[h3]Bug Fixes & Improvements[/h3]
  • In Game News will now periodically appear in front of the player to help you keep up to date with everything Synth Riders.
  • Selecting a playlist correctly activates the playlist main page and shows the Play Non Stop button.
  • Rail Score Display no longer “gets stuck” and will update correctly on rails.
  • Fixed a problem causing the colors from two handed sections to stick beyond the end of the section.
  • Score summary screen now defaults to show percentages of Poor/Good/Perfect to match the leaderboards.
  • (Quest) When entering Multiplayer for the first time, the game now recognizes that it has been given permission to record audio and no longer requires a restart for this to take effect.
  • (API) For players moving between Force and Rhythm, some scores in Rhythm mode were also logging old Force data with the Rhythm score data. While not visible in game, this was shown in the external API.
