RaceRoom Racing Experience: Mega-Update fÃ�Â¼r die Open Beta auf V0.2.3.2769 ZoomDie SimBin Studios haben f�r ihr Free2-Race-Rennspiel RaceRoom Racing Experience in der Nacht von Mittwoch zu Donnerstag ein mit 6,4 GB auf Grund seiner Gr��e schon als �u�erst umfangreich zu bezeichnendes Update via Steam ver�ffentlicht.

Dementsprechend lang f�llt auch die �bersicht zu den �nderungen die mit der neuen Open Beta-Version 0.2.3.2769 einhergehen aus. Vom Programmcode �ber die Render-Engine, Physik, AI, Soundausgabe und das eigene Portal und den In-game-Browser sind gleich dutzendweise beseitigte Fehler und �berarbeitungen verzeichnet die allesamt dem Ziel dienen die Spielbarkeit zu verbessern.

Neue Spielfeatures oder Erg�nzungen bei den Wagen und Strecken bringt das Update jedoch nicht, sodass hierauf wartende R3E-Spieler f�r den Moment auf kommende Versionen hoffen m�ssen.
