New Update Deployed – BuildID 5207296

1.thumb.jpg.fb4481479cc986d37cecd2064c9ffa39.jpg

 

Update details:
Download size = 1.0 GB
Client version = 0.9.0.968
Client BuildID = 5207296
Dedi version = 64.0.1135
Dedi BuildID = 5207548

Changelist:

  • Dedicated server - Added UI elements to API controls for restarting current session and send out penalties to players. These currently have some known issues such as not resetting incident points on a race restart, or skipping the garage phase and restarting straight to the grid.
  • Dedicated server - Potential fix for some users getting kicked for high latency after a session switch.
  • Dedicated server - Fixed an issue where a penalty received by a player in the first race session would still be applied in the second race session.
  • Shared Memory - Added incident points data. Updated minor version to 7. (retrocompatible)
  • Controllers - Some Thrustmaster wheels were reportedly acting up with flatspot effects after a recent firmware update (30). Default profiles have it turned off as a consequence until resolved.
  • Physics - Fixed an issue with friction heat calculations where you could see tire temperatures rise unexpectedly at low speeds
  • Physics - Changed Ignition / Starter logic so that if you have those controls bount to buttons, you now have to press and maintain the Starter button until the engine is fully started.
  • Sounds - Road noise volume slider range now properly offers 0-100% range
  • Sounds - Fixed the last occurrences of hearing sudden high revs / hitting limiter from other cars while watching replays or spectating multiplayer races
  • Gameplay - “Position Bar Relative” setting caused some position bar issue in multiplayer where the same name would be repeated in all the boxes when that option was enabled. As a quick fix, we temporarily disabled this feature and forced it to be disabled.

Changelog:

  • DTM 2020 uses a specific Push to Pass regulation:

Push to Pass is not available on the first lap.

Push to Pass is not available to the race leader. (A race leader is determined at the crossing of each track sector and not only at the start/finish line)

Push to Pass is available regardless of the gap to the car in front of you.

  • DTM 2020 uses a specific DRS regulation: 3 activations per lap for a maximum number of activations set to half the expected amount of race laps (rounded up). (i.e.: a 18 laps race will give you a maximum of 9 activations, and since you can activate it 3 times per lap, you can run out of DRS within only 3 laps).

DRS is not available on the first lap.

DRS is not available to the race leader. (A race leader is determined at the crossing of each track sector and not only at the start/finish line)

DRS is available regardless of the gap to the car in front of you.

Client version = 0.9.2.17
Client BuildID = 6069362
Dedi version = 70.0.1238
Dedi BuildID = 6025985

Changelog:
Missed from December patch notes: After an exploit had been found with pit lane speed limit tolerances (where players would be seen in the pit lane without the limiter on to gain a small advantage by going slightly above the limit), that tolerance was reduced. This has caused some reports of harsher pit speed penalties, which have felt unfair at times. While we look into improving on those cases, players can seek to adapt and adjust their techniques: be careful to enter the pitlane under the limit and make sure not to turn off the limiter too soon when leaving the pitlane. While driving down a slope, avoid giving your engine too much torque as it will be more likely to cause your car to speed above the limit. (using 1st gear with the full throttle is more likely to make you bounce above the limit)

  • Fixed Hillclimb stages start phase that failed to hand over control to the player
  • Fixed a case where certain replay files could fail to load
  • Fixed -triScr parameters that could conflict with a prototype for a new interface that is still in development.
  • Fixed dedicated server getting stuck in a session when the “Stay in Practice if empty” option was disabled.
  • Physics – BMW M4 GT4 – Increased suspension travel
  • Physics – Formula RaceRoom 3 – Lowered minimum diffuser operating height
  • Physics – Formula RaceRoom U.S. – Increased suspension travel

  • Physics – Scirocco Gr2 – Fixed incorrect placement of the fuel cell
  • Cars – Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo – Improved position of hood / bonnet / rear cameras
  • Cars – Audi R8 LMS GT4 – Improved visuals of the cockpit data display and LED’s
  • Tracks – Bathurst – Fixed an issue with a Pirtek sponsor
  • Tracks – Brands Hatch GP – Visual tweaks. Fixed an art material present on the exit of turn 8 that could trigger a lap invalidation.

Client version = 0.9.2.23
Client BuildID = 6138034
Dedi version = 71.0.1244
Dedi BuildID = 6140042

Changelog:

  • game.raceroom.com is now switched to https
  • Pitlane speed limit tolerance has been adjusted when the limiter is enabled.
  • Slowdown penalty multiplier from repeated cuts is now properly displayed on the HUD notification
  • Tweaks to slowdown penalty logic where the player’s best valid lap in the session is now used as reference to estimate the time gained and the time being given up. If no valid lap exists yet, we then use the AI’s predicted speed just like before.
  • It means the time the player gives up will be more accurately calculated and that the best place to give that time back is no longer in turns, which should improve safety as well. A good tip is also to avoid slowing down near pitlane entrances and exits as slowdown penalties are frozen while in pitlane.
  • Prevented enabling pit limiter or engine ignition during an AI-controlled rolling start.
  • Fixed the default set of driving assists being selected at first game launch.
  • Fixed an issue where player could sometime get stuck when leaving a server early (i.e. before results were made official)
  • Fixed dedicated server results having wrong final positions for players suffering early disconnects
  • Fixed dedicated server UI issues with certain long track names as well as lap and duration selector that could sometimes reset the race length value.

  • Fixed the flickering of contact shadows (under the cars) for VR and Triple Screen rendering.
  • Fixed some issues with spectator mode on servers with rolling start races and lap-based races
  • Fixed issues with rolling starts when Assisted Braking was enabled.
  • Fixed some gearbox grind noises that could sometimes be heard during an AI-controlled rolling start
  • Physics - Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO - Adjusted idle revs to prevent occasional stalling
  • Physics - BMW M4 GT4 - Increased rear suspension travel by 10mm, dampers tuned for better handling over bumps

  • Physics - Porsche 964 Carrera Cup - Improved standing start performance through a clutch adjustment
  • Physics - Volkswagen Scirocco - Adjusted the rear tyres wear rate.
  • Physics - WTCC - Added adjustable engine braking
  • Physics - WTCR - Improvements to the initial grip of fresh tyres and help reduce the tyre pressure increase over longer stints. Optimum grip is now reached at 80 Celcius. Default tyre pressures were adjusted to match.
  • Tracks - Dubai - Fixed harsh cut detections, moved the leaderboard spawn location closer to the racing line.
  • Tracks - Hockenheim - Moved the leaderboard spawn location further back
  • Tracks - Imola - Moved the pitlane entry gate entrance
  • Tracks - Portimao - Fixed harsh cut detections
  • Tracks - Scandinavian Raceway (Anderstorp) - AI behaviour tweaks to South layout
  • Tracks - Sepang - Fixed harsh cut detections (note: Sepang North layout appears to crash on load, this is being investigated)
  • Tracks - Suzuka - Fixed west layout pitlane that triggered invalid laps.
