Le Mans Ultimate – Update 3, Hotfix 1 And Known Issiues

Motorsport Games and Studio 397 have deployed Update 3, Hotfix 1 for Le Mans Ultimate, the official game of the FIA World Endurance Championship and 24 Hours of Le Mans.

This small update resolves various issues that where initiated with the recent Update 3 release.

Changelog:

• Fix for various AMD specific reported crashes
• Fix for error not allowing user to enter their profile

Known Issiues (10/12/2024):

Broadcast overlay:

• FCY is displaying as “Code 80”
• NRG bar is displayed backwards on Driver Overlay
• Sometimes tyres are incorrectly displayed
• The vignette behind the overlay needs to be extended to the whole left side of the page
• Social media prompt occasionally is triggered and is unstyled

Hosted Servers:

• Hosted Servers currently do not offer Full Rolling Lap start

December content:

• Interlagos saturated RealRoad does not load correctly, all other RealRoad settings work okay

Very Important & General:

• At the start of a session online other cars will show as having wet tyres when they do not.
• When running the game in “Full Screen” the game will sometimes show an “Error Setting Video Mode”
• Keyboard input sometimes stops working during loading
• The UI will sometimes not disappear when pressing drive. Simply hit escape twice in this situation.
• During heavy rain rain drops can be sometimes seen inside the car, this is especially more obvious in VR.
• McLaren GT3 brake lights sometimes can not be seen when viewed from other car cockpits.
• “Failed to allocate a section of memory” – Windows page file being too small can cause memory usage issue particularly for users with less RAM. Please see Common Fixes
• Note: Le Mans Ultimate is only supported on Windows machines that meet the minimum requirements. Mac, Linux and Steamdeck are unsupported

UI:

• Online
  • Online is greyed out, this could be either:
    • You need to make an online account and/or accept the terms and competition rules – click on profile to change this
    • Your Steam authentication has expired – try restarting the Steam application (make sure you exit Steam in the system tray, not just close the window)
• Localisations
  • Translations may result in odd text placements or clipping in the UI
  • Some phrases when translated may need further review
  • Some words or phrases may be missing translations

On-track:

• Ultra settings are performance heavy and may result in less than desirable frame-rate
• Low grip on track – check your “Real Road” is set to have some rubber (advanced session settings). There are no tyre warmers in WEC (expect Le Mans). It’s also worth checking the road temperatures as these are separate to ambient

Vehicles:

General

• BoP is not final and will be iterated on in future with further, per track, applications
• The highest in-car traction control settings can significantly affect top-speed

Input Devices:

• Certain Thrustmaster devices can disconnect after multiple sessions (TMX, T818, T248, T150, T300RS) – advice is to completely re-install Thrustmaster software and firmware
• Controllers are not able to navigate through menus, including the pause screen
• Controller users are likely to experience higher tyre degradation
• To adjust controller vibration, you need to adjust “Force Feedback”
• Some manufacturer SDKs may need to be updated by their development team to be compatible with displays or LEDs
• Some controllers may not have profiles, please report these. Users can, in the meantime, assign controls themselves
• Fanatec GT DD Pro – Assigning “Brake migration Forward” and “Brake Bias Forward” to any button on the wheel will cause the setting to be repeatedly pressed
• Logitech users who have their wheel stuck to one side should enable “constant steering force” in the settings

Online:

• Profile
  • Users cannot change their name more than once in a 3 month period but no warning is shown
  • If there is more than one user with the same name, the subsequent users are given a # with four random digits (e.g. Joe Bloggs#1234)
  • Race Results
    • Disqualified users display as DNF in race results
• On-track
  • In practice and qualifying sessions, if a user joins after you they will be displayed in a temporary car. This is currently a Porsche 911 GTE regardless of category. Returning to the pitlane, then going into the setup menu should resolve this. Alternatively, a user may map a button to “load vehicles” to reload the skins. Important note: please do not do this whilst driving as it may cause a screen freeze

Co-op:

• Average lap time statistic is not always working
• Some of the AI drivers will run out of fuel one lap after a handover
• Score updates are not being displayed after receiving a handover
• During the Fuji event, AI will sometimes pit on the final lap
• During a pitstop, the stint review menu displays your drive time as 0h 0m
• Team creator can still reassign drivers through the drop-down menu after using the swap driver button
• Handing a session back to the host after they have closed the session restores it

VR:

• Motion Blur is disabled completely in VR
• When loading replays from the main menu in VR, the replay will only show on the VR mirror.
