We're Celebrating One Year of SRC on Steam!
We're bringing alot of changes in this update to address some of the long running issues and bugs in SRC, while also introducing a slick new Championship UI and alternate modes for Circuit and Eliminator tracks! Alongside some quality of life additions and network lobby changes.
First of all the Championship UI, this is the first stage of improving the confusing interface that was Championship selection. We've streamlined everything into a single row of tiered progression, and introduced all the new tracks into Championship mode.
The final stage will see improvements to Championship UI during and after races in the next Update.
We've taken every Circuit and Eliminator track, made a few balance tweaks and made them playable in either mode. Essentially doubling the amount of tracks in SRC. Some tracks have even seen whole new sections added or tweaked for compatibility with the new modes.
Lastly network functionality has been changed, in the past it was hard to lobby up with players and stay together between races. Not only can you now select the next track from the end game screen, you can also invite any visible online players to a game through the social tab. Don't worry, those who want to play alone can set network privacy to prevent any unwanted invites.
For those who do want to make the most of the new network changes, head over to our discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/d6MaRCb
