Hello Riders,
We have just released an update to Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders on Steam and Xbox. The main purpose of the update is to prepare all platforms for crossplay with the upcoming PS5 version. As you might have seen today we unfortunately had to push the PS5 release but we are hopeful that you can finally play with your Playstation friends soon.
Besides the cross-play update there are also a bunch of other things that got fixed or improved, most importantly the crashes on Xbox.
New Features
Major: Cross-Play with PS5 support (SOON!)
Changes
Major: Reduced level at which Free Ride is unlocked to level 30
Improvements & Polishing
Minor: Some localization improvements
Minor: Fixed UI to show longer names properly in multiplayer
Fixes
Critical: Switched to RenderTextures for reflection rendering to fix frequent crashes during level loading
Major: Made parts of the level loading asynchronous to fix intermittent application hangs
Major: Fixed bug that causes multiplayer connection issues in connection with unstable internet connections
Minor: Fixed exceptions in tracking service
Minor: Fixed customization validation
Minor: Fixed news display showing gray box instead of image in some cases
Minor: Fixed a rare bug in error handling during ghost saving
Minor: Player name on leaderboards is now updated on login
Please let us know if this patch improves your playing experience. We would be especially interested in hearing whether you still experience black screens, as we haven’t been able to reproduce that reliably.
All the best,
Your Megagons
