New Features
- English support: The game's text, themes, horse names, and commentary subtitles are now available in English (the commentary voice is still in Japanese). Switch languages from "Language" (言語) on the title screen; the change takes effect after restarting the game. On first launch, the language is chosen to match your Steam language setting.
- Reactions on the results screen: You can now send reactions from the results screen too, just below "Everyone's Hits" (みんなの的中).
- New reactions: Added 6 new reactions to the store: "Nice name" (いい名前), "Powerful name" (名前が強い), "Which one!?" (どっちだ！？), "Great spot!" (いい位置！), "Interesting…" (おもしろい), and "Wait for it" (まだ我慢). ¥5,000 each.
Improvements
- Improved matchmaking in Random Match.
- Photo finish slow-motion replays now play in Nonstop Mode (ノンストップモード) too.
- The results table is now wider and shows each horse's running style (脚質).
- After launching the game, the title screen now shows what's new in the current version once.
- Other minor UI improvements.
Changes
- Races in Random Match are now shorter.
- Horse names and themes can now be twice as long when written in half-width letters and numbers (Japanese limits are unchanged: 9 characters for names and 12 for themes).
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug where, on some systems, the game showed no picture or crashed right after launch. The game now automatically switches to a different graphics mode on the next launch.
- Fixed a bug where, in races with 3 or fewer horses, the data used to recover the race after a crash wasn't saved.
Note
This update changes how the game communicates online, so players on v1.4.0 can't share a room with players on older versions. If you're having trouble joining, make sure everyone has updated to the latest version.
