Zu rFactor 2 wird es auch eine richtige Demo von ISI geben

rF2-Spielern wird empfohlen die lokale Version über die Autoupdatefunktion zu aktualisieren. Sollten dabei Probleme auftreten, wird zum manuellen Download der 282 MB großen Light-Version geraten. Wahlweise kann auch die mit 1,04 GB wesentlich größere Komplettversion über die rF2-Downloadseite heruntergeladen werden.

Zudem informieren die Entwickler, dass es in Build 198 einen Fehler mit dem eingebauten Updatesystem gab. Wer diese inzwischen veraltete Version noch installiert hat, sollte zunächst manuell auf Build 218 oder 228 in der Light-Version aktualisieren.

Gute Neuigkeiten gibt es auch für alle grundsätzlich an rFactor 2 interessierten Simracer die um die Rennsimulation auf Grund der kostenpflichtigen Betaversion bislang einen großen Bogen gemacht haben. ISI hat bestätigt, dass es bald eine richtige Demoversion geben wird mit der sich jeder so wie beim Vorgänger rFactor vom Spiel überzeugen kann ohne dafür gleich bezahlen zu müssen.
