ZoomMit dem am Freitag veröffentlichten Build 598 machen die Entwickler von Project CARS für alle Tester ab dem Status Junior Member+ die beiden Sportwagen McLaren F1 und MP4-12C GT3 erstmals fahrbar.
Der Blick in das detaillierte Changelog der einzelnen in den letzten Tagen bereitgestellten Builds verrät außerdem, dass viele Detailverbesserungen vorgenommen wurden. Unter anderem im Multiplayerbereich, der Reifenphysik und Grafikdarstellung. Aber auch neue und zum Teil noch nicht freigeschaltete Änderungen wie die animierten Boxencrewmechaniker sind bereits in den Programmcode aufgenommen worden.
Build 598 (1/11/13, Junior Member+)
Render:
-Fix for render texture leak. Changed the code to only create the monitor rendertexture if the gui has one
-DX9: Skip mips corrected
-Fix for Broken DX11 build

GUI:
-Fix for the post-race-screen not functioning after a formation lap
-Removing HUD warnings from replays, again
-Failsafing the monitor, again
Multiplayer:
-Fixed bug in Steam leaderboard cache. Since Steam leaderboards provide no history, report all ranks as “same as before”
-Steam ghost storage wip, preparations for Steam Cloud integration: Changed ghost magic type from u32 to u64. This will allow us to use it to pass the Steam Cloud file handle around. Removed “use steam multiplayer” and “use steam leaderboard” flags from individual browse/create/join/submit/search structures, now the online layers query them on startup and use for all relevant ops

Online:
