After several months of development, testing and bug fixing, **update 1.9** has finally been released to the public branch! Here is a summary of the changes:

##### Translations

In addition to English and German, we have translated the game into **12 new languages**:

-  Arabic

-  Bengali

-  French

-  Hindi

-  Japanese

-  Korean

-  Polish

-  Portuguese

-  Russian

-  Simplified Chinese

-  Spanish

-  Ukrainian

Since a lot of translations were automated and not reviewed by us or the community yet, we expect there to be a few issues remaining. We will continue to work on improving the translations over time.

##### Crash Reporter and Bug Tracker

If Brick Rigs crashes, a **crash reporter** window will now appear. You can choose to send us crash reports, including optional additional information. We have also created a **bug tracker** using GitHub Issues, available (http://bugs.brick-rigs.com/). These improvements will help us find and fix bugs (especially crashes) more efficiently and effectively than before.

##### Linux Support

With update 1.9, we are launching the first **native Linux version** of Brick Rigs. Our goal is to improve performance and stability by avoiding compatibility layers such as Proton or Wine.

##### AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution Support

We have added **AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution (FSR)** as an alternative for systems that do not support NVIDIA DLSS. Like DLSS, FSR renders the game at a lower resolution and then upscales the image to the final output resolution. This can boost frame rates with minimal impact on image quality.
