Hi all,

Patch 1.11 was released at 3pm GMT today. Heres whats 1.11 contains:


Firstly, we know that the team mate bug is something thats affecting some of your careers, so weve had a look at how we can mitigate it for you. We know that this issue is particularly highlighted in the McLaren (because the Honda engine is down on power), so this patch updates McLarens overall performance, and changes the way your team mate at McLaren handles upgrades.


- McLaren performance update in order to negate the effects of the team-mate bug in Career mode.

- A frequent network crash

- Crash when entering Multiplayer having played Time Trial.

- Crash when re-entering Multiplayer after having disconnected via Ethernet.

- Crash when loading into a post-race career hub with a specific save game.


If any of the above dont work in the way they should, or you notice any issues, please let us know in the new discussion thread for 1.11!

Hey all,

Patch 1.10 is now out on PC. Below are the notes for this patch:

• Safety Car - Fixed the falling too far back system so it will no longer give penalties incorrectly.
  
• Safety Car - Lapped cars will no longer be able to overtake cars that have lapped them.
  
• Fixed a bug that meant players could be disqualified when someone behind them did a jump start and drove through them while ghosted.
  
• Increased the terminal damage threshold from ~7m/s to 15m/s. (The terminal damage threshold is the speed below which you cannot terminally damage your car).
  
• Fixed a minor graphical issue on the Ray Ban sponsor on the Ferrari.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the delta to stop working during a virtual safety car period.
  
• Fixed a bug that could cause cars to become desynchronised during multiplayer sessions.
  A red “disconnected” cross icon is now displayed next to the name of any player who has not sent network information recently to warn you that there is a connectivity issue.
