Automobilista v1.3.0 & ADELAIDE RELEASED; Updated to V1.3.1

Automobilista v1.30 is released, along with a new DLC: Adelaide is also available for purchase here.

If you are interested in other current & upcoming Automobilista DLCs however it is strongly recommended you check the AMS "Season Pass" for all upcoming DLCs (for those that already have the base game) and the bundle of AMS Base + Season Pass (which includes the base game).

Pricings for Automobilista & Season Pass have been adjusted - Automobilista base has dropped to US$ 29.99 (or respective currency conversion) while the Season Pass price has risen to US$ 39.99 or your respective currency conversion. Individual DLC packages remain priced the same way, including Adelaide which now sells for the standard US$ 5.99.

For a limited amount of time you may still get the Membership upgrade which includes the Season Pass with the old pricing of US$ 29.99 from our forum store, and that will also grant you Reiza 51 access.

* The mid-race full course yellow is a rule from F-Truck - it triggers a 2-lap safety car period after the leader completes half race distance (provided the total distance is equal or more than 10 laps / 15 minutes). It does not work in historical tracks.

** The new engine reliability functions will demand extra care during gear shifts, specially for older engines. Upshifting without lifting in cars without powershift and bouncing off the rev limiter will accelerate engine wear and may eventually lead to failures if practiced over a longer race distance; a very aggressive downshift may lead to an instant blow-up.

If you have an online race tonight, you may stick to or revert to the previous v1.2.1 by selecting that branch from the Steam Beta tab. Further instructions as to how to do that here.

If you have a bug to report please use the new bug report thread (make sure to check the opening post first).

If you experience any issues running the game following the update, it´s worth running a Steam Integrity Check to make sure all files have been added / updated correctly.

For further difficulties related to installing, running or setting up the game, please refer to USER MANUAL present as a launch option from Steam If you need further assistance please post it inV1.0 troubleshooting topic or email support@reizastudios.com (please allow for up to 1 business day for a reply).

 

Unfortunately we can´t hook forum access up with the Season Pass purchase from Steam, but you can still get Reiza 51 access by buying the Membership pack from the forum store which includes Season Pass with the old price, as per opening post:

 

Larry, did you participate in last year´s crowdfunding campaign or bought the membership pack from the forum? Those are the 2 ways to normally get access.

Mind you this is a flexible rule, as I´ve mentioned in a few topics we can grant access to Reiza 51 for those who bought the Season Pass from Steam who are also active members in the regular forums - if you have 50 posts or more and want access to Reiza 51, send me or @Dave Stephenson a PM and we´ll get you in.
