Studio 397 has deployed the latest Release Candidate for rFactor 2 introducing fixes and improvements for the all-new online experience Open Beta program that features daily races, special events, and more.

Check out the Release notes below.

Changelog:

Event Page

The Race Flyout and Event pages will receive notifications again once your split is ready and when other users register/unregister for the event
You shouldn’t have to leave and reenter the event page anymore to get your split information, the page will update once your splits server is up and running
Special Event Pages will show you the event start time when it is more than 1 day away

Practice Servers

Your practice server information is loaded when you click on Join Practice instead of as soon as the page/flyout is loaded.
If you waited before clicking Join Practice then the server might have been full by the time you clicked on join
Backend bugs fixes so you will not be returned a full practice servers details or servers that have not fully booted yet

Profile

Your email is now obscured, so if you are streaming your email will not be displayed
The top bar will periodically check for updates to your profile and update itself
Backend update incoming (hopefully today) to resolve the issue with updating your email address

Post Race

The SR and DR should show correctly on the post-race screens
Split Number added to the Post Race screen

Leaderboard

Added paging, so you can see more than just the top 100 fastest times

Tier Unlocked Notification

This should be displaying again once you get to Silver/Gold SR and you unlock new tiers in Daily Races

Race History

Fixed a loading issues where some drivers did not have a DR/SR registered in the post-race results

Current Known Issues

Having your Windows timezone set to manual instead of “auto” can result in the times for events being incorrect and not being able to join events.
We are sometimes still hitting our AWS account limits this is resulting in fewer servers being provisioned than we need and causing the whole event to fail. We have a support ticket and are waiting.
Joining, then leaving, and then rejoining again practice server again may give you mod problems – you will need to remove mods and try again
Practice servers are becoming too full too quickly and may give a timeout error
- Please be patient and try again in a few minutes or practice offline
Bottom split has the minimum drivers to make the race official (currently 5 rather than equal-size splits)
The schedule page does have incorrect times for some users
Some users are unable to submit reports – NOTE – THESE SHOULDN’T BE USED FOR RACING INCIDENTS – WE ARE REVIEWING THIS FLOW
Leaderboard has a bug that does not consider the specific track layout or car when it has the same name as a previous event
Password on hosted server is not working
Not all temporary mod files being deleted on boot – you may need to remove these manually
Qualifying results are in the order of race finish
Profile/Email update is not saving – fix coming soon
Some circuits, such as Nürburgring may have the server start a few minutes later than expected – you may need to wait up to 4 minutes after a server is due to be started
Some servers under extreme load, for example, most often at the start of sessions, can experience cars disappearing and the race taking a long time to load in rare cases
