Weekly Update #23 (v0.1.23.3) - Lobby Reconnect System & Offline TT Record Fix

🚨 Lobby Reconnect System + Ghost Improvements Update 🚨

We’ve just rolled out a new update focused on multiplayer stability, ghost system improvements, and another batch of overall quality-of-life fixes :)

🔌 Lobby Reconnect System (NEW)

We’ve added a reconnect feature to help keep you in the online lobby.

If your connection drops, you’ll now have a 30-second window to rejoin the lobby instead of being kicked immediately. Other players will also see when someone is reconnecting, allowing them to wait or start the match.

👻 Major Ghost Fixes & Improvements

• Fixed ghost players appearing in Race mode after playing Time Trial on the same track, which could prevent item pickups from working.

• Personal Record ghosts now load directly from your local save instead of unnecessarily downloading from the server.

• Personal Record ghosts now work offline, no more leaderboard error when you already have a saved record.

• Player input is now fully locked during ghost downloads to prevent track selection errors.

• Custom character particles are now properly hidden on ghost karts while standard effects remain visible.

• Fixed ghost players briefly appearing at the start of Grand Prix Time Trial races.

• Ghost gameplay settings now only appear in Single Player Time Trial.

• Fixed ghost voice lines playing in non-Time Trial modes after leaving Time Trial.

• Ghost download prompts now appear immediately when required.

🏁 Gameplay & Balance

• Increased the cooldown to prevent rapid stacking of boosts from adjacent pads.

• Reduced boost pad voice-over delay from 10 seconds to 3 seconds at race start.

🧠 UI & Mode Fixes

• AI opponents are now correctly disabled in Duo Time Trial mode.

• Added missing screen titles for Credits, Guide, Duels, Clans, Mods, and Daily Hub.

As always, thank you for playing, and we’ll see you on the track! 🏎️💨
