@Sata
Thanks for the update. I used to yawn with each update but after the April RSC update I guess anything is possible. As long as we can revert we should be fine, I hope.

imo the most important thing is a good handling, first and foremost. Good grip levels and realistic slip angle.

Then, I'd say a realistic torque curve and gear ratios bring you 90% of the vehicle's simulation

I like ARS on a challenging realistic track, and always enjoy Nordschleife if just hotlapping.

I just found out:
update/update.rpf/common/data/materials/materials.dat

I think I remember something about bullets piercing stuff from some mod I've used, that was probably when I swapped this file

I don't use oivs to install, I'll just pick whatever I want from mods, so I have bits of lots and lots of mods and won't be able to track the source, but restoring vanilla materials.dat solved the issue

@Sata yup annoying af esp after adding in new ones

ok I figured out about mpsecurity, I shamely had one rpf missing in dlc folder.

yet no success on last update cars, their config files are insanely long, I am fairly sure I got everything needed to make them work, still the same issue, cars spawn, they seem to lack some textures, game will crash on getting inside them, if anyone succeeded importing drug wars new cars please let me know

@drlq99 great, I would be happy with a lot less, there goes another 5 stars

@Sata To be honest with you, I only read about these issues. I reverted back to version 2372 awhile back which means my game is frozen in time and can't break.
I've installed new maps and other addons without any issues, so there isn't any reason for me to upgrade, particularly since i don't go online.
It's sad, but each update breaks something and introduces new variables. Proper solutions are hard to find but there are usually workarounds.

But to get back to your title, I don't see how it is possible for going online to break anything. Going online, does not modify your game and ofc you can't go online without disabling dinput8.dll. What may have happened is that you just noticed issues after going online. Don't know...
