After several months of development, testing and bug fixing, update 1.9 has finally been released to the public branch! Here is a summary of the changes:
Translations
In addition to English and German, we have translated the game into 12 new languages:
- Arabic
- Bengali
- French
- Hindi
- Japanese
- Korean
- Polish
- Portuguese
- Russian
- Simplified Chinese
- Spanish
- Ukrainian
Since a lot of translations were automated and not reviewed by us or the community yet, we expect there to be a few issues remaining. We will continue to work on improving the translations over time.
Crash Reporter and Bug Tracker
If Brick Rigs crashes, a crash reporter window will now appear. You can choose to send us crash reports, including optional additional information. We have also created a bug tracker using GitHub Issues, available here. These improvements will help us find and fix bugs (especially crashes) more efficiently and effectively than before.
Linux Support
With update 1.9, we are launching the first native Linux version of Brick Rigs. Our goal is to improve performance and stability by avoiding compatibility layers such as Proton or Wine.
AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution Support
We have added AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution (FSR) as an alternative for systems that do not support NVIDIA DLSS. Like DLSS, FSR renders the game at a lower resolution and then upscales the image to the final output resolution. This can boost frame rates with minimal impact on image quality.
