The primary focus of Build 1110 was a complete overhaul of the rendering pipeline to improve frame rates and stability, especially for demanding setups.
: By utilizing multiple graphics threads, the engine became significantly faster at rendering complex scenes. Notable gains were seen in shadow rendering, which was optimized to avoid redundant work in Virtual Reality (VR) and multi-view setups.
For users looking to access this build or newer versions, Studio 397 recommends opting out of all Steam beta branches to ensure the most stable, up-to-date files are installed.
The update, released by Studio 397 in April 2018, served as a pivotal milestone that transitioned the simulation into a new era of performance and visual fidelity. This "exclusive" build effectively marked the end of DirectX 9 support, mandating a shift to the DirectX 11 engine to leverage modern hardware more efficiently. Core Technical Advancements
: Changes were made to how primary and alternate inputs for throttle, brake, and steering are combined, ensuring more predictable behavior across different sim racing peripherals . AI and Gameplay Tweaks
: High-level systems, including real-road updates and brake disk glow, were rewritten for better CPU and GPU efficiency.
: Fixed issues where the AI would exhibit poor acceleration at very low strength settings.
Beyond under-the-hood tweaks, v1110 introduced visible changes to the user experience.
: The update expanded the number of engine samples to 12 and transmission samples to 6, allowing for much richer, more immersive vehicle sounds.
