yes we are aware, but it's part of a bigger job, not something we can hack in a hotfix sadly.
Hopefully you'll have a bit more patience with this.

But you changed it in a hotfix. Now try to play with the new keys with manual gears...

 

[Giovaneveterano]

Still trying to make it run smooth.
My old boy can't keep up with this graphic engine..

Have the AI lost their super human skills of spin recovery yet? I raced the AI then one was spun out, only to perform a feat that no human, Marvel or DC superhero could ever do and recover then rejoin.

 

[Alex Townsend]

I did that last night in a public server... got spun 720 degrees at the 2nd Lesmo, rejoined and overtook the s0d on the next lap.

I'm doing that during testing, just change your keyboard input to English while you play and you should be fine. As explained in the changelog, the arrow keys had to be freed up for in-game navigation. Custom bindings will come later on.

thanks for the asnwer, much appreciated. I'll wait for it.
I'm fully aware that's an EA game (and probably development will continue after 1.0), each small step must cost hours of development. I was just sad that keybinding simply disappear....

Disabled "Remove fastest lap" penalty from practice and qualifying

I don't quite get why they took this out, was it too much?

 

[Frank]

I don't quite get why they took this out, was it too much?

It was very punishing at times. I once cut the first chicane on Monza to not get in the way of someone's lap, but the game saw it as a cut while I didn't gain any time, removing my fastest lap.

with 7.1 and 7.2 disappeared "save game" why? ****ing patch? these upgrades are not done well in the race now there are also crash.

Because the feature didn't work yet and the button wasn't supposed to be there in this version.

Yep, its getting much better with each update. It should be a top sim on release.

I really wish they implemented Track-IR though, I find i don't play it for very long for this reason. (I know i should get over it, but i rely too much on Track-IR in Racing Sims now...).

Does anyone know if the devs have commented on this at all?

Anyway, keep up the good work Kunos!

Thanks ,So they could report it, like they did with all the release notes. It is useless to simulate a 6-hour race when it is not yet possible to save the progression.

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

brave move, doing a hotfix days before you showcase your product at a big esports event! hope everything runs smoothly.

Well, there wasn't a release note that said "Saving sessions now implemented" neither so it should be pretty clear ^^

What have you got?. Wondering what my experience would be (i5-3570K @4.2, GTX 970, 8gb ram).

Similar setup here.
I'm around 25fps maxed out. I can run it at 60fps, but the visual quality is extremely bad, way worse than the footage I saw on youtube.

A 970 is enough to get the game running at 60 fps in 1080p with mid to high settings, even though you might be dropping to 40-50 in extreme conditions (night and/or rain), *if* it is supported by a good CPU. An old 4-core i5 will be somewhat struggling with ACC, especially when running a higher number of AI, and your performance might drop because of that. ACC is very CPU dependent, GPU mostly just determines what resolution you should be running at.

Is there a better AA solution to be found or is what we have now with temporal AA “as good as it’s gonna get”?

 

[Dady Cairo]

Look with steering wheel aka glance left right aka look to apex is still missing.
Can't drive right without it.....
