An update

0.8.1958.35995

Due to reasons, this update wouldn’t work properly with Custom Shaders Patch older than v0.1.25-preview48 (that’s when I added data_manifest.ini). With older versions, specific date in Quick Drive, as well as new features like 24 hours in User Championships, won’t be available.

• Warning for Oculus Rift users, helping to solve that problem of VR not working properly if CM is launched from AC folder;
• Customize pits menu in AC system settings;
• Controls settings: support for different devices with the same name and product ID (thanks to Alex for his patience in helping me debug it);
• Set time multiplier in User Championships;
• Improved patch support:
  • With Weather FX, pick time from full 24 hour range in User Championships;
  • Also, pick time from full 24 hour range for default weathers;
  • Bind POV buttons to original AC inputs;
  • Other cases, like shadows disabling or screenshots format, now sync properly with installed patch as well;
• Audio settings:
  • Proper device loading;
  • Quick Switch for selecting a preset;
• Option to disable CM hiding during the race now works;
• CefSharp plugin updated, so:
  • Remembering of signing in works again;
  • Websites are displayed properly again;
  • Please make sure to update;
• “Pick sequential skins” option won’t get rid of cars without numbered skins anymore;
  • But there is a new option to switch it back to old behavior;
• Custom Showroom:
  • Occasional ignoring of all inputs now should be fixed, hopefully;
  • Baked AO map opening behind dialog should be fixed too;
  • Bake AO maps fully transparent;
  • Option to save AO maps in DXT5 format rather than in LA88 format;
  • Paint Shop textures auto-detection improved;
• Image viewer is less subtle now, with an option to return it back to how it was;
• Improved patch installation;
  There is more, but it needs to be tested first and fixed a bit, so it’s disabled for now.
• Monitoring FPS during the race is enabled by default (now that it seems to work properly);
• Servers Manager:
  • Disabling extended mode fixed;
  • Time multiplier doesn’t get rounded;
• Loading mods from websites redirecting to other websites, like sharemods.com, is fixed;
• Context menu for settings title link for faster navigation;
• Stability fixes.

• Mods browser fixed.
