public Itemless matchmaking, private team races, much faster starts, and fair play.
New
- Public Itemless matchmaking. Itemless now has its own public queue: Itemless players only meet Itemless players, and Normal stays as it was. Your whole party needs v0.8; if someone has an older version, the game names them and does not start the search. Thanks to n0buholic (PRs #170, server #1).
- Private team races with team colors and the winning team's points, and an AI difficulty setting for private rooms. Thanks to n0buholic (PRs #151, #170).
- Time Trial: one run now credits every ghost you beat (N. Tropy, Oxide, Velo and the developer times), with or without a ghost selected. Thanks to n0buholic (PR #124).
- Faster starts. The game prepares itself once and reuses that work, so the next starts wait much less before loading (on our test PC, 17-23 s became about 5 s). Thanks to n0buholic (PR #171).
- Steam shortcuts: starting the game from Steam no longer leaves a black window for minutes.
- Fair play. Online item odds come from the server, and a mod or a modified file can no longer change them for you. Players banned for cheating are banned with their PC, so a new nickname or a fresh install does not bring them back. The game sends the server only an anonymous fingerprint of the PC (two SHA-256 digests), never your hardware details.
- One save, with or without mods. Your progress is the same whether you play with mods or not. Saves from older mod sessions are merged once (the older copy is kept in
mod-state\save-backups). - GPU picker by name in the launcher (Windows and Linux), for laptops with two GPUs. Thanks to Vo1dTear for the Linux side (PR #159).
- Borderless window now covers the whole screen, and the native Vulkan engine compiles shaders faster on NVIDIA. Thanks to Enrique-Ale (PRs #169, #168).
- Launcher: Bahasa Indonesia; the modding Discord on the Mods page; AMD FSR 4 always listed (with a note when its model files are missing); the controller no longer moves the launcher's menus while you play.
Fixed
- Large mod packs that were too big to load now start.
- Itemless now works in private Cups.
- A racer mod could stop the game at start with "entry 7322 is already replaced"; online plus a widescreen layout with "entry 7025 is already replaced" (n0buholic, PR #154).
- Online setup crashed on dumps missing a Cup Select language file (n0buholic, PR #153); a damaged or incomplete game archive now says so plainly.
- Unintended hops when the controller's polling stalls (n0buholic, PR #161).
- Native Vulkan stalls and shader cache races (n0buholic, PR #156).
- 16:10 HUD alignment (david-labib, PR #144); several racer mods together (Enrique-Ale, PR #165); the Itemless label in private Single and Cup lobbies (n0buholic, PR #162).
- Linux AppImage: NVIDIA Vulkan start and in-place updates (n0buholic, PR #143).

Nuevo
- Itemless público: cola propia, así que Itemless solo empareja con Itemless y Normal sigue igual. Toda tu party necesita la v0.8; si alguien tiene una versión vieja, el juego dice quién y no busca partida. Gracias a n0buholic.
- Carreras por equipos en salas privadas y dificultad de la IA para salas privadas (n0buholic).
- Contrarreloj: una sola carrera cuenta todos los fantasmas que superes, con o sin fantasma elegido (n0buholic).
- Arranque mucho más rápido desde el segundo inicio (n0buholic), y desde Steam ya no se queda en negro varios minutos.
- Juego limpio: las probabilidades de objetos online vienen del servidor y ningún mod las puede cambiar. Los tramposos baneados quedan baneados con su PC: ni un nick nuevo ni reinstalar los trae de vuelta. El juego solo manda una huella anónima del PC, nunca datos de tu hardware.
- Una sola partida guardada, con o sin mods.
- Selector de GPU por nombre para portátiles con dos GPUs (Windows y Linux).
- Ventana sin bordes a pantalla completa y Vulkan nativo compila más rápido en NVIDIA (Enrique-Ale).
- Launcher: indonesio, el Discord de modding en Mods, FSR 4 siempre visible, y el mando ya no mueve el launcher mientras juegas.
Arreglado: packs de mods grandes, Itemless en copas privadas, los errores "entry 7322/7025 is already replaced", la configuración online con dumps incompletos, saltos del kart con el mando, tirones de Vulkan nativo, HUD 16:10, varios mods de personajes juntos y el AppImage con NVIDIA.
Código 23: no está arreglado y puede seguir pasando en cualquier PC. Si te pasa, envíanos el log de esa sesión.
