TV Cams, Improved Tracks, Better Precision and Stability

24 Nov 2021, 15:22
  • Rescaled circuits - Belgium, China, Malaysia, Mexico and Singapore have all been re-scaled to have a normal road width and circuit length. Number of laps (100% length):
    Belgium 43 Malaysia 55 China 55 Singapore 60 Mexico 70
  • Improved visual accuracy in races - The visual position of cars on the track in both 2D and 3D modes has been substantially improved to reduce out-of-sync events creating visual gaps inconsistent with live timing.
  • New TV Cameras - Ideal for streaming, broadcasting and recording race videos, or for increased immersion for managers who want to participate in a race like it's on TV.
  • Performance & Stability update (part 2) - Parts 1 and "1.5" of this update increased app stability for everyone in the managerial screens only. This update builds on those improvements to further stabilise app launch and runtime performance, plus improved reliability and performance when loading, viewing and returning from live races.
  • Greatly improved 3D Visuals - major revisions to all surfaces such as terrains, asphalts, gravel traps. Higher quality textures, the elimination of visible texture tiling through shader techniques.
  • Fixes to race viewer loading - reducing scenarios where viewer loading could get stuck.
  • Fixes to app launch - reducing scenarios where the app could cease responding or crash on low-end devices.
  • Fixed Android push notifications not sending.
  • Various other fixes and improvements.

New transfers system

20 Oct 2021, 13:08
  • New transfers system - Tokens are now returned to all except the winning bidder. The transfers list cycles every 4 minutes instead of every few hours and all auctions on the list refresh at the same time.
  • Performance & Stability update ("part 1.5") - further back-end website code optimisations for faster performance, better rendering times and reduced UI latency. This will be most noticeable on the transfers system. It's not as comprehensive as "Part 1" of these updates but is noteworthy as some may find the transfers system significantly more responsive and stable. The final and most significant stage of these improvements ("Part 2") will arrive soon with an app update.
  • Added all missing flags
  • Fixed empty name exploit where users could enter blank manager/driver/staff/team names.
  • Fixed news feed reactions not working on some devices.
  • Fixed standalone desktop application having a white background
  • Fixed standalone desktop application saving settings
  • Fixed race results showing 0-second lap times showing as purple / fastest
  • Fixed bug where scouting HQ countdowns could display incorrect times
  • Fixed cache refresh happening for new users during the beginner tutorial
  • Fixed ESC key bringing up "exit app" prompt on web
  • Fixed enter key on team create page submitting form (disrupting beginner tutorial)
  • Fixed the possibility to scroll highlighted elements and tutorial text off screen
  • Fixed clicking on [!] notification icons within buttons resulting in the notification icon disappearing but the button click not being recognised
  • Various other hotfixes and improvements.

New scout system & improved performance & stability

13 Aug 2021, 15:42
  • New: Youth scouting system overhaul with a free scouting refresh every 48 hours and dynamic pricing aligned to HQ and youth levels.
  • New: Scout talented young staff from the Offices & Hospitality HQ. An entire team can now be scouted as an alternative to transfers.
  • Performance & Stability update (part 1) - a total overhaul of back-end website code in pursuit of faster performance, better rendering times and reduced UI latency. This will be most noticeable on management screens and when editing driver or staff appearance. On low-end devices improvements may be noticeable across all management screens. The second part of this update will arrive as an app update on the app stores soon. Both parts of this update are aimed at reducing ANR (app not responding) and crash scenarios with improved performance and stability.
  • Stricter system requirements on Google Play: Phones with 1GB RAM or less and tablets with 2GB RAM or less can no longer install iGP Manager through Google Play.
  • Added User ID to the bottom of the Settings page 'Account' tab. This is useful for support-related requests.

NOTE: A cache clear is required for this update. You can do this from the Settings page in game then clicking "Clear cache" at the bottom of the page. The game will attempt to do this automatically, but if you have any issues we recommend trying this.
