Braking to become more targeted towards not missing the braking points. Useful when learning a new track.
    • Implemented a weight ballast system for assists that do not naturally make the car slower.
    • Further tweaks to Slowdown penalties
    • Added Look to Apex, Pitch camera lag and Roll camera lag sliders to options menu.
    • Reorganized the option menus for easier navigation.
    • Added a menu option to toggle the saving of replay files
    • Lowered default volume values for Roadfeel and Suspension Squeak sound effects
    • Cockpit camera now has some movement from G-forces by default.
    • Car selection menu no longer shows cars in order of their release dates but alphabetically.
    • Further improvements to serving of Slowdown penalties after all the great feedback from the last update.
    • In a Multiplayer session with “Wrecker Prevention” option enabled, a player sitting idle on the track without accelerating will be presented with a message asking “Are you still there?” and to press Throttle to confirm. Failure to comply will result in being brought back to the garage.
    • Reduced the distance at which the green flag is presented after passing a yellow flag incident.
    • DRS in a multiclass race will no longer become available from following a car having a different performance index.
    • AI no longer defends its position in the first turn of an s-curve
