Hey everyone!
We're back with another patch.
We've been on a cadence of one patch per week (kind of) since release, and as the winter holiday period is approaching, the team will be taking a much needed break so that we can come back in January ready to bring more updates.
During this time we will continue to monitor and work on critical issues.
Now for today's patch notes though!
Changelog - Update 1.1.7
Cars
Praga R1 has new tires and a tweaked set-up
Crashes
Fixed multiple game crashes related to the pit crew
AI
Fixed an issue with the Porsche Mission R where the AI did not go full throttle on parts of tracks with banking
Fixed an edge case that allowed AI cars that are DNF & DNS to set lap times when the session is already over
Fixed an issue where AI drivers sometimes received a valid finishing lap time when the stage ended even if they were still in the middle of their lap
Smoothed the target point for AI drivers, allowing them to follow the drive line better when no other cars are around
Adjusted AI behaviour to prevent them from insistently approaching the drive line during the first part of grid starts
Championships
Fixed a bug where championship progress failed to update when clicking “Finish Round” and skips the reward screen too quickly
Consoles
Fixed an issue where if you have both a gamepad and a steering wheel plugged in, when the gamepad went to sleep, it would show a pop-up message that your gamepad disconnected (Sometimes in very unfortunate moments during a race)
Updated default bindings to address feedback from the community that the ignition input was being activated by mistake
MFD
Updated the MFD to have both forward and backward navigation
Pit Stops
Fixed an issue with the Ford Mustang GT3 that the fuel cap was on the wrong side resulting in weird snapping from the pit crew
Settings
Fixed an issue where Anti-Aliasing settings were not always saved
Official Contests
Added a rejoin button which will allow you to rejoin the contest if it’s still in the Practice or Qualification stage. If you rejoin while the contest is in Qualification stage, you’ll be sent to the pits and able to spectate the remaining session but you’ll be able to race as normal once the Race stage starts. Rejoining is not possible during the Race stage.
Spectator/Replay
Readded a button that was missing to allow you to tilt the camera when in Free Camera mode
Added a “Live” button for live replays which will jump to the latest point in the replay
Fixed an issue where spectator visibility bindings for managing the spectator overlay were not working
Safety Car
The safety car has been temporarily disabled in online contests until it learns how to behave
We really appreciate all your feedback which helps us continue to improve the game.
And with that said, I will see you guys on the tracks!
