Patch Update - 0.1.38.7e

What’s new

• Quick Race (Single Player) You can now dive into a local multiplayer session with a single click bots included, no setup required. Speed over ceremony.

• Better Bot Awareness The result screen now ignores AI when counting players. Because bots don’t wait politely—why should you?

• Car Respawn Rework We’ve completely overhauled the car respawn system with a new system. It’s smarter, faster, and more respectful of personal space (i.e., no more spawning on top of each other).

• Button Smash Fix Menu buttons now chill out after you press them—cooldowns have been added to prevent accidental double-pressing in the heat of a race.

Improvements

• Camera & UI

  • Fixed camera FOV for 4:3 aspect ratio.

  • Adjusted intro cam angles.

  • UI layout fixes for widescreens.

• Settings & Performance

  • UI now only shows width x height (bye refresh rates).

  • SSAO toggle actually does something now.

  • Anti-aliasing properly applies 8x MSAA.

  • Shadow settings revamped to use URP’s realtime properties.

• Audio

  • Bounce sounds no longer ignore master volume.

  • Button sounds moved to the proper SFX group.

  • Crowd noise fixed on Sedna track.

• Scene Transitions

  • Client readiness tracking during scene load—less waiting, fewer bugs.

  • The game no longer stalls if the host disappears during car selection.

Fixes

• 🐞 Fixed car explosion on launchpad.

• 🐞 Fixed rematch buttons not enabling when bots are still racing.

• 🐞 Fixed chat messages duplicating across server/clients.

• 🐞 Fixed “waiting for players” logic to count only real humans.
