What's new

Player Card Vault (Winner's Circle)

• Have horses on real DOC player cards? Scan the card to a .raw file (the card backup guide shows how), then upload it under My Stable, Player Card Vault.
• Every horse is checked before it is accepted. Most pass right away; a few are held for a quick review.
• Once a horse is checked, move it into your stable right from the Vault.
• Imported horses race normally but stay unproven until they have proven themselves on our cabinets: no Lab, transfers or rankings until then. The leaderboards count only what a horse earns here.
• Upload your original scan. Cards changed in an editor can be refused.

Seats

• A dropped connection no longer costs you your seat if the cabinet can't put you back right away.
• When your turn in line comes up, you have 2 minutes to confirm you're still there.
• A horse card from a different game version waits safely for a cabinet running that version.

Seat controls

• The Leave confirmation can no longer hide behind the control panel on phones.
• Pinned Restart, Refresh and phone-link pop-ups open on top of everything, so the on-screen pad can't cover them.
• The phone QR code fits when your phone is sideways.
• Keyboard players: Escape closes these pop-ups without touching your game.

Stream and lobby

• The race caller knows which game each cabinet is running.
• Cleaner cabinet video, with no more doubled feeds.
• The site menu is back on smaller screens.

Community host cabinets return

• Host cabinets are coming back on a brand-new setup built just for hosts.
• They will play by the same rules as our house cabinets, with horses saved straight to your online stable and Restart and Refresh from your seat.
• A short pilot with one host comes first, then hosting opens to Winner's Circle members.

Scheduled game switching on JP-1

• JP-1 is testing switching between DOC '99 and DOC 2000 on a schedule, so the right game is up when the players who love it are awake.
• You always get a countdown first, and nobody gets moved mid-race.
• Once it proves itself on JP-1, it comes to more cabinets.

• In World Edition and DOC 2000, the Sharp stat's own race effect never fires: a Sharp 60 horse picks up speed exactly like a Sharp 20 horse.
• The Rev C Rebalance cabinet in the lobby runs a build that reads each horse's real Sharp and restores the acceleration curve the designers wrote. It is one acceleration term, not top speed.
• Rebalance horses are a separate, sealed group with a blue RB01 badge. They stay on the Rebalance cabinet and never mix with regular horses in breeding or the Studbook.
• The Breeding Lab can make Rebalance foals, from the Rebalance catalog or your own RB01 horses.
• Copy to RB01 makes a Rebalance copy of a World Edition horse (same name, stats and record, its own card) to test on the Rebalance cabinet. The original is not changed.
