    Hi folks,

    Firstly, thank you for helping us to test rF2.

    Second, we're putting out an update today, build 60, don't rename it (it has a funny name) or it won't work.

    Automatic updating will NOT be available for a few days. You'll need to download the exe to your rF2 data directory, and put it in the updates dir, for me this is located at: C:\Users\Tim\Documents\rFactor2\Updates - After placing it there, run the launcher, go to the update tab and click the one grey button available to you. It should detect the update. Click it again to run the installer.

    I have posted a changelog here.

    Again, rF2 is a test version and will remain so after this update. With this in-mind I have reset all the bug report forums as a blank canvas for you to post reports about this build ONLY. If something is still a problem from build 49, please link to a build 49 post in the archive, but make a new post about it in the fresh bug report forums.

    There will also be some content (rfmods) coming, but I've not yet confirmed when.

    Here is the update TORRENT: View attachment rF2Up_B49-B60_Not_50.exe.torrent
    We haven't done much seeding yet, so would appreciate your help there.

    Thanks,

    Tim.

    Those with SLI configs, let me know how this works out for you. There are still a few tweaks that can be made but mostly for >2 card configs.

    Initial impressions - framerate has improved but everything still looks like it's suffering from a severe case of #FFFFFF white at midday.

    Could anyone elaborate on the different vSync settings? What are the differences?

    build 60: avarege 50-70fps

    Still not perfect but good step forward :)

    Okay, fully tested - the shaders are still not visually great and HDR creates some noticeable contrast issues but it's getting there in terms of performance at least.

    If that's true feels3 it would be an amazing performance boost. :D
    I'm still downloading the update, but if the update will introduce a gain of fps of more than 50%, it definitely would be a huge step forward.

    3 minutes to go. :)

    Any chance you can give those of us with this setup a little clue as to what these extra tweaks are ahead of time so we can play with it over the weekend?

    I've pretty much been waiting for the SLI/Multi-Monitor fix so I can test without chaning config every time I wanna' test.

    Thanks!
