v0.6.9.0

Added

• New course: Miami!

Fixed

• Fixed a bug where timing info wouldn't show up when driving the Piston Unlimited.
• Tweaked server netcode a bit, should help with buoys, still not perfect.
• Fixed a bug where multiple Jump the gun penalties could be assessed.
• Spread boat texture loading across multiple frames to try and mitigate stutter when boats join the water.

@radinsky Thanks for the update, I'll try and sort this out before the next update.

@radinsky Hmmm, I haven't noticed this, but I can take a look. If you could figure out steps to reproduce that would be great.

Also, the game saves a log file that can help me track down issues sometimes. If this happens to you again, could you attach the log file here? You'll need to grab it after you exit the game, if you start the game again, it will get overwritten.

v0.6.6.0

Added

• 2 new courses added. Evansville (sort of an odd D shape) and Lake Havasu (Tri-Oval).

Fixed

• Made netcode interpolation smoother, fixed issues where the boat would completely stop due packet loss/delayed packets. The replays use the same interpolation code, so the replays should also be a bit smoother.
• Fixed some performance issues with global illumination and reflection probes (may see an fps increase). May also fix some frame stuttering issues.

Updated

• Updated the Crest water library to latest.
• Playing around with making the water rougher at Detroit.

This is mainly a scenery update. Lots of scenery added to Tri-Cities. Started adding buildings using real world data to multiple courses.

v0.6.5.1

Fixed

• Bug with runtime building generator causing CPU usage to spike (this was causing the server to choke and timing was getting out of whack on certain courses.)
• FPS network stats readout was spewing errors in host mode causing intermittent framerate drops.

7/10/2020 Dedicated Server Hotfix (same version number)

NOTE - If you're running a dedicated server, I recommend re-downloading the game, I updated the archive with a server hotfix for Detroit/Madison.

v0.6.5.0

Fixed

• Cloth physics was running for all levels of detail of the flag at Tri-Cities at the same time.
• Fog is now applied to the water shader.

Added

• Buildings generated using real world data for Tri-Cities, Madison, and Detroit.
• Added trees, cranes, towers, canopies, etc to Tri-Cities.
• Added secondary camera for rendering far away background objects (Mt Rainier, Rattlesnake Mt, downtown Detroit).
• Added additional graphics settings for setting the draw distance of buildings and course details. Setting either of these to 0 will disable rendering of these.

Updated

• Enabled terrain tessellation at Tri-Cities, Guntersville, and Seattle.

v0.6.4.0

Fixed

• Fixed an issue in the water shader that was causing a pretty huge performance hit.
• The exhaust guard on the turbine hydro hull was mapped to the wrong texture, it's now mapped to the Hull.dds
• Made roostertail length shorter to be more realistic.
• Fixed issue where roostertails would drift inwards in the turns.
• Fixed issues with roostertail physics.
• Fixed issue where boats would slide across the water when first spawning onto the course.
• Fixed a bug where the distance traveled along the race course was calculated using the center of the boat instead of the front. This was causing some issues with gun jumping penalties getting added for legal boats.
• Fixed an issue with the network stats in the ctrl+f debug display getting cutoff at certain resolutions.

Added

• Flags are now displayed on the HUD. This will help with awareness of penalties, start, last lap, finish, etc.
• Current position is now displayed on the HUD.
• Automated 1-minute pin penalties. The 1-minute pin is at the exit of turn 1 on all courses. This is disabled by default, but can be turned on in the server admin settings under Rules.
• New nose camera.

Updated

• Updated U-11 J&D's hull texture.
• Updated the cockpit graphics, mainly pulled some more models/textures from HydroMod and tried to clean it up.
