The latest official Re-Volt v1.2 release can be downloaded from here. Older releases will not be available for download. Official releases are mostly bi-weekly or monthly.

If you want to try out the latest features as soon as they are implemented, you can subscribe to the project as a beta-tester to have unofficial releases or "nightly builds" sent to you by email. Beta-testers may report any bugs and help in the development of the new version. Please note that your help will be valuable to us.

Installation

Extract the contents of the zip archive to the folder where Re-Volt is installed and overwrite existing files. This is C:\Program Files\Acclaim Entertainment\Re-Volt by default unless it was changed during installation. Windows Vista/7 users might need administrator privileges to do this.

Since not all WolfR4 features are ported into v1.2 yet, you might still want to use both WolfR4 tool and v1.2 patched Re-Volt. WolfR4 is compatible only with Re-Volt v1.1 with the 1207 patch applied. If you want to run WolfR4 and v1.2 side-by-side, just follow these simple instructions: How can I use v1.2 and WolfR4 side-by-side.

Re-Volt v1.2 does not modify any system settings. To stop using v1.2, just download and install any older patch and overwrite v1.2 files. v1.1 1207 can be downloaded from here.

Re-Volt

If you don't own a copy of Re-Volt you can download it from below or buy an original CD from Amazon or eBay. The CD contains the original music tracks which Re-Volt v1.2 will play if the disk is inserted. Future Re-Volt v1.2 releases will also be able to play the mp3-ripped original tracks from hard-drive.

System Requirements

Only the bare minimum system requirements, as they were listed in 1999 are given here. A better, decent PC is required to run Re-Volt at high resolution and settings.

  • 200MHz Pentium Class Processor
  • 32 MB of RAM
  • 4 MB 3D Accelerator Card
  • 4X CD-ROM drive
  • Direct X compatible Sound Card
  • DirectX 6.0 or higher
  • 200 MB hard disk space
  • Windows 95 or above

Download

Re-Volt is not officially hosted in any website as of now. We will host an official Re-Volt installer after the final v1.2 release. For now an unofficial download link are provided here. It is recommended to order a Re-Volt CD if available.

The above download is a working Re-Volt v1.1 installer, minus the original CD music, hosted at Re-Volt Race. Just extract the archive using WinRAR and use the installer inside to install Re-Volt. It is recommended to install the latest v1.2 patch after installing Re-Volt.
