Game Stock Car Extreme V1.50 Release Notes

Reiza Studios are getting ready to release their Stock Car Extreme V1.50 update on Steam & GSC Sync.

The V1.50 GSCE update will include the first in-house compiled executables, removing all the external code injection DLLs from the previous releases. ,

Several features that were previously developed using injected code have now been rewritten into the codebase. Also, several new features, improvements, and bug fixes have been implemented in the same manner.

Because the new code brings some fundamental changes to the Stock Car Extreme install, Reiza Studios shared some important notes to make sure you do not encounter problems upon release of the update:

• You MUST create a fresh player profile (delete the old one from \USERDATA) otherwise the game won´t launch.
• After creating a fresh profile, make sure to double-check your driving aids & controller speed sensitivity to make sure they match what you had before.
• Since there are several new parameters for both cars and tracks, it is possible that some MODs will not work 100% and will need to be updated to use the new features (please consult this thread to learn you may update your mod).
• If you get a crash on startup, make sure you have installed the DX9.0C that comes with the game. (by running \Support\DirectX\Install\DXSETUP.exe)
• If you do the above and still crashes, try deleting d3d9.dll from the game´s root folder.
• GSC Config & Dedicated may not launch directly from Steam (needs to be done from game install folder).
• For the steering rotation feature – All Logitech & Thrustmaster wheels with adjustable rotation should be working with this feature. Fanatec wheels should too, except for the V2 wheelbase which is still in development.
• If you have any of the supported wheels, it is recommended you set Enable Custom Steer Rotation to NO from OPTIONS > CONTROLS, and let the game customize the appropriate rotation range for each car.
• In case you do not have a controller with adjustable rotation, OR if your steering wheel is not yet supported by this feature, you should set Enable Custom Steer Rotation to YES, and define how much rotation range you have in your controller in the setting below – the game should then work same as before (with any adjustment per car done manually both here & controller profiler) and STEER ROTATION SETTING in GARAGE1 menu will have no actual effect.
• Please note that in either case, using old controller presets is NOT recommended – we recommend you start one from scratch.

Further known issues with this version (to be fixed in the next release):

• DRS activation & tire compound selection are not stored in replays.
• No compound restriction per track in F-Extreme & F-Reiza.

Reiza Studios report that while conducting some final internal tests, the GSC Sync updater will be password-protected. The update tool will be opened up again upon release  of the update.
