Input
- New system allowing the use of any USB device (controller / wheels). Toggle option to switch between gamepad and other USB device
- Custom bindings for all devices
- Xbox / PlayStation controllers should work automatically when not toggled onto other USB
- Mouse steering option for keyboard & mouse (Toggle in settings)
Race scoring
- Fleet race score reset (Previous scores are still stored which we may display later)
- New scoring system. Base score for a win/loss is 20/-20 (changes depending on your position in a fleet race). This can scale based of opponent level to a max of +/- 5 from the base score. The previous system allowed scaling to go to zero which was contributing to gaining very little points or none at the top of the leaderboard
- Fixed an issue of multiple score updates at the end of a race
- Players who quit a match before the end of a race will be penalized -40 points on the leaderboard
Penalties
- Fixed ghost boat penalties when a player left a match
- Fixed penalties after crossing the finish line
