Very good. Hope to fix more problems and update the beta to the official service as soon as possible. Thank you

Any update on when these changes could roll into the Live branch?

Is there a list of known issues still being worked on?

Sounds like good progress is being made to make this live soon. Hoping PC gets it this week as long as it doesn't make anything worse.

What about steering wheels? Many wheels still doesn't work

After latest patch, now my G29 is broken..need to go to settings and randomly assign a key first, then it reverts back to custom setting

@Jellyfoosh after patch can"t choose any wheel anymore other then custom
Jumps from G29 back to custom

Report: Can't click through wheel presets. Neither left nor right button
is working. Windows 10.

Dear @Jellyfoosh
could you please consider to show all
(keyboard) key bindings in SETTINGS/CONTROLS.

"1" to change camera is missing.

Also in the tutorial:
Show a tip how to switch to cockpit view
as long as this button is not revealed.

It is of course now very nice that I have patched so quickly, unfortunately my Wheel G29 is no longer functioning ... pity. Hopefully another hotfix will be added soon. !!!!!
Also cannot set axes and buttons. Resetting all settings does not work either. G29 is completely not recognized. Has functioned well in the 5.3.

I'm also seeing the problem with wheel presets. Can't even change back to custom preset with the arrows. Have to reassign a key to get it back.

At least the exit crash is now fixed. So one step forward, one step back.

@Jellyfoosh What is the point of the wheel presets anyway? Does anyone use them? I think most people like to customize the buttons on their wheel, myself included. I could use the preset for my wheel that the game now forces on me, but I don't want to. The buttons are not assigned the way I'm used to them. I'd much rather have no wheel presets and have the game allow us to set our own buttons and remember them, like MudRunner did. Why take a formula that worked and make it worse?

+1. It's not just the camera key that's missing from the shown key bindings. There's a lot of hardcoded bindings that we can't change. And some of them you can change, but then it breaks other functionality that relies on the original hardcoded binding.

@Unster

I use the preset and it's great to have one, if you don't want to can just key-binding by yourself

@Agnolini I'm absolutely fine with the preset (G29).

"Localization" fixes are usually one of the last things to happen before software is finished. Given all the localization fixes, does this indicate that this update is possibly the last test update before release to production? A release candidate version?

any ETA on the COOP not working on the same router ?

OK, so some of you like it. I don't have a problem with the presets as long as they don't interfere with my custom bindings. In this case they do. A little more testing would go a long way.

@Orzark THIS oh so very much THIS!
