1.00.042 is now available as a free public release for RF-X users! Obtain it via the RF-X Launcher's "Registration/Updates" option.

This new version adds a batch of new vehicle content and includes numerous improvements. See the full release notes below for more info.

The LauncherHelper will need to restart partway through the update process. Answer "Yes" when it asks if you want to continue downloading the new version. When this process is finished, you will have the latest available version of RF-X.

Note that this update will change your video settings to the default resolution and will enable fullscreen mode. This was necessary due to one of the video settings fixes we implemented. You are free to change them back to your desired settings.
