This will be worked on in the future, thank you for you understanding. Some players have also had difficulties configuring their wheels. This issue probably still remains unresolved. For the time being you can try validating your installation on Steam as this has helped some players.

Thank you all who have bought the game so far. Some reviews have come through and I'd like to address them. Main takeaways from the negative reviews so far: -Controls don't work or they are bad: this is being worked on right now. For the time being you can take a look into community discussions to see if other players have solved the same issues you are having. -Loading times are long: this is also being worked on. Part of this is because of the player influx loading the servers, making the database tracks loading times longer but there's also room for optimizations. -Bad performance: optimizations are constantly being worked on, expect this to improve in the near future. -Multiplayer experience is bad: again, being worked on. Multiplayer was tested a lot during the testing phase but it's having hard time keeping up with the amount of players currently. -AI is bad: this is a known issue and will be improved through the early access stage. Thank you all for the feedback, both good and bad. Expect things to get fixed in the near future.

The game has now released into early access. A lot of feedback has come through, most good but some of course bad. All feedback is appreciated so thank you for that. Seems that many of you are having issues with controllers. While I'm looking into the issues and working hard solving them, you might find solutions in the Discord server where others have faced similar issues. Some of the features, such as the track database and multiplayer are experiencing quite heavy loads from the player influx, they might be performing slower than usual. I'm looking into this issue as well. https://discord.gg/deRKaXCPxA Thank you for your patience. I also wanted to share the near future development roadmap here, so you can get an idea what the future holds. V0.2.8 <-- We are here now Fixing Issues that have come up during Early Access release Improving AI Optimizations Adding ability to upload custom car skins V0.2.9 Adding a new vehicle Improving sim racing aspects, such as adding configurable cockpit driver position and improving interior quality Adding daily and weekly challanges V0.3 Adding weather Adding replays Improving audio V0.3.1 Adding a new vehicle Adding mechanical failures and overall improving damage V0.3.2 Adding a new vehicle Adding new props

Steam Racing Fest has ended, many people tried the demo which is awesome! It's awesome to hear that many of you enjoyed it. But of course some constructive criticism was also received, which is also much appreciated. You have been heard and I'm confident that I can fix and improve the game to make it more enjoyable for the early access release. Early access release is coming in July, stay tuned for the date. Thank you!

Steam Next Fest is now over, thank you everyone who tried the demo! The demo provided a lot of feedback, many of you enjoyed it which is awesome to hear! But of course some constructive criticism was also received, which is also much appreciated. Main takeaways & things that you players seemed to struggle most with were: -Car handling -Long loading times (also causing crashing) -Bad performance in general -Usability issues I have already started to address these issues and I'm optimistic that I can get them sorted out before early access release. Thank you again and stay tuned!
