Heti Project CARS frissítések

Természetesen a Slightly Mad Studiosnál sem állt meg az élet és a srácok az MMO mellett a Project CARS-ra is a megszokott figyelmet fordítják. Ennek köszönhetően a héten is számtalan frissítés és újdonság érkezett a játékhoz, amelyeket most igyekeztem nektek csokorba szedni.
Az újdonságok listáját angol nyelven lentebb olvashatjátok, míg a frissítést a Steam rendszerén keresztül ejthetitek meg.

Build 663 (14/02/14, Team Member+) – 348.4 MB

* Added better fps reporting on PS4
* Moved reflection code again to a better position. Enabled threading for it on PS4
* XB1 DebugMenu fix some debug only D3D11 asserts
Render:

* Scoring news now displays names of drivers finishing 1st/2nd/3rd in a session, and the winner’s rank in the overall standings.
* Scoretable generation extended so it can get scoring for a single session, as well as totals
* Career news ticker now displaying short versions of the news messages. Added applink for it and made headlines type-specific
* Finishing position now passed down from Timings to the per-session info, and moved all per-session info into a new profile struct to make them simpler to process. Got news displaying driver names, positions and lap times, and the appropriate image for the timed session types. Historical standings from when the news was generated are now used rather than the current standings (so news doesn’t change).
* Fixed a bug with resetting when switching series. (NOTE: Career progress has been reset to avoid invalid session information producing bug reports)
* Standings screen fix: Instead of having 10 racers in first place when no points are scored on the standings screen, we have 10 races in „-” place as ranking does not apply until points are on the board.
Physics:
* Traction control slip fix
* RUF RGT8: Tweak to engine behavior when bump starting the car.

Fixed a bug that could cause portions of a series to be locked incorrectly, and an issue with the new series detection when skipping.
Physics:
