Waveform Update Released

If the game window disappears, or fails to show up, when launching the game or transitioning from the launch menu into the game, you can try enabling a new feature from within the config.ini file located within the config folder of the games install directory. Add the line:

Multithreaded = False

To the bottom of the config.ini file to force the game into single-threaded mode. This seems to fix the window not showing up. An option will be added in-game to toggle this, but for the time being modifying the config.ini works just as well.

Ridge Racer™ 7 Machine & The Gallows DLC is Now Available for Ridge Racer™ Unbounded!

An extreme sports machine and a classic yellow hot rod pick up that stands out a mile in the heat of the race.

love.)
