2024 Season 1 Patch 2 Release Notes [2023.12.19.02]
This Patch Release contains a variety of updates, fixes, and improvements for the 2024 Season 1 Release. Among these included is the second wave of sweeping performance improvements for our 2024 Season 1 tracks.
iRACING:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Cart
Improved the flow when a user attempts to register for a session where they do not own any of the necessary content used in the session.
Hosted Races
Resolved an issue when clicking on the "See Full Profile" button of the session host was opening the Session Info modal rather than the user's Profile.
Car & Track Info
Resolved an issue when registering for a multiclass hosted session from the "Find Session" tab of the Car or Track modal was not finding the session to which the user was registering.
Results & Stats
This update fixes the images in the logo column of the Series Stats & Standings table.
Series List
Fixed "Full Series Page" button alignment in Race Guide view.
SIMULATION:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Graphics
A sweeping change has been made to the processing of tree textures. SpeedTree textures have been added to the texture tossing algorithm. Whenever the application is running with low video memory, the SpeedTree textures are now downgraded in addition to other objects. This should improve the framerate for users with lower video memory.
- - The SpeedTree system is used at all of our new tracks.
For SSR, fixed a Simulation crash issue that could occur when enabling SSR on Low, after loading into a Session with SSR disabled (and while also having SSAO enabled).
Audio
Sounds for sawtooth and rumble strips as well as rumble curbs have been improved.
