Reiza Studios patches Automobilista 2 over to v1.2.0.8

Over the weekend, Reiza Studios released another update for the 1.2 version of Automobilista 2. Now running at v1.2.0.8, some recent and long standing bugs that would cause crashing have been fixed, as well as some other tweaks throughout the interface, physics, AI, and audio in the game.  

Some tracks and cars also got a few updates, such as the new Laguna Seca track that was included as DLC in this build. Specifically, Laguna Seca fixed some curbing and added some trackside objects, but there were also some minor tweaks to Spa-Francorchamps, Imola, and Velopark. 

Overall, the update addresses many things that just happen to get looked over during the update. Even after the latest update came through, there were some who noticed an error immediately where users couldn’t connect, and a fixed was sent through within the hour. Computer technology, sometimes it doesn’t play nice. 

Check out the full changelog below and if you haven’t already, be sure to check on Steam for the update. Stay tuned over on Traxion as we continue to update the community on Reiza’s community updates. 

It´s not all about the eye candy as some sources of recent and long-standing instability issues have been addressed – more details and a checklist in case of persisting issues in the full changelog here: https://t.co/MFG1iSpQB8
