It’s been a long road. Crashes, slowdowns, stuttering… It seems to be gone now for the most part. This is an amazing update for PC. I have yet not bought any of the expansions, but in base game, where I was having drops to 50fps, I now achieve minimum of at least 58fps. For the most part, it’s 70 with unlocked framerate in races and 80 in free roam. This is a huge difference in playability. At least for 2 hours I have spent on the game so far after the update.
People disbelieved in you, wrote pretty offensive things, but you, dear developers, held on and made the game better than ever. I want to thank you for that. Why ? Because I really hope you don’t drop support for PC when comes to bugfixes and overall issues this game has and do even better job over time. It is a great game with a few issues and I really hope you’re gonna improve and make it a perfect open world racing game, and you’re really close to getting there. Once again, thank you for all the changes ! And a seperate thank you for QA team working on updates for catching those hard to reproduce bugs, I know from my experience that testers are often underappreciated and you did a good job as well.
Thank you again ! I always believed you could make this game better than it already was.
