Patch Notes – Version 1.5.0.1

 

Online & Multiplayer

• Added a new warning message when the game client is outdated and cannot play online.

• Fixed a missing callback that caused version-mismatch connection failures.

• Fixed an issue where selecting a lobby on a different backend prevented selecting other lobbies - lobby details are now fetched only when attempting to join.

• Fixed a Lua error caused by incorrect parameter order during failed Social Event matchmaking.

• Fixed an issue where players could fail to sign in due to legacy avatar data.

• Improved shutdown handling of audio graphs when network users disconnect.

• Improved server performance.

• Fixed a crash caused by processing the lobby list twice.

• Fixed missing text in the player reporting dialog.

• Fixed a crash when finishing a Social Race.

 

Stability & Systems

• Added protection in audio code to prevent rare invalid value (“NaN”) errors.

• Addressed fast-math divergence between platforms to improve simulation consistency.

• Fixed incorrect vehicles showing up in License Test after starting an Endurance race.

• Added additional null-pointer protection and increased memory headroom for True-Track presets to resolve rare crashes.

• Fixed a memory leak in True2Track preset handling.

• Improved code logic to prevent unexplained crashes during audio and gameplay operations.

 

Gameplay

• 1st infringement penalty warning added based on feedback.

• Disabled frame-rate limiter during replays.

• Tyre Warmer setting now defaults ON in new profiles.

• Fixed an issue where certain vehicle setup values were not applied to physics when loading setups.

• Removed debug Page Up/Page Down camera-cycle keys.

• Reduced skid-audio sensitivity on dry tyres for clearer feedback during understeer.

• Improved pit-exit behaviour - overlapping exit lines no longer allow unsafe merges.

 

First-Time User Experience (FTUE)

• Fixed soft-lock and backspace issues during calibration.

• Updated FTUE assist presets to better values.

 

Driver AI

• Improved AI lateral awareness to combat AI driver blind spots.

• Improved AI driver engine stall restart logic.

• Camaro ZL-1 GT4 - Adjusted brake-light physical position.

• Corvette C5R, Mercedes CLK-LM, Toyota Supra GT4 - Added missing window-banner shadow meshes.

 

LMDh

• Enhanced traction-control behaviour at low speeds.

• Iterated on cold-tyre falloff and steering-rack speed.

• Aston Martin Valkyrie: applied new performance data as part of pad-driving fixes.

• Additional manual adjustments applied to support improved drivability based on player feedback.

 

GT Classes

GT3

• Altered grip falloff at slip for more consistent handling.

• Standardised steering, tie-rod, and damping stiffness for a tighter, more unified feel.

• Updated tyre adhesive falloff across all compounds.

• Added slight cold-temperature falloff to balance increased grip.

• Improved default setups to all GT3 cars based on player feedback.

• Handling revision:

  • Adjusted decel torque and engine inertia.

  • Updated throttle-blip behaviour.

  • Cars now roll more naturally into corners, (note: may require brake-bias adjustments).

GT4

• Adjusted adhesive grip falloff across all compounds to align with GT3 improvements.

• Improved default setups to all GT4 cars based on player feedback.

 

Cup & Other Classes

• Porsche 992 Cup - Improved default setups based on player feedback.

 

Tracks

Nurburgring Nordschleife

• Reduced brightness and opacity of ground and wall graffiti.

Other Tracks

• Zolder - Reopened garages that were unintentionally closed.

• Nürburg GP - Restored missing dressing for Sprint layout; added dressing across all variants.

 

Audio
