Sector3 Studios have deployed a new update to RaceRoom Racing Experience, deploying the new BMW 235i to the store and adding several important fixes to the game.
The simulation has gone into maintenance mode today and will be down for several hours as the game updates, so to keep you all entertained while you wait, check out our BMW M235i Racing preview and images from our earlier article HERE, and the full change log from today's update below:
New content:
- BMW M235i Racing
- Lowered default minimum force setting for Thrustmaster wheels.
- Fixed Slow Down penalty calculations on turbocharged cars
- DRS no longer deactivates from lateral G’s
- Changed so game stops reporting error 13 when leaving a game session after only losing a couple heartbeats during the session
- Change so the pitlane speed information overlay always shows when inside the pitlane.
- Fixed a case where cars would appear to be hovering above tarmac on pre-race screens.
- Fixed some data displays showing a ticker counting up to 0 at race starts.
- Fixed an invalid lap overlay that was sometimes showing without any text.
- Added a button to view the leaderboards upon finishing a hillclimb run so we could get rid of the non elegant solution of showing the position bar to inform the player of his position.
- Changed the logic for the “Restart” button in leaderboards & competitions so it no longer purges your best lap and can still show the live time diff to your ghost on the data display.
- Fixed a message wrongly stating the next lap would be invalidated in Hillclimb runs.
- Fixed an issue where the HUD elements would sometimes be moved when coming back from an instant replay.
- Fixed a crash occuring sometimes when cycling through cameras in the pitlane.
- Game now aborts start-up if no display adapter resolution was found.
- Added a dedicated server setting to set a latency limit (in milliseconds). Any player caught consistently above that limit will be automatically booted.
- Added a dedicated server setting to force the race to end after a set time (in seconds). When set to OFF, the server will always wait for a race winner.
- Fixed an issue where the dedicated server would sometimes not wait for late joiners to complete their loading sequence and proceed to next session anyway.
- Fixed a case where disconnected players would sometimes remain visible on the HUD track map.
- All cars: new external gearshifts added.
- All cars: Adjusted suspension sounds.
- All cars: Road Noise is now pure of any chassis sounds. Increased trigger sensitivity of bump samples.
- Audi TT cup : Increased AI respect for other cars space
- Mercedes 190 DTM 1992 : New sounds
- Opel Omega DTM 1992 : New sounds
- Hockenheim : fixed a harsh cut detection on the right hander entering the stadium area.
- Nordschleife : Tweaked AI speed in Carousel.
- Spa-Francorchamps : added some fly by cameras
- Added Team information on player profile and leaderboards.
- Free content is now visible again in store.
- Lada Vesta 2017: Fixed an interior window texture
- Nürburgring : modified the font of the Porsche tagline on the GP pitwall.
- Spa-Francorchamps: Resurfaced to reflect current asphalt, small fixes and tweaks.
