Hotfix 0.5.4-1
Displays & Performance
- Fixed: fullscreen at a resolution smaller than your monitor could draw the track as a black rectangle under the HUD. Fullscreen now always renders at your screen's native resolution. To render at another resolution, use windowed mode.
- The main menu background is now a static image instead of a live animated track — it was costing CPU on weaker machines.
Race Weekend
- Fixed: a car rejoining from the pits could be counted as a collision with a car on the straight, often triggering a phantom safety car.
- Rebalanced puncture events — they were happening too often. Stints are now planned with a margin so punctures come from racing variance, not from the strategy itself.
Career
- Fixed: infrastructure spending was deducted the instant you pressed +, and raising then lowering a level refunded only half. Nothing leaves your budget now until you end the turn — adjust freely, undo costs nothing.
Thank you for the reports — keep them coming.
