Could be a placebo but I don't recall the wheels giving this much spray before.

Not sure. I'm away from the game now but when I was playing I couldn't connect online to check it out. :

What video is this GIF from?

Also are the new cars in yet? I can't seem to see them in the car selection screen...

First thing I thought when I put the weather on, the wheels were spraying more than before. I figured it was just me misremembering though!

Awesome, thank you.

I'd love to know what time of day and weather setting being used in this video.

8:00, heavy rain, stormy.

Evo really should put this kind of info in the update list because this game has caused way too many placebo effects. :P
 
where can i find this for cheap in the uk, non-digital? Everything that's shown about this game after it's launch "disaster" has increasingly tickled my hype-gland.

I think these tracks look absolutely amazing and I can't wait for the update. Slightly disappointed the new expansion pack isn't out tomorrow though. Would have loved some official tours and new cars to coincide with the update!

Side note, tremendous kudos to Evo for providing these tracks for free. Amazing post release support.

This. Between Driveclub and MK8 I think some devs are starting to "get it". Give us a lot of content for our $60, then go the extra mile on DLC in both amount of content and price. The only thing left to complete the Driveclub redemption is the PS+ edition.
 
the second jpn course has some awful shadow flickering (played 9 am, time x 60, clear sky and weather). never noticed something like this in the game before, it looks horrible.

Can't believe they actually did this. Evolution is awesome. This is like one of the first things I wanted an option to remove because I thought they were ruining the look of their awesome tracks but I honestly thought I was like an extremely small minority that wanted this and didn't feel like it would be addressed at all. (Plus the game still looked awesome)

Wow those are great options. Evo outdoes themselves with every update.

To be fair, the STI is the GOAT. Literally. After a few laps on Trial Mountain, I actually said aloud, "Holy shit, this car is awesome. I feel like I'm riding a mountain goat."

I imagine many of you are having the same, "HAHAHAHA!! What the fuck??" reaction my friends had, so I'll explain. After spending many hours finessing cars through corners, driving the STI felt as simple as diving in to a corner, rotating to point at the next apex, and diving towards it. It felt like I was careening down the side of a cliff as effortlessly as a mountain goat, only needing to decide which boulder (apex) I was leaping to next.

Oof.
 
Well fuck, my PS4 didn't auto-download the update. Now I'm going to have to sit around for an hour while this thing downloads. Rather unfortunate, to say the least.
 
Geez Servers are ass again,

Need to wait a few days again before time races

Tracks are nice though

But no city track :(

Evo please
 
Loving the new tracks, but the multiplayer time trial might be my favorite addition.

Does anyone think they slightly lowered resolution or AA with this update? I'm noticing some more powerline with aliasing issues that never stuck out before.
 
It'd be nice if the devs could throw in an option to remove the rain effect from the screen when you're in a third-person camera mode, to go with the removal of flags and crowds. While I understand the reasons for it, it'd still be nice to have the option to turn it off. It's just too hard to see when it's on, and my immersion is often broken because I'm straining to see things while being reminded that there is a glass screen separating me from the action. I'd also like to be able to see what the environment around me looks like while it's raining -- it's hard to admire the scenery when the view of it is plastered with water smudges. The effect is fine (and even desirable) in the cockpit view, but when outside the car, it's a hindrance in more ways than one.

Well before I try the tracks out, where is the option to disable the flags? I can't find it anywhere o.o

I'm at work so I can't check, but from what one or two posts I think crowds and flags are lumped in together. So if you disable crowds, the flags should go away as well.

Considering all the previous updates seemed to have people thinking the AA got better only to find out there was no change, I'm guessing perceived downgrades would be the same situation.

Doubt anything has changed, but I guess if someone wanted to they could post a comparison.

Wow, are we getting rainbows now?

Yup. They sneaked that into this update. Rainbows and heat haze. Double rainbows too.
 
Amazing update. All this time I assumed it would be paid (I already own the Season Pass). This makes the game even of greater value, Evolution is doing a fantastic job supporting DC.


Downloading now.

CEX sells this pre-owned for £20 now. I believe it is their standard price for it, not some sort of timed deal.
 
Is there a way I can save/share the seed to the double rainbow course? It's a double rainbow that shows up as soon as you cross the bridge.
