KartKraft Update Migrates Services and Changes Underlying Code

Motorsport Games Australia have deployed an update to Steam for KartKraft that reconnects it with a newly-migrated backend service. The process took a couple of days to complete and is still somewhat work-in-progress until some temporarily disabled features are brought back online.

Official notes:

– Migrated the backend database and accounts system to a new service.
– Races and Time Trial are temporarily disabled in this release. They will return soon.
– A large amount of underlying game code has changed so please do report any bugs!
– Physics remains unchanged.

The update is a whopping 11GB, which according to developer comments in Discord is “mostly just a rearrangement of files”, though they also stated that “under the hood it actually contains substantial changes. Many months worth of development. Not too many new features enabled yet though.”
