Automobilista 2 December 2023 Development Update

I think Reiza almost certainly would have done this were it not the last week of 2023. The whole "end of year" aspect probably pushed them a little too much.

 

B.A. Circuit °15 is one of my favorites in L.A. too

 

Unrelated to the update, but I just read this terribly sad news: Gil de Ferran, dead at 56. What a loss!

Gil de Ferran 1967-2023 | RACER

 

In some cases, the sad actions of a weak spirit could provoke a Midnight Sun response:



Fortunately for us, I suspect that Reiza is made of sterner stuff than that.

 

Releasing an update which say causes 1% of peoples games to CTD, would cause such an outcry, it would likely be really bad for the game's image. So far we aren't even past the "end of the year" deadline that has been mentioned, and to tell the truth I would be surprised if at the worst it wasn't less than a week beyond this.

 

Do you mean like RC not much longer?

 

So instead of promising, put a scheduled launch date. This would help to contain people's anxiety.

Reza has to learn how to put a date for releases, this would help a lot because there are people who have been with the computer on for 24 hours for 4 days waiting for the update. Let's be more consistent, let's put the date on the next updates and the next DLC. For God's sake.

 

The first video with LeMans was uploaded BEFORE any delays were announced, and those delays were announced in this thread first. The leak happened before anyone knew about the delay.

It's not just bugs, it's instability. Imagine after all of this hype, loading up a multiclass race at LeMans (only using this combo as an example) only for the game to suddenly crash. That would at the very least sour the mood, and if that happened to me in a public release I'd be very upset. I feel like Reiza's biggest mistake was the mega-crunch at the end of 2022 that ended with 3 tracks in the main release being completely broken, and I'm glad they're doing what they can to prevent that from happening again.

Edit: removed mention of the GTA 6 leaks due me thinking the OP was referring to the massive leak that happened earlier this year

 

Awww dang. I wouldn't be surprised if the further work would take more time than just the few days before release, but that's me being hopeful. I'm definitely hoping for that transition to be added quickly though! I was sad that it wasn't included in another sim since it's the best part of the LMDh class; so I guess now it's a race of who can get it done first haha.

 

If people have been waiting as long as you claim for a virtual car and a virtual track on a virtual game that isn't going anywhere, they need to do something better with their life instead of being chronically attached to their computer, honestly.

 

I don't think that if it came as an RC people wouldn't complain because it's not the full version (official version).Put the release as RC and put an expressive name saying the version and the word beta next to the version as seen in Test Driver Unlimited Solar Crow.

That's not it, Reiza needs to work with dates and not announce that there will be an update. Because there are people who live only through the simulator I'm sorry, but I'm being honest. Launch it soon or set a release date and don't bother people, as people are looking forward to the DLC and the update.

I'm a TDUSC beta tester and I know what it's like.

The first company I see that doesn't work with DLC and update dates (especially DLC) is Reiza Studios, this has to change. Because there are people who make a living from the Simulator. KTC racing (TDUSC) notifies both betas and people of updates with dates.

Coloque em RC Put it in RC and the name Working in Progress would help a lot with this anxiety.

Coloque o lançamento do buggy no RC e marque-o Put the buggy release in RC and put the Working in Progress watermark, that's all.

Há muitas pessoas ansiosas por correr em Le Mans que nem se importam seThere are a lot of people looking forward to racing at Le Mans who don't even care if it's bugged or not, just starting the simulator with that track makes them happy.

 

This is not a promise.
They were ready to release as a RC, but some beta testers had CTD so it has been put on hold, but we are close.

 

If you read through, Renato had used to announce dates and then changed the language because solid dates can't always be guaranteed, for exact reasons like today. He had also stated it shouldn't be more than two days as well. That's what we get until we're told otherwise. I'm sure the staff would happily explain why "just launch it or set a release date" isn't realistically possible.

What if they had set a firm date for this update being the 28th, and released a buggy version to everyone? Because then everyone would be mad that they held on to the date and knowingly released something broken.

 

Reiza is not the only company to work with vague dates. I also race on iRacing and their dev updates are the same way. Not every company needs to use the exact same methods because it's just not possible. Just because KTC Racing does that, doesn't mean every other game company has to.

 

A suggestion to staff members if they read this by the way! If it's possible (because I, of course, don't know how the systems work), implement the Beta Tester's user ID or something into a (static, but position changing) multicolored watermark! That way if something from NotForMedia somehow gets leaked, you know who it is.

 

There are quite a few people in here that need to go outside and get some sun on their shoulders or fresh air in their lungs.

If only we could capture all this energy, we could power a small town.

Everyone calm your tits, it is coming.

Happy 2024 BTW.

 

GROAN. What a load of crap being posted.. its delayed.. big deal. I’d rather hear of plans and intentions that get delayed than stone cold silence. Too many snowflakes around here.

Edit: I am not sure why you liked my post because I am pretty confident I am stating the complete opposite of you. As for people making a living from the simulator.. well, maybe its time they started paying Reiza commission/license fees don't you think? Reiza owes these people nothing.

 

It's the anxiety eating us up inside

 

All these emotions flowing and after the release a lot of lobbies running 6 laps races with GT3 at Le Mans - damage off.

Will be fun!!!

 

do you even know what anxiety is ?

the anticipation might be getting to you , but the anxiety is all on the reiza crew when they hit the button.
