CTR Archipelago 0.2.1 is out. There's a lot since 0.2.0, so here's the quick list; the full release notes are on AP-Pie.

What changed since 0.2.0

  • Hit Character: optional checks for hitting each of the sixteen racers, with unlocked racers joining your races.
  • Slide Coliseum and Turbo Track: optional Trophy Races and CTR Challenges on both.
  • Cortex Vortex by Lockheart is the default track for Oxide's Final Challenge, and can optionally show up on a warp pad and in Gem Cups too.
  • Adventure tracker: a hub map with checks per destination, plus RACERS and ITEMS tabs, from Square or TRACKER in the hub pause menu.
  • Room links (Windows): click your slot's link on an Archipelago room page and the game opens and connects.
  • AP boxes: new crate look, colours by item type (can be turned off), and boxes in locked boss races and cup legs show as see-through instead of paying out.
  • Options: menu split into pages, Skip Podium Ceremonies, VSync, Mute When Unfocused, window size remembered.
  • Custom tracks: the Custom Content page now defaults to Baby T Park 1.0.2; seeds made for 1.0.0 still play.
  • Logic fixes: boost requirements, shuffled Gem Cup pads, racer lock spread, stage 2 above stage 1, and the Mystery Caves and Polar Pass boxes you couldn't reach.

Downloads

Get ctr-archipelago-v0.2.1-windows-x86.zip for Windows or ctr-archipelago-v0.2.1-linux-x86.tar.gz for Linux and Steam Deck (glibc 2.36 or newer). Each has the client and the matching ctr.apworld; use both together with a fresh seed. The separate ctr.apworld and Crash.Team.Racing.yaml are for hosts and generators. The .sha256 files check your downloads, and the .debug files help with crash reports; you don't need them to play. You need your own NTSC-U disc; no game data is included. The client isn't code-signed.

Known issues: large reconnect backlogs can stall the game (#147), Fullscreen can lag on Steam Deck (#260), and some podium characters can show up invisible (#282). The Linux build got a quick check on the Steam Deck.

Reporting a problem

Open a GitHub issue with your client version, platform, seed or YAML and what happened. Include the support bundle when it helps: run support-bundle.bat on Windows or support-bundle.sh on Linux and check it before attaching; it doesn't upload anything by itself. Questions are welcome in the Crash Team Racing channel on the Archipelago Discord.
