ROLLER VR 1.0.0 (Windows, SteamVR)

Version 1.0 of ROLLER VR for Windows (SteamVR / OpenXR): the whole game in a headset, with the VR OPTIONS page from 0.2.0 and the latest upstream ROLLER.

You need your own copy of Whiplash / Fatal Racing; the zip contains no game data. Put the contents of the disc's FATDATA folder in a folder called fatdata next to roller-vr.exe, start SteamVR, then run RUN-VR.bat. README-VR.txt in the zip has the controls and troubleshooting.

New in 1.0.0

• Upstream ROLLER merged up to commit 095f1d9: 11 commits since 0.2.0. They fix two crashes (switching the audio output device while playing, #307; loading a saved championship, #306), round track angles like the original game, and stop Space from switching the car set on the car select screen.
• The README now describes 1.0.

Everything from 0.2.0 is unchanged: head-tracked stereo view, menus and HUD in the headset, controller driving, the VR OPTIONS page in the pause menu (comfort vignette, HUD layouts), the screenshot shortcut (both thumbstick clicks) and quitting with View + Menu held for 2 seconds.

If something looks wrong, open an issue and attach roller-vr.log from next to the exe.
