F-Zero 99 update out now (version 1.5.1), patch notes

Posted on October 15, 2024 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop

It’s time for another F-Zero 99 update, and version 1.5.1 is here.

Today’s update is mainly about addressing an issue with “Rank by Machine” for the Ace League. This was only correctly saved for players who made their save data using version 1.5.0. Records for save data made with version 1.4.1 have unfortunately been lost.

Here’s the full rundown:

F-Zero 99 update version 1.5.1 patch notes

Fixed Issue with Display of Records within the Workshop

Fixed an issue where the display for minutes and seconds gets stuck on “59:59” when Total Playtime for Career within Records reaches 100 hours.
Fixed an issue where results of Ace League in Rank by Machine in Prix within Records were not saved correctly.

For customers using this software from Ver. 1.4.1 or before

We have confirmed that within save data created using Ver. 1.4.1 or before, Rank by Machine in Ace League was not recorded correctly.

Therefore, for saved data from customers who have used this software since Ver. 1.4.1 or earlier, Ace League’s Rank by Machine will be initialized in Ver. 1.5.1.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and ask for your understanding.

*Ace League’s Times Played, Wins, Weekly Points and Weekly Rank will be retained.

*For customers who have achieved first place in Ace League, there may be a discrepancy between Wins and Rank by Machine.

Other Fixes

Fixed other issues to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.
