    VR is apparently one of the features omitted from what will be released on Feb 20th.:(
    I really hope it's implemented asap as VR is pretty well my only option at the moment.

    I was thinking about VR, but I'm a bit worried about a light source being so close to your eyes for long periods.
    Do you experience any eyes discomfort from using VR for like an hour or so?

    Nope. You can turn down the brightness but it does weird things to the colours. I can sometimes get a little eyestrain if the game isn't displaying or running well though. Too many "jaggies".

    It never feels like you are staring into a lightsource. It does get a little sweaty in there though :D

    Who said that? Is there somebody there? :)

    I don't feel any discomfort, even if using the headset for 4 (or more) hours at a time.
    I don't recall ever reading that the closeness of the lenses was an issue.
    From what I remember, 'motion sickness' is usually cited as the main cause of discomfort. I did experience, what I guess was motion sickness, once or twice at the beginning. It was very mild, only lasted for a moment and only happened at circuits with noticeable elevation changes - like Portimao or Toad Circuit. It can be a big factor for some people though - luck of the draw I guess.
    If you do get a headset, just acclimatise by starting with short sessions to begin with.
    Sim racing is the perfect scenario for VR - it really is a game changer. The immersion is literally stunning - you're no longer looking at a small flat screen but are instead 'inside' a life-size car, looking at other life-size cars, buildings and trees . . as you smash head first into a life-size wall :eek: Everything is bigger . . . including the fear factor :D
    One possible downside - it might make you slower :( Some people do argue that VR hinders their lap times (and I know for a fact that without VR I'd be an absolute 'Alien' :D:rolleyes::D)

    I woke up this morning feeling dirty and ashamed of what I did last night. I'd almost convinced myself that it hadn't happened. That it was all a bad dream. But I knew, deep down, in the darkest recesses of my now tainted soul, I knew what I had done.
    I tried to forget it, but when I found the email from PayPal, it was like a dagger to my heart. There was no way to deny it. Receipt for your payment to www.steampowered.com was all I needed to read for the whole horrid affair to come flooding back. £14.99 was all it said. It didn't mention any names. It didn't need to. I'd sold my soul for £14.99 - yes, I admit it, but I'm not proud of it; I'd bought F1 23. Don't judge me. It could have happened to anyone.
    Sorry to hijack your thread Ken, but I felt I should warn others of the danger. Don't do it. You know you'll regret it. I might be lost, but there's still time to save yourself. Stay away from Steam until after February 13th. Don't, I repeat do not, spend your money on this imposter, this satans software that you know you'll never use. It will bring you no joy, no happiness. Stay virtuous and steadfast until February 20th, when you can then fill your heart with love and contentment from the saints of Studio 397.

    Dang you Gilles. It's like a car wreck. I just can't look away now. The temptation has gotten ahold off me. Off to Steam I go. Thanks Gilles. Btw, my ex said I was easy.

    Le Mans Ultimate. So much fun. They even added what was so unforgettable from rf2, CTD. Other than that, I think things are going to be ironed out. Can't wait to race with it here at SRO. Sweet.

    Some known issues have been posted :D
    • Occasionally some anti-virus protection needs to allow the game executable to be excluded. For our guide on this for Windows Defender, please visit here
    • A VR headset, plugged in but not in use can cause severe graphical issues throughout the game UI and on track. This may also be caused by other devices but not known at this time.
    • After finishing an online practice server, joining the next race very frequently causes a crash to desktop due to the content in memory not resetting between events - this can be prevented by reloading the game before joining
    • After finishing an online practice server, joining the next race very frequently causes a crash to desktop due to the content in memory not resetting between events
    • Triple screen support does not yet include fine tuning
    • Note: a user can modify these in config_dx11.ini until an improved solution is in place
    • IMPORTANT - MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner Statistics (and possibly similar programs) have been reported to cause performance issues. We would recommend to disable these for now whilst investigations take place.


    UI

    General

    • Windows 11 users may experience slow UI performance due to threading issues on this OS - please enable v-sync if you experience this
    • Page transitions may experience a slow-down during animations for some users
    • Some imperial measurements are not equivalent to metric across the game
    • Some text clips on lower resolution settings

    This game is addicting!
    If you have the horsepower to run it, it's amazing ... bugs are being squashed at a steady pace.
    I must be lucky as I have had only 1 ctd on day 1 and a few practice servers not loading (due to being full)
