Full game downloads are available at distribute.re-volt.io.

The network version has been updated!

Details in Video Options:
The proper Video Device name is displayed in Video Settings. The new "Video Renderer" entry shows the backend (OpenGL / Direct3D) and rendering mode (Shader / Legacy) in use. The actual setting still has to be set via the rvgl.ini.

Modifications:

• The shader mode has improved mesh updates that prevent freezes (eg, during bomb explosion) with large and poorly optimized world files. This caused problems on Jailhouse Rock.
• Updated lights and effects shaders: loops are no longer unrolled manually, should result in faster shader compilation on mobiles and compatibility with older mobile GPUs. This might fix the issue reported here.
• Brightness / Contrast sliders in Video Settings now use steps of 5.
• Controller names are no longer prefixed with "Joystick".
• Hardware keyboard / controller inputs are enabled in Android touch menus.
• Updated SDL GameController database on Android.

Fixes:

• Fixed glitch in pickup randomizer after the Android app is restarted.
• Updated DC textures - remove white dot in FulonX carbox.
• Fixed BigVolt / BossVolt shadow table values.
• Fixed rain rendering in legacy mode.
• Fixed 3D text showing through walls in legacy mode.
• Fixed touch highlights in legacy mode (Android).

Thx for the 3D text fix.

But in Floors:

[Marv]

That's an issue that persisted for longer and I believe it has to do with the floor being transparent.
