Static AO This is adding Occlusion to bottom of objects and cars.With the DX11 implementation we also introduced new features to improve many aspects of the final output:Improved MSAA rendering.It has definitely contributed to the overall look of the end product. Medium = Glare Effects and Depth of FieldĪt this point we would also like to thank the people from YEBIS for providing a great library to work with.Note that even the “None” setting gives a better graphical quality than the DX9 graphics we had before! An overview of the levels: The highest setting (ultra) gives the best quality effects, but will also require a really fast graphics card. Therefore, we recommend you start at a conservative level (none or low), and if you have a graphics card of the latest generation, try the higher ones (medium or high). Post effects provide you with some exciting new graphical options that look great, but as with any graphics option, need to be balanced against a good framerate. In the same config window where you set your ‘Video Settings’ you have a drop down for post effect levels. We’ll start these release notes with a few hints on how to setup the DX11 graphics (regardless of VR): There is a known issue with the replay cams, only one eye has an image.The menus and UI are all in the VR space, but you will need to use mouse and keyboard.Now just click on the single player icon in the Launcher and open rFactor 2.(We have a known issue we are working on where you will not get FFB if SteamVR is not started first) Important: First open SteamVR manually before starting single player.Start by setting the Post Effect Level to “None” (see release notes below).Set your screen resolution to 1920×1080.In the pop up config window check the box ‘VR’.Then click on the ‘Video Settings’ button.In the Launcher click on the settings icon wheel.If you ever want to revert, follow the same procedure, but instead of selecting a beta version, select “NONE”, which will opt you out of any betas, straight back to the latest DX9 release. The game will verify the files (this might take a moment). Go to “Local Files” then click on “Verify Integrity”.To do this, from your library in Steam, right-click on rFactor 2.If you encounter any problems, make sure you validate your locally installed files. Now at the bottom of your Steam window you will see the download starting.

From the drop down list, locate and select the beta called “v1108-DX11-open-beta”.Open Steam and on the right hand side right-click on “rFactor 2” to bring up the menu.To try the DX11 open beta, you must first opt-into the DX11 branch – this means essentially you are downloading the DX11 version of rFactor 2 – don’t worry, though! You don’t have to download everything again, it will be a small download to switch between DX9 and DX11. Switching to the DX11 “open beta” (and back) We’ll start these notes with a description on how to activate the open beta, how to configure VR if you want to use that, and then proceed with the release notes, some known issues and a glimpse at the road ahead. Thanks for staying with us on this journey! We have much more in the pipeline, and can’t wait to let you all get your hands on the new user interface, content and some pretty cool features. Importantly, this is an ‘open beta’, meaning we are still working on optimising and improving the fidelity of the engine – your feedback is always welcome. It is a huge update, focused on improving the visual fidelity and creating a foundation to work from. Now it’s finally here and ready for you to enjoy. This is the first important milestone in the continued development of rFactor 2. The long road to DX11 and VR that started just a few months back has brought us to this day – with all of the expectations, promises, teasers and general community fervor encompassing this release. We’ve been bursting with the type of anticipation you get when you’re waiting to give someone a really cool gift. We know it’s been an excruciating wait, even for us.
