Steam DRM - IDP.Generic - please tell AVAST and post here

[purdisc]

Hi all - with our Steam DRM we have noticed that AVAST flags Formula Fusion as “IDP.Generic”. Clearly this is a False Positive but if you experience this please could you post on this thread and report it to AVAST.

Thanks for the clue with Avast. I couldn't install the game :(( I tried many times..then I saw this post. After disabling AVAST I was able to play....

Known Issues:

• disabling billboards via settings in a race requires a level travel to activate.

• slight stutter when first navigating the team select menu in the campaign.
  
• rare crash when navigating the tutorial section of the main menu.
  
• incredibly rare crash when changing map, possibly related to turning on and off billboards.

[Nexus Furyan]

Thank you!!!

[KG_03]

Its really fantastic that the game is evolving. Thank you for your work and that you didnt abandon the game 😊

[megatimus_prime]

Well, time to use that paid leave.

[megatimus_prime]

Only played for a couple of hours, I'm really loving the new lightings.
It's hard to describe, I can feel that each tracks now have really distinct atomosphere to them, must be something in the air!
And it's great to see Midtown finally got a proper grandstand, I hope those spectators don't get all radioactive afterwards.

New cosmetic parts are also welcome addition, I hope to see a lots more in the future.
I wonder if they actually have any effects to ship's collision model tho.

Oh don't worry, there's no risk of radiation - the populace was wiped by gas bombings.

That's even more depressing...
I guess such is the grim future of AG renaissance.

The startup time is massively improved! I even have this on an old 2.5" drive and it starts up really fast after the new update. Very nice!

[GTCv Deimos]
