Redhair has released a new update for the Lap Recorder, part of the kickStart software suite.

This version brings several improvements and fixes:

- Screenshots using F12 now work in native DirectX 9, as well as with DXVK and dgVoodoo in borderless fullscreen mode.
- The "Best possible" lap time now updates even if the Delta is not visible, making it easier to track your improvements.
- Segment calculation has been improved: instead of 9 equal parts, each track and direction now has custom segments.
- This makes theoretical lap times more realistic. Thanks to Skeich for the segment setup and Carter for testing.
- Main sectors remain at three, but their boundaries were slightly adjusted to avoid shortcuts or sharp corners.
- Sector bars now turn green when your relative Delta is zero or better, and yellow when slower.

To update, open kickStart settings, go to Main Config at the bottom left, select Lap Recorder, and click Upgrade.

This update improves lap tracking and analysis for all players.
