Note that keyboard and gamepad controls rebinding has been temporarily disabled to solve some controllers not working. This will be worked on in the future, thank you for you understanding.
Some players have also had difficulties configuring their wheels. This issue probably still remains unresolved. For the time being you can try validating your installation on Steam as this has helped some players.
Addressing feedback so far
Main takeaways from the negative reviews so far:
-Controls don't work or they are bad: this is being worked on right now. For the time being you can take a look into community discussions to see if other players have solved the same issues you are having.
-Loading times are long: this is also being worked on. Part of this is because of the player influx loading the servers, making the database tracks loading times longer but there's also room for optimizations.
-Bad performance: optimizations are constantly being worked on, expect this to improve in the near future.
-Multiplayer experience is bad: again, being worked on. Multiplayer was tested a lot during the testing phase but it's having hard time keeping up with the amount of players currently.
-AI is bad: this is a known issue and will be improved through the early access stage.
Thank you all for the feedback, both good and bad. Expect things to get fixed in the near future.
RaceLeague has released into Early Access
Seems that many of you are having issues with controllers. While I'm looking into the issues and working hard solving them, you might find solutions in the Discord server where others have faced similar issues.
Some of the features, such as the track database and multiplayer are experiencing quite heavy loads from the player influx, they might be performing slower than usual. I'm looking into this issue as well.

But of course some constructive criticism was also received, which is also much appreciated.
Main takeaways & things that you players seemed to struggle most with were:
