    Due to car physics changes, it is advised to reset Car Setups and Steering Settings to their default values.


    Due to the downshift prevention implementation we have cleared all the leaderboards.


    Game:


    • Added new content that will be released very soon.

    • Downshift prevention logic implemented. Sequential gearbox will refuse to downshift if revs are going to end up above the limiter. H-Pattern gearbox will try and engage the gear and fail until revs are lower.

    • Tyres of the DTM 2015 cars will pick up Dirt & Gravel when driving off-track, reducing grip on the affected tyres until they’re clean again. Game will play a sound effect of pebbles hitting the car body that will reduce as tyres become clean again.

    • Added new things in Shared Memory block. Check our forum for details and link to updated github rep.

    • Removed exclusivity of certain Experiences. All content is now accessible and usable in the main R3E.

    • Added a new argument “-disableReplay” that can be added in Launch options on steam to disable replay recording.
    • Fixed an issue where you start in the wrong car when number of cars is more than the visible cars set in options.

    • Fixed an issue with not being able to select each car when number of cars is more than the visible cars set in options.

    • Improved random grid position so it’s now really random.

    • Implemented a new shadow system that improves performance and visuals.

    • Fixed an issue with time left where it was returning the session duration if the session hadn’t started yet.

    • Fixed an issue with drivetrain wobbling out of control when in Novice or when TC is 100%

    • Fixed so the shifts without clutch in semiautomatic transmissions are damage free.

    • Fixed an issue in audio where the coast backfire sound wasn’t stopping in some cases.

    • Fixed an issue with cars behaving jerky in novice mode by smoothening the brake and throttle changes when brake assist is applied.

    • Fixed an issue with the TV cameras where you could see a couple of seconds of a wrong one.when switching to TV Cam.

    • Allowed use of handbrake regardless of track being hillclimb or not

    • Various HUD tweaks on areas where text would often not fit the given frame/field.

    • Optimized motion blur

    • Made changes how frequency and damping are affected by gear ratios, to increase oscillation effect in higher gears

    • Removed oscillation from differential distribution on driven wheels, to normalize torque output a bit

    • Added an option to load opponent cockpits (Video/Custom Settings)

    • Reverted a drivetrain tweak that was done to differential torque

    • Fixed an issue where the order on the left hand side of position bar was reversed.

    • Fixed an issue where the shortened names were being used despite having enough space for it in the position bar.

    • Tweaked G25 & G27 FFB values in default profiles.

    • Fixed DRS animation not working after rewinding in replays.

    • Fixed game video playback issues that were causing the experience menus to get slow and sluggish after a while.

    • Fixed an issue where the players could not resume their lap if they opened the pause menu after session timer reached 0.


    Multiplayer

    • Added full name, total time, finish status and lap information such as time, position and pit stop status to race result logs.

    • Fixed a crash that occurred to everyone in the race if one of the participants had a name longer than 32 characters which was exceeding the buffer and causing issues in replay creation.

    • Fixed an issue with players not seeing each other outside of P2P zone.

    • Fixed mp dedi front end not loading properly on Internet Explorer.

    YES

    > Default livery is no longer forced upon purchase. Player can now choose a livery to go with the car.

    Is this change retro-active, meaning that if we've bought a car with only the default livery, we can make a one-time change to a different one free of charge?

    This is a really nice change and should make multiplayer races more visually appealing. Nice job. :)

    Wow just wow. Just ran a race at Spa with the GT3, feels so much better. The downshift protection is well done and doesn't feel forced at all. It's hell though seeing all those RUF's, Nissans, and Ford GT's and no way to buy em yet, but I know that's coming. Thanks to the staff and the beta testers as well. Seems like a great update so far.

    Fixed an issue with drivetrain wobbling out of control when in Novice or when TC is 100%

    THIS, I cant thank you enough, it was I who first reported this through a support ticket. I had to made a video just to explain what i was talking, it took me AGES to upload as internet speeds in Malaysia is horribad:mad:, and the response in the end i got was rather underwhelming, Alexander Wallberg said it was added to dev bugtracker, and will be fix in the future:(. As time passes, my believe on a fix that will arrive starts to wander. This problem makes Group 5 cars in particular impossible to drive for me (gamepad user) as the first gears often send the revs into a terrible wobble, ultimately spins out the car. During the summer sale, it was THIS problem that stopped me from grabbing the Group 5 pack. So thanks again for fixing this issue, and ill be seriously considering to get the Group 5 pack now :):).

    So is the GTR3 class now the defacto GT3 class in R3E that will be continuously updated as time goes on? What happens to ADAC 2013/2014? Are they still running the old physics?
