The network version has been updated!
Mouse Navigation:
This release adds support for mouse controls. To enable mouse mode, set your controller to Keyboard / Mouse and configure controls as usual. You should be able to map controls to mouse axes, buttons and wheel along with keyboard keys. Steering sensitivity is currently hard coded to default deadzone and range settings, but this may change in the future.
Car Camera Options:
For car authors, there are new keys to be configured in the CAMATTACHED parameters section. The hood view and rear view cameras can now be either fixed to the car (the current and default behavior) or allowed to move freely. The look and position behavior can be tweaked separately. The options affect both hood and rear cameras at once.
Code: Select all

Texture Compression:
There is now support for storing textures in compressed format. To enable this, set CompressTextures = 1 in rvgl.ini. The only supported format is currently S3TC (the DXT5 variant), which requires a special OpenGL extension.
Online Improvements:
- Support for centralized network mode (-nop2p) has improved. Certain weapons like bomb and electro pulse are handled by the server which should result in better gameplay under high latency conditions. Further, lagging / inactive cars (those found blinking) have collisions disabled.
- Session log file now specifies the network mode (P2P / Centralized) and player type (Server / Client) in the CSV header.
- New command lines added: -savereplays to automatically save Multi-Player replays (#520), and -showping to view ping info with Left Ctrl + Numpad Enter.
- Force Feedback support should be working now in Multi-Player and Spectator mode.
- Skins in Random Cars mode are synchronized properly between players. (#319)
- Controller config experience has improved and it should now avoid triggering rear view / camera change while configuring those keys. "Set controls to default" has been moved into the config menu for quicker access.
- Support has improved for older graphics chips. The minimum requirement for running RVGL has reduced to OpenGL 1.1. It is ensured that rvgl.ini is always created in case there was a video error, which makes it easier to switch to the legacy renderer on new installations.
- Shader Renderer: Better optimized for more than 10 level textures and improved memory management.
- Bullet point (•) now renders properly (includes updated font file).
- Replay files now save car skins info. Note though that replays saved with the previous version are no longer compatible.
- Numpad Enter can now be used in the menus. (#481)
- Shader: Fixed a glitch with semi-transparent meshes (eg, the waterfall in Ranch).
- Shader: Uniform Buffer Objects support should be more stable on some GPUs.
- Android: Car selection screen is improved for Portrait mode.
- Fixed missing instances at Create Profile screen.
- Prevent greyed out 'Unknown' resolution in Video Settings.
- Fixed Time Trial 'beaten' progress not saved for custom tracks in some cases.
- Fixed level search filter still active in Best Times menu. (#533)
- Online: Ensure random cars and tracks option is saved on going back to lobby. (#529)
- Several fixes for saved replays support.
