Infos about the patch

[Patrick Giranthon]

I try to sum up here the data about the patch.
If someone has other infos, he can post here too.

So, the content is for sure :

- a new open wheel car (Armaroli, F3...?)
- correction of bugs (qualifications and warm-up)
- use of online skins
- use of G27 LEDs
- 6 new layouts
(Brasilia - Infield Course
Curitiba - Outer Course
Jacarepaguá - Curva Sul
Interlagos - Café Chicane
Londrina - 2009 Long Course
Velopark - 2011 Course)
- upgrade of the handling and breaking.

Coming soon, very soon ;-)

No mention of fixing the "skip qualifying" bug???? In single player I would like to just pick a qualifying position in the middle of the field.

The DLC packs are separate packages independent from the patch.

Is it this?

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

The DLC packs are separate packages independent from the patch.

The new layouts and cars are also very waited. Do you have any precision for their release?

 

[Jason Lancett]

come on reiza, dlc content. a date, or a month??

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Release date is always: when it's ready

Asking it 10x per day won't speed things up unfortunately.

 

[slider916]

It should be out tomorrow evening.

Well, we know it's coming tonight, and that's good enough for me.

Just hit the F5 key all night long until it's released.

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

I am totally ok for the patch release.
The fact is patch and DLC are NOT the same thing.
I have to announce my championship with my selection of tracks.
If the new layouts come in 2 months, I have to announce a different choice.
So, perhaps Reiza has a release date for the DLC.
For the patch, I have already thank them for the answer they gave us...

 

[Renato Simioni]

You can expect a very busy week in terms of updates starting today

We understand the anxiety, the patch and the DLCs have been a long time coming. We´re working hard to make sure it will all be (hopefully!) worth the wait.

Im just happy they are supporting it so well. Im loving GSC so much. Never thought a racing series i had never heard of till this game would be so much fun to compete in.
