2022 Season 3 Patch 2 Release Notes [2022.06.30.02]
This Patch contains a variety of updates and fixes for the 2022 Season 3 Release, as well as the release of the brand new 2022 laser scan version of Atlanta Motor Speedway - Oval, AND the addition of the New Damage Model for all five versions of the Dirt Sprint Cars!
SIMULATION:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Race Control
Fixed an exploit that could allow drivers to subvert the race control requirement to use multiple dry tire compounds during the race when it was enabled. This exploit included towing your car during the pacing lap and changing tire compounds while waiting for the green.
New Damage Model
Fixed an issue where engine damage due to collisions was inadvertently disabled with the 2022 Season 3 Release. Engines now receive damage from collisions once again, so drive safely!
Adjusted the manner in which suspension damage is repaired, particularly if the suspension was bent or twisted.
- - The repaired state should be more realistic, leaving some bend or twist in the suspension while still improving it.
The friction coefficient for concrete walls has been increased slightly to make wallriding less advantageous.
Fixed some inconsistencies with how an opponent car or car part would signal the player car that it was having an impact moment.
Graphics
If compute shaders are disabled, do not instantiate the AMD FSR post-processing effects.
Fixed a critical issue where recentering VR using the recenter HMD control, without VR active could crash the Simulator.
Fixed an issue with AMD FSR with multiple monitors while having SMAA enabled in cockpit view.
Fixed an issue with AMD FSR with fullscreen mode.
Fixed an issue where the VR mirror window would not resize correctly when AMD FSR modes were active.
Cars
Dashboard gauge bloom parameters have been updated to the latest parameters. This update affects all stockcars and trucks.
Environment
Fixed an issue with the lightmaps for ambulance sirens.
