Extra Stuff
We've also been adding more features to custom races and multiplayer.
Speed Multiplier
Both custom races and multiplayer now have a speed multiplier option. It ranges from 0.2x to 2x speed and stacks with the hyper and drag speed options.
This is considered a cheat option and setting it to anything but 1x will disable saving and leaderboard functionality while active.
Custom race now also has a reset cheats option, which lets you disable all of the cheat options in a single button press.
Multiplayer Timers Control
Lobby hosts will now also be able to control the timers for finishing the race once somebody has passed the finish line and how long everybody needs to wait before going back to the lobby on the results screen.
The finish timer can be configured anywhere between 5 seconds to 2 minutes.
The results time can be configured anywhere between 5 seconds to 30 seconds.
Refresh rate in exclusive fullscreen
Based on feedback the game now also has an option to set the refresh rate of the monitor it's being display on if running in exclusive fullscreen. If you're running in a window or in borderless fullscreen this option will be disable and let you know your desktops refresh rate is being used.
