This build is available on: - Auto updater - Torrent for update. - Torrent for full installer. - http for update. - http for full installer. (see downloads thread for links). To use the auto updater: Make sure you are logged into the launcher, and then go to the update tab. Or, you can update/full install manually as you have for previous updates. It's also VERY possible you will crash the auto update server. That's sort of what we want. Post-release notes: - Your readme says 117, don't worry, you have 118. - People have reported issues with the track surfaces. You have a wet looking track when it should be dry, and 'zebra' markings, etc. Info on how to workaround is here: http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/8184-Build-118-Released?p=108127&viewfull=1#post108127 - ALT skins are not working, as we are mid way through development of another way to distribute them. UPDATE 8 (Build 118) Changelog (October 19, 2012): ====================================== GRAPHICS: ————————— Fixed a bug with inconsistent shadow detail between channels in multiview Added 3 levels of shadow filtering speed vs quality Enhanced autodetail framerate processing to better maintain minimum FPS Added auto detection of multiGPU setups to improve some processing and support more than 2 GPU Fixed a quadgrid culling bug Fixed bug with pendulum texture animations Bloom is now working properly with multiview Different texture detail levels between player and opponents now (almost) works FPS counter now shows yellow when frame rate is being regulated Attempt to fix 'left-behind-shadows' problem Separated auto detail processing from visible vehicles processing Limit auto-detail FPS option to the current refresh rate Selecting multiview now works; changed widescreen HUD to only stick if Apply button is pressed, just to be consistent with the rest of the settings on that page. Sync shadow groups between views in multiview Added code to visible vehicles calculation to maintain minimum framerate. Improved multiGPU awareness of HDR processing GAMEPLAY: —————————- Corrected code to always use track GDB SettingsFolder override Setting session starting times default to 9am Changed default steering help from low to off because it confused a lot of people Re-enabled transparent trainer and added some options for it. PHYSICS: —————————- Added code to allow RealRoad to be pre-conditioned in a number of ways Moved some real road computations into road shader Fixed typo that prevented the middle turbo dump sample from playing Improved turbo dump Added minor effect of turbo spool friction Fixed a small problem with auto reverse AI: —————————- Attempts to get the fuel-less AI to slowly pull off the road. UI / HUD: —————————- Fixed bug on skin spinner where sometimes the skin listed wouldn't match the skin displayed in showroom Fixed statbar car position map to correctly scale with screen/hud resolution. Now checking livery availability on vehicle change to make sure it's valid....clearing out the playerfile value if it is not found. Eliminated more conditions where the player vehicle gets incorrectly set to Pace car. More UI stuff for RealRoad loading/saving Minor fix to info display on Video Res page Scaled text on mouseless spinners to correct value based on screen res and res of options. Added ability to add boost gauges to cockpit and HUD. BUG FIXES: —————————- Fixed crash in multiplayer Fixed some memory/resource leaks Fixed crash when changing tire compounds in pitstop Small optimization with regards to buffering data between simulation & multimedia threads MULTIPLAYER: —————————- Added dedi server RealRoad options Fix occasional flash of opponent vehicles in wrong spot during heavy multiplayer races Fixed a glitch that caused it to confirm you closing the dedicated server when clicking the window manager close button at the final window CONTROLLER/FFB: ---------------------------- Enabled and expanded Fanatec support. We can now set the steering wheel angle to match the vehicle, as long as the wheel isn't using a preset. Note that these wheels must be connected and turned on before rF2 is started in order for specific features to be supported. Removed double initialization of controllers. It's still a mystery why force feedback is occasionally lost, and the lack of error codes returned by drivers doesn't help much (this applies to all manufacturers ... please return error codes if the force feedback isn't working). "Reset FFB" control now also resets steering wheel range, which also gets changed occasionally for no apparent reason. Now automatically holding clutch and brakes on grid for people using a combined axis for throttle & brakes (this feature was already available for people using auto-shifting). This Feature activates *if* Auto Clutch is enabled as well as "Hold Clutch On Start" and "Hold Brake" in the controller.ini file. PLUGINS: ---------------------------- Completed custom plugin control (this invalidates old Version05 plugins) A little bit more robustness with respect to saving and restoring custom plugin control mappings REPLAYS: ---------------------------- Fixed issue where transparent trainer would flicker in replay; note that this changes the replay format MODDING / PUBLIC DEV ---------------------------- Fixed bug with render target selection for all 3DS Max plugin versions Added a new default method for generating normal map tangent basis. original method (meshmender) is still available as an option. Added _v25 to the names of all plugin dlls First release of scene viewer, located in ModMgr directory Fixed some problem with component Install/Uninstall in mas2 packaging tool Updated modmaker doc to sync with latest tools Added CG visualizer to Ctrl-U dev tool Added support for RealRoad file reading in viewer
Auto-updater is not working just yet. Still says I have the latest version. I imagine this will take some time?
See the first post. It'll be there when he adds it, which he said would be tonight. I also added some more info to the first post. before the build notes. Hope everyone has a good weekend.
Kick the tires and light the fires. Here is hoping for higher frames! {Noticed nothing about the color palette was mentiond }
I'm told it is now on the auto updater, but I don't want to use my connection for anything other than seeding this torrent to re-download 107 and check myself. But if you were waiting for that... It should be there now.
Downloading the full build, and getting really slow speeds, at first it was great 1.1 MB / S, now 9.7 kb/s lol
