Hello everyone!
🎤 Voice-Over for All Racers — FIXED!
Last week we introduced voice-over (VO) for all players during races… and unfortunately had to roll it back shortly after 😞
The issue was that modded characters’ audio settings weren’t updating correctly, and we spent several days trying to solve it without requiring modders to update their existing mods.
I’m happy to say we’ve successfully fixed the problem and no changes are required to existing mods, and the feature is now fully working in this build! 🎉
Huge thanks to @Kami, our community manager, who helped fine-tune this feature and did a lot of testing to make sure everything works as expected.
🧑🤝🧑 More Lobby Options
This build includes many lobby improvements, plus a super cool new feature that lets you:
View other players’ Steam profiles
Send and receive friend requests directly inside the lobby!
