Car Used: Formula V8 G1.
Applicable Settings: Race parc ferme rules ON
Steps to reproduce: During the race after parc ferme rules are active

Version 1.6.9.8
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Nissan R89C or/and other Group C
Applicable Settings: Any
Steps to reproduce: N/A
Report:
Hi Reiza Team,
Thanks for the amazing June Update and the new tire branding override feature!
However, I found a bug/omission regarding this feature: it is currently not working on the Nissan R89C (and potentially other Group C cars).
As a livery modder, I tested the exact same XML code, folder structure, and DDS setup on GT3 cars, and it works perfectly. But on the Nissan R89C, the tires remain locked to the default Dunlop logos, and the TIREDIFF entry is ignored.
Looking at the nissan_r89c_dist.xml, it seems the car's 3D model/materials are missing the proper hooks or tire base livery definitions required for the override system.
Could you please look into the material flags for the Nissan R89C and Group C cars in the next hotfix?
Thank you for your hard work!

Version 1.6.9.8
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Beta HUD
Steps to reproduce: For me, just load up any session in any car
Report:The visual split HUD element never works. I could have sworn it worked for the first day or two after the update, but it now has stopped working.

EDIT 2026/07/03: I managed to fix this by removing my user profile and start with a fresh save. Reinstall of the gamefiles did not make any difference.

 

Version 1.6.9.8
Track & Layout Used: Interlagos
Car Used: Formula V8 - Gen1 (B)
Applicable Settings: Custom Race
Steps to reproduce: It started happening after I activated Parallax on High. Note: The Parallax field and the explanatory phrase are in English even though the game is in Portuguese, as shown in the screenshot. In fact, I think all the new parameters came in English.
Report: It's a reflection, the same thing happened to me. It was more noticeable when passing near the "São Paulo City Hall" sign exiting the pit lane; you can read the sign reflected in the tire. I also noticed that it happens when the wheel is in motion. Note: Sorry, I couldn't take a screenshot of the tire or film it at the time.

Track & Layout Used: -
Car Used: TSI Cup Class
Applicable Settings: Auto clutch off, auto gears off
Report: VW street cars stall if you upshift into first. You can only launch them with the clutch (if you set the autmatic gears to off in the setup). However these cars don't even have a clutch. Definitely not the correct behaviour from the automatic gearbox.

 

Version: 1.6.9.81
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Open wheeler
Applicable Settings: VR / POM quality to High
Steps to reproduce: N/A
Report:
Hi Reiza-Team,

I wanted to report a major issue with the new visual tire wear / Parallax Occlusion Mapping (POM) in V1.6.9.81.

As you can see in my attached screenshot (20260620091429_1.jpg), my front-left tire health is down to 0% on the HUD, and the car has suffered terminal engine and tire damage. However, the tire texture itself is still completely smooth, shiny, and looks brand new. No flatspots, no texture degradation, nothing.

On top of that, setting the POM quality to High causing massive performance drops and stuttering in VR (using a Pimax Crystal Super OLED), which is extremely frustrating considering there is absolutely zero visual payoff or rendering happening on the tire surface.

Please look into this, as the feature seems completely broken or fails to project the texture onto the tire model despite the recent hotfix notes.

Thanks!
Best Regards
Albert

Report: I wanted to report a bug I've experienced a couple times. During an online race and making a pitstop, the steering sensitivity had changed after completing my pitstop. Below is my POV during the race. I do not know what caused this to happen, but it has happened a couple times. I re-entered the pits to recalibrate the wheel mid race.

My wheel is a Moza R12, using Danielkarts FFB settings. My default rotation is 900deg.

Version: 1.6.9.81

Report:
I've done a few tests to see how much the tires wear out, but the grooves don't seem to be disappearing on mine:

In the HUD, you can see that the tire is completely worn out.
During the tests, I made sure not to create any flat spots.

Parallax Occlusion Mapping is set to High and tire wear is accelerated by 5x.

Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Rear viewmirror, reverse driving
Report:
Hi guys,

Noticed a bug (1.6.9.81) where the dust clouds for a given wheel disappear from the rear view mirror when that tyre returns to the track. Smoke/water spray is perfect and stays for a good amount of time.

Separately also noticed there are no dust clouds when driving in reverse on gravel/dirt.

Cheers
