For every update released, there is the potential for changes not listed in the initial patch notes. Please report any undocumented changes you find in the current update and I'll update the OP as much as possible to reflect those changes found.


1. It is encouraged that you make an effort in verifying these changes as much as possible, either through videos or images.
2. If you need help from the community to verify something, don't be afraid to ask.
3. It is strongly advised that you be as specific and detailed as possible with the information including a brief description of the bug or improvement before it was fixed/changed (if applicable) and how. If English is not your first language that's ok, just do it to the best of your ability.


THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD ABOUT THE OFFICIAL CHANGES Only any changes not listed on the official site are discussed here

I am guessing you must already own all the existing paints and just checked the new unowned ones? Or did you go through every car and check :lol:
 
Any changes regarding PSSR on the Pro or VR changes/additions?
I noticed better LoD on the cars, and maybe a small resolution increase. Can't say PSSR is in use. No changes to the HUD though.

edit: I noticed the cars LoD changes in Sardegna. It was very noticeable with the Subaru WRX, the rear would get completely "blank".

----
On the Podium DD (and probably others), they tweaked the FFB effect when the front tyres lose grip. It's a lot less pronounced. FFB in general seems improved.

Noticed that the audible note of the tires when traction is broken is more refined, and in my headphones I can hear the corner/side losing grip. Maybe was here all along, but noticed this immediately.
