No Laos livery, no buy!

No ABS, no traction control! Accelerate VERY VERY carefully!! But seems that does not apply to the AI.

No animated wind turbines, no buy.

It always seems like the AI is best during the opening laps. Like you're on cold tyres and they aren't.

I wish they would instead tease an engine update to something that is not based on 2010 technology but there we are...

Andi Goodwin · Aug 31, 2022

dx9 is 2002 ;
dx10 2006
race room has a mix of both

They have to start teasing a new graphics engine ASAP. I stopped using this gem because of that.

Gevatter · Aug 31, 2022

Trucks you say? Now that sounds interesting.

Yes, instead of constantly adding new tracks and new cars, an overall update of the game is badly required. I haven’t played RR in over a year and a half. No weather system, no day/night transition, etc. This sim is stuck in the 2010’s.

R00b_Driver · Aug 31, 2022

Yeap, have to agree that R3E needs a graphics overhaul.

It completely breaks the immersion for me, haven't played it in ages.

Same for me. There are many great things in this sim but one gets spoiled easily by AMS2 and ACC. I also havent launched Raceroom for many months and dont buy new content until it gets upgraded.

and of course by rFactor2! For me rFactor2 ist the better Raceroom in any way!

Wilko Jones · Aug 31, 2022

Its about time. I'm not a Formula car fan, but I am eager to try this car out. It should be a lot of fun.

TeddyBearx · Aug 31, 2022

the content in Raceroom is very good, and with my simucube, it feels good. But honestly, the graphics have stopped me now.
New 3d engine ASAP.
Raceroom is now the last game about players count in steam, AMS2, rF2 are all above....

I wonder if we could discuss the actual update since most of the posts seem to be complaining about the graphics.
Since most are also saying they haven't played it for ages I'd presume they have nothing to say about the update
So let's try to stick to the topic please.

MJQT · Aug 31, 2022

Today's Formula One doesn't interest me, so that portion of the update is not for me. BUT...

I hear T R U K, and my ears immediately perk up

Oh my. From Formula Truck to Formel Lastbil (Swedish from Google Translate for Formula Truck

). Looks like Reiza might have some big rig racing competition coming their way!

Just the norm for when this game pop's up in this feed lol

I used my pot of VRP and purchased the X-22 car and ran it around Zandvort and Spa. First impression is the car seems like a nice addition to the RaceRoom collection.

If people cared about the content being released, maybe they'd talk about it more.

RR, as always, is too late to the party trying to stay relevant in the market, by providing their own variant of exactly the same car that has been available for months on other platforms.

In no particular order, we already have:
-An entire official game
-A DLC in AMS2
-At least 2 mods for rF2
-At least 5 mods for AC
-At least 1 mod each for older games like rF1, GTR2, GP4 and F1C
Granted, especially with mods your mileage might vary.

It's important to have options and alternatives, so that the public can choose, but at the same time, it's literally nothing we haven't already seen before elsewhere, thus there really isn't something to talk about.

This is a textbook example of content fatigue. Just as all games having GT3 cars to race with, just as all games having Spa and the Nordschleife to race on, and so on and so forth.
Nobody cares.
