Reiza Studios have released a new build of their Automobilista title that is currently part of Steam’s Early Access programme.
The new build introduces UI improvements along plenty of other fixes as listed below.
Changelog
- Improved support for Windows User Account Control ??? now all user-generated files should be stored in MyDocs\Automobilista folder. Users with UAC on will be prompted to create a new profile (if you disable UAC or run as admin however it will still use game folder)
- Added option to select PLAYER LEVEL after new profile creation (can be changed later from the difficulty menu) ??? CASUAL / ADVANCED / HARDCORE: depending on level selected, the default settings will be customized accordingly for various Difficulty / Controls / Display options

- Downshift protection also added to prevent engine over-revving in semi-auto boxes;
- Added option for manual gear shift override in cars with autoshift electronic aids (such as F-V10 & Camaro SS)

Successor to the studios??? Game Stock Car Extreme title, Automobilista continues Reiza???s efforts of pairing up cars and tracks from Brazil???s most popular racing series such as??Stock Car V8, Copa Petrobras de Marcas and the Mitsubishi Lancer Cup with more international racing content, the addition of which has already started with the recent GSC E updates.
Development of the new title has been funded by Reiza???s successful crowd-funding campaign last summer, allowing the team to go much further than just create new content & features for GSCE but rather create an all-new title to contain all the fresh developments.
