v1.2 issues

[Redvaliant]

loving 1.2 but have a few issues.

.I can no longer enable Vsync since the new release. It is enabled ingame , in the cfg file, and even in Nvidia 3d settings but it wont enable.

.There is still the damage bug in the replay, ie, if you lose a wing on an early lap and fix it in the pits the replay never restores the visual wing.

.The car-joining server lag is possibly worse in this version. I get a massive fps drop and severe stutter/lag whenever a new car joins the server - usually on a hotlap and in a fast cnr lol.

.The spin engine-stall, regardless of how early one gets on the clutch.

new improvements that work are the real time lap timer on the KS2 that gives instant and +/- readouts of your lap re the best lap.

Have you downloaded the update Redvaliant? Join lag seems the same to me, although I don't like the new splits, as you can be down a whole lap back off and still go faster (is it really that difficult to give us 3 sector times)? Also damage with the KS2's way too sensitive. You can spin, barely touch the armco at walking speeds, and you'll still have severe suspension damage! Apart from that the car's brilliant, and soooooo much fun

My controller (G25) freezes sometimes.

This freezing is like when you are in garage and change from skins back to car. It can happen in any moment on the track and controller doesn't react at all in few seconds.

I have this in FVA too, not ever in v1.1 or any other game.

@Kunos

Is there any chance to get the dynamic carshadows back?

And it's possible to remove this black bar (gears, timesplit)at the buttom of the screen (KS2)?

[kunos]

i will try to reinsert dynamic shadows in 1.3, same for an optional key or cfg option to get rid of the black bar.

I tryed to load a replay from 1.1 version and it stuck,i tryed another one and same...

I struggle a lot with KS2 low speed understeer. I don't know what is the failing part with physics. Could be tires, suspension or weight distribution.

If I try set it a little less understeery, it's totally unpredictable to drive. Corner or braking might be fine one lap and next time around car will shoot you left or right. It seems that you can't increase front grip with setup change. You just make rear more or less loose.

Result of all this is very unrealistic driving. For example in Prato Full GP those 2nd sector long slow corners are fastest to drive with massive understeer. There is no point to try to feel the grip limit. It's slow. You should just put the front tires sideways and accelerate.

try the diff. go to the extreme, preload to 0 and coast as low as possible then start from there.
