Pre-release - players on 0.97.0 aren't told about it. On 0.97.1 with "Get pre-release updates" on, the game offers it.

New

  • Install any version: pre-release builds can now install any published version, newer or older (F1 -> Home -> Updates -> "Install a specific version"). Your saves, settings, ghosts and music stay.
  • Send my log: having problems? F1 -> Home -> Problems? -> "Send my log" sends port.log (this run and the one before), settings.ini, your PC's parts (CPU, graphics card + driver, RAM, monitor) and a note to the developer. Windows user names and network addresses are blanked, and a copy is kept in the reports folder.
  • Record performance details (same place, off by default): a debug option for slowdowns. It times every frame (the game's code, drawing, the graphics card) and writes a summary to port.log every 10 s, so a report shows whether the PC or the port is the bottleneck. Turn it on, play a race where it's slow, then send your log.
  • Sharper car pictures on your profile: your car's turntable picture is now 24 angles at 384×216 (was 12 at 192×108), framed closer, so it turns smoothly and looks clean on the leaderboard website and on profile cards in game. It's made again the next time you load into a race; pictures from players on older versions still show as before.

Fixes

  • No more missing bumpers / wheels from impossible parts: a garage car set to a part it has no model for (from an edited save or an older test build) raced with that part missing - no bumper, no wing, even no wheels - while the menus showed stock. Such parts now go back to Stock automatically (your driver file is fixed too), and they can't be fitted any more.

Everything from v0.97.1 is included (Garage with 3D preview, any tyres on any car, leaderboard website link, pre-release channel / "Go back to the stable version").

Update in game with "Update now", or download the zip below (put your ISO next to the launchers).
