This minor update contains the following enhancements:

- Fixed game often crashing when loading Torsdalen.
- Improved Torsdalen checkpoints to prevent cheating.

HIGHLIGHTS

• New free track: Torsdalen Circuit
  
• New tournament: Racing Legends
  
• New tournament reward bundles

We're excited to announce the availability of a new tournament!

And it's not only the tournament, but there's new free track too! As some of you might have already guessed, the name of the track is a homage to the ever-prolific modder Tor Ole Lerbæk who is perhaps better known in the community by his alter ego Very End, whose handiwork this gorgeous rallycross style track is for the most part. The track comes in two layouts, main and short, in both forward and reverse configurations.

In keeping with the spirit of the new epic track, the tournament challenge is all about racing too. We're tasking you to chase the opponents using Roadslayer GT. You probably already know the drill: the better your position the more score you earn per each meter traveled, plus you get bonus score for each lap as long you keep up a good pace. The best racers (or those who already have enough fame points in the bank) can claim a new paint bundle for the Roadslayer GT from the tournament shop, and while at it, it's also worth checking out the new paint job for the Tristar that's another new addition in the tournament shop.

• New tournament reward bundles

We're excited to announce the availability of a new tournament!

This time around we're taking you back to Hillstreet, racing flat out through the sprawling downtown streets from checkpoint to checkpoint in a race-prepped Tristar. In the event, the better you do between each checkpoint the more time you save, but with each successive lap you're given less and less time and at the same time the taxi cabs do their best to block you from taking the perfect line. How far can you make it? As for the weekly events, this time around they are a mix of neck-to-neck demolition racing as well as white-knuckle time trials with Rocket RX, so no matter which style is right up your ante there's something sure to strike the right chord with you. Make sure to participate since the tournament shop has been loaded with a new sweet Tristar bundle featured in the monthly event as well as another one for Speeddemon.

Naturally, this release also contains a number of enhancements and bug fixes, mainly for the new cup mode we rolled out in the previous major update. Please check out the release notes below for a summary of items added, fixed or improved upon.

We're excited to announce the availability of a new tournament!

No winter would be complete without snowy fun so it's time for the annual Winter Fest event!

Let's see who's going to be the meanest snowball fighter this year!

The weekly events offer a selection of winter-themed fun with demolition races, demolition derbies and time attacks guaranteed to offer sideways going, sheet metal tearing wintry fun. Make sure to check them all out and claim the special prize now available in the tournament shop: a bundle of classic Killerbee paint jobs from our Early Access phase!

Happy New Year to everyone and good luck!

HIGHLIGHTS

• New tournament: Banger Brawl
  
• New tournament reward bundles
  
• Multiplayer Cup Mode and spectator slots

We're thrilled to announce the availability of a new tournament!

After storming the twisting woodland roads during the Rally Trophy tournament last month, it's time for some more crashing action and what would fit the bill better than banger racing? For the next month we're going to crashing our way onto leaderboards in banger and stock car racing themed events, and the shop has been restocked with new Dominator banger racing paint job as well as a toxic Big Rig paint.

In other news, we have some exciting additions for the multiplayer and especially to those wanting to host their own events: spectator slots and cup mode!

It's now possible for the Host, Admin or Moderator to set any player (or themselves) as a spectator using the lobby context menu, server chat command or the dedicated server console. Any player set as a spectator will not participate in the event but instead will be free to use the photo mode to spectate and direct the event as well as of course stream it. The spectator role will be maintained from event to event until revoked.

The new related server commands are as follows:

/spectateon [id]
Set the given player id as a spectator.

/spectateoff [id]
Set the given player id not as a spectator.

In Cup Mode, players will be awarded points for any event that they participate in, making it easier to run your own online cups with multiple events. The points are shown in the lobby together with the number of events they player has participated in, and the players are sorted according to the points. Note that the sorting order does not change the player id which is used for server commands.

Please be aware that points will be reset whenever the server is shut down or restarted, or the player drops out of the server. However, points will be maintained when cup mode is disabled as long as they are not reset manually or the server restarted, so you can host for example practice sessions or qualification rounds between ranked events. The points per finishing position are hardcoded, with the top three receiving 30, 27 and 25 points respectively and the rest 20...1 points.

To enable cup mode, you can either set "cup_mode=1" in the server config, or use the corresponding server command. In total, there are a few new server commands related to Cup Mode:

/cupon
Enable Cup Mode.

/cupoff
Disable Cup Mode.

/cupreset
Reset points of all players.

/cupresetfor [id]
Reset points of the given player id.

/cuppointsadjust [id] [amount]
Increase or decrease points of the given player id by amount.

HIGHLIGHTS

• New tournament: Rally Trophy
  
• New free Rally Trophy track
  
• New tournament reward bundles

We're thrilled to announce the availability of a new tournament, and it's something very special!

It's been 20 years since the historic rally simulation Rally Trophy developed by us was unleashed to the rallying masses, and we thought it would be a perfect way to commemorate the 20th anniversary to bring the game back! Well, obviously not completely but as a special tournament event in Wreckfest.

To challenge the would-be rally drivers is a long special stage winding through countryside fields and woodlands, and with times clocking in at around 6 minutes the route is not only epic in length but also a unique experience for Wreckfest. What's best is that the track is also accessible outside the tournament so you can experience it also in multiplayer!

And since you of course need a car to match, we've prepared a special Boomer RS part bundle inspired by the iconic Rally Trophy car so you can be properly kitted out to tackle the challenge. In addition to the Rally Trophy bundle, a wicked new time attack styled Gremlin bundle is another newcomer in the shop so make sure to check them both out!
