- Overall volume balance
- 7.1 surround should now work as expected (on all platforms)
- Fixed audio initialization pop when the session starts
- Stereo imaging now works as expected

- Reworked surfaces audio curves
- Reworked skids logic

Thank you! Very nice list.
One thing made me smile:

Anti-Wrecker protection

Everybody who takes actions against a wrecker now should be prepared for the consequences

Wonder what this feature would do.

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

Stefano said that it is a system that hands out penalties based on an incidents to kilometers driven ratio, that is user defined. Example: x number of collisions in less than x number of kilometers will first result in a warning, then a penalty to pit road for a second violation and then server kick/ban on the third violation.
Look forward to seeing the actual parameters in the server launcher since I would prefer to simply skip the warning phase.

 

[JoelGL]

Cool! When's the patches release?

 

[Kenny Paton]

Cool! When's the patches release?

Think it's normally about 18:00 GMT.

So a simple bump automatically results in a server ban? What happened to "rubbin's racin'"??

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

Here, for some reason I will waste my time and try to dumb it down for you:
I think that if you get 5 collisions within 1 kilometer you should be warped to pit road and held there for a while rather than simply getting a warning.
And guess what, this isn't Nascar, 99% of the 'rubbing' that happens in MP is not 'racing'.

Yes they did. But holy **** the new sounds are good.

And holy **** the GT4CS is good. Too good. I knew it would be good but I didn't know good went this far. Holy hell.
