The R2V team hereby thank everyone for their responses to the demo.
First, thank everyone for supporting downloading the game and providing feedback and opinions. It provided us with valuable and helpful information, highlighting blind spots we have overlooked, which the R2V team is very grateful for.
Regarding the comments received, allow us to respond to some of the questions :
UI is complex and unfriendly.
- The UI used in the demo is not the finalised design for the game. It was made for the early offline demo in September. The UI is converted from our development tools to make it easier for players to operate the game. The official version of UI/UX will be launched in a later version.
Difficulty and incompatibilities in setting the wheel/controller
- The team has arranged to redesign the “Settings” page.
- Since the team could not arrange all testing models on the market. We are analysing the collected LOG data to make compatibility updates for various brands of steering wheels and drivers.
- Some players reported that they could use the PlayStation controller after installing the DS4Windows (Note. Please assess the risk in using third-party software).
Difficult to drive
- The team initially wanted players to experience the level of road simulation developed. We decided to use a car with a stiffer suspension and a lower body for players to “feel” the unevenness and slope of a real road (especially the textures of white lines), which eventually led to many players expressing that “It is too difficult to control”. The team apologises for the inconvenience, and it is recommended not to go “flat out" for the time being.
- The team will update the game as soon as possible to provide vehicles more suitable for the daily driver so that everyone can enjoy the joy of driving at Tai Mo Shan.
- Some ground roadwork will be corrected in the next update.
FPS drop and high hardware demand.
We recognise the “Settings” page needs to be clearer and is currently a bit user-unfriendly. Players cannot enjoy the game to the full extent and may experience lag. We found A few leading causes and solutions:
- The resolution of the demo follows Window settings. This means if your native monitor resolution is set to 4K, the game will automatically be set to 4K. If the lag persists, try to set the computer's native resolution to 1080P before starting the game.
- Incompatible/unsupported steering wheels may cause high GPU usage.
It is recommended to disconnect the steering wheel and reset the game to test whether lag occurs. If the game loads smoothly and the lagging issue is gone. Then, adjust and lower the FFB settings of the steering wheel. If the lagging persists, please check on the official Discord channel for further updates.
DEMO Launch at 30th Oct (GMT+8)
Due to the lack of experience in using the steam platform for the launch, The team took more time to understand and apply the relevant SDK. Thanks to the platform for clearly pointing out the problem with the upload file so that we can fix the problem with greater precision. This mistake also made us understand the process of updating the program. Similar issues will be avoided for the trial play/BETA/official launch.
The demo will be available for download at 8:00 pm on October 30th. The team is also preparing tutorials for everyone to understand different control settings (Keyboard/controller/and simulators); please pay attention to the official social platform update and STEAM page announcement.
After completing the demo, players can scan the QR code to answer a simple questionnaire to provide us with valuable feedback. The team will give players who complete the questionnaire a specially designed livery playable in the official version to thank all the player's active participation in our project.
We apologise again for the delayed release, and thank you for your support and love!

Known Issues:
Connecting the steering wheel and the controller to the computer at the same time will result in incorrect key recognition in the game. If the player has not reset all the keys, both may cannot be used. We recommend that you select one of the two to connect to the computer before starting the game.
For direct drive steering wheels, we suggest players to set the FFB frequency not higher then 125Hz.
We are experiencing some performance issues with certain direct drive steering wheels, such as Fanatec and Cammus. The issue will be fixed soon in the future updates.
