Le Mans Ultimate Hotfix 1 Released

Just a day after launching as a Steam Early Access title, we’ve already seen Le Mans Ultimate Hotfix 1 released by Motorsport Games and Studio 397.

The main changes to note are that the multi-view tool has been enabled to set up multiple monitors properly, and issues with force feedback and torque across a range of wheels and wheelbases. Some of the changes do mean you might have to delete relevant files in the User Data folder of your game install, particularly for Fanatec CSL Elite or Gamepad and Keyboard users.

There are also stability improvements, including crashes driving over rumble strips, or when entering multiplayer sessions.
