DiRT Rally 2.0 fans have something new to enjoy the next time they start the game - build 1.10 is here and packed full of (yet to be released) content.
The new build of DiRT Rally 2.0 dropped yesterday on both console and PC versions of the game, and as usual, the update contains a number of larger and smaller fixes for the rally simulation as well as loading up the title with new content - each item of which is set to be made available in the game over the course of the next few weeks.
Firstly the build update itself. In 1.10 Codemasters have looked to bring some improvements to the core game experience, including some much appreciated attention to the VR optimisation of the title, and the list of changes look pretty solid it has to be said.
Headline improvements include the aforementioned VR optimisations - which should bring a healthy performance improvement for players of the Steam version of the title, plus it is worth noting some of the optimisations and improvements that have been made to the broadcasting portion of the game - something that will doubtless prove to be useful for those looking to stream their rallying adventures to a wider audience.
Regards to content, we already have the new Golf and 206 to enjoy, however the game now has several pieces of upcoming content loaded into the core code - ready and waiting for those who wish to purchase (or already own one of the various special editions / season pass packages). Included in these locked pieces of content is the much anticipated Finland rally, one of the all time classic events and a redevelopment of the previous incarnation from DiRT Rally (arguments about the logic of this DLC strategy can commence later...).
In terms of the more minor but nevertheless welcome improvements, Codies have made a fresh pass on plenty of the car and stage content, adding some minor fixes and updates where required - details of which can be seen in the full change log notes below.
