Forza Motorsport has put out update 18 and we’ve got the full patch notes.
In a blog post today Turn 10 Studios has given a full patch notes list for Forza Motorsport’s Update 18:
Game Improvements and Release Notes
Forza Motorsport Update 18 rolls out for download starting Monday, March 10 on Xbox Series X|S and PC via the Microsoft Store and Steam. Spotlight cars and new in-game events will begin on Wednesday, March 12 starting at 5:00 PM PT (12:00 AM UTC on Thursday, March 13).
- We’ve made improvements to Multiplayer matchmaking services in Forza Motorsport with the intended effect of improving population of lobbies. We recently tested these changes with participants in our Forza Insiders Program and are now rolling them out to all players with Update 18.
- For some HDR displays, the game would automatically configure its HDR Brightness value below 1,000 nits which made the highlights in the image look flat and clamped. The fix prevents the game from automatically configuring the value below 1,000 even if the display metadata reports that its peak luminance is under 1,000.
- Increased race duration of ‘Short’ length races from 8 minutes to 10 minutes in Featured Multiplayer. Also, we’ve updated the Event schedule timing for ‘Short’ and ‘Medium’ length races to slightly increase the amount of time between races based on player feedback.
- We’ve enabled the Lap counter in the HUD during Timed Races, which includes Practice as well as Multi-Class Races for easier lap tracking. In addition, Last Lap / Best Lap has also been enabled in the HUD during Timed and Multi-Class Races.
