Dakar Desert Rally v1.5 Removes Top-8 Requirement, Improves Navigator And Wheel Angle Detection

Saber Porto have today released v1.5 of their Dakar Desert Rally title, and launched the title for the first time in the Epic Store.

This update should fix some of the users still having controller issues, fix the navigator appearing ‘late’ on giving instructions and implements DLSS 3, among other fixes and tweaks. You can read my review of the title here (note that I didn’t have any controller issues).

Changes:

– Implemented Steering Wheel Angle detection
– Improve Navigator speed and accuracy
– Implemented crossplay between Steam and Epic Games Store
– Implemented DLSS 3
– Removed the “Top 8” rule from the Professional and Simulation game modes
– 14 new Sport and Professional events (35 New Stages), using the DLC “Saudi Arabia Extended Map” map
