Redout 1.7.2 Patch Notes

The "VR IS BACK!" Update

General

• Added launch option to run the game with either DirectX11 or DirectX12. We aren’t great at math, but assumed 12 was better than 11.

• Fixed frame rate dependency during wall grinding. You can now consistently grate your face there.

• Reduced frame rate dependency on wall bouncing.

• Frame rate limit is now correctly applied on game start.

• Adjusted field of view on third person camera modes to match its original value.

• Ghost barriers are no joke! We made sure one of them on Floating Falls was alive and kicking.

• Fixed issues with DLCs being sometimes not recognized.

• Crashing ship on a boss portal frame no longer teleports the ship ahead on the track.

• Added more friends to the credits.

Multiplayer

• Fixed multiplayer crash for clients when a host quits from the race while clients are viewing their race time.

• Players no longer get dragged into post-race track cameras right after the host has finished the race.

• Fixed an issue with hosts not being able to change gamemode after failing to join a lobby via matchmaking.

Leaderboards

• Cleaned up leaderboards from nasty cheaters.

UI

• Restart option in the pause menu is no longer enlarged after the first restart. We swear we didn’t click any suspicious ads!

• After a restart, the selected row in options in the pause menu wasn’t properly highlighted. Painted it yellow. Yellow is nice.

• Fullscreen mode couldn’t have been applied from options in the pause menu. Now it can.

Visuals

• Fixed portal particles being weirdly truncated.

• Silosed silos on Cairo - Calima. Now it’s siloser. Silos are nice.

• Reduced opaqueness of some track pieces on Europa. Transparency is less nice.

• Removed strange orange light flickering on the ship on almost every part of Neptune tracks. Orange is really not nice.

• Turned the lights on on P-AR219. Party time’s over!

• Lightened up pitch-black underground areas in Rotorua. Or, you now have night vision. We don’t know exactly.

• On some parts of the outside sections of Rotorua, sunlight was very dim. Removed local solar eclipse. Enjoy sunbathing, don’t forget the sunscreen.

VR

• Enabled again!

• Ported VR accessibility for Oculus Rift to the newest version.

• Fixed a glitched background that was occasionally displayed during loading screens.

• Fixed an issue that caused the host to be unable to move during online multiplayer.

• Fixed an issue that was causing the lobby menu to disappear after an online race.

Known Issues

• Credits scroll down in non-constant speed.

• When playing on VR, UI elements related to opponents can be displayed twice on screen
