rFactor 2 has received a small but important update today, adding much needed performance improvements under wet conditions to the simulation.
Having been through something of a troubled time performance wise since the latest major update to rain effects within the title, Studio 397 have been hard at work behind the scenes as they work away in the background to bring a more stable and hardware friendly performance - something it appears the developers have impressively achieved with this latest build update.
Aimed mostly at bring down the requirements for running decent frame rates under wet conditions in VR, many users are already reporting a significant increase in performance following this update - the first in hopefully several passes by Studio 397 to bring much needed performance gains to the simulation when racing in wet conditions.
Although designed with the VR user in mind, the new performance update also brings good results to players using a monitor or three for their sim racing fix - and offers benefits in both dry and wet conditions too...
You can read the new build update notes below:
Steam Build ID 2919230 - Steam Build ID 2919232 (dedicated server)
- Optimized VR performance in rainy conditions.
- Fixed windshield wipers showing a slight skip in the animation.
- Fixed windshield wipers when OFF showing slightly propped up.
- Fixed rain drops appearing too wide on certain resolutions.
- Fixed corrupted Flag animations (affecting both official tracks and mods)
