Changes since 0.2.13:
- Flashback now works in Practice / Race launches, with pause/resume, in-game Quit and race completion preserved.
- Fix wheel steering and force feedback in Normal launches. Launcher wheel bindings now work with larger grids, and force feedback works when the game is using its Keyboard preset. Driving controls → Driving device now applies to every launch mode; an existing in-game wheel or controller preset is kept.
- Improve Test force feedback compatibility. The launcher now tries alternative effects when a wheel rejects the first test. Confirmed working with the Logitech G920 and Fanatec CS DD+.
- Remove the stray grey bar beneath VR menus, including the intro and replay screens.
- Show clear errors when the VR renderer cannot load. The launcher checks for Windows or Steam settings that block it and explains the recovery steps, instead of silently running unmodified GRID 2.
- Improve compatibility with older Visual C++ runtimes when loading the VR renderer.
This is an Experimental pre-release. Wheel controls and force feedback were tested with a Logitech G920 and Fanatec CS DD+; other hardware and SteamVR setups still need testing. A reported Desktop Alt+F4 shutdown fault remains under investigation.
