HoverRace 1.23 Released

It's official folks! HoverRace 1.23 is being released today thanks to the awesome efforts of Igglybob and Zoogie, and the small input from myself too ;).
We would like to thank all the beta testers and bug reporters for making this possible.
Essentially what 1.23 is, is a lot about the progression of making HoverRace easier to enjoy. The need for Hamachi has been abolished and the "Unable To Connect?" page will be updated with port forwarding instructions once I have finished with this post.
You can download the HoverRace 1.23 from our Downloads page  !
The biggest fix implement is the improvement of online connectivity; we used to rely on setting our routers to DMZ mode, which would only allow you to join last, or host the race without having connection issues to everyone else. We then use a 3rd party program Hamachi to emulate a Virtual Network, and although these were golden times, the biggest problem was explaining to someone why they had downloaded a game and now needed a 3rd party application to play it.
We now only need to forward ports 9530 and 9531 via TCP and UDP for online gameplay to work.
The "Join Game" port of 9531 can be adjusted to something else if you wish, this will be essential for allowing more than one person to play on a router.
If you wish to see more of the bug fixes and enhancements, you should visit the HoverRace Trac hosted at Igglybob.com, for now I'll link you into the achievements of 1.23:
