Trials Evolution: Gold Edition, the special PC version of the impressive physics-based biking simulator, has just received a brand new update that takes it to version 1.02 and brings all sorts of bug fixes and improvements.

Trials Evolution delighted millions of Xbox 360 owners from all around the world last year and, after receiving quite a bit of DLC, arrived on the PC earlier this month in the form of the Trials Evolution: Gold Edition.

Sadly, the game has been plagued by quite a few problems, specifically on PCs that use multiple graphics cards, as well as with different issues relating to the track edition.

In order to solve some of these issues, developer RedLynx and publisher Ubisoft have released a new update for the game, in the form of patch 1.02.

While the multi-GPU issues aren't fixed, because they require new drivers from both Nvidia and AMD, plenty of other issues have been resolved, so check out the full list of changes below, via DLH.

- Problems with multi-GPU hardware are being worked on with card manufacturers and should be fixed with upcoming driver updates (for now we will show a popup to players to inform them about the issue and its workaround) - Rendering issue that caused 3D content to be rendered in lower resolution than the one player had selected is fixed - Video rendering options improved when rendering replay to be uploaded to YouTube (fixes stuttering visible in all current videos) - Game crashing in License tests with some hardware combinations has been fixed - Viewing a replay of a track loaded from Track Central doesn’t allow you to restart and ride the track as the character from replay or rate it anymore - Pressing B or “back” on the “Please reconnect” screen no more quits you to the desktop (you must manually choose to quit if you don’t want to play offline) - User track downloaded” popup doesn’t disable camera and controls anymore if you are playing the game while it appears - Toggle simulate” in Editor doesn’t move the mouse cursor to the bottom right corner anymore - Shift + mouse click now works in Editor when adding extra path points - CTRL + Shift + Z now works as a redo command in Editor - Steam and uPlay account linking option has been added to the Steam version of the game. By linking their accounts, players can see their Steam friends in the game and easily add them as their Uplay friends - Players can now post their track completion times and screenshots of their customized Rider & Bike to Facebook - New content indicator added to the Event select screen to inform players that they have unlocked content in another area (Crash County or HD Warehouse) - General engine optimizations have been made that should increase overall performance - A number of small track fixes have been made - A number of small localization fixes have been made
