Dirt Rally has been updated to version 04.1 on Steam. After a small hiccup, this update brings a number of fixes and updates.
The Codemasters team has patched their rally sim, though things didn't exactly go as planned. Yesterday, in fact, the game received a 4GB update - sort of big for just a couple of bugfixes, ain't it? Turns out, the team accidentally pushed an in-development build that included part of the Germany update.
The update was not stable, and actually corrupted save data for the users who tried it (as the patch was not compatible with the old save file format). Luckily, though, Codemasters quickly pushed the correct update to Steam. The real patch is indeed smaller, weighing in at 1,6GB. Do NOT download the 4GB update, only the 1,6GB one is safe to download.
Here's the admittedly hilarious changelog, from the official Steam announcement page:
Changelog:
- Save Game Fix - Fixed an issue which prevented the game from saving mid event
- Achievement Fix – Hillclimb achievements now unlock correctly, these will award from now on but we will retroactively award the Going Up In The World achievement in a future pack
- Track Environment update – J.McG’s Invisible Towing Services have now removed the invisible Burger Van that sometimes rolled into the middle of the road on Pikes Peak and their permit has been revoked (they tasted like thin air anyway)
- Online Events – Daily challenges now feature the full fat fully upgraded versions of the cars.
- Audio Fix – Sent the co-driver on another recce of the Col De Turini and asked him to redo his notes
