...I really hate the fact I keep having to write 'released' so many times in the title, because it feels so redundant.
Moving on! RC2 is released and is mainly a fixes build, with more than 75 fixes out of the 100+ changes that were done. RC2 includes all patches since RC1 so you aren't missing out on anything.
Main highlights include various engine fixes and additions. Windows users no longer need Administrator access, and MBP.exe was removed (using normal marbleblast.exe now).
It is important for everyone to download the new launcher as it was updated as well and can now delete files, which is NEEDED if you want RC2 to launch without screaming at you when you try and go online.
RC2 is supported on Windows XP to Windows 8.1, Mac OS X 10.7 and above. No Linux support due to its MBG engine doing stuff that our extender does not like.
Windows Vista and above users please note: RC2 will be installed in C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\Marble Blast Platinum
All preferences and config files will be copied by the launcher to their respective directories in AppData if you want it to (it asks you first :D).
RC1'S install directory, C:\Program Files (x86)\Marble Blast Platinum , will no longer be used and you can delete it.
It is recommended to copy and custom interiors missions over to AppData as the launcher will not do so.
Happy Marble Blasting

Hey there,
The Platinum Team would like to announce a new and improved version of the master server. This master server is now more stable in RC2 than any other master server that has been in the previous builds. Not only does it come with stability, it also comes with new features. Take a look for yourself!
Here is a description of what each and every column does on the master server:
- Lock Icon - This icon is visible if there is a server password
- Bar Icon - This icon is visible if ratings are turned on
- Server Name - The name of the server
- Players - The amount of players currently on the server over the maximum players allowed
- Mode - What type of server is this, such as Free-For-All or Teams mode
- Ping - The latency to the server in one round trip. The lower this number, the better the connection
- Min Rating - The minimum rating required to play on the server
You will also notice, that there is now a status bar. The status bar will tell you what the master server's current status is when it is refreshing. It will display statuses for connecting to the master server, querying the master server, receiving pings from the servers, and finally the amount of servers that it has found.
We hope you enjoy the new master server as much as we do!
