Hot Issues 🔥

• There is unprecedented server load this weekend! This may result in the “join event” button taking longer to get sent.

  • There are some races failing to start, we are monitoring it over Le Mans weekend

• There are some known crashes occuring between sessions on race servers – we will need to patch this

• Some players are unable to connect to all servers – you may need to add port 6398 to your router port forwarding rules

• Some plugins are causing problems with the UI, frame rate and HUD pit menu – please disable or remove them until fixed by their maintainers

• “No vehicle” on the server -this is now mostly fixed, there are some edge cases, and we would welcome tracelogs & in-game names with what race & time you particpated, in #community-support on discord

• 0% tyres – seems to be related to non-limited-tyres events (ie. unlimited) – we have temporarily added tyre limits even for daily race beginners but are monitoring

• Liveries are not uploading – please try again if it fails to appear

• Crash as soon as launching the game – fixed for most players with Hotfix 3 – if it still does not work for you, please try deleting dx11_config.ini in Le Mans Ultimate/User Data

• Unable to load race history/previous results in profile

• Letting practice & qualifying sessions end “naturally” in Race Weekend results in the game becoming stuck to that session. Advance to the next session early to avoid this.

• Daily Race UI is showing all next races as S0 entry when they are not.

• Unable to register – attempted fix for Hotfix 3 – “Reduced event time out so players can register for next event 5 minutes after race starts”. Workaround where necessary is to restart the game.

• Intel ARC users may have trouble – this has been reported and they are aware. Last stable driver that some users might have luck with is 32.0.101.6557/6262

Custom liveries

• Please ensure you refer to the Custom Livery Guide

• Known issues

  • Custom flake colour sets incorrectly

• As designed and implemented at this time

  • This is only implemented to be used in Online sessions but Race Weekend is intended to be have this available in future

  • Custom liveries do not work in sessions where you are not pre-registered before the server starts. For example, liveries will not display in practice sessions and hosted servers without pre-registration. In this case your car will be displayed as carbon

  • Car numbers are currently not functioning and all cars will show as “397” but this will be updated in future

  • Custom liveries can only be accessed via the Teams but you can make a Team for just one person

  • All players can use the livery showroom but an active RaceControl Pro or Pro+ subscription is required to upload and use a custom livery online

  • For team races, the Team Owner is required to have an active RaceControl Pro or Pro+ subscription but even Lite users will be able to drive a custom livery in this case.

  • Custom liveries are uploaded to RaceControl and are unavailable until processed. In most cases this is expected to be around 10 minutes but may take longer in busy periods or if we experience – we will review this. You will receive a notification in game when this is finished processing

  • When viewing the livery display page, make sure you select the correct team from the drop-down box in the top-right

  • Full known issues to be added closer to the first event

• Le Mans Ultimate is only supported on Windows machines that meet the minimum requirements. Mac, Linux and Steamdeck are unsupported

• “Failed to allocate a section of memory” – Windows page file being too small can cause memory usage issue particularly for users with less RAM. Please see Common Fixes

  • New – some fixed setup parameters are not fixed in races where fixed setups are applied

  • In practice and qualifying sessions, if a user joins after you they will be displayed in a temporary car. This is currently a Porsche 911 GTE regardless of category.
