SuperTuxKart UWP

This build is intended for Xbox Series consoles through Xbox Dev Mode.

Install the SuperTuxKart UWP App

  • Install the SuperTuxKart MSIX package through the Xbox Dev Portal.
  • Install all included dependencies when prompted.
  • The package is around 750 MB, so installation may take a minute or two depending on your network speed.

Launch SuperTuxKart UWP

  1. Start the app from your Xbox Dev Mode installed apps list.
  2. Wait for the game to finish loading.
  3. Configure your controller bindings if needed.
  4. For best results, check the graphics settings before playing addon tracks.

Features

  • UWP port working on Xbox Series consoles.
  • Controller support and button rebinding are working.
  • Split screen multiplayer is supported.
  • Xbox users can join public online servers.
  • Keyboard input is supported where available.
  • Config files, downloaded addons, generated files and caches are stored in the app's LocalState folder.

Performance Notes

  • The build has been tested at 1440p and can maintain a fairly consistent 60 FPS.
  • Some addon tracks use heavier detail and may reduce performance.
  • If performance drops, reduce the render resolution in the graphics options.
  • If weather effects cause drops, set particle effects to Important Only in the custom graphics settings.
  • Do not enable texture compression in the custom graphics settings, as it currently causes visible banding in some skyboxes.

Networking

  • Xbox users can join existing public servers.
  • Xbox users cannot reliably host public or private servers because of console, router and NAT limitations.
  • For the best public online setup, run a normal 24/7 SuperTuxKart server on a PC with the correct ports forwarded. Xbox players can then join that server whenever they like.

Storage

  • Packaged game data is read from the installed app package.
  • Writable data is stored in UWP LocalState.
  • LocalState is used for config files, downloaded addons, generated files and caches.
