We have been working with our development partners this month to continue to improve the user experience of FAST BEAT LOOP RACER GT. Based on the state and limitations of the original Arcade code, we’ve still been able to make additional adjustments to maximize your enjoyment of the game.
Region Settings Options/Matchmaking Regions
After you update and launch the game, you will immediately notice the game will detect your geographic region and automatically pair you with available players in your region during multiplayer racing. This will substantially improve connectivity issues some players have been experiencing.
You can switch regions at any time and turn off the setting by selecting “None” on the Region menu but that will increase your chances of lost connections. You can also turn off regional matchmaking in the multiplayer screen by unchecking the option.
Private and Keyword multiplayer mode is not affected by the Region settings, but the same connection issues will apply when racing friends from other regions.
Options/Video
Windowed Mode is supported by PC with Windows 7/8/10. The Size of the Window will vary based on the Screen Resolution you select. Borderless Full Screen Mode is supported by Windows 7. On Windows 8 and 10, the window may still display.
Once you make a change to these setting and exit the video screen, you will see an advisory that the 'changes will only occur after you exit and restart the game.'
Lag Improvement (Automatic)
We were able to modify the code to be more forgiving of lag issues in multiplayer racing. While it won’t help extremely poor connections and/or lag caused by regional differences, there will be an overall improvement in drop frequency when playing within your region.
Custom Settings
After the update, you will need to go back and reset any custom changes you made in your profile including:
- Window Size
- Language
- Controllers
We hope these updates will continue to improve your enjoyments of FAST BEAT LOOP RACER GT!
