Dear #ACCompetizione racers,
this update introduces some quite interesting improvements like MOUSE SUPPORT IN VR, fix for the majority of severe crashes and some more. The mid-session Save functionality has been de-activated while we are working hard to bring it back in for the next hotfix. We are working on a second hotfix, also planned for this week, that will aim to introduce a brand new Controls Options page, together with a Load Saved Game page that will allow to Save and Load multiple sessions.
Have fun and #beACC
