Put your ExoCross skills to the ultimate test with a brand new series of Special Events! Featuring extra ramps, jumps, and barriers, this is driving on Proteus like you’ve never seen before.
As if the catwalks of Boreas weren’t enough, our latest Special Event starts with an epic quarter-pipe staring you down. If that wasn’t enough, you’ll take on two mega ramps leading you up and back across Boreas’ split routes. With a little precision and finesse, you’ll make it through the gaps—just don’t look down.

Changes from version 0.4.1.0 Fixed a freeze when exiting the game Improved the error messaging for matchmaking Updated the time server to fix the Special Event menu Add replayable Special Events with new leaderboards

Due to a recent business model change for our current server hosting provider, we have unfortunately been forced to temporarily disable online multiplayer racing support in DRAG.
We are actively working on a suitable multi-platform replacement solution, and we will restore online functionality once this new multiplayer implementation is complete. We do not yet have a specific time frame to announce, but we are committed to completing this work during the early access period prior to the game's upcoming official release.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and appreciate your patience during this transition.
Updated both demo and full game! Added ingame leaderboards You can now view the leaderboards directly in the game. The leaderboards not only shows which input device was used, but you can now load the ghost of another player. There is also an option for friends-only leaderboards.

You can now view the leaderboards directly in the game. The leaderboards not only shows which input device was used, but you can now load the ghost of another player.
There is also an option for friends-only leaderboards.
Added an ingame HUD element to the top right corner that shows which ghost is currently loaded.
Your personal best ghosts are now saved and automatically loaded the next time you play the challenge or special event.
We reduced the ghost clearance so that you can better see whether you are slightly in front of or behind the ghost.
Special Event 15 has just started and runs until 9 March.
It has also been added to the selection of online qualifications.
To give the track variant A-4 some special sauce, we added a few ramps. Now it should be possible to drive onto the oval in the first lap without the risk of collision. We look forward to playing this layout with you in the community races and will make improvements to it as needed.
The demo special event track has been updated with movable containers and tyre walls too! We've completely revised the online multiplayer races You can now respawn at any time during an online race. The respawn has a small time delay depending on the current position. The further
The demo special event track has been updated with movable containers and tyre walls too!
You can now respawn at any time during an online race. The respawn has a small time delay depending on the current position. The further forward in the field, the longer a respawn takes.
Thank you for your help and patience in testing the different respawn mechanics together with us in the community races.
You now get points for qualifications and races, depending on your result.
The championship ends when a driver has 125 points. The driver with the most points wins the championship and a new championship begins.
| 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 points | 18 points | 15 points | 12 points | 10 points | 8 points | 6 points | 4 points |
The race starting grid is now inverted. This leads to more exciting and closer races. It works well together with the points system. Your feedback on this from the community races is very helpful. Thanks again to all who contributed!
| Zone-B reverse layout | Zone-A oval with joker lap | Zone-A reverse short track |
|---|---|---|

We've also added 10 past Special Event stages as online qualifications. Together with the previous 20 qualifying challenges, there are now 30 qualifying stages to choose from.
The force feedback now transfers the correct physical forces from the wheels to the steering wheel. You can reduce or increase the force feedback with the rumble intensity setting.
For the range setting, 540° with a linearity of 50% has proven to be a good starting point.
We're now working on supporting analog handbrakes, which will come with a future update.
The new Special Event has just started and will run until the 9th of February.
There is a live updated leaderboard that also captures the input devices used in our Discord community. Videos of record attempts and personal best times are also shared.
DRAG is easily one of the most impressive Early Access games from 2020 and they ended 2020 in style with a big upgrade to the game and it's looking great. Read the full article here:

Updated both the full game and demo!
Special Event track 1 is now permanently included in the demo, so you can test all the latest changes on a slightly longer track.
We added limited-slip differentials to the front and rear axles as well as a center diff. We balanced the all-wheel drive system for better handling of uneven surfaces, drift and weight transfers.
With all the changes we've made sure that the cars are ever so slightly faster than before, so that all the top times on the leaderboards can still be beaten.
We focused the damping and sensitivity more on the center.
The steering wheel force feedback is also reworked but is still work in progress!
We've added tire walls for time trials and challenges that serve as a visual reference point, but are also fun :)
Selected colors are now used on the body of vehicle 1. The black and white look is still possible by selecting white as primary color. We also adjusted the predetermined vehicle colors in challenges so it's worth taking a look.

You can now use the full range of your wheel. The updated wheel steering also no longer uses speed adapt, which should make it much more predictable.
Although the default setting should be fine for most cases, you can now adjust the steering linearity to your personal preferences.
If the pedals are combined, they are treated as one axis (y-axis). Use this setting and check with the visualization bars if throttle and brake are assigned accordingly.
You can try it out with the containers in Special Event 9. We will of course use this technology on a lot more objects in the future.
As requested, we've added a few additional non-country flags.
The small trees are moved a bit to the outside and the last tree with collision is now covered by concrete barriers. This change improves the situation in online races.
If you have two input devices for example wheels, pedals or handbrake as separate USB device, make sure there is no overlap across devices in the mapping menu. Set functions to either device A or B. If in doubt, all functions should be unassigned except those used by the device in question.
With version 0.2.0.0 we add many new and most requested features Added resolution setting You can now directly select a common render resolution. Use the resolution scale setting below to scale down in small increments for better performance if necessary. Added super sampling set
You can now directly select a common render resolution. Use the resolution scale setting below to scale down in small increments for better performance if necessary.
Use this setting for the highest rendering fidelity and best overall image quality.
Your last camera choice is now saved, so you no longer need to switch to your favourite view at the start of a new challenge or race.
This solves the issue that the ghost in the hood and cockpit camera was shown much too close obstructing the view. Together with the hide / unhide option, the ghost should now be much more practical. A time-deltabar as an alternative to the ghost will come with a future update.
We renamed the steering saturation setting to steering range (now in degrees). This is the central value to increase / decrease the working range of your steering wheel.
The device range above should be set to the maximum that your hardware is capable of.
There used to be a problem where the steering became less linear when the steering range (formerly steering saturation) was increased. This is now fixed.
This enables ffb for wheels which had issues before.
If you have two input devices for example wheels and pedals as two separate USB devices, make sure that there is no overlap between the two devices in the mapping menu. Set functions to either device A or B. It wont work if a function is set for both devices.
The new special event starts on November 17th.
No this shortcut won't work in online races or other game modes because a sector checkpoint would be skipped. You can of course try it ;)

We've completely revised the way the force feedback for steering wheels works by making a new software effect renderer. We also adjusted the steering parameters for wheels accordingly.
In the mapping menu you can now not only set the deadzone for gamepads and wheels, but also the steering range and saturation for all axis. You no longer need to make adjustments in your wheels configuration software.
If you are already in the discord and want to hide the link, you can do so by adding the launch parameter -nodiscord
The new special event is now available and starts today.

We added initial force feedback support for racing wheels. You can change the FFB intensity in the settings by adjusting the rumble intensity. More detailed settings for the FFB will follow. At the same time we fixed support for wheels with separate USB devices for pedals.
You can now define your own key assignments for all controllers and wheels. We also added a setting to adjust the dead zone.
If you had problems with the recognition of your controller, this should now be fixed.

we switched to a new http library for our REST API calls to fix matchmaking stability issues.
new special event was added to the list. There should be no shortcuts, but if you find one anyway, let us know in our discord and we will make a hotfix.
we have added a notification that lets you know when players in your server region are playing online.
we have added a chat for online races. Open with the "t" key to read previous messages and chat with other players. You can also use it during the qualification or in the result overview / voting screen.
we fixed the respawn mechanism with two remaining players in online race or split screen. The race now no longer ends when one of the two remaining players crashes, instead he is immediately respawned. This is especially useful for split-screen races.
