Whenever a big software update is downloaded by thousands of sim racers, there are bound to be some issues. So a quick response is often needed, and that’s what we’ve seen with iRacing 2022 Season 3 Hotfix 1 released within around 24 hours of the latest build.
The biggest problem was that one driver losing their connection between the green flag and start line on a rolling start would crash the entire race server. That’s a pretty big issue, and one which is covered with the hotfix, along with a problem with anyone using AMD FidelityFXSuper Resolution while Multi-View-Projection is enabled.
There is also a fix for NASCAR Next Gen Cars failing inspection without any warning due to the left-rear ride height. And more amusingly, the windscreen on the Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO disappeared after the season update, but should now have returned.
Thankfully with builds released at the start of the Week 13 schedule of fun races, very few official series are taking place, so it’s a good time to find and fix any major bugs before things get serious again.
