Another week, another Assetto Corsa EVO update. Whilst not a content drop, the new 0.2.1 version builds upon the substantial v0.2 update by introducing critical fixes and enhancements, particularly for VR users and overall performance.
With this fairly substantial patch, could we be seeing the start of a more consistent but smaller update cycle? It could be a one-off thing, given that there were a fair few issues after 0.2, but the idea of a more regularly updated Assetto Corsa EVO would be good for hitting its roadmap marks.

Whilst small, the changes that have been implemented are welcomed and clear up some of the more significant problems with the new cars that we at OverTake had found, such as the muffled exterior sound on the Alfa Romeo 75 Evoluzione and the force feedback bugs on the sliders.
