Hey everyone,
First of all, thank you so much for all the love and support since the early access launch of Drive Beyond Horizons. It’s been incredible to see the passion and energy you’ve brought to the game!
We’ve discovered a critical issue with the old save system: after driving a bit over 100 kilometers, some save files become corrupted and can no longer save any further progress.
To solve this, we’re introducing a brand-new save system, built to be much more stable and reliable in the long run.
💾 What happens to your old save?
Your save isn’t completly lost. Instead of deleting it, we’ve preserved it in a dedicated Steam branch called oldsavesystem. If you’d like to finish an existing adventure, you can switch to that branch and continue from where you left off.
However, please note:
After driving a bit over 100 km, your progress will no longer be saved due to the critical bug.
If you load into the game and your car is missing, it means the save is already too corrupted, and unfortunately, it’s too late to recover it.
📌 We strongly recommend playing on the official version with the new save system to ensure a smooth and future-proof experience.
To help you switch branches if needed, we’ve posted screenshots with step-by-step instructions on how to access the oldsavesystem branch.
We know it’s frustrating to lose progress, and we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience. This was a tough call, but a necessary one to ensure a better experience moving forward.
❤️ Thank you again for your patience, understanding, and continued support. This is just the beginning — and we’re more committed than ever to making Drive Beyond Horizons the game you deserve.
This is how to switch on the branch:
🧭 And despite all this, we’ve got something new for you to enjoy:
We’ve added two brand-new points of interest to the world of Drive Beyond Horizons! You can see a preview of them just below — we hope you enjoy exploring them as much as we enjoyed creating them.
🔧 We’re also doing everything we can to improve overall game stability.
We’re actively working on fixing bugs related to tires, collisions, and other core systems. You can expect regular stability updates in the coming weeks — we won’t stop until these issues are fully resolved.
