F1 2021, Codemaster ha reintrodotto il Ray Tracing su PS5

[Barrnet]

Codemaster ha rilasciato nei giorni scorsi la patch 1.05 per F1 2021 su PlayStation 5 e PC, che riabilita il Ray Tracing sulla console di nuova generazione di Sony. La tecnologia in questione era stata disabilitata nella patch precedente per problemi prestazionali, ma lo studio aveva annunciato di essere al lavoro per una pronta risoluzione del problema.

Le note di versione dell'aggiornamento, disponibili sul sito ufficiale di Elettronic Arts, segnano anche un cospicuo numero di fix introdotti a diversi crash che potevano avvenire in situazioni relativamente rare e fix ad alcuni problemi minori legati al matchmaking. Su Xbox Series è stata disabilitata momentaneamente la possibilità di utilizzare una tastiera come dispositivo di input poiché dava problemi durante la riassegnazione dei controlli dei volanti. La tastiera verrà riabilitata non appena Microsoft risolverà il problema con un aggiornamento del firmware.

Di seguito le note di versione della patch 1.05:

• Improvements to DLSS implementation.
• Resolved a crash that could occur after returning to a ranked lobby if the lobby had split.
• Addressed an issue where players could be split into a placeholder lobby when re-matchmaking in ranked.
• Rebalanced Prologue and chapter 9 of Braking Point on Hard difficulty.
• Addressed a crash when previewing items within the Podium Pass.
• Addressed a crash when Player 2 quits in Two-Player Career Player career while Player 1 is in an interview.
• Addressed a crash with UDP if the number of active cars was zero.
• Addressed a crash when editing colours of customisation items.
• Addressed issues regarding Ray Tracing on PS5. Ray Tracing has now been re-enabled.

• Addressed an issue where Two-Player Career could be locked to equal performance.
• Addressed an issue where players could be placed on sub-optimal tyres during an F2™ Sprint race.
• Addressed an issue where the game could briefly stall when passing the start/finish line in one-shot qualifying.
• Addressed an issue where only the lobby host would be notified that the Virtual Safety Car was ending.
• Added option to select Ray Tracing quality on PC.
