Beta Patch 1.31
Hey Guys,
Thank you to everyone for the feedback we've received since the launch of our GT Series and Create a Team DLC. We love hearing about the experiences and challenges you’ve encountered with this new content.
Since the DLC released we've been hard at work on a new patch to squash a number of bugs that have cropped up since it was released. This patch is going to be released now on the beta branch. A number of the changes we’ve made are subtle or balancing related and whilst our QA team have tested these changes and are happy everything is working well we’d like to also get your input on the changes before we make it live on the main branch.
One of the key changes we’ve made in the patch is to the blue flag system. We’ve improved the detection of car performance to ensure that the game is more appropriately taking into account how fast a lapped car is in relation to the car ahead. This will make it easier for cars to unlap themselves when they are faster than a car that’s lapped them.
We have also included an option to toggle on/off blue flags. This is something that the community have requested, but we advise caution in its use as this will inevitably cause leading cars to be held up by backmarkers.
If you would like to access the beta branch here is how you can do so:
• Right-click game in steam library
• Select properties
• Go to betas tab
• Enter password “MotorsportManager” in the text box
• Choose the beta option from drop down menu above the text box
• Starting the game will install the beta
