Dirt Rally Patch V0.71 coming this week.

During the coming week, Codemasters will deploy Patch v.0.71 for their already popular DiRT Rally Steam Early Access version.

This weekend the development team and the PvP testers are performing the some final test sessions to make sure the new update is ready to go live. The patch introduces the usual  optimisations and fixes but will also add some extra functionality.

The Dirt Rally development team also continued the work on the Finland update and are trying to get mouse support working in the Dirt Rally menus. The much-requested mouse functionality should be ready by the time the next big Dirt Rally update gets released.

On a side note, community manager Lee Williams has left Codemasters. Good luck in your future endeavors Lee.
