New Release Candidate which includes driver labels

[davehenrie]

S397 has released a new version of their release candidate that contains some graphic tweeks and driver labels. Not a HUGE update, but something that has been on the the wanted list for quite some time.

1st reports say they work for the flat screens but VR users may not see them.

I thought they were to have given us quicker loading recently. It takes 3 minutes to load into Le Mans with a single GT3 car on a system with an i9900k, 32 GB ram, a GTX 3080Ti and a dedicated rF2 SSD. WTF?

I get 3 mins for Lemans as well.
They said a dozen times they improved load times but I can't see it.
Belgium Italy '60 used to boot in 10-15 seconds now take longer.
Spa Silverstone Virginia take me 40 seconds.
Other thing changed is no improvement loading it for a 2nd time.
Nords and Lemans I just make tea or do some menial task for 3 minutes.

This and all other bugs I work around the best you can
With all that I still rather lap this

edit: As well old UI is
1st load of Lemans 2 minutes
2nd load 35 seconds

1st load Belgium 20 seconds
2nd load 10 seconds

old UI the 2nd load time is faster
new UI 2nd load time is the same

OLD UI - Lemans 2020 with 44 AI LMP-GTE-GT3 ( 45 different skins) - 3 minutes
2nd load - 2 minutes

S397 acknowledge on discord there is an issue loading times with the new RC build. A few people have reported the same issue. Some are seeing over 3x slower than the normal build.

S397 response:
"Looks like there are some issues with the shader cache. We'll look into it and get it fixed."
