Version 1.0.2 Released
Velocity Syndicate has received another important quality update.
Version 1.0.2 focuses almost entirely on one thing: making the game feel cleaner, faster and more comfortable to play on smartphones without compromising the desktop experience.
After testing the game on a real mobile device, several issues became obvious that were difficult to spot in automated testing alone. This update addresses those problems directly.
Better Mobile Scrolling
The biggest issue was touch scrolling inside itch.io on mobile devices.
Some menus were visually correct but did not respond properly to finger scrolling.
This has now been fixed.
The mobile layout now uses a dedicated vertical content area, while the main navigation remains horizontally scrollable.
This means you can now comfortably browse:
- Career
- Race
- Garage
- Dealers
- Tuning
- Drivers
- Team
- Finances
- Licenses
- Telemetry
- Legacy
- Settings
without fighting the interface.
License Academy Redesigned for Mobile
License exams previously tried to display multiple cards side by side.
On smaller screens, this caused awkward line breaks and compressed information.
License cards now appear one below another on mobile devices, which makes requirements, target times and fees much easier to read.
Race Result Screen Fixed
The race result window received several corrections.
A bug could cause the visible classification to begin at P2 instead of showing the race winner properly.
Results are now explicitly sorted by finishing position and display the complete classification from:
P1 to P8
The mobile results screen also no longer creates an awkward second scrolling area inside the classification.
Instead, the complete result window scrolls naturally.
Improved Race Financial Summary
Race rewards are now easier to understand.
The result screen clearly separates:
- Gross Race Income
- Primary Prize
- Bonuses
- Second Car Share
- Staff Payroll
- Driver Payroll
- Net Result
This makes it much easier to understand whether a race was actually profitable.
Winning trophies is nice.
Paying six people to make that trophy happen is less nice.
Cleaner Temperature Display
One small but very visible bug has also been removed.
Track temperature could occasionally display something like:
18.25856125916005°C
Temperatures are now properly rounded and shown in a readable format such as:
18.3°C
The racing engineers have finally discovered decimal formatting.
Driver Commands Are Now Properly Labeled
During races, the four strategy controls previously displayed only values like:
Normal
That made it unnecessarily difficult to remember what each selector controlled.
They are now clearly labeled:
- Pace
- Overtaking
- Tyres
- Fuel
This makes race management much faster, especially on smaller screens.
Compact Mobile Race HUD
The race HUD contained a lot of useful information, but on smartphones that also meant a lot of scrolling.
The most important race information remains immediately visible.
Secondary information such as:
- Stint
- Pit Stops
- Engine Temperature
- Brake Temperature
- Tyre Temperature
is now grouped inside a collapsible:
Car Data & Thermals
section.
On mobile it starts collapsed.
On desktop it remains expanded.
New Mobile Race Shortcuts
During a race, three quick-navigation controls are now available:
Overview | Commands | Pit
These allow you to jump directly to the important sections of the race screen.
No more scrolling through half the pit lane just to tell your driver to push.
Improved Race Engineering Information
The Race Engineering panel now provides clearer operating ranges.
Typical targets are shown for:
- Engine temperature
- Brake temperature
- Tyre temperature
This makes it easier to understand whether a reading is healthy or whether the car is starting to cook itself.
Better Toast Notifications
Small feedback messages such as:
Cold Air Intake installed
could occasionally overlap buttons on mobile devices.
Toast notifications now respect additional bottom safe space and no longer block important controls.
Navigation Improvements
When changing sections, the active navigation tab is now automatically moved further into view.
This makes the wide main navigation feel much more natural on touchscreen devices.
