1.0.3 Patch Notes & Info from RedLynx

[thatdannixon]

Hello Riders,

We've been hard at work on some of the issues that players of Trials Evolution Gold Edition have been experiencing and we will have a game patch, and server update, out as soon as possible to address the following:

Fixes in update 1.0.3:
- Fixed multiple crash issues in multiplayer.
- Made a number of general performance optimizations and fixes throughout the game to increase performance for all players, as well as make the Video settings far more useful.
- Added support for lower resolution particles to increase performance in levels with many particle effects, especially on lower and mid-level hardware.
- Moved higher resolution particles to Advanced effects.
- Removed water reflections from Advanced effects.
- Made it possible to unlock Lab Rat squirrel with keyboard.
- Added trigger icons to map voting screen when using a game pad in multiplayer.
- Fixed issue with shadows flickering occasionally.
- Fixed occasional text and label positioning issues in editor.
- Fixed Object selector in the editor not opening by pressing space bar if an object was selected.
- Fixed Scorpion’s French localization.


Fixes in server side update:
- Fixed an issue with the Test Your Might tournament not recording times to the leader board.
- Fixed a problem with wrong tracks opening after Advanced Search in Track Central
- Added feeds for Highest Rated in 48 hours to Trials & Skill games to Track Central.

Performance Tips:
In case you are still experiencing performance problems with the game after installing the latest patch try following these steps:

- Update your graphics drivers. Please download the latest drivers directly from the AMD or Nvidia website. Do not download graphics drivers from your computer manufacturer's site (Dell/HP/ASUS/Acer/etc.) because those drivers tend to be pretty old.
- If you are having texture glitches on AMD cards, download the latest drivers. Old drivers have confirmed texturing problems.
- If you are experiencing performance issues with Crossfire/SLI or other multi-GPU setup, you need to switch to single-GPU mode from graphics card drivers.
- If you are running the game in windowed mode, it's critical to have Window Aero theme enabled. If you have Aero desktop theme disabled, the game will lag heavily in windowed mode. Right click on the desktop, choose “Personalize” and select an Aero theme from the list.
- Check the "Wait for vertical refresh" setting in your graphics control panel (left click on Windows desktop background and select AMD Radeon Catalyst Control Center or Nvidia Control Panel). This setting should be either "application controlled" or "on". If this setting is "off", you might experience lag when playing the game in full screen mode.
- Additionally, if you have any texturing problems (gliches/popping), please set the texture quality, anisotropic filtering and anti-aliasing settings to default (application controlled) in the graphics control panel.
- Enable "VSync" option in the game’s Video settings screen.
- Trials Evolution: Gold Edition is designed to run at constant 60 FPS and the engine will skip frames if it for some reason cannot achieve this. For this reason it is advisable to run the game only with monitor’s refresh rate set to 60Hz if Vsync is enabled, and to lower the video settings if it seems that the game isn’t running optimally.
- If performance isn’t optimal, try first disabling "Advanced Effects" in the game’s Video settings screen. This option combines a few particle optimizations that can be quite demanding from performance perspective.
- If you are still experiencing performance problems, try lowering other video settings or selecting a lower resolution. After the latest optimizations these changes should now have a notable effect.

Nice, can't wait to finally dig my teeth into this game, I've got 38 minutes into it, tolerated it enough to unlock the 450cc bike, soon as it's working right I'm gonna platinum all the standard tracks and then hit up the community tracks. I messed with the editor a bunch of the 360 but using a controller for that is just turrible (lol), will be makin some tracks now tho!

Thanks for the update :D

Thanks

Yo, I've been having some weird issues with textures freaking out. Where should I go to ask for help about it?

[thatdannixon]

Hey Lance,

If you give me some info about your system I'll do my best to help you. Typically issues with textures are caused by one of two things:

1) Older drivers for your video device. Please update your device from the chipset manufacturers website.

2) Below minimum specification video card (example: Intel HD 3000/4000, or not enough dedicated video memory)

I updated the drivers in my graphics chip. Updated, it says I have 1698 MB total available video memory, and 64 MB dedicated video memory. It says my adaptor is an Intel HD Graphics 3000.
