Network - general:

Game - general:
* Xbox 360 achievement fix. * Several optimisations and performance improvements. * It is now possible to look left and right while in bonnet camera. * Fix for a hang when selecting a gear outside the gears available on the vehicle (this was possible with H-Shifter) * Fix for cars very occasionally flying into the air when hitting kerbs. * Fixes for custom action maps * Track rendering optimisations. * Brown screen problem no longer awards achievements or causes glowing white cars. * Fix for airborne achievement now awarded even if car flips upside down during jump * Fixed frame rate stalls and stuttering on Xbox 360.
PC Specific Changes
General: * Added support for Xinput wheel and Logitech Rumblepad 2, including default action map configurations. * Adding ability to use H-pattern shifter in custom configuration by allowing configuration of gears 1 to 6 and reverse. Same for boost. * Fix for missing Force feedback on Vista. * Added the ability to override the controller type, so that if the game fails to auto-detect it, users can specify it themselves. o Symptoms of the game failing to detect the appropriate controller type are: ? On a pad, handling is too twitchy, appears to steer "lock-to-lock". ? On a wheel, the input lags and the linearity slider doesn't appear to have an effect. * Changing microcode optimisation level for NVIDIA 7xxx series graphics cards to reduce a pause when using each shader for the first time. * Adding support for triple head displays. * Graphical corruption fix when using multiple GPU's. * Network chat text made less obtrusive. * Numerous on-going compatibility fixes. * Improvements to shadows for certain resolutions/aspect ratios. * Profiles are now flushed to disk when they are written to reduce the chance of them being corrupted if the PC dies.
