Hello Riders!
Tour de France 2022 has now been available for less than a week, this gave us a great opportunity to read your thoughts & feedback here and on social media. We wanted to share with you an update on our next steps for the game.
Known issues
Our team has identified a handful of bugs, performance and balancing issues thanks to your reports on Steam and social media. Our developers are working with our Production and Quality Assurance teams to reproduce, resolve and make sure that the process is as efficient as possible.
We are working on various small updates to address some of the following issues given below.
- Issues with ProTeam/ProLeader
- Profiles’ infinite loading time
- Incorrect countries associated with some Riders
- Unwanted Splitscreen mode activation (A workaround has been found and shared in our Steam Technical F.A.Q https://steamcommunity.com/app/1767570/discussions/0/3417683014655496233/).
Another larger update will be released later to address more issues and from the feedback you've given us.
Open Beta
For our team to work efficiently on issues reported after the launch of the game, we will soon open an Open Beta branch of Tour de France 2022. On this separated brach you will be able to test future versions of the game before they are live on the public servers.
To join the Open Beta:
- Open Steam > Library
- Right-click on Tour de France 2022 > Properties
- Select Beta and enter the following code: GauduTDF2022
- Verify the code and download the Open Beta branch.
To leave your feedback from your time on the Open Beta you can either leave it on the Steam Discussions (with the appropriate [OPEN BETA] tag in the title so we know its relevant to this version of the game) or on our Official Discord (discord.gg/9kxcCUy) in one of the appropriate channels.
