Patch - v1.0.5

Hello Riders,

Greetings from sunny Berlin! We hope you’re all doing well!

We just released Version 1.0.5. for Steam and Xbox.

The most important changes are the new display settings which should also fix a lot of reported performance problems. Display settings don’t get reset anymore, and we added an optional frame rate rate limit to reduce GPU usage, support for variable refresh rates, monitor selection and more.

There are also a lot of other smaller fixes and changes concerning the multiplayer and the UI in general. Have a look at the full patch log if you want to know more.
