[h3]Hello Riders,[/h3]

We hope you’re all doing well, and thank you all for the positive feedback for our newest Baifushan mountain and the supporter pack! We’re really glad you’re all enjoying it and are super grateful for the development support!

Today we have just released another patch for you. Version 1.1.100 comes mainly with a bunch of multiplayer improvements to handle higher latencies better. It doesn’t get rid of all the problems but it should improve a lot of scenarios.

We also fixed a few problems with the resolution selection and Window mode. Here is the full patch log:

[h3]Changes[/h3]

• Minor: Checkpoint sounds are now part of the “environment” volume category in the settings and so disabling UI sounds will still trigger them.
  

[h3]Improvements & Polishing[/h3]

• Major: Criteria for network synchronization are a bit stricter now, which should lead to less drastic corrections in high latency (ping) scenarios.
  
• Major: Increased local buffer size to handle drastic changes in latency towards the host better.
  
• Minor: Several small UI fixes and polishing
  

[h3]Fixes[/h3]

• Critical: Fixes rare bug where resolution selection dialog is showing only resolutions in a wrong aspect ratio (PC only).
  
• Major: Fixed a similar case where in Window mode the window size is reset randomly in fixed intervals.
  
• Major: Fixed several cases where the local player gets teleported back and forth when crashing/respawning in a multiplayer match with high latency.
  
• Major: Reduced two cases where sideways shifting happened after respawning far away from the checkpoint.
  
• Minor: Icons and trail names for the Discord activity for the new mountain Baifushan are fixed.
  

[h3]Known Issues[/h3]

• Minor: Sideways shifting at the checkpoint still happens when multiple people respawn at a similar time.
  

Have a great time on the slopes!

[h2]Improvements & Polishing[/h2]

• Major: We expanded the available Frame Rate Limit options. You can now choose any value between 30 and 240 Hz or disable the limitation by setting it to unlimited.
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Critical: Fixed a barely visible collider under water on Baifushan, Trail 2.
  
• Major: Resolved invisible characters caused by specific combinations of outfits.
  
• Major: Fixed tour rewards not being distributed correctly in rare cases.
  
• Minor: The lines pointing to your character in the customization screen are now back.

Hello Riders,

Today is the day! Please welcome Baifushan, the newest member of our Lonely Mountains family.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]


Baifushan is a free update to the game, available now on Xbox and Steam. It is inspired by the beauty of Chinese mountainscapes and might be the most gorgeous mountain we ever made - it is definitely the biggest.

Baifushan offers four new trails with two slopes each, new challenges, new achievements, full multiplayer support for racing, team mode, quickmatches, private tours, and leaderboards. We spend a lot of time working on this mountain and we hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.


For everyone who wants to support the ongoing development of Snow Riders we are now offering a supporter customization pack. It doesn’t give you any gameplay advantages but you are getting a whole bunch of awesome gear and accessories together with our eternal gratitude for helping us to keep working on the game!

Supporter Pack DLC

We also set up some new bundles with additional discounts:

Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders is getting lots of new content in 2025, studio Megagon Industries announced today. The wait won't be long either: a new mountain will be added on April 9 in a free update, bringing the total to four. Like the existing slopes it'll boast four trails, each with harder variations and challenges. Apparently "it's the most beautiful mountain we've done yet". I can't wait to tumble graciously down its slopes...
