Circuit Superstars Online Improvements Beta
Hello fellow racers!
Good news! Today, we will be opening a Public Beta branch for you to test the latest improvements to the online play of Circuit Superstars.
As you know, during Patch v.0.2.0, we addressed sync issues. Making "great" feeling netcode is an art. In our pursuit to remove sync issues we diverged the recipe too far from the "secret sauce" that made racing feel great before. This is the most important part of the game, the "core" feel. Making this feel right has been our top priority, and we are happy to invite you to test the new system during our public beta, which will run from today, Wednesday June 2nd to Sunday, June 6th. During this time, we hope that all of you who have been wanting to get back to the racetrack and race competitively will hop behind the wheel and let us know about your experience.
Given that we are testing these improvements, we will be holding off on our Patch v.0.3.0. Our plan is to include this latest update once it has been tested by you, the community.
What to expect:
TL;DR:
Excited to see you on the racetrack!

What to expect:
- Significantly smoother gameplay and driving feel.
- Reduced experience of corrections when you have not collided with other players.
- During collisions, you will experience short-term corrections as the server reconciles what happened, this is to be expected at this time, especially for when there is a group of players colliding at high speeds. (Clean driving = less corrections!)
- Go to the Circuit Superstars title in your Steam Library
- Right click and select Properties
- Go to Betas
- Select junebeta from the dropdown
TL;DR:
- Public Beta with online gameplay improvements opens TODAY
- Beta will be available from Wednesday June 2nd to Sunday, June 6th.
- Things might be a bit quiet initially as people learn about the beta and sign up, in the meantime, you can use Discord to find lobbies to join!
