Forza Motorsport 4 Patch

Turn 10 has patched Forza Motorsport 4 to raise the level cap from 150 to 999, sort out a bug that caused slow menu navigation and tweaked the performance index of 38 cars.

Here's what Dan Greenawalt the creative director had to say:

"Essentially what was happening was a slow memory leak when using liveried cars and jumping between lobbies."

"The leak was only happening when players driving liveried cars would join or leave lobbies at precisely the right moment during the loading of a race. The leak occurred on all boxes even if the player didn't have a custom livery, but it was exceedingly small. As the leak got worse over the course of a player's session, it would cause the box to crash."

"This resulted in longer load times for everyone else in the lobby with that player as his crashed box timed-out. Unfortunately, the problem was made worse when players would go from one lobby to the next after becoming impatient with loading times, thus essentially 'spreading' the memory leak from one lobby to the next."
