Hello everyone! Just a small update this time to add the new Parallax option. A often requested feature, parallax now adds depth to the background elements providing a richer visual experience. I've also now discovered that the frameworks that I use (XNA/XACT/FNA) do not support disconnect of external audio devices that the game is using. I've come up with a workaround for Windows Vista+ but finding solutions for Linux/OSX (and pre-vista) are still ongoing research.

New Features

• Add Parallax video option. When enabled, stars and other background elements have simulated depth. Adjustable from Off to 400%.

Issues Addressed

• Crash/freeze on Windows when unplugging external (i.e. USB) audio devices that are being used by the game.

Previously Released Patches

• Fixed issue where player and outriders could "lose" their color.

Known issues

• Borderless window option is only implemented for Windows right now.
• Disconnecting an external audio device being used by the game will cause a crash/freeze on Linux/OSX.
• Some options are English only.
