Redout, the sci-fi racing game by 34BigThings received an important update recently. Patch 1.7.1 brought several improvements and bug fixes, including the ones for rare game crashes.
The patch improved the Epic account linking feature. You can link your account by visiting game options. A couple of rare game crashing issues are addressed as well.
From now on, players won’t be able to visit the online menu when they are online. In the Steam version, both the host and the player count will be shown in the main menu. However, in the EGS version, only the host count will be shown.
The fog behavior in Europa has been improved; it is now foggier. Lighting on Rotorua is enhanced and several track surface textures on Abruzzo are fixed.
You can check out the changes below.
- Improved Epic account linking feature. You can now manage it in the game options. (Note: switching versions from legacy vredition to current update on Steam disables the link. To restore it, link the account again).
- Fixed some rare game crashes.
- External ship HUD is now restored correctly on retrying or restarting events after being eliminated.
- Re-introduced host and player count in main menu on Steam and host count only on Epic.
