Blur Beta Fixes

Making the roads a safer place for us all
Tweaking is afoot in the Bizarre Creations studios, as Blur, their first racer after PGR gets a few spanners pulled out of the beta test.

Fixes include the following;

• Bandwidth - Optimisations which reduce the amount of traffic being sent around the network, thus reducing any lag problems.
• Stability - Fixes for rare 'Dirty Disc' errors and rare game crashes.
• Connectivity - Prevent players trying to get into lobbies when they won't be able to see everybody, improving matchmaking times.
• Disconnects - We now show more informative messages when players are disconnected from game sessions.
• Host Migration - Fixed occasional random disconnects when migrating to a new host.
• Split Lobbies - Reduced the frequency of 'split lobbies' which were occurring occasionally.

So those of you in the test should be seeing an update soon. For the full rundown of what to expect, head to http://bizarrecreations.com/article.php?article_id=5368

As well as fixes, the level cap has been raised, so more content can be unlocked. Once again, head over to http://bizarrecreations.com/article.php?article_id=5368 for more information.
