We've hopefully just skewered, squished and incinerated a massively frustrating bug that was disabling steering for some players.
If you were one of those people who experienced issues with the previous build, do let us know if this one now works fine!
If you're still experiencing issues, please use a different "beta" branch for GRIP on Steam called "v1.3.2". Here are the steps to do so:
In Steam, right click, go to properties
Navigate to the Betas tab
Enter this code: gripversion132
Select v1.3.2 from the dropdown
Let the game update and you should not be experiencing the input issues
We hope that none of you will need to revert back to the previous version, but there are the steps if necessary.
Apologies for the issues!
---------------------------------
Plenty more stuff coming. The next BIG patch includes multiple new racetracks as well as team racing and team deathmatch, plus some new garage DLC packs for each manufacturer. We're excited to unleash this stuff into GRIP.
Below are a couple nice pics in the meantime
