Released 26-04-2016 RaceRoom has been updated

BoP - balance of performance, adding ballast / restrictors to make different cars perform equally

 

Hi, I'm new in the forum of sector 3. My question is : since the new update some tracks have decrease the amount of ai cars. For example Monza was 29 cars now it's 24 cars. Portimao was 35 cars now it's 24 cars and laguna seca too 24 cars. I would like to non if other guys have the same problème.
Have a good day.

 

I was hoping this patch would go some way to allowing me to use the game again but unfortunately not

Huge stuttering is making it unplayable, even at far lower settings than I used to use before the previous patch. Might be time for a system upgrade but I hope I'll get a bit of time to do a more thorough analysis on it at some point.

 

Look like the AI pit bug is fixed.

 

thx

Thanks Jim !

 

I have the possibility to test the new patch at earliest tomorrow or then friday, but if this is so, it is very unfortunate. I liked the way clutch+H-shifter was modeled before. Even if you didn't make terrible shifting and completely lock your rear wheels, still even minor mistake and not having rev matching could cause your gear box a slight damage. So, the previous system really pushed you to practice your braking and shifting and simply to be more precise with the handling and adding the challenge of driving with these cars. It was actually fun when you started to learn the rhythm of the track and car combination after a few practice laps and in race, if you get sloppy, you were definitely penalized with a small damage indicated by the flashing in the hud.

It may level up the playing field with those who drive with only two pedals, auto clutch and sequential controls, but as I play pretty much only solo, I'd like to have the full experience.

 

I will take a look. My thread lists the max AI per circuit before this update. Only Zandvoort was increased to 31.

@The_Grunt Not sure how this will work with H-Pattern and clutch, because i have DFGT and use auto-clutch and sequential shifter (well, still closer to real than paddles). It behaved identical when I disabled auto-clutch but gearbox was getting damaged.

@James Cook Yeah, Monza has max 24 cars now

 

OK tonight after work, i'll compare your list and the amount of max Ai of each track than i can used for single race or personnal championship. Maybe i'm wrong (i hope so)...

 

I guess some tracks cannot properly support those numbers and the AI has been reduced while they are worked.

 

I was getting more stutters after the last big patch. After a lot of tweaking I decided to undo everything and go back to base settings. I removed all the bios tweaks, project lasso, nvidia inspector tweaks, I did a clean reinstall of the nvidia drivers and went back to base 3d settings (except for vsync and performance mode).
It now runs as good as it ever has. I mainly use medium for the game grpahic settings.
Of course the nordschleife VLN and 24hr layouts still run poorly around GP track but everything else including the standalone nordschleife layout runs really well. Anyway good luck, hopefully this helps.

 

Also try to run the game in borderless windowed mode instead of fullscreen, it looks exactly the same, for me it killed all the stuttering (prolly only works under windows 10, but im not sure about that tho...)

 

I'm sooo disappointed in this update S3.

I thought I would be faster with this update, but I am not. WTF?

 

Glad to see S3S and R3E picking up the pace. It is very nice to see R3E being mentioned more and more around sim community. Thanks guys!

 

I can't see driver names any more. (triple screen).
The position of the yellow chat text ist too low and is coverd by after race overlays.
This isn't tested well with all resolutions. :-(

 

You mean if you drive a H-shifter car with sequential and auto cluth?

 

I think he means the actual shifting mechanism performs too quickly for an H-Pattern shifter, that you can rapid-fire shift in the H-Pattern shifter cars like they have a sequential.

 

For some reason I cant post times with the Fabcar after the uppdate. Is the leaderboard temp
down??
