    I hear some people talking about the rain update but rain still comes through the windshield for me.

    Is it out? If so, how do I get it to work?

    Thanks!

    I tried, verifying integrity, the new GT3"s on Silverstone and maxing out all settings, which run quite smooth now!:)

    Confirm If you're on dx11 and using an official car that have been updated.

    I have this problem with rain inside the cockpit but only with some cars. Eg. Nissan 370z gt4. The GT3's are ok. I have deleted Cbash and shaders folders.

    Shaders aren't the issue. The no rain mesh will be.

    Opt out of betas by selecting none right click rF2 in steam list / properties / betas

    Unsubscribe from affected cars run game to remove them then close game and resubscribe.
    Old cars dont get removed if you have vmods/rfmods that use them

    I am out of Beta and I have the rain effects plus wipers working, so I guess the cars are up to date?

    My wipers work but I thought the GT3's would work.

    I will check and make sure I'm in DX11.

    Also check what version of the 370Z you have too.....should be v1.93. Easiest way to check is look in ....\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Installed\Vehicles\Nissan_370z_2012\ and the should be a folder named 1.93 under that.

    Won't Opting out of betas revert me back to DX9?

    Edit: That fixed it. Thanks! But I thought default was still DX9?

    Nope, DX11 became default now. You should only ever use betas if you want something other than default.

    Can you add the "solved" to your opening thread post Vega? Would be appreciated.

    Do we have to delete shaders for the new rain update? And where is the file? I forgot!

    I just tried the GTE cars with rain for the first time, I was amazed at the performance I get in VR with my gtx980 and a maxed out grid. It's running with 45fps with ASW and once the field spreads I can go to 90fps even if I choose too....

    However I still get all the spray into my car (and also dust). I am running the latest update of the GTE car and I was in the BMW.
    I thought this was fixed? :(

    So I am bumping this. Especially since I now know that other people using VR are not getting spray inside the cockpits.

    I have deleted shaders, cbash, resubbed the cars, checked integrity. Only tested this with the GTE cars for now.

    I have most settings on low or medium, but I don't believe this has anything to do with this problem.

    Yup bumping the this thread again. I have rain inside the cockpit of the s397 GTE Porsche 911. Most noticable at night. All S397 content and all up to date. I too am using VR. I tried to screen grab it but it doesnt show up in the image :(
