==Issues unresolved==

===Slow-down when using a controller===
 +
* When using a controller, frame-rate may drop significantly in main-menu.
 +
 +
===Analog inputs do not function on newer versions of Windows===
 +
* On Windows 8 and higher, USB controller (wheel and gamepad) analog inputs register according to the options menu, but will not function in-game as the default controller cannot be set.
 +
* A temporary workaround involves plugging the controller to a USB 2.0 slot and other peripherals into a USB 3.0 or higher slot.
 +
This is due to how the game treats device priorities, relocating the controller to the top of the default controller list. This ceases to work on the next PC start-up,
 +
locking the steering to the left and disabling all controller input except for Acceleration.
 +
===Custom bindgings doesn't work in the game===
 +
* Changing acceleration and brake to A/Z results in no reaction on key pressing during the race.

  • When using a controller, frame-rate may drop significantly in main-menu.

Analog inputs do not function on newer versions of Windows

  • On Windows 8 and higher, USB controller (wheel and gamepad) analog inputs register according to the options menu, but will not function in-game as the default controller cannot be set.
  • A temporary workaround involves plugging the controller to a USB 2.0 slot and other peripherals into a USB 3.0 or higher slot.

This is due to how the game treats device priorities, relocating the controller to the top of the default controller list. This ceases to work on the next PC start-up, locking the steering to the left and disabling all controller input except for Acceleration.

Custom bindgings doesn't work in the game

  • Changing acceleration and brake to A/Z results in no reaction on key pressing during the race.
