HoverRace has been upgraded from its old DirectDraw renderer to OpenGL.
This is one of the biggest technical updates we’ve made to the game so far, bringing major improvements to graphics quality, render distance and fullscreen performance.
The original rendering code used software rendering. Moving away from DirectDraw will allow us to work on new ideas to bring a new lease of life to the game.
We’ve also reworked how wall textures are rendered, fixing alignment issues across both horizontal and vertical surfaces to make textures appear more seamless and smooth throughout the game.
We’ve attached some comparison screenshots showing the difference between the previous renderer and the new OpenGL version.
As always, if you notice any bugs, graphical glitches or compatibility problems, please let us know. If you cannot use this version, you can change your beta version to version-1.23.6-software in your Steam library.
