1.8 Update

Max

GENERAL:

  • Updated project to Unreal Engine version 4.26.2.
  • Added Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe 2021 season as bonus content with all entries, liveries and drivers and championship season.
    NOTE: certain entries are subject to DLC ownership.
  • Added all-new BMW M4 GT3 as bonus content as part of the 2021 season.
    NOTE: as with any major update, game menu settings (stored in menuSettings.json) will likely reset on first initialization.
    IMPORTANT: reloading of Video presets will be necessary.
    IMPORTANT: it is strongly suggested that custom engine.ini modifications and other third-party plugins (graphics or controllers) be removed before installing the update.

GRAPHICS:

  • Added Nvidia Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) 2.0 support for compatible GPUs (RTX 20XX series or newer).
    Please check manufacturer GPU driver requirements.
  • Added AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) support for all GPUs.
    Please check manufacturer GPU driver requirements.
    NOTE: both DLSS and FSR are selectable and functional in Triple Screen and VR rendering modes.
    NOTE: DLSS is a temporal sampling method with a proprietary antialiasing solution, while FSR is a spatial upscaling method that can be used in combination with other Temporal AA solutions.
    NOTE: please read the ingame help texts in the Video Options to learn more about the functionality of each method’s respective sampling, antialiasing and sharpening solutions.
    NOTE: DLSS implementation includes a custom DLSS dll version by Nvidia, manually updating to generic version releases might result in regression of image quality.
  • Added Temporal Antialising Gen5 option support.
    Offers improved aliasing and clarity at a moderate performance cost. Optional over the existing TAAgen4 and KTAA implementations.
    NOTE: only functional with Temporal anti-aliasing mode selected.
    NOTE: FSR is incompatible with the Projection Correction view setting feature.
    NOTE: it is STRONGLY suggested to remove other open-source or third-party implementations of any of the features above (such as via OpenVR etc.)!
    NOTE: due to the large number of changes in rendering, it is STRONGLY suggested that custom engine.ini or third-party shader modifications be removed for this update!
  • Added the new rendering mode settings to save with Video Settings presets.
  • Fixed a limitation with Triple Screen rendering that did not allow Temporal Upsampling to be used in combination with it.
  • Updated global lighting and exposure on all tracks to follow Unreal Engine version changes.
  • Updated visual tonemapper presets to follow Unreal Engine version changes.
    NOTE: the updated tonemapper settings might produce slightly more saturation and contrast than in earlier versions, adjust per taste.
