Live for Speed: Testpatch 0.6B8 mit vielen Bugfixes aber ohne neue Spielinhalte

F�r die PC-Rennsimulation Live for Speed ist ein neuer Testpatch verf�gbar der zwar keine neuen Spielinhalte zu bieten hat, daf�r aber viele Fehler ausbessert.

Live for Speed: Testpatch 0.6B8 mit vielen Bugfixes aber ohne neue Spielinhalte ZoomLive for Speed-Spieler k�nnen f�r die Version S2 0.6B jetzt einen neuen Testpatch herunterladen. Die Aktualisierung auf die Version 0.6B8 bringt zwar weder den VW Scirocco noch andere inhaltliche Erweiterungen im Bereich der Fahrzeuge und Strecken mit sich, enth�lt daf�r aber einige Verbesserungen.

Unter anderem ist dem Changelog zu entnehmen, dass man den Multiplayerbereich optimiert hat und verschiedene Fehler beseitigt wurden. Da es sich um einen Testpatch handelt, raten die Entwickler dringend dazu vor dem Update eine Sicherheitskopie der Datei LfS.exe V 0.6B zu erstellen.
