Issues unresolved
Crashing and freezing
A number of situations will currently cause the game to crash, none of which have yet been resolved. Currently, these include:
- Crashing during multiplayer
- Rare freeze due to propagation of bad data over the internet
- Freeze resulting from incompatibility of some Antivirus programs with Miles Sound System
- Rare instances of PC restarting after reaching a menu screen
Graphical glitches
Graphical glitches are common in v1.2. A basic listing of unresolved issues is as follows:
- Improper rendering of vertex colors (dev mode only)
- Rare artifacts with cloud rendering
- Lines and glitches with graphics card forced anti-aliasing turned on
- Screen flickering when attempting to change display mode after using the Print Screen button
- Visible artifacts in the rear-view camera (known as the blue triangle bug)
- Visible texture seams in-between ploygons
- Transparent areas displayed incorrectly in Print Screen shots
- No objects in frontend after exiting a track with Objects Edit Mode
- Objects clipped when viewed at a specific angle
Multiplayer
There are a number of issues with the game's multiplayer mode, including crashing and object inconsistencies, as well as bad syncing and bad starts, often preceded by a hang at the loading screen. Saving replays also often results in a bug. There is currently no known fix for any of these issues.
Other issues
- Bomb fuse disappears after hitting a clone pickup
- Unable to read certain game states if Caps Lock is on
Issues fixed
Game does not start (Windows 10)
- This applies to the GOG.com version. Delete or rename
winmm.dll
in the installation folder.[3]
