A fixes round, with a few things made while filming the trailer. If you drive with a wheel and separate pedals, please bind your wheel again in Options > Bindings: it should now behave.
Wheels and pedals
- With a wheel base and pedals of their own (two devices), turning the wheel could work the throttle and the pedals steer. Both were saved as "any joystick's X". Each control in the WHEEL column is now kept on its own device. If yours still says "Any joystick", bind it again; Wheel status in Options tells you when two controls share one.
- A saved binding on a wheel, pedals or shifter that is not plugged in no longer wipes your other saved bindings; it waits until the device is back.
World records
- Leave the finish window while it says PROVISIONAL WORLD RECORD and the game now keeps checking. When the verifier confirms it you are told wherever you are, with the record sound.
- Retry straight after a new record and the stage now picks up your record's ghost as soon as it reaches the leaderboard.
In the car
- The gear lever moves through the gate with your gears, and the hand grips the knob palm-down.
- The handbrake works: the hand closes round the handle and goes back with it. Both cars' handbrakes sit clear of the driver's arms and legs.
- At night the headlamps glow from outside, and the headlights cast shadows, so they no longer light the far side of a crest before you get there.
- On foggy stages the sky takes the fog's colour, so no bright mountain-shaped patches hang at the top of the screen.
On foot
- A torn-off bonnet lands flat and is flung aside, instead of standing on its edge by the car.
- The crew work at the car with their hands for roadside jobs, instead of holding out empty arms.
- Carrying a wheel or tool, your legs walk normally underneath.
- Pumping the jack, whoever is at the wheel kneels behind the handle and works it with both hands; the jack rises to the sill and lifts the car on the last pump. Online, your friend sees it too.
- With a wheel knocked off, the brake disc stays on the hub with the caliper rather than leaving the caliper floating.
Career and the yard
- Leaving a career event part way through (to the garage or the menu) now keeps the damage you took. It had been dropped, a free repair.
- The donut board now says what it counts: drift round the cone with some speed on.
- The skid pad's tyre marks are no longer pinky/purple.
- The Garage and the bay show your car dressed like the one you drive.
Updates and diagnostics
- The main menu tells you when a newer version is out. Quit the game and Steam updates it.
- Session summaries now note each moment the game stuttered (when, how long, where), so I can find what causes it.
