Beta

Beta Version	Release Date	Updates and changes
1.42.0.53	Oct 16, 2021	We still work on Convoy, refining and polishing under cover FFB LUT tables for: DFGT, T150
1.42.0.48	Oct 14, 2021	Problem description We have updated how mods checksum are calculated in session browser Previous solution After opening convoy screen we calculated checksums for ALL mods. There was a blocking screen showing calculation progress. New solution After convoy screen is opened, checksums are calculated on background, while player can browse server list. Lobbies with mods that are not yet calculated have new animated icon. It should shop animating when processing id done. Selected lobbies with mods that are not yet calculated have new description for such mod - "processing". It should change to "installed" or "wrong version" when processing id done. Mods for selected lobby should be calculated with higher priority. Each frame gives 40ms to calculate mods, will lower UI FPS. Only after confirming lobby creation, there will be blocking screen with progress and only active mods will be calculated. Changed UI of Mod sync window. All of your active mods should be on the left, not just mods which have to be unmounted (previous) + some icon/visual changes. Something specific to test: Host session, cancel the hosting and start the hosting process again with a lot of mods. Test that modded sessions in session browser are correctly updating (no visual or other problems) with a lot of different sessions - we weren't able to test it on more than one session.
1.42.0.31	Oct 10, 2021	There is remake show / not show Convoy sessions by profile. -> means: if your profile has MODs you will see sessions with MODs as default if your profile doesnt has MODs, you will se only vanilla sessions in default options and dc_mack_anthem: fixed hood position and mirror locators
