Essential improvements
v1.2 Update
The Re-Volt v1.2 Update fixes many issues and adds new features including proper widescreen support.
Mods and utilities
Phoenix R3
Phoenix R3is a program which allows the creation of full custom tracks. Its features provide the ability to make tracks of comparable quality to those in the original release, and gives the player more freedom than was offered in the original release.
WolfR4
WolfR4 is a custom launcher tool currently under active development, and similar in premise to Phoenix R3, but with expanded capabilities (however it should be noted it only supports patch 1207).[1]
Other popular mods
- FutureCars is a Re-Volt mod including custom cars and tracks which replaces existing Re-Volt gameplay with high speed, "ultra grav" vehicles, reaching in-game speeds of up to 100 mph. The mod currently includes seven custom tracks, and 20 unique vehicles.
Vehicle dynamics
Go to Acclaim/ReVolt/cars
and then enters any sub-folder with a car in it, they are able to edit the vehicle parameters in the 'Parameters.txt' file. This allows the user to change the top speed, acceleration, steering rate and wheel size, as well as detailed vehicle dynamics settings, effectively allowing the user to 'tune' the vehicle.

Issues unresolved

Crashing and freezing
A number of situations will currently cause the game to crash, none of which have yet been resolved. Currently, these include:
- Crashing during multiplayer
- Rare freeze due to propagation of bad data over the internet
- Freeze resulting from incompatibility of some Antivirus programs with Miles Sound System
- Rare instances of PC restarting after reaching a menu screen
Graphical Glitches
Graphical glitches are common in v1.2. A basic listing of unresolved issues is as follows:
- Improper rendering of vertex colors (dev mode only)
- Rare artifacts with cloud rendering
- Lines and glitches with graphics card forced anti-aliasing turned on
- Screen flickering when attempting to change display mode after using the Print Screen button
- Visible artifacts in the rear-view camera (known as the blue triangle bug)

Multiplayer
There are a number of issues with the game's multiplayer mode, including crashing and object inconsistencies, as well as bad syncing and bad starts, often preceded by a hang at the loading screen. Saving replays also often results in a bug. There is currently no known fix for any of these issues.
