Cranked Patch Notes - TRICKS!

New Stuff

• Our first tricks have landed in Cranked! No handers and no footed can can. These are early versions and still a WIP.

  • RB + R stick up (keyboard: Left Ctrl + Space) - no hander

  • RB + R stick right (keyboard: Left Ctrl + Right Arrow) - no footed can can

  • Tricks count for trick challenges and score in the Freeride event

• Trail Builder: build your own maps in a new in-game editor. Patreon members only for now. Very early test, so expect rough edges and tell us what breaks. The trail builder is broken at the moment. We will try and fix it for the next build.

• Player Profile: lifetime stats, achievements, trail records and showcase pins now track your riding

• Sign in with Steam: your rider and progress follow your Steam account to any machine

• New Race Gate Color Assistance setting: the next gate glows in a colour you pick

• New Lead Foot setting: choose which foot sits forward when you stop pedaling

• New Achievement Pop-ups setting

• New Show Mini Leaderboard setting: toggle whether the mini leaderboard stays up while you race Fast Time and Downhill events

New Trails:

• Perfect Blue

• Pitch Black

Improvements

• Bunny hops no longer need a hold: crouch and flick up for a full hop, flick from neutral for a half hop

• Downhill event improvements:

• Timer for grace period

• Spectator chat and voice chat now show up while spectating

• 20-second double-beep warning to let you know you're about to drop in

• An improved full finals results leaderboard

• Event finishes always say what the run did to your standing

• Spectate camera eases in when terrain blocks the view instead of snapping to the rider

• Remote riders now turn their heads

• Chat and voice icons stay on screen with the HUD hidden

• Jumps post one toast line again: length, height, airtime

• Crash g-force now reads a realistic figure

• Live readout says Manual without pedaling, Wheelie once the pedals turn

• Vertigo has its difficulty rating; Acrophobia and Radiation Ridge trail lines follow their race gates

• New pedal animation

• Forest grass is narrower and shorter across the whole map

• Rider stays steady over the bike through rough terrain

• Screen space cavity effect turned off in the Forest

Bug Fixes

• HUD button prompts show the key you actually have, and follow rebinds

• Resolution setting shows the size the game is really running

• Fixed some trails where the timing gate splits were off

• Lobby, map markers and player list show everyone on the server again

• A failed online join always returns you to the main menu with the reason

• Fixed start position for the Lakeside Freeride event

• Lakeside Freeride tricks count for gold more reliably

• Distant Forest bushes no longer show neon-lime dots

• Landing from a teleport or respawn no longer counts as a jump

Balance Changes

• Brake force increased by 50%, and the e-bike brakes have been improved to be the same as the trail bike

• Swiveling sideways under braking has been nerfed a bit

• Whips count with the bike up to 65 degrees off on landing

• Event length now follows the trail's world record: 8 to 15 minutes depending on the trail, for Fast Time and downhill qualifying
