The big question on everybody’s lips then… when will it be released? Utilizing our own experience combined with the wealth of feedback from our community, and adhering to our scope of creating a fit for purpose, modern UI interface, we believe the results of our endeavours will very firmly speak for themselves once you all get your hands on the new build next week. Better performance: better frame rate than before (not final step).Better visibility: fewer pages and less scrolling and clearer categories.Simplification: fewer clicks, less mouse movement, consistent button placement.The four pillars of development applied to the creation of the 2022 UI update are as follows: Developed to help streamline and rationalize how a player interacts with the software, the 2022 UI update has been build by sim racers, for sim racers, and hopefully reflects how the majority of our new and existing player base will wish to interact with the various aspects of a title to the scale of rFactor 2. When creating this new 2022 UI update, we developed each change with four significant pillars in mind – taking into account how each aspect of the player journey would be experienced by both new and established users of the simulation. Event screen optimizations and user flow improvements.

The setup area has undergone a big update with clearer navigation, an easier layout and simplified user flow with fewer pages.The settings menu has undergone a big update with clearer navigation, an easier layout and simplified user flow with fewer pages.

Enhanced layout of every page to improve user flow and simplify interaction.

All single player related functionality brought together into one area with cross navigation from, and to, any page in this area in order for optimized user flow.

Main menu improvements for clearer navigation, more call to actions and an easier layout to understand for new users.

Brand-new audio and visual design across all pages.

Please note, these are just some areas of change, as this new build fundamentally affects the entirety of the rFactor 2 user journey – with some aspects of the new 2022 UI Update adding substantial changes and improvements over the existing UI release. With such a substantial rebuild of the entire rFactor 2 UI experience, below you will find a brief bullet point list of some of the key areas that have been improved or expanded upon within this new build.
