rFactor 2 has today received another new update, adding several fixes as well as the long awaited support for multiple GPUs...
Studio 397 have been hard at work bringing both large and small updates to the title on a regular basis since introducing the substantial DX11 and Virtual Reality update back in April, and now another new update is available for immediate download, and it contains plenty of interesting fixes and additions.
Noteworthy for the majority of players will be the seemining innocuous real road shader artifacts updated, with should give a little visual boost to the title, plus a very welcome addition of controller profiles for several key Fanatec products.
July 6th Build Update Notes:
- Fixed artifacts on old real road shader.
- Fixed screen capture in TTool.
- Fixed multiple controller profiles so JOY1 is default controller mapping....
- Added controller profiles for Fanatec wheels: Fanatec CSW v2.5, Fanatec CSW v2, Fanatec CSR Elite, Fanatec CSL XBOX, Fanatec CSL PS4.
- Added support for mulit-gpus and multi-monitor selection, available via drop downs in Laucher config.
- VR Added re-center view now assignable to a key (default is Backspace).
- VR Fixed Track loading screen.
- Lower input latency
