The latest Update for Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition is here!

This update is all about photo mode and the incredible editions that have been added, so let's get into it.

Photo mode is now available in more places than before, including foal stalls, the pasture, and of course Free Roam. While you still have the ability to take stills using the provided backgrounds and poses, this takes in-game photography to a whole new level.

[h2]Photo mode![/h2]

From the get-go, this new photo mode has a lot more features than the previous edition, these include, depth of field, lighting adjustments, filters, overlays, and appearance.



Once you have the desired shot lined up, you have the ability to hide the interface and snap the perfect shot using the f12 button. This will save your image to both your steam library and your default photo folder on your PC.



That's not all though.

While in photo mode, using a combination of the mouse and “W, A, S, D” on the keyboard, or the thumbsticks on the controller, players have full control of the camera meaning they can capture images at all new angles and distances.





[h2]Accessing Photo mode[/h2]



To access photo mode in the Pasture and Foaling Stalls, head to the desired feature you wish to take photos from and hit the “Photo Mode” button.

Accessing Free Roam’s photo mode is a little different from the Pasture and Faoling stalls, once you are ready to take the photo hit the “Q” key to bring up the Photo Mode menu.



We are excited to see the exciting and wonderful moments you capture with the new and improved photo mode.

[h2]Hey everyone![/h2]

We are back with another exciting update for you all!

You have been honing your Cross Country skills for a few weeks and now it's time to put it to the ultimate test with the introduction of Cross Country Leaderboards!

For those who have played the mobile edition of Rival Stars Horse Racing, this will work differently from the leaderboards and Live events you have all grown to know and love



[h2]How does it work?[/h2]

Leaderboards work in seasons with each season lasting for 2 weeks. New seasons kick off on Thursdays at 12:00 PM EST, giving every player the chance to prepare and train their horses to become Cross Country Champions.

Each Cross Country Course has its own Leaderboard, with Pro mode being integrated into its respective related course. To get to the top of the leaderboard, players need to not only beat the optimal time set for the course but also make sure they are completing the course faster than others. Scores/Times are connected to your steam ID, meaning you can only register one time for each course.

[h2]Leaderboard[/h2]

There are a few different ways to interact with the leaderboard.

The leaderboard will show the “world” leaderboard by default.

Selecting the friend button next to the leaderboard will shift the leaderboard view from the world leaderboards to a friends-only view showing you how you are doing in the current season vs your friends.



To view the leaderboard for the current season or take a look at the past season's winners you’ll want to click the “Trophy” Icon at the top of the leaderboard.





In the meantime, players will be competing for bragging rights. However, we are collecting feedback and will be evaluating the best way to reward the season winners

We can't wait to see everyone compete and start climbing the leaderboard!
