PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

CPU optimizations have landed across several systems:

TeknoModel2
TeknoS11
TeknoS23
TeknoVUnit
TeknoVegas

California Speed has received additional optimization work.

Model 2 can now automatically assign threads to suitable CPU cores, while System 23 benefits from graphics threading and cache improvements.

MODEL 2 HIGH SCORES

High-score submission is now supported across all TeknoModel2 games.

Website leaderboards are available, and a new high-score button has been added to the launcher.

Additional fixes have also improved score submission and handling.

BETTER LAN RACING

Networking improvements have been added for:

Cruis’n USA
Cruis’n World
Cruis’n Exotica
Off Road Challenge

These changes reduce stuttering and address cases where sessions could become stuck.

Model 2 also gains improved LAN support and automatic cabinet ID setup for most games.

TeknoVegas now synchronizes LAN emulation speed to the slowest connected PC.

ONLINE MULTIPLAYER CHANGES

Cruis’n Exotica has received improvements for higher-ping TeknoParrot Online sessions.

TeknoViper now handles disconnects more clearly.

Cruis’n USA and Cruis’n World have been removed from TeknoParrot Online because full-speed gameplay requires latency below approximately 16 ms.

LAN support for both games remains available and continues to receive improvements.
