A long time coming... 1.5 is a major update.

The 2 biggest takeaways are that 1) Multiplayer is live and available. 2) The entire games speed has been raised x1.5 everything is faster across the board (watch out Khuy!). 3) Boost has been changed so that you cannot boost unless at minimum temperature. 4) DLC for MP has been added. 2 for now, more to come! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1095621/Vector_36_Racewear__Stratus_One__Plateau/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1095622/Vector_36_Racewear_Grit_Colonist__Dust/

Lobby auto creates if none present. Lobby reworked update for when in multiplayer mode only. Maximum Radiator amounts limited to 6. Don't pretend you don't know why. A side note: I have tried really hard to test MP to the best of my ability, but there is a high chance that there will still be unresolved bugs and glitches. I want nothing but the best experience for the player, so will be updating it as soon as I can. If you like the game, give it a review on Steam, its great to get the game more exposure and does wonders for my self-esteem. If you dont like it. Tell me why and there is a good chance I can do something about it. Thanks and enjoy. -Ryan
