Supercar Challenge Patch Is Ready

If you want a deep, hardcore (and exclusive) PS3 racing simulation this year then your only port of call is System3′s Supercar Challenge, a game we scored 9/10 in our review. Since the review a number of minor bugs have surfaced, but thankfully the developers are on the case and have readied a patch which should be available soon. So, what’s fixed? Well, a few price tweaks, some odd AI issues and a few Trophy adjustments, thus:

- The starting point of the 430 Scuderia in the Invitational race has been moved which means the car now behaves properly at the beginning of the race.
- Each Invitational race now uses a scripted difficulty value rather then a dynamic one which makes it more progressive.
- Incorrect configuration of the Thrustmaster 3-in-1 wheel when using either manual or semi-automatic gears.
- Livery disappearing if applied to a newly purchased car without leaving the showroom.
- Loading more than one saved livery without leaving the showroom caused the livery to become corrupt.
- Price of the F50 GT corrected to 140K
- Increased the maximum allowed scale on some vinyl groups.
- 512m renders correctly.
- Gear indicator freezing on the interior view.
- Racing line changing in an Invitational race when the TC setting was adjusted.
- Speedo being frozen sometimes.
- Stage 1 Objective, “Finish a lap in 5th place or above without losing position”.
- Stage 5 Invitational, 550GT Challenge start point amended.
- Trophies where damage on the results screen is shown as zero and not awarded.
- Shopaholic trophy.
- Mont Tremblant turn 8 leaves moved.
- Unable to mute players sometimes.
- On-line wins, podiums and races played stats sometimes don’t update.
- Cursor going out of sync in the lobby and unable to view player stats / view incorrect player stats.
- Added extra penalty zones to Silverstone Southern.
- Race invites in French and Spanish.
- A.I. bunching in to corners.
- Improved A.I. braking on the straights when near other cars.
- A.I. driving off the track in random places.
- General difficulty of the A.I. re-balanced.
- Up and Coming and the Bound for Glory trophy Italian translations.
