Automobilista 2 1.6.6.2 update adds MP reset change and recent-content fixes

We’ve got a small but important Automobilista 2 update in the official 1.6.6.2 announcement. It focuses on follow-up fixes and improvements for recently released content, plus one notable multiplayer change: vehicle reset has been temporarily disabled in MP sessions. The update also ends the free trial period for the new DLC content, which is now limited to owners.

This is another complementary update to the latest release with a few more fixes improvements primarily to the recently released content. With this update we have temporarily disabled the reset button in MP sessions at least for the time being as it was a source of problems in a MP environment - longer term the goal is to both improve the functionality so reset cannot be abused or cause problems with cars spawning on the way of incoming traffic, and make it optional for hosts to disable it altogether if that´s how they prefer to run their session. This update also wraps the free trial period for the contents of the new DLCs, which are now restricted to those who own them. V1.6.6.2 CHANGELOG
