How do I convert to rFactor 2 Steam version? Here you will find the full instructions on converting rFactor 2 to Steam. https://commerce.rfactor.net/steam-transfer-form Can I convert my lifetime online to Steam? Yes, lifetime will be carried over to your rFactor 2 Steam version. What happens to my non-Steam yearly online subscription when I convert? For those who still have a decent amount of time remaining on their account, we can work with them to transfer that time over to Steam. Please use the following email to make the request: steam-up@rfactor.net Will I still be able to get a Lite version of rFactor 2 on Steam? To make a “strip down” version of rFactor 2, which looks and behaves exactly like a “Lite” version, you'll simply need to unsubscribe from all content on Steam Workshop. Can I still install content manually or will I have to use workshop? No need to choose, both are possible. You will still be able to place .rfcmps and .rfmods in your package folder located in your Steam rFactor 2 directory to install any piece of content manually, exactly the same as before. Is hosting a dedicated server via Steam very different or more involved? Actually, Steam offers multiple ways of hosting, and they are all fully compatible. We now have a dedicated server distribution available via SteamCMD, which functions as a very lightweight version of the Dedicated Server, available to anyone -- no need to log in to the Steam client. Updating the dedicated server distribution is as simple as re-running the command line script once a new Build becomes available. For Steam client users, via the “Tools” menu in Steam, a separate dedicated server can be installed and will show up as another entry in your gaming library. The server will be auto-updated when new Builds are released, completely maintenance-free for you. So you can choose between user friendliness and manual flexibility, whichever works best for you. Will all of my plugins, custom UIs/HUDs, car skins, still be compatible with the Steam version of rFactor 2? Yes, all external plugins, car skins, and customs UIs/HUDs that are currently compatible with your non-Steam version of rFactor 2 should be fully compatible with the Steam version. How much longer will the non-Steam version of rFactor 2 be updated? The update following Build 1084 will be the last update of the non-Steam version. Will I still be able to run rFactor 2 non-Steam and put up a non-Steam dedicated server in the future? Yes, there are no plans to remove this feature. What will happen to the non-Steam matchmaker? It will continue into the future as well. I run a league and we might need to stay on a previous Build, is that possible in Steam? Yes, you can select a previous version -

Arrivano oggi una serie di nuove immagini e video per DiRT Rally in versione console, il gioco di guida targato Codemasters, già disponibile su PC in formato digitale su Steam dallo scorso dicembre e che arriverà nei negozi anche in versione retail, su PS ed XBox One a partire dal 5 aprile. Il titolo punta ancora allo standard dei 1080p e sessanta fotogrammi al secondo sulle console current-gen, un traguardo ragguardevole, e che la versione PlayStation 4 è "molto, molto vicina" al raggiungimento. Su Xbox One si è invece un po' indietro: il team sta cercando di raggiungere i medesimi risultati, ma in caso contrario potrebbe optare per una risoluzione dinamica, che potrebbe scendere da 1080p a 900p nelle fasi più impegnative. In ogni caso le due versioni saranno sostanzialmente identiche e Codemasters potrebbe addirittura ricorrere a una patch day one per sistemare le performance. Iconic McRae liveries. Seven new cars. Vintage full gravel Pikes Peak. All this and more, arriving to DiRT Rally on April 5th 2016. Available for pre-order on PS4 and XBox One now: www.dirtgame.com -
The update also brings two new cars to the game, the Hyundai Rally and the Volkswagen Polo Rally. These cars are the most recent additions to the pinnacle of the sport and they are the perfect way to round off our Early Access programme. The Winter Wonderland update also sees the introduction of Steam Workshop support that allows players to share Car Setup & Force Feedback settings. You can find a guide for this here: DiRT Rally Service Park - Guide You can get started with settings from our simulation team here: Developer Service Pack We’ve also made improvements and refinements made to Global Leaderboards and League support. Here’s the rundown of other stuff that’s new this month: You can now tune your immersion levels by customising your OSD options, choosing between On, Countdowns Only and Off. The Logitech G29 wheel is now correctly listed in the controller preset menu. Custom Championships now reward you with the correct number of credits. There’s a new EULA to sign when you boot the game, which asks you to kindly behave yourself when you’re playing with others. Your favourite pet mouse has learnt a new trick, and can now change the livery on your car. If you own an Owner’s Club event, you will now correctly own the Owned achievement. If you pledge a wedge to an online Wager Event and the event ends while you’re on stage, we’ll give you your CR back. Your Oculus Rift can now be toggled to lock the horizontal orientation. Look for a flag in the hardware configuration file. Sliders on the Advanced Racing Wheel Options screen now increment at the same rate as the Steering and Pedal calibration screen. Your Service Crews are back from their training course and will now correctly setup your car for multi-location events. Stopped one set of Rallycross results from appearing on a Rally leaderboard. You no longer need to hold the headlight control to activate your lights. You can now just tap that. Windows accounts with accented and non-latin characters will now correctly save game settings. Fixed a weird bug where the camera would briefly flick back to the default position at the start of a stage after customising the seat position. Kick_Up will now politely and calmly inform you if your wheels fall off, and if you’re going the wrong way. As ever, please stop by the forums and let us know what you think of version 1.0 and how you think we did in early access. We couldn’t have done it without you! -

Il team ISI annuncia una doppia novità riguardante il suo rFactor 2: come prima cosa un corposo sconto del 40% per l'acquisto del simulatore, che è possibile ottenere entro il 18 ottobre, in secondo luogo sono state rese note alcune caratteristiche del rilascio del software sulla piattaforma Steam, previsto prima di Natale. If I already own rF2, can I move over to the Steam version for free? Yes you can migrate over to the Steam version at no extra cost. Once you do this, your original non-Steam product is no longer active. Will non-Steam and Steam rF2 be cross compatible? Our goal is that MP races are cross compatible, yes. -
It’s time for version 0.8 and we are returning to our rally roots with the mighty Flying Finland pack. We’ve added 12 new stages from Finland, the world’s fastest rally and two iconic cars driven by our local heroes from one of the greatest battles in rally championship history. Add to this a new game mode and loads of fixes and features and this pack is almost as big as those Finnish jumps and crests. Oh, and did we mention mouse support for the menus? You did want that right...? So here is what’s new: 12 new rally stages near Jämsä, Finland All new 2000s vehicle class 2 new cars - Subaru Impreza 2001 and Ford Focus RS Rally 2001 Custom Championships – You can now tweak the number of events, stages and AI difficulty. This will mean that you can set up an event that suits the amount of time you have available and get rewarded accordingly. Mouse Support! – Yep you asked for it so here it is. It’s still a work in progress so please give us your feedback on how we can improve it. We’ve reworked the handling on our 60s, 70s, 80s RWD and 2010s classes – these changes have seen improvements to the way we model suspension and tyres, along with engine and aero rework they really make the cars feel a lot more dynamic to drive. We’ve updated the engine audio for the 1995 Subaru Impreza in the Group A class. We’d like to say a massive thank you to Ryan Champion for letting us use his awesome car for the recording! We’ve wrapped our replays so you can rewind from the start of a replay to watch the final section of your run much faster than you could before. We’ve added a new ‘Invite Friends’ option in the lobby to make it easier for you to get the people you want into your PVP races. Here’s what we’ve fixed: The audio FX levels for the surfaces and kick up have been brought back so that you can hear all that gravely goodness. We sent our Rallycross AI drivers to the opticians so that they can now see when they need to avoid other cars when they are approaching the joker entrance. Now that they can see better they are also setting faster laps. We’ve fixed the camera clipping in certain camera angles when you changed the Field of View. We’ve made some Hyper threading fixes that should now prevent those annoying stuttering issues that some of you were having. We’ve stopped the Engineer contract lengths and costs from being affected when competing in league events. Toggling Push to Talk or enabling/disabling voice communications through the pause menu is now actually working. The Reset Timer has now been increased to 15 seconds when attempting to get back on track. I know we said that before but this time it is actually in. Cars will no longer roll over on the start in PVP races, ROFL. We’ve made sure that the cars are visible on the start line even when collisions are turned off in PVP – they will still ghost during the race though. Your PVP opponents won’t be showboating and driving around with the handbrake on anymore. The gear setup will no longer be changing between stages without a service area. We’ve fixed those odd camera angles that were being used in spectate mode. The miles driven using owned vehicles in PVP now accrue towards unlocking upgrades for that vehicle. When viewing a replay using an interior camera, the speedometers now show the correct speed for all vehicles. We’ve fixed a whole host of other stuff too but they were too boring to call out in this list. Be sure to let us know how we’re doing, or just stop the forums by to say hello. Stay mid over BIG jump!

Con il trailer promo che vedete qui sotto, il team ISI annuncia ufficialmente il prossimo arrivo sulla piattaforma Steam anche del suo ultimo rFactor 2, che in questo modo potrà avere una maggiore visibilità ed un pubblico più ampio. Vi ricordiamo infatti che il primo rFactor è già in vendita da tempo su Steam (oggi al prezzo di 22,99€). Da segnalare inoltre che oggi ISI ha rilasciato la versione aggiornata 1.2 del tracciato di Mountain Peak Speedway. That’s right! We’re very happy to confirm that rFactor 2 will be joining rFactor 1, and available on the Steam platform in the near future! This is an exciting step for us, as it exposes our software to a much wider audience, an audience that we think is beginning to appreciate simulations more than ever before. We’ve put together an announcement trailer, we hope you enjoy it! (Yes, there are some tasty previews of the Stock Cars… When will they be released? You’ll be racing them this weekend!) -

DiRT Rally World RX Multiplayer Update Woa! It’s time for DiRT Rally’s v.0.7 update already, which this month introduces online competitive play to DiRT Rally. That’s right, you’ll now be able to head online and challenge your friends in officially licensed FIA World Rallycross events. But wait there’s more! We’ve also added a stack of new features and changes including: A new World RX track - Hell, Norway New Rallycross drivers including, Liam Doran and Petter Solberg Wet weather for all Rallycross tracks Three new cars: DS3, MINI Countryman Rallycross and Subaru WRX STI Brand new Wager Daily Event Some new advanced gamepad options Added a “Very Early” option for your Co-Driver calls A frankly amazing set of Hints and Tips for you to read during loading screens Removed the additional time penalty when the Off Track Reset Countdown expires and upped the limit on the timer We’ll now show you your 'Fastest lap' onscreen for an entire Rallycross Event Clutch Override which will give you the ability to use your clutch to override the automatic gearbox clutch And that’s not all! On top of all that goodness above we’ve also made the following additions and changes to DiRT Rally. *bleep bloop* new achievements Added a toggle for ‘Clutch Override’, which allows you to override the automatic clutch (allowing for clutch kicking) ‘Advanced gamepad options’ are now available for joysticks... Yup somebody out there is playing DiRT Rally with a joystick Message added indicating if you’ve missed the entrance or exit of the joker lap. Optimised all routes for Lydden Hill so it chugs less Graphical Improvements to all stages on the Holjes Circuit as well as the routes for Powys, Wales and Pikes Peak Those excessive gravel surface sounds have been toned down – which should also help with stuttering audio Fixed an issue where the Community delta time splits were being incorrectly shown in the Pant Mawr stage from Wales Light pods no longer show on day routes when using the bonnet / interior cameras on certain vehicles Direct Input slider axis enumeration has been fixed which is a fancy way of saying this should solve issues with pedal bindings, most frequently the clutch Rallycross friend leaderboards now only show the players fastest lap time Abandoning a Rallycross Daily Event now uploads the stage maximum, rather than the time the game was paused... oops Jump starting certain Rallycross tracks no longer results in the players lap counter refusing to increment when passing the start/finish line Fix for the Founder liveries disappearing after the player resets their profile Community delta times are now displayed correctly in the standings before the event begins The Community delta times that were invalid on some tracks have now been reset Crossing a reset line will now always result in you receiving a penalty The Rallycross AI will now find the correct gear at the start of the race and not comically reverse Joker laps will now register even when exiting the joker sector backwards... Because sometimes it’s fun to show off The AI will now take the Joker lap in a Rallycross event less than 4 laps The AI should no longer accidently take a Joker lap when switching paths after losing control. Did you ever see that bug where the Rallycross AI would drive into a barrier, reverse, then drive into again? It was pretty funny but we thought we better fix it Used your data to improve our AI across all Rallycross routes. They’ll now put up much more of a challenge Just like every time we release an update there are a few things which we know won’t be perfect, don’t forget that DiRT Rally is in Early Access still and we need you to help us polish it. We’re confident that everything should run smoothly and thank you to all our players who have been helping us test this latest update. So if you spot something that isn’t quite right or working as you expect be sure to swing by either the Codemasters Forums or Steam Forums to let us know. As ever thank you for your support so far, we know we say this a lot but we really are grateful of all the feedback to date. Next month we head to Finland for the fastest and most exciting update yet.

Added a FFB slider to control the strength of the force applied when centring the wheel. Clutch deadzone and saturation sliders have been added to the advanced wheel options screen. Added support for the Leobodnar Sim Steering FFB system. A game preference has been added to allow for the driver arms and steering wheel to be hidden when using an interior camera.

Upgraded motion platform and telemetry peripheral support so you can now run as many DBox and UDP streams as you want, simultaneously without the need for 3rd party software. Finishing 16th in a championship event will now give considerably less rewards. Fixed a problem where the game would cause random inputs in the menus that didn’t come from you.

The FIA World Rallycross Championship presented by Monster Energy has signed a new partnership with successful video game developer Codemasters in order for World RX to be featured in DiRT Rally. The game is now available on Steam Early Access. The first stage of this partnership will see the RX Supercars, tracks and racing modes implemented into DiRT Rally as part of Codemasters’ commitment to deliver regular content updates during the game’s Early Access phase on Steam. Owners of the game will soon be able to drive a choice selection of these cars for themselves across three different game modes and experience the sheer speed, action, dynamism and performance that makes World RX one of the fastest growing motorsports in the world. As with previous updates, this new content will be available free of charge to existing owners. The tracks that have currently been built and included in the game are Holjes (Sweden) and Lydden Hill (Great Britain). The Hell circuit in Norway will be added in the near future. DiRT Rally’s Lead Designer, Paul Coleman, explained: “From the outset we wanted DiRT Rally to be the ultimate off-road racer and to fulfil that vision we knew we had to include World RX. Since the launch in Early Access back in April we have continued to add new, diverse content to the game and World RX will add another dimension that will challenge even the most experienced players.” At the World RX round in Sweden over the weekend, the Championship’s top drivers were able to test-drive virtual versions of the 600bhp RX Supercars that compete in the World Championship. “Codemasters have done a brilliant job – the detail is very realistic and not far from real life,” explained Team Volkswagen Sweden’s Johan Kristoffersson, who is currently second in the overall World RX drivers’ standings. “As drivers, we always want to change the smallest things on our cars, but this version is very good. There are just a couple of tweaks that need to be made and then I think it will be just like driving the real thing. It’s by far the best rallycross game I have played.” Martin Anayi, World RX Managing Director for IMG, concluded: “It was great to have the Codemasters team with us in Holjes over the weekend, which allowed us to showcase our new joint game venture to over 40,000 fans. Codemasters has worked exceptionally hard to get this project off the ground and it’s been encouraging to hear such positive feedback from our drivers after they had test-driven the game. We are very excited about our new collaboration with Codemasters and look forward to working with the team more closely to help develop the game further.” -

Il nuovo titolo rallystico della Codemasters, nonostante sia ancora in versione beta su Steam, ha saputo già appassionare molti fans della derapata controllata. Vi propongo quindi la lettura di una interessante intervista fatta a Paul Coleman, lead designer di Dirt Rally. “We've completely remodelled the physics engine and the simulation of how these cars are represented, and that’s given us an incredibly solid foundation on which to build from. We're getting a lot of this information out of reference books, manufacturers will correct us in some cases, or approve them in others, and we’re then using our new physics simulation engine. We're able to put those numbers in much more faithfully than we've ever done before, so that every car actually feels like it does in real life.” -
A quanto pare la serie DiRT di Codemasters torna - a sorpresa - solo su PC, almeno in questa particolare versione apparsa in queste ore sull'Accesso Anticipato di Steam: il nuovo DiRT Rally è infatti disponibile in early access, acquistabile a 29,99 euro (a 26,99 euro in questo momento grazie allo sconto del 10%). Si tratta di un arrivo a sorpresa, indubbiamente, visto che un nuovo DiRT aleggiava da tempo nell'aria ma non era stato ancora annunciato nulla di ufficiale da parte del publisher. Codemasters ha deciso di percorrere la strada dell'Accesso Anticipato per il nuovo capitolo, affidandosi anche alla community per ricevere feedback e suggerimenti su come portare avanti lo sviluppo del gioco, oltre a poter utilizzare un sistema di finanziamento indipendente prima del lancio del gioco in forma completa. Qui di seguito trovate il tipico trailer di lancio con alcuni screens in game. -
Il team ISI ha annunciato oggi l'arrivo sulla piattaforma digitale Steam del suo glorioso rFactor: fino al 9 marzo sarà possibile acquistarlo con lo sconto del 15%, al prezzo di 19,54€. rFactor 1 is now available on Steam! It is currently on sale, 15% off the regular $24.99 price until March 9th. We've added achievements, fixed a few issues and got rid of the activations, etc, for those using Steam. Although users are still welcome to buy from ISI as well. It is completely cross-platform compatible with the non-Steam release. This has been a useful exercise in finding out what the options and limitations are with Steam. We can't yet be tied down to a definitive answer on whether rFactor 2 will find its way to Steam, but it looks quite likely at this time. -
GSC Extreme v1.25 is out - now also on Steam! http://store.steampowered.com/app/273840 Steam Release Info If you already own it you may now switch your Serial Number for a Steam key from the official GSC Extreme website: http://game-stockcar.com.br/steam-key/?lang=en This is valid for purchases made from release until yesterday (February 9th). New non-Steam purchases will NO LONGER warrant Steam keys. Existing NonSteam installs will continue to work even if you do switch your Serial Number for a Steam key, but you will not be able to use the Serial Number again for an install in a fresh system. Moving to Steam is recommended, but not required. Just like in this release, the plan is to continue updating both versions simultaneously. If you do prefer to keep multiple installs of the game for mods, be advised that for now is not possible with Steam. INSTALLATION (Non-Steam users): Update to v1.25 by running GSC Sync. Main changelog for v1.25: Content Cars: Added Metalmoro MR18 Prototype series Added GX390 rental karts to KARTS series Tracks: Added Johannesburg Historic Added Ortona kart track (4 layouts) Updated Goiânia to post-2014 reform Features & fixes: Extensive audio revision from new onboard & trackside recordings bring updated sounds to all cars; Tyre physics updates for all cars further improving lateral / longitudinal force combining; LOD optimization to F-Vee, F-V12 & F-Retro in attempt to minimize stuttering, plus other LOD adjustments for all cars for consistency; Adjusted terrain properties (road, curbs, grass & gravel); The hard compound for the F-Extreme & F-Reiza now has its proper orange Pirelli sidewall label; Corrected bug with corrupted textures in the F-Vee cockpit when running graphics detail lower than max; Corrected bug with Spielberg & Buenos Aires corrupted textures when running graphics detail lower than max; Fixed garage placements at Spielberg Historic; Removed exit sausage curbs at Londrina & Cascavel as per their 2014 updates; Texture updates for Santa Cruz do Sul; Advertising adjustments in various tracks.. Known issues: Several code-related issues reported from v1.21 are still present in this build, as the code is going through a rewrite which has not been completed in time for v1.25. For that reason v1.25 has the following known issues: Bug in the scoring in championship mode for all series; F-Extreme can occasionally disappear when hitting 8th gear in multiplayer; F-Extreme & F-Reiza tyre restrictions are not applying in pitstops. Among other minor issues which are known and will be addressed in the coming weeks, along with the adittion of other features previously expected for v1.25.

Assetto Corsa 1.0 è ora disponibile per il download su Steam. La versione 1.0 non è soltanto il traguardo di un lungo ed intenso periodo di lavoro, ma segna un nuovo inizio.
