### Smoother Rides All Around — v1.1.4b Performance Update & Marble Circuit (BETA)
Hey Drivers,
We’ve just pushed update v1.1.4b live to Steam!
This patch is all about under-the-hood horsepower!
──────
### 🚀 What's New & Optimized in v1.1.4b
• 🏎 Marble Circuit Promoted to (BETA):
• Marble Circuit has graduated to BETA status!
• Native AI Steering & Apex Trajectory: All 16 AI rivals now evaluate 3D spline
curvatures, inside-apex lines, slipstream draft angles, and braking thresholds in a
dedicated native C++ solver. Cornering packs are tighter and more competitive than
ever.
• 👾 ANG.BALLS Bullet Hell Solver (C++):
• Offloaded formation dance oscillation math (Vortex breathing circles, Serpent
slithers, and Flying-V wedges) directly into SIMD-accelerated C++.
• Fast spatial partition testing for rapid-fire turbo lasers and alien fleets during
heavy swarm waves.
• 🛣 ARCADE RACER Highway Traffic Batcher (C++):
• Native multi-drone proximity solver handling forward-following radar, adaptive
cruise braking, and lateral highway nudging. High-density traffic stages with 14+
cars on screen now run at locked frame rates.
• 🧱 Brick Breaker Penetration Physics (C++):
• Native AABB collision detection with precise multi-axis penetration depth
resolution for ultra-crisp corner deflections and unstoppable fireball runs.
• 🌃 Skyline Batching & Rendering Cleanups:
• Streamlined skyscraper color overrides and day/night transitions in Endless &
Story modes, completely eliminating per-frame scene tree traversal.
