Rejoice, Wild Wheelers!
We are celebrating the 28th anniversary of our beloved game in a special way. Years of work have been completed: the game now features a frame rate of 60 FPS.
Experience the delivery of goods, raffa hunting, participation in ritual races, cirt collecting, and much more on a whole new level.
Switching between the old and new FPS occurs in the Graphics settings.
Moreover, we fixed a ton of bugs (many of them have been lurking in the depths of the code since the game's inception!)
The full list of changes is at the end of the news. Our community continues to live and support the game - and we are always glad to welcome new players and creative individuals.
We are happy to meet international Vangers.
