iRacing: Zwei Hotfix-Updates fuer den 2024 Season 2 Patch 1

Gleich zwei Mal hat das iRacing-Entwicklerteam in dieser Woche seine Online-Rennsimulation aktualisiert. Mehr zu den Hintergr�nden und neuesten �nderungen von 2024 Season 2 Patch 1 Hotfix 1 und 2024 Season 2 Patch 1 Hotfix 2 gibt es hier.

iRacing: Zwei Hotfix-Updates fuer den 2024 Season 2 Patch 1 ZoomAm Montag und Mittwoch ist das iRacing-Entwicklerteam ausger�ckt, um f�r den 2024 Season 2 Patch 1 weitere Anpassungen und Fehlerkorrekturen durchzuf�hren. Mit dem Hotfix 1 und 2 adressiert man Probleme mit der neuen AntiCheat-Software und stellt zun�chst wieder auf die etablierte weniger Probleme bereitende urspr�nglich verwendete L�sung EasyAnti Cheat zur�ck, um in Ruhe die gemeldeten Schwierigkeiten analysieren und beheben zu k�nnen.

Dar�ber hinaus wurden Fehler bei der Grafik, einzelnen Fahrzeugen und Strecken behoben und weitere Anpassungen am iRacing-Wettersystem vorgenommen. W�hrend die Hotfix-Updates erste Besserung bringen, arbeitet man nach eigenen Angaben intensiv weiter daran mehrere andere Probleme h�chster Priorit�t zu beheben, sodass iRacer kurzfristig mit weiteren Aktualisierungen rechnen d�rfen.

AntiCheat Software
iRacing has received a significant number of reports related to issues with the newly implemented Epic Online Services (EOS) version of AntiCheat Software. While our team works through these issues with the developers at Epic, we will be rolling back the integration of EOS as our AntiCheat Software solution and restoring functionality for EasyAnti Cheat (EAC), our previous AntiCheat Software solution.
-- After this update, the iRacing software will conduct its checks through EAC instead of EOS, as before the 2024 Season 2 Release. Ultimately, this should have no adverse effect for both new and existing customers.
-- This service should already be running for existing customers and should install correctly for new customers. If you notice any AntiCheat Software issues after this update, please run the EasyAnti Cheat service executable packaged with iRacing (EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe).
-- If you continue to have AntiCheat Software issues, please contact Customer Service and let us know!
-- We intend to switch back to EOS as our AntiCheat Software provider only after we are satisfied we have resolved all outstanding issues with internal testing.

Connectivity
-As part of the AntiCheat Software roll-back, the issue where some users were unable to join any online Sessions, and only able to launch Test Drive and AI Solo-Sessions, should be fixed.
-As part of the AntiCheat Software roll-back, the issue where some users could not launch Time Trial Sessions or Time Attack Sessions should be fixed.

Race Servers
-Some processing has been adjusted to reduce the Race Server loads during times of high CPU stress.

iRacing Weather System
The method of updating off-track surface water values has been updated.
-- This change should alleviate some of the excessively slippy areas.
-Asphalt surfaces that are off the actual track are now considered unpolished asphalt surfaces.
-Improved the processing method of the Race Server for rainy Sessions.

Graphics
-Fixed an issue that could occur if the iRacing window was resized while quarter-resolution particles were present in the world.
-Fixed an issue where the Simulation would crash immediately for the first time after the Graphics Auto Configuration tool was run.

Virtual Reality
-As part of the AntiCheat Software roll-back, the issue where many VR users were getting stuck at loading between 5% and 13% (where the SIM would quit unexpectedly) should be fixed.
