Now we’ve moved back into a new year of sim racing, updates are starting to be released by developers, including Sector3 Studios. So RaceRoom Update 0.9.2.17 is now available with a range of tweaks and improvements for a number of cars and tracks.
There’s also a reminder that the big December patch included a lower tolerance for breaking the pit lane speed limits, which some sim racers are still being caught out by.
RaceRoom Update 0.9.2.17 Change Notes:
- Missed from December patch notes: After an exploit had been found with pit lane speed limit tolerances (where players would be seen in the pit lane without the limiter on to gain a small advantage by going slightly above the limit), that tolerance was reduced. This has caused some reports of harsher pit speed penalties, which have felt unfair at times. While we look into improving on those cases, players can seek to adapt and adjust their techniques: be careful to enter the pitlane under the limit and make sure not to turn off the limiter too soon when leaving the pitlane. While driving down a slope, avoid giving your engine too much torque as it will be more likely to cause your car to speed above the limit. (using 1st gear with full throttle is more likely to make you bounce above the limit)

- Fixed a case where certain replay files could fail to load
