2023 Season 1 Hotfix 1 Release Notes [2022.12.08.01]


This Hotfix contains a variety of fixes and updates for the 2023 Season 1 Release.






iRACING UI:

--------------------------------------------------------------


Paint Shop

Fixed an issue where a variety of vehicles were appearing with dents and scrapes in the Paint Shop while high shader quality was in use. Now, in order to see how your car will look with severe scrape damage, you’ll have to go do it yourself out on the track!



SIMULATION:

--------------------------------------------------------------


Active Reset

Fixed an issue where vehicle fuel level and the ignition state were not correctly being restored when Active Reset was Run.

Fixed an issue where the default Custom Sector Start and End Points created by Active Reset were not working when the car was traveling above 120mph. The extra space that is added before the Custom Sector line is drawn is now scaled with velocity, so that the car no longer misses the Custom Sector Start Point.



Physics

Fixed an issue where vehicle collisions were disabled during Heat Racing Sessions if the preceding Session included separate run groups.



Graphics

Fixed an issue where the Field of View slider in the Graphics Options Menu was no longer functional.

Fixed an issue where some crowds could appear to be coated in metal or shiny mud.



Force Feedback

A new setting, “[Force Feedback] enableRunawayProtection=1”, has been added to the “app.ini” file. Setting this toggle to “0” turns off all Force Feedback Runaway protections and it should ONLY be set if you are using a Force Feedback Joystick.
