Make Way – Ver. 1.2

Release date: June 26th 2024 (North America, Europe) / June 27th 2024 (Japan)
Patch notes:

GAMEPLAY CHANGES

Added ability to use bots in an online match

New “client authoritative movement” has been added, making client vehicle / control feel much more responsive when playing online

Added a “relay server” fallback option, to help players with connection issues

Refactored shortcut logic so anyone attempting to take a shortcut won’t be killed when offscreen

Added horn timeout to stop players that hold / abuse horn sounds

Added “select vehicle colour” option to the vehicle selection screen

Added “checkpoint skip” logic, so players move to the next checkpoint if they fail a section three times

Add toggle to “hide lobby code” so people streaming the game don’t get bombed with random players

Doubled the amount of XP when playing a “race mode” race, meaning “classic mode” will unlock faster for new players

Added an XP multiplier if there are fewer players, so it feels a bit fairer when playing with just two people

Increased machine gun, shotgun, and tesla coil effectiveness

Nerfed the shotgun to one bullet

Added networked player control on vehicles on the victory screen

BUG FIXES

Fixed client shortcuts always being disabled when playing online (which means in most cases they would never work)

Fixed the selected race mode being reset after 3 games when playing online

Fixed numerous de-sync issues when track building

Fixed duplicate players when host and client are both playing on a LAN with certain routers

Fixed track space on special “exit” pieces so players aren’t destroyed (and get stuck in a loop) when they are used

Fixed forced auto-selecting track pieces when clients are sometimes picking

Fixed it so that invites work when launching a game on Steam

Fixed some achievements not working on Xbox and Steam

Added message pop-up if client can’t join match because of a crossplay mismatch

Fixed the game trying to load a vehicle texture that was already loaded on the select vehicle screen, making the screen lag

Fixed prop spawning so that the trees, and other props, spawn correctly on the Arctic Tundra level

Fixed sudden death win order

Increased minimum amount of checkpoint time when solo, and checked that all pieces have enough time, so that certain sections should now be possible to complete alone

Corrected missing animation on certain (mirrored) track pieces

Added lag compensation for projectiles, so that they are more in sync

Fixed profile issue where middle players signing out would cause logic issues

Stopped machine gun bullet impact VFX spawning on last target if it misses

Fixed some weapon barrels being rotated incorrectly

Fixed vehicles sometimes being permanently inflated

Fixed vehicles on the start line being jumbled

Various crash fixes

Additional notes: none
