iRacing Release 2020 Season 3 – Patch 6

iRacing recently deployed their sixth patch to the 2020 Season 3 update. It looks like a nice all-round list of fixes. You can see the changelog below:

iRACING UI: (04.09.03)

Current Series and Up Next

– In Table view, fixed an issue where hovering the mouse over a logo was displaying a flashing tooltip.

– In Table view, a tooltip has been added to the column header for Registration Closes.

– A tooltip has been added to Unranked Series to clarify that participation in these events does not count towards Minimum Participation Requirement (MPR).

AI Racing

– Fixed an issue where adding a new AI Driver to an existing AI Roster was resetting the AI Drivers’ car numbers to default sequential values.

Search and Filter

– Fixed an issue where several special characters ([ ] .) were causing an error when input into any Search field.

Spotting

– Fixed an issue where Spotting was failing instead of prompting the user to download and/or purchase any needed updates or content in order to join as a Spotter.

Clock

– Fixed an issue where the UI clock was sometimes using the local system clock instead of the iRacing Server clock.

SIMULATION:

Connection

– Fixed an issue that could cause a crash during session transition from Open Practice to Race.

Rendering

– Fixed an issue where SMP on GTX1000 series GPU’s often clipped out a pixel’s width of the image on the right edge of the middle and/or right monitors, creating one or two lines down the display where only sky would render. This was especially noticeable if running three-screen mode on a single monitor.

Car Paints

– Fixed an issue where custom specular maps were getting removed from a car after a new team driver swapped into the car.

Controllers

– Logitech keyboard backlight support has been disabled due to a bug in the latest GHUB software that causes a lockup of iRacing on exit.
– – We are working on a proper fix for this issue.

NASCAR Cup Series Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

– Drag has been increased slightly.

NASCAR Cup Series Ford Mustang

– Drag has been increased slightly.
