Game Update (Patch Notes Early Access 1.12.15)

Changes

Rolling Starts

• Updated how the system works to make rolling starts more consistent and to prevent it from behaving unexpectedly when cars don’t follow the procedure as intended.
• Each driver now has an invisible box that they must be within—indicated via the rolling start radar.
• These boxes now move in tandem with the safety car. If a driver is outside of their box, they will get a notification, without it affecting the procedure for other cars. If this notification gets ignored, the driver will get a penalty.
• Drivers only need to focus on remaining inside their box to not get penalized.

Time Gained Penalty

• To make Time Gained Penalties less harsh we have changed how we determine whether you have gained time by leaving the track bounds or not.
• The system will start working once you have valid mini-sector data from at least 1 lap
• For this penalty to trigger, the mini-sector time has to be the fastest from your last up to 10 laps.

GT3 Physics

• Adjusted Draft/Slipstream Behavior
• Reduced Peak Draft Strength when close to other vehicles
• Slightly increased Draft Strength when further away from other vehicles

Fixes

• Fixed multiple issues that were causing DX12-related crashes
• Fixed an issue which was causing servers to crash
• Fixed an issue which resulted in Telemetry settings not being saved
• Fixed an issue that caused the login screen text fields to be greyed out, preventing players from logging into their accounts
• Fixed an issue with headlights not working anymore after getting repaired during a pitstop
• Fixed an issue with the audio from the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 not being affected by the Opponent Audio slider, resulting in the volume being at 100% all the time regardless of where the slider was at.
• Changed the camera angle for applying stickers in LMDh cars so you can see them a bit better

Known Issues

• Rolling start radar for opponents can sometimes jitter
• Auto clutch is still engaged if you set up the clutch manually instead of using the setup wizard
• While the ICM is open, certain input is blocked
• Using the toggle binding for the ICM does not close it
• Pit Crew can be clipping on some tracks
• Drivers can gain league points when ending as DNF
• Sometimes users are not pulled into a server once it starts
