What’s New (Summary)

  • Massive physics overhaul for GT3-Specs classes, Prototype classes, GTO class. (Please note that the leaderboards of these classes have been wiped due to the overhaul)
     
  • Compact HUD to replace the mini hud.
     
  • FFB additions. Minimum force, slip effect, ffb meter, ffb multiplier per car.
     
  • Load/Save Car setups. Players can now save and load their car setups.
     
  • Bigger Grids. Maximum opponents on certain tracks can now go up to 100.
     
  • Fuel management in car setup
     
  • Oh, and new content too.

Game:

  • Added support for Logitech G29. Please note that all Logitech users need to get the latest drivers from Logitech to have wheel ranges working properly.
     
  • Implemented Compact HUD which replaces the minimalistic HUD.
     
  • Added Bigger Grids, allowing tracks to have more than 24 opponents. The maximum number depends on the track and can go up to 100. (SP only for now)
     
  • Implemented FFB Meter which can be used to check the ffb output for clipping.
     
  • Implemented FFB Minimum Force which allows player to amplify small FFB forces. This is mostly for players that have the “dead center” problem when driving straight.
     
  • Implemented FFB Slip effect which simulates when the tires struggle for grip during wheelspin, understeering, sliding, heavy braking.
     
  • Implemented stationary friction in FFB to solve wheels that rotate by themselves while the car is stationary.
     
  • Implemented FFB Multiplier per car in the car setup, allowing player to adjust the overall FFB strength for a car individually.
     
  • Added a new Steering Animation Setting in Vehicle Settings. Player can now set the steering animation rotation to be a custom degree or to match what’s in car setup under steering settings.
     
  • Added Load/Save in Car setup. Also reorganized the settings a bit.
     
  • Removed old auto saving of setup when leaving car setup screen and related logic. Car setup will no longer auto save and the unsaved changes will disappear when leaving the game session.
     
  • Added fuel to car setup.
     
  • Implemented lap invalidation for wallriding.
     
  • Fixed some threading exceptions that could trigger a crash.
     
  • Fixed some camera related rendering thread issues that could trigger a crash.
     
  • Fixed random crash that could occur when pulling out of pits in single race practice session.
     
  • Fixed an issue where the game was only seeing the integrated graphics card on laptops with NVIDIA Optimus.
     
  • Changed fallback null texture format to better support older low end graphics cards that were getting crashes on startup.
     
  • Fixed an issue where start lights could get stuck on screen on certain occasions.
     
  • Fixed an issue where the game would spawn the player at an incorrect garage spot.
     
  • Improved Shadow split calculation
     
  • Added a potential fix for parts falling off car at race restart.
     
  • Fixed so that pitmenu, pit window and pit related overlays don’t show up post race.
     
  • Fixed a crash that could occur while using instant replay.
     
  • Fixed cars flickering in replay.
     
  • Changed so ambient sounds for tracking cameras are initialized after the loading is done to fix some wrong calls.
     
  • Optimized the logic performance.
     
  • Fixed issue with test drive losing audio when alt-tabbing and going back to the game.
     
  • Fixed an issue with returning to garage after pause.
     
  • Fixed cars popping in and out on occasion.
     
  • Fixed error messages in the new menus appearing as white text on white background.
     
  • Revised several controller profiles according to the new ffb additions.
     
  • Added Logitech G29, Fanatec CSR and Thrustmaster T300 F1 Wheel addon profiles.
     
  • Tweaked keyboard default profile for better steering at higher speed.
     
  • Fixed issue with ffb gain only being updated on device initialization which meant that changing it in options didn’t change anything).
     
  • Fixed so wheel range, rev lights and led display are reset when game is closed.
     
  • Added supplemental controller type so that devices such as shifters and pedals trigger the right dialogue when initialized.
     
  • Changed so control set evaluation is only done on controller that's not supplemental. This fixes the with wrong control set being selected by pedals etc and removes extra dialogs asking the player if he wants to create a profile for them.
     
  • Fixed a crash that could occur in driver logic.
     
  • Fixed a freeze that could occur after the initial track load.
     
  • Fixed gear damage that was occurring when downshifting on cars with downshift prevention.
     
  • Changed LiveTimings, Race Monitor and Session Info to be part of the Menu System instead of being static variables/singletons. This is an attempt to clear up some of the mess and to hopefully fix the issue with menu being broken sometimes after session switches.
     
  • Fixed so “Visible Cars” feature applies on any camera, including free cam.
     
  • Fixed so only timing and position overlays are disabled when the tv overlay setting is off.
     
  • Changed so low fuel, push to pass and drs overlays are not shown if the compact data display is active.
     
  • Fixed a crash that sometimes occurred when bringing up the pit menu.
     
  • Fixed issue with PitPresets not being shown if they're created mid race through the pause menu.
     
  • Added menu music and music volume setting in sound options.



Multiplayer:
  • Added bigger grids in company dedicated servers for testing. We will set up few servers with more than the usual grid size (up to 100) to test and would like you all to join to help us testing.
     
  • Various potential fixes for a crash that was occurring when switching from qualifying to race in Multiplayer.
     
  • Increased stack size for game to fix the stack overflow crash that could have occurred when joining MP.
     
  • Fixed small issue with garage screen not refreshing after session switch in MP (still showed old session type name if player was in the menus during switch).

Note 1:
We understand that some of our players are experiencing crashes when loading into or during game session in Nordschleife. While we have made some optimizations it is still possible that you may experience crashes due to memory allocation failure. If this occurs, you can try the following to reduce the overall memory usage.
 

  • Disable replay recording. This is done by adding -disableReplay to Steam Launch Options.
     
  • Turn Opponent cockpit off in Video Settings.
     
  • Reduce Track and Car Texture Quality in Video Settings.
     
  • Reduce Shader and Car Reflection Quality in Video Settings.

Note 2:
Some users have reported that loading a car with a custom car setup after a physics update was deployed would sometimes result in a broken car behavior. We recommend to Reset your car setup to the new default values to prevent any such issue.


Update Highlights:



  • Fixed the join lag in multiplayer
     
  • Unlocked bigger grids for everyone in dedicated servers
     
  • Chat messages in MP are now yellow and allow 156 characters
     
  • Group 5 class physics update
     
  • Ford Mustang GT3 moved to GTR3 class


Game:



  • Fixed an issue with game finding wrong camera in pitlane.
     
  • Fixed so game gets properly paused in singleplayer race monitor if the user opens the steam overlay.
     
  • Fixed a crash that could occur during loading.
     
  • Reduced memory usage when loading into a track.
     
  • Fixed an issue in Garage menu where FFB remained active
     
  • Fixed an exploit that allowed players to use lower fuel quantities in Leaderboard Challenges and Competitions.
    • Due to this exploit we will soon remove entries that were created since the exploit was introduced.
  • Fixed an issue in pitstops where it would take extra 3-4 seconds after confirming 0L fuel or if the pit stop preset had no fuel needed. The game now it checks if fuel will be added, if not it cancels that action. If it was the only action, whole pitstop is cancelled.
     
  • Fixed cars full throttling at pitstops.
     
  • Fixed an issue where players were getting cut track penalties at pit entry.
     
  • Added missing fallback pages for DTM 2015 that was causing infinite black screen at launch for players when they failed to get the online loading screen.
     
  • Fixed issue with compact data display being positioned incorrectly on different aspect ratios.
     
  • Added default profiles and wheel ranges for Thrustmaster 150 and TMX wheels.
     
  • Added proper filtering to car setup load/save system.
     
  • Restyled the car setup a little.
     
  • Fixed an issue that was causing a crash at launch if the player had an older version of graphics.xml
     
  • Fixed header formatting for certain system backend requests that might reduce certain timeouts.


Multiplayer:



  • Fixed the severe freeze that occurred in MP when another player joins.
     
  • Added Bigger grids to player dedicated servers.
    • Please note the max opponent allowed depends on your track rotation. E.g. If you have a track that only has 24 slots in your rotation, that will be your max opponent allowed overall, despite having a track that goes up to 100. This is to ensure no one gets kicked out/disconnects when they choose to continue to next track. If you want 100 cars you have to make sure not to include a track with less grid slots available.
       
    • Please also note that the game becomes quite laggy after 40. While we will look into optimizing things, you should avoid setting a track with more than 35-40 opponents.

  • Fixed so the player is put on the Garage menu after pressing and holding ESC instead of having to press and hold ESC twice
     
  • Increased chat message max length to 156.
     
  • Changed message area/box text color to yellow so it’s more readable if background is white.

  • P4/5 Competizione : Added Downshift Prevention beep
     
  • Hockenheim : Camera sets added
     
  • Suzuka : Fixed incorrect spawn positions when using high amount of opponents
     
  • Nordschleife - 24H layout : AI tweaks
     
  • Shanghai : Fixed AI going too fast into the hairpin

  • Chevrolet Dekon Monza : Fixed some cockpit gauges
     
  • Nissan Skyline 2000RS : Fixed tacho dial
     
  • Ford GT GT3 : Fixed some blurps of pixels on the side mirrors
     
  • Ford Mustang GT3 : Improved some old looking textures on the tail lights
     
  • BMW M3 E30 : Wheels were not perfectly round, causing weird FFB signals
     
  • Brands Hatch : Fixed a hole in the ground
     
  • Hockenheim : Fixed a hole in the ground on the inside of Sachskurve
     
  • Norisring : Fixed some normals on pitbuilding, tuned IGA banners for a better visual fit, tweaks to generics and props
