⚽ SMOOTH UPDATE: RIKOGOL v1.5.0 IS OUT NOW
Online matches now look just as smooth for players who join as they already did for the host — and Rikogol now speaks Simplified Chinese.
🎯 SMOOTH ON EVERY SCREEN
The host's own screen was already smooth in online matches, but players who joined saw other players, the ball and the camera move in small jumps. Now other players, the ball and the camera glide smoothly on every player's screen. If you join someone else's match, kick and goal effects now play right when you actually see the kick or the goal on your screen.
The same moment of play as seen by a player who joined someone else's match, with both versions drawn from identical network data: v1.4 on top, v1.5 below.
Only the way the match is drawn on your screen has changed: the physics, the rules and every gameplay number are exactly the same as before.
🌏 RIKOGOL NOW SPEAKS SIMPLIFIED CHINESE
Simplified Chinese (简体中文) is now the game's eighth interface language: every menu, the match screen and every message are translated. Chinese Steam names now display correctly on the nameplates under each player's disc. If your Steam client is set to Simplified Chinese, Rikogol opens in Chinese the first time you start it, and you can switch languages any time in Settings.
✨ ALSO IN THIS UPDATE
- The Versus Bots mode card now states it clearly: “Achievements and stats count in online matches, not in this mode.”
- Steam achievement descriptions now say which achievements need an online match.
- The version tag in the main menu now reads “v1.5.0 — Smooth Update”.
📣 GOOD TO KNOW
This update changes only what you see. Every match is played and decided exactly as before. Steam normally updates the game automatically.
See you on the pitch! 🔥
