Reiza Studios have today released a small hotfix update to Automobilista.

The small hotfix, made available automatically via Steam, adds a number of fixes and improvements to Automobilista following the recent build 1.3.0 release deployed back on the 27th February.

Noteworthy changes to the game include some further enhancements to the AI files in respect of the new Adelaide street circuit, amendments to engine wear parameters on some cars that caused issues in previous builds and some solid work on global AI enhancements for a number of cars within the game.

The hotfix update has come today as something of a welcomed surprise from Reiza and will be automatically downloaded next time the user starts their Steam client.

For those of you who have not yet purchased the Adelaide DLC pack containing three layouts of the classic Australian street track (modern, 1988 and SuperTruck variants), you can purchase the pack for US$ 5.99. For a limited amount of time you may still purchase the Membership upgrade which includes the Season Pass with the old pricing of US$ 29.99 from the forum store, and that will also grant you Reiza 51 access.
