PLEASE TEST BEFORE YOU POST
Hello Racers,
Here is a new test patch: 0.6U13
The changes are listed below.
0.6U13 is compatible with 0.6U
- You CAN connect online with 0.6U
- You CAN play replays from 0.6U
Please back up or rename your LFS.exe from version U so you can revert to it if necessary.
Changes from 0.6U12 to 0.6U13:
Multiplayer:
Reduced steering glitch each time a position packet is received
- this requires the sender and receiver to have the new version
Position packets are sent more frequently in response to steering
- packet frequency is further increased at higher speeds
- this requires only the sender to have the new version
Maximum packets per second (/pps) has been increased to 12
- this doesn't change much except in specific circumstances
- FIX: /pps command while in multiplayer was not sent to guests
- this requires only the server to have the new version
Changes from 0.6U11 to 0.6U12:
Skin downloads:
Faster skin downloads when joining server (and auto updater)
Slightly faster skin downloads when driver joins race in-game
FIX: Skin downloading could get stuck after a large header
Interface:
Pit speed limit is shown when car speed is below 2/3 of limit
Command /spectv no - prevent selecting TV camera on spectate
Momentary flick to rear view after SHIFT+R is now avoided
Avoided downshift after pressing SHIFT+X to exit free view
In fact any 'key held' function after SHIFT+key is prevented
Some updated translations - thank you translators!
Changes from 0.6U to 0.6U11:
Graphics:
Car shadows now use anisotropic filtering to reduce shimmering
Views:
Horizon lock now has a strength slider option
View filter time maximum value increased to 1 second
FIX: Filtered view went wrong with low filter time + replay speedup
VR:
Updated OpenVR to version 1.10.30
Improved timing of obtaining view each frame
New "Antialiasing" option to select 4x or 8x multisampling
New "Resolution adjustment" slider (also known as supersampling)
Names over cars could fade differently in each eye in Pimax headset
FIX: Head tracking / mirrors wrong if car leaned with horizon lock
FIX: Free view FOV was wrong after entering VR in free view
FIX: Names above cars looked wrong in Pimax headsets
FIX: Some trees looked wrong in Pimax headsets
Controls:
Gearshift debounce setting now applies to all controller buttons
FIX: Rare manual shift at high speed to 1st/rev during auto shift
Force Feedback:
New settings are available under Axes / FF in Options - Controls
FF Steps maximum value is now 10000 (the maximum in DirectInput)
FF Rate is now controlled by a user setting (25 / 50 / 100 Hz)
LAN:
Easier to set up LAN race: local IP address is shown on host screen
You can enter the local network computer name instead of IP address
Interface:
LFS now assumes 3 screens when aspect ratio is 4:1 (was 3:1)
Yellow and blue flags now alternate with RCM or penalty message
More telemetry data for OutSim:
Enable by setting the OutSim Opts value in cfg.txt
All data options can be switched on with the value ff
The new data is documented in a header file OutSimPack.h
Misc:
When LFS is set to close the reason is logged to deb.log file
CAR.lfs scripts are reliably run when user car is spawned or reset
FIX: Memory leak related to threads (most often for skin download)
FIX: Replays from old Westhill before 2015 now marked as obsolete
FIX: Stop-go penalty caused car to get stuck in custom pit stop
FIX: Driver names ending with a lead byte could corrupt text
FIX: Issues with driver names ending with caret character
INSTALLATION:
A FULL version of LFS 0.6U must already be installed
To install the PATCH using the SELF EXTRACTING ARCHIVE:
1) Move or save the patch into your main LFS folder
2) Double click the patch to extract it to that folder
3) When you see "Confirm File Replace" select "Yes to All"
4) Now you can start LFS in the normal way
NOTE: You can see if the patch is correctly installed when you run
the program (LFS.exe). At the bottom of the entry screen: 0.6U13
