When you release a major update to any sim racing title, it’s going to need some follow-ups as your code gets implemented by thousands of different drivers, each with their own computer and race set-up. And that’s the case with two new RaceRoom hotfixes released by Sector 3 Studios within a week of the June 2021 revision of force feedback and lots more.
It’s surprising how small the the changelogs are, if anything. Besides some initial issues with specific wheelbases reporting no force feedback, everything else is pretty much tweaking areas including menus, typos in language translations, and making it more likely that you’ll see AI cars produce sparks when they come into contact with the tarmac and kerbs.
