Title: New patch 'soon'

Personally, I won't be holding my breath. But at least it seems as if something is being done. :)

Anyone really good with the Italian?

Sound like a nice way to wrap up excuses for likely delays to me :) but still interesting to see that he knows where the problems lie.

He says he does not want to release a half upgrade and wants to go in depth for the updates (interface and netcode mostly, plus one more track and car) so it should take about 6 months. When done it will be close to 1.1 and not 1.04, so it should be a major (not free) upgrade.
In the end of the post he states that he will try to do all this in 4 weeks and will not charge for it.

I accept no responsibilities for twisting words and thoughts during my approximate translation though ;)

Well that's something.

In fact that's a lot clearer than the Italian's translation. I don't know why Stefano doesn't come on GPC and make posts. His English is first class. :sideways:

Fixes to the netcode will be a BIG help. :D

Fixes to the netcode (that work) will be the only hope of stopping this becoming one big white elephant  :ranting2:

Apparently it's a complete rewrite of the netcode, using a completely different system.
Can't come soon enough...

What stops it from having its own series of bugs and flaws?

Too true, lets hope they just buy some netcode from GTR or LFS etc. :D

Good point, I guess they'll be testing but that means taking time :sad:
