Whew! We have been working so hard to get a new beta version out every week that we have not had much time to chat in between. Here is a new version of the Zero Gear beta to play with - including a brand new race track, Zero Circuit! If you haven’t signed up for the beta yet, go grab a beta key!
1.0.1.4 Change Log
* New race map added: Zero Circuit!!!
* Network bandwidth usage optimized, uses up to 75% less data
* Skate now has a simple point based game mode
* Puncher can be used behind kart, has better range, and causes the punched object to spin more
* Reduced the time it takes for a twister to become active once deployed from 2 seconds to 1
* Soccer ball mass increased slightly
* Forced race mode back to warmup if there is only one racing player left
* Camera follow rotation is now 3 times faster when the kart is moving slowly
* Changed quick play to look through the first 3 lobbies for a valid server instead of just the top lobby
* The server browser now only shows how many humans players are in a server
* Added dialog box to warn the user when they connect to a server running a map they don’t have
* Texture filter mode now saves when changed in the settings GUI
* Other player’s ping times displayed in the player roster GUI will be more responsive
* Upon detecting that the required shader model 2.0 isn’t supported on the player’s computer, it will ask the user if they want to try running the game anyway
Loving this game on steam
Thanks! Beta is awesome
When you say the game asks if you want to try running it without shaders, does that mean that the game can run on computers without shader support?
No, as stated in the change log, shader model 2.0 is required.
A user request this feature as they thought their hardware did support SM 2.0 and the game was confused. This doesn’t seem to be the case so I will probably remove this dialog.
thanx ^^
i love the new trailer
