Check out the latest hotfix update notes for RaceRoom Racing Experience...
The team over at Sector3 Studios have been rather busy of late pushing out plenty of small hotfix updates to RaceRoom Racing Experience, all in preparation for the big new build release scheduled for deployment to the public version of the title in the coming weeks...
Although we didn't cover these minor release notes at the time, with a fairly major hotfix pushed live last night I thought it worthwhile to recap a little on what's been happening over the last few days in the world of RaceRoom Racing Experience...
22-01-2018
- Dedicated server now refuses incoming connections as soon as a session timer has reached zero. This will shorten the wait some players experienced where dedicated servers could be seen waiting for players for several minutes before moving on.
- Added Incident reports in dedicated server json result files. Incidents are reported for each player per session and per lap. They are given a type of incident as well as a severity indicator in points. Incident types are as follows:
- Type 0 = Car to car collision
- Type 1 = Collision with a track object
- Type 2 = Going the wrong way
- Type 3 = Going off track
- Type 4 = Staying stationary on the track
- Type 5 = Losing control of the vehicle
- Type 6 = Not serving a penalty
- Type 7 = Disconnecting / Giving up before the end of a race
- Type 8 = Missing the race start
- Fixed custom images for dedicated servers that were failing to upload
- Deployed some various server side fixes.
Additional note:
Related to the Incident reports, players can have the incidents output showing live in their game through the "Chat" system messages (yellow text) by doing so:
- Right-click the game in your Steam library
- Select Properties
- In the window that opened, in the General tab, click "SET LAUNCH OPTIONS"
- Add: "-repSystemDebug" (without the quotation marks)
- Start the game
