You really ought to stick with the latest 3.5 patch. There's no real reason to apply any of the older patches, but they're here for posterity. We are keeping the original files here, being fully aware these will not be very useful on newer machines, but there's a whole section of this site dedicated to getting everything working. Also be aware, that if you've installed Motorhead through our modern installer, it already comes patched.
Community Patch 3.5
We've worked long hours to finally bring you this! Claude tokens finally used for something worthwhile! Here's a list of updates:
- NAT traversal fixed.
Motorhead multiplayer now works on the Internet again, without the need for external tools and VPNs. - (Ultra-)wide screen support.
Motorhead was released in the age of 4:3 monitors and would stretch in wide screens. This is especially noticeable on wide screens. We have created a new FovAspect setting that allows you to change the game's field of view, making the game look right even on the widest of monitors. - Shift-key fixed.
If you've typed and noticed how Shift behaves, you'll know how painful it is. Well, no longer! We've fixed this behavior, giving you back your sanity.
Frequently asked questions:
- How did you do this?
With a clear set of objectives, a lot of help from AI tools like Claude, and a lot of testing to verify it. - Can I use patch 3.5 on retro machines?
Sure, more power to you! We'd love to see someone post a Windows 98 PC running Motorhead on an ultra-wide screen. - What other features or fixes are planned?
We're still looking into stuff like separate axis on wheel pedals, auto-recording in multiplayer races, Glenz on Glide, new cars, etc. Let us know if you've got any ideas.
