A Straight4 már lassan egy hónapja nem adott ki információt a még mindig döcögősen működő Project Motor Racinggel kapcsolatban. Persze ez nem jelenti azt, hogy a srácok elfeledkeztek volna a játékról, remélhetőleg inkább a végtelen mennyiségű hiba és anomália kigyomlálásán munkálkodtak.
Úgy tűnik valami csak történhetett az egy hónap alatt, ugyanis ma megérkezett az 1.6.0.0-ás javítás, ami jelentős előrelépést jelent – legalábbis szám alapján 😀 Az biztos, hogy a changelog nagyon hosszú amiben gyakorlatilag a játék minden része szerepel is.
Szerintem majd elő adásban a YouTube-on megnézzük valamelyik nap mekkora is az előrelépés. A frissítés tartalmát kicsit lentebb olvashatjátok angol nyelven.

Vehicles​

• Fixed an issue affecting certain cars that would turn driving assists off despite them being on.
• Improved windscreen reflections and materials, along with cockpit displays and gauges across multiple cars.
• Additionally, the Porsche 992 GT3R has received improved cockpit vibrations.

Handling & Physics​

• Changes to the engine modelling for more realistic revving and inertia.
• Upshift/downshift tuning to go along with the previously mentioned change.
• Tuned brake balance and ABS settings.
• Updated tyres for improved overall handling.

GT3, GT4 & 992 Cup​

• Default Brake Bias changed to be more towards 50% with a change to the rear brake sizes. User created setups should be revised for this change.

Penalty System​

• Improved track limit detection margins and accuracy.
• Fixed incorrect penalties on Nurburgring Nordschleife and Lexington.
• Added safer detection of drivable surfaces outside track limits.

Online & Multiplayer​

• Fixed an issue that could cause players to experience a black screen when another player quits the lobby and fall through the environment.

• Added safeguards to ensure grid positions are correct.
• Fixed a potential soft-lock issue that could occur when selecting events during leaderboard updates.
• Improved maintenance mode handling and network stability.
• Fixed an issue where the racing line could stop updating in online races when a player in the lobby became unready.

Career Mode​

• Improved validation for missing DLC, mods, and invalid configurations.
• Championships now only populate with owned tracks and valid grid sizes.
• Weather seasons now appear throughout Career Mode events.
• Weather conditions enabled giving a chance of wet weather conditions.
• Start times have been reviewed to give more time-of-day variety including night-time.

AI Opponents​

• Improved braking logic, throttle response, and understeer/oversteer handling.
• Enhanced AI predictions using track incline, tilt, and wet-line speeds.
• Improved pit stop logic, pit exit behaviour.
• Added slip protection and safer re-joining behaviour after leaving the track.
• Fixed multiple issues related to AI behaviour causing system crashes.
• Refined AI performance for closer, more consistent racing.
• Adjusted AI tyre wear to better match player performance.

Tracks & Environment​

• Added and refined ground collision materials to better support the penalty system across multiple circuits.
• Improved tree LODs, alpha clipping, and billboard optimisation.
• Fixed texture issues, clipping and LOD (level of detail) distance setting, and colour saturation on walls, kerbs, and terrain across multiple circuits.
• Fixed “micro gaps” for ground surfaces across multiple circuits.

Rendering & Visuals​

• Fixed shadow LOD inconsistencies.
• Improved exposure handling, including cockpit exposure masking.
• Fixed rear-view virtual mirror issues on consoles.
• Improved reflection quality and anti-aliasing in mirrors.
• Fixed fog fade issues, black sky cases, and near-fade artefacts.
• Ensured atmosphere quality can no longer be disabled.
• Fixed intermittent overlay rendering and outline issues.

UI​
