Hey everyone, This patch fixes a few issues with the game, mainly with the time trial mode, I noticed World Record ghosts were not being uploaded to the server, and also sometimes ghost files never got through either. This patch should fix most of the issues with this, alongside some other things. Full Patch Notes: 2021-017 (28-11-2021): CHANGE: Altered the way terrain editing works in the editor, you now select what terrain you want and click to make it that, rather than hold left click to gradually raise/lower land. Brush Strength values closer to 1 are higher terrain, 0.2 is deep water. CHANGE: Optimized the AI to use less CPU resources. CHANGE: Changed how AI sounds are processed, reduces their CPU usage by about 30%. CHANGE: Internal game engine updated, for more stability. CHANGE: Map sizes are now adjusted when entering a level to try and prevent the camera not being able to center each players car at the edge of tracks. FIX: Fixed an issue in certain weather conditions where a rectangle would appear around Player 1. FIX: Fixed an issue where Players 2-4 would not see rain on their screens in the "Rain" weather condition. FIX: Prevented leaving a time trial when you have gotten the WR time but the ghost has not yet uploaded. FIX: Fixed an issue where sometimes your time wouldn't be saved when finishing a time trial. FIX: Fixed a potential crash when editing terrain outside the world map in the track editor. FIX: Fixed an issue where your ghost data would not be uploaded to the server when getting World Record. REMOVE: Removed some additional debug text shown during a Kill Trail game. Thanks for your support! - Oliver

The Race Factory is made with a heavy emphasis on multiplayer and the ability to create your own race tracks. Taking inspiration from arcade racing games of the 80's and 90's, featuring drift physics, weapons to give you the advantage over the competition, and plenty of customization, the aim is to have a fun multiplayer experience, with plenty of variety to keep you entertained!

Features:

- Track Editor included in the game. This track editor was used to build all the tracks that come with the game, so you can create an endless amount of tracks to enjoy! This includes a racing line editor, allowing you to fine-tune the AI's behaviour on your track. The track editor is capable of making both racing tracks and custom Battle Arenas.

- A variety of game modes, from Racing, to Drift, to Infection, there's a bunch of game modes for everyone to enjoy! All game modes support AI drivers. All game modes support at least 4 players, some game modes support up to 8 players!

- 12 Race Tracks and 3 Battle Arenas come with the game, so if creating tracks isn't your thing, you can jump straight into the game and battle it out with your friends!

- 4 Car classes, Street, Sport, Super & Hyper. You can take it easy in the Street class, with fairly grippy tyres and plenty of time to react, it's the ideal choice for newer or younger drivers. But when you feel ready, hop into a Hyper car and be prepared to react quickly and get some drift time in!

- 7 Weapons are available to mess with your opponents, from a Bolt that will force your target into a drift, to a Strike that will hit the driver in 1st position, or perhaps a nifty Nitro to boost yourself ahead of the pack?

- Choose your time of day and weather settings! Race on a sunny morning, Drift on a rainy evening, perhaps even play Infection on a stormy night? Be careful though, in snowy weather, the cars won't respond how you'd like! And I've been hearing reports of a meteor shower???

- And let's not forget the mutators! Fun little settings you can change to switch things up, from disabling brakes whilst forcing cars to always be accelerating, to making the ground icy, there's a few little surprises in there to keep the action interesting!
