- Increased input rates to 500Hz and limited FFB rate to 360Hz to minimize potential issues with asynchronous rates
- Further fine-tuned all car-specific max force, filters & smoothing levels to suit final FFB system and latest tyre physics developments
Physics:
- Fixed stalled player engine in rolling starts and in some cases when switching from AI control (still needs multiplayer testing)
