Heads-up to league runners: as per our usual Early Access schedule we´ll still have a couple of major update releases every other upcoming Friday. If you have a race tonight, you may want to check with the league admin whether you´ll be racing with the old v0.9.41 or this latest v0.9.6.

If a league doesn´t want to risk issues by racing with the new version (this one of the upcoming ones), you´ll have the option to stick to the current v0.9.41 until the event is finished. This can be done by right-clicking Automobilista on Steam -> Properties -> “BETA” tab, and selecting v0.9.41 from the drop-down box.

If AMS is updated automatically before you have the chance to do the above procedure, you can still revert to v0.9.41 by following the steps above (and then opt out of it once the race is over in order to update to the latest v0.9.6).

Leaving previous versions available in branches will be regular practice from now on – besides the scenario such as the above, having the option to go back to a previous version may also be helpful for users who encounter issues to help us isolate when they started so please keep it in mind.

If you are not running a league event on Friday’s or tonight specifically, you may ignore this and just let the game auto-update as usual.
