Fixes
changedFor this update, we have completely ripped out the old Chromium-based (CEF) web UI engine and replaced it with a lightning-fast, custom-built native UI renderer (RmlUi). What does this mean for you? A dramatically smoother, crisper, and more responsive experience both in the menus and on the track.
removed🏎️ Blazing Fast Performance By removing the heavy background web browser, we've freed up a massive amount of RAM and CPU overhead. The entire UI is now hardware-accelerated and rendered natively on your GPU. Say goodbye to menu micro-stutters—navigating the garage and matchmaking is now buttery smooth.
changed🖥️ Flawless 1440p & 4K Scaling We've completely rewritten the scaling math. Whether you're playing on a 1080p monitor or a massive 4K display, the UI will now perfectly and proportionally scale to your native resolution, ensuring that text is razor-sharp and panels are properly sized.
added✨ Upgraded Visuals & Glassmorphism Because the UI now talks directly to Engine's rendering pipeline, we've enabled beautiful native graphical effects that just weren't possible before. You'll notice stunning glass-like background blurs (glassmorphism) behind menus and soft, ambient glowing effects on buttons and HUD elements.
fixedSpectator HUD: Fixed a bug where the spectator overlay would appear for a split-second and then fade away when directly joining a match as a spectator.
fixedMenu Alignment: Fixed various panel alignment and margin issues across the pause menu, scoreboard, and settings screens.
