Next update/hotfix

Sean Kenney · Jan 6, 2015

Just curious when the next update might be? Obviously with the holidays and their move not much is to be expected if at all.

I really am not worried about content updates or anything such as that, but just hoping they fix/improve some of the bugs created from the last update(can't race at Zolder or Brandshatch, race finish order messed up) that were not present before and maybe a slight improvement with the mulitplayer ping and livery issues.

or maybe a hotfix to sort those?

If everything goes as it did in the past months we should get an update around mid-Jan.
I'd say in the week of the 19th...

Yeah assumed then.

Just didn't know if they could get a hotfix in or something before then, when they get back into the office etc...

Maybe update the Gr5 cars by adding the FABCAR? Would be sweet.

The Fabcar (and its liveries) has been announced for early this year in the last dev stream.

I know, and what they showed looks promising. That's why I am hopeful that it will be in the next update or soon thereafter.

I hope so, I think there is enough content for a year, its time to focus on new features and iron out the known bugs.

SnappyDEe · Jan 9, 2015

Never enough content!

But also, always some bugs to be worked out. Lack of content doesn't prevent us from enjoying what we have, bugs can though.

SnappyDEe · Jan 9, 2015

Never enough! lol

Not in steam, not gonna see an update until then I gather.

I think a constant dripfeed of new content is a must for the business model, to keep the cashflow going.
I think S3`s business model is based on that of the drug dealer.
You know, you get a taster for free, and once you`re hooked, you just have to keep going back for more.
Then, before you know what you`re doing, you`re robbing little old ladies just so you can get your hands on that Ferrari 250 GTO that`s just been released...

Exactly. Regular content releases are a necessity for the product to survive. F2P doesn't pay the bills otherwise.

Where is this Ferrari you speak of, and where's the nearest old lady I can rob to pay for it??
