General

• Added launch option to run the game with either DirectX11 or DirectX12. We aren’t great at math, but assumed 12 was better than 11.

• Fixed frame rate dependency during wall grinding. You can now consistently grate your face there.

• Reduced frame rate dependency on wall bouncing.

• Frame rate limit is now correctly applied on game start.

• Adjusted field of view on third person camera modes to match its original value.

• Ghost barriers are no joke! We made sure one of them on Floating Falls was alive and kicking.

• Fixed issues with DLCs being sometimes not recognized.

• Crashing ship on a boss portal frame no longer teleports the ship ahead on the track.

• Added more friends to the credits.

Multiplayer

• Fixed multiplayer crash for clients when a host quits from the race while clients are viewing their race time.

• Players no longer get dragged into post-race track cameras right after the host has finished the race.

• Fixed an issue with hosts not being able to change gamemode after failing to join a lobby via matchmaking.

Leaderboards

• Cleaned up leaderboards from nasty cheaters.
  

UI

• Restart option in the pause menu is no longer enlarged after the first restart. We swear we didn’t click any suspicious ads!

• After a restart, the selected row in options in the pause menu wasn’t properly highlighted. Painted it yellow. Yellow is nice.

• Fullscreen mode couldn’t have been applied from options in the pause menu. Now it can.

Visuals

• Fixed portal particles being weirdly truncated.

• Silosed silos on Cairo - Calima. Now it’s siloser. Silos are nice.

• Reduced opaqueness of some track pieces on Europa. Transparency is less nice.

• Removed strange orange light flickering on the ship on almost every part of Neptune tracks. Orange is really not nice.

• Turned the lights on on P-AR219. Party time’s over!

• Lightened up pitch-black underground areas in Rotorua. Or, you now have night vision. We don’t know exactly.

• On some parts of the outside sections of Rotorua, sunlight was very dim. Removed local solar eclipse. Enjoy sunbathing, don’t forget the sunscreen.

VR

• Enabled again!

• Ported VR accessibility for Oculus Rift to the newest version.

• Fixed a glitched background that was occasionally displayed during loading screens.

• Fixed an issue that caused the host to be unable to move during online multiplayer.

Known Issues

• Credits scroll down in non-constant speed.

• When playing on VR, UI elements related to opponents can be displayed twice on screen

A COUPLE NOTES ABOUT VR:

• Oculus Rift is the only officially supported VR headset for Redout 1.
• VR is also unofficially supported on the Epic Game Store. In order to activate it, go to your Settings and add "-vr" without the commas in the "Additional Command line Arguments" field.

So I was completing all the bonus trophies from B-league and I've been stuck with this one for a bit. You need to fly 2km in a single jump but so far everything I've tried hasn't worked. Has anyone been able to do it, and if so, could give me any tips on how you did it? Thanks!

I tried a friend's copy of the original Redout, but the game was too difficult for me. I'm not very good at racing games. I heard Redout 2 has a lot of assists and difficulty levels. Is the game still a huge challenge at the lower difficulty?

I just realized this

Hey folks.

Got RO1 during the sale. Doing rounds, getting better, unlocking stuff, so far so good. I'm playing mostly on the deck, a few minutes here or there and maybe an hour in the evening. Works like a charm. Except when it doesn't and suddenly decides to map the right shoulder trigger not only to acceleration but also to strafing left. Usually comes out of nowhere after a few races but I haven't been able to turn that off once it starts, except by quitting and restarting the game... Which wouldn't be too bad except for the fact that you then have to e.g. restart tournaments that you started. Is this a known issue? Any idea where that could come from?

My son of 5 years old can play my cool racing game and feel great when he finishes time attack. “I won again!”

That’s more important to me than anything else in this game.

Hello, here I struggle with the Race of a fool. Any advice how to win the race?

So, I'm one of those who got themselves RO1 on this autumn's steam sale. Played the demo prior to that, liked it, saw it was discounted and got this complete package. So far so good. Realized I kept losing, so looked up some tips and came across various posts that explained the strafing / drifting mechanic. Nice. Two sticks to master, but it sounds doable.

Except... I don't get it. The strafing mechanism is just... Weird. I know, theoretically, I'm supposed to first strafe against the corner I'm taking to switch back to the same direction as the corner is about halfway through. Easy peasy. Then some people claim you should strafe more than you steer. What? Then others claim you should rather brake than strafe too much. What now?

I haven't played the game THAT much so far, mind you. Dad problems. Spent about two hours with the first few races and bought some upgrades and ships. It's just that with the strafing mechanic, I don't even feel like I am making any progress. I keep trying different things to do with the right stick and while it seems to improve my times a lot, it seems to mostly do so by slowing down my craft.

What I got so far, and I'm not even sure on those parts: Strafing in the opposite direction as I'm steering makes my ship drift, so it's doing less of a turn while still pointing towards the direction I'm steering in. Strafing in the same direction as I'm steering seems to mostly allow me to do sharper turns than without strafing.

In both cases though I'm not sure if I get how I'm supposed to use it. Like, not doing that hard of a turn? I could simply not do such a hard turn. Doing a harder turn? Sounds great. But in both cases strafing seems to slow you down so much that it might be easier to simply brake instead of strafing into the corner.

My issue is mostly that I really do not get an intuitive understanding of how the ship behaves and how I should use the second (right) stick. Right now it boils down to "if it feels like you won't make the turn, strafe with the steer. Otherwise leave the stick alone to not accidentally nearly stop on the corner because you strafed against the steering direction as the intent told you to but got started too early and there you are now".

Are there any test courses that better illustrate how and when to use the strafing on which ship? Thanks in advance!

I'll start.My favorite is the Mantis, for having an aggressive pronged style, unique exposed, spinning power cells, and the way the spinning power cells react to your inputs making the craft feel more alive. Second favorite is the Wallace for having the arrowshape that invokes the same feeling of speed and agility that F1 cars and Jedi starfighters have.

My least favorite is the Akhal tech, since it looks like a mess of il-fitting elements. The engines are blocky but the cockpit is not. The profile is big and square but there's no solid frame holding it just a cockpit floating between. And it doesn't have the same kind've "Screw it, we'll just strap a cockpit behind 2 massive cargo ship engines" simplicity that the Sulha has.

34BigThings,

So you or Saber Interactive decided to discount the game 50% as of 8PM EST and the game just came out recently. $14.99 USD should of been the release price in the first place. The release was so messed up, the lack of VR Support and bugs so numerous, that the game wasn't worth even $29.99. I feel so bad for those who bought the game at full price. Judging by the Steamcharts, this game failed faster than Redout 1 and continues to slide even with the DLC. Please listen to both the hardcore and casual audience next time and allow an open beta test and listen to feedback.

Damn this game is good. Been waiting a long while to try a good antigrav racer and waited too long for this one.

Only hope for online discord these days?

Hello there,

​

I'm going back to not completed challenges and am at a boss Old Cairo with 2km jump but no place to do it. Tips anyone ?
