Fixes:
-Fixed the CPU detection so the correct thread strategy is chosen for your PC. This fixes the stuttering issues that we may have introduced in v0.8, sorry about that!
-The achievement "Visceral... but in the correct meaning of the word? is now only unlockable when meeting the required criteria. This should mean it is a proper challenge to unlock again.
-The timing of some co-driver calls for Finland have been adjusted, they won't be as early in some places. Also, they've got a bit braver so they've raised their volume a bit too.
-Advanced Custom Wheel configurations are now saving correctly, Clutch deadzone and saturation settings will now be saved with wheel settings too. Yay!.
-Animal protection services have been on the phone so we've had to move the wildlife on some stages to safety.
-Issues with systems crashing at the start of a stage when using AMD Crossfire are now resolved.
-The game will save after you receive your rewards from online events - yeah, they didn't do that before.
-Fixed a crash that would occur if you exited to the menus in a Rallye-Cross event at the semi-finals .
-Fixed the Logitech G29 actionmap so you can navigate the menus correctly - we finally got hold of one to test it out.
-Fixed repair puncture OSD text remaining on screen after the player retires.
-Fixed the wrong points being displayed for entrants when any of the reverse grid options were enabled in PvP.
-"Gotta Get Me One of These? and "Any Given Sunday? achievements both now unlock when completed in any relevant online event.
-Spectating another player crash at high speed in PVP will no longer break the camera changing system.
-The mouse cursor will now hide when the mouse is not moved for a short period of time, solving the issue where the mouse cursor would remain on screen when played in windowed mode.
-AI difficulty levels should now be working within league play.
