Patch - v1.0.5

Hello Riders,

Greetings from sunny Berlin! We hope you’re all doing well!

We just released Version 1.0.5. for Steam and Xbox.

The most important changes are the new display settings which should also fix a lot of reported performance problems. Display settings don’t get reset anymore, and we added an optional frame rate rate limit to reduce GPU usage, support for variable refresh rates, monitor selection and more.

There are also a lot of other smaller fixes and changes concerning the multiplayer and the UI in general. Have a look at the full patch log if you want to know more.

Changes:

Fixes

• Critical: Fixed bug that reverted display settings on every restart.
• Critical: Fixed a bug that players were stuck on "Initialize Graphics” after the latest patch when they had turned off the imposter generation.
• Critical: Fixed various level loading issues that lead to endless loading screens in multiplayer.
• Critical: Fixed level not loading when the ghost file got corrupted. We are still unsure how the ghost files get corrupted though and added more logging to better understand the issue in the future.
