Interesting find http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/100/3470649.page#9668556

TL;DR PopcornFX currently stuck on Core 1 and if iRacing is also on Core 1, it'll stutter, assign iRacing to all but Core 1.

S2 Patch release notes:
http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/3475004.page

GT3 Changes (which look great) Looks like they also fixed that mercedes green glow which I was experiencing:

Not sure if they fixed the macca shadow issue. I can't tell from the release notes. A couple DX11 shadow issues were resolved. Not sure if they're the same thing.
