Hey everyone,
We’ve added one brand-new POI to the world of Drive Beyond Horizons! You can see a preview of it just below.
We've just pushed a new update addressing several bugs, visual improvements, and systems polish based on your reports:
- 🚗 New: Unlock starting car selection via Restorer achievement If you've completed the corresponding Restorer achievement, you can now choose that car as your starting vehicle in new games.
- 🔧 Fixed: Attachables not syncing properly for clients Attachable items were incorrectly snapping to the green preview boxes due to collision issues. This has now been resolved.
- 🌙 Improved: Nighttime visibility We’ve brightened the night slightly to help you see more clearly while exploring or driving.
- 🛞 New: Steering assist setting Added a gameplay setting that allows players to adjust the steering responsiveness of all steering wheels to their preference.
- 🧭 Fixed: Roads not spawning due to player distance A system now verifies player distance to ensure roads spawn correctly even in large worlds.
- 💿 Fixed: DVD drive collisions The CD/DVD player could launch itself when inserting a disc — we’ve removed its physics collisions.
- 📦 Improved: Looters item variety Some looter seeds were the same and caused multiple spawns of the same item — this has been addressed to improve variety.
- 🚙 Fixed: Towing duplication bug Towing a vehicle that was already towing another could cause duplication after loading a save — this is now fixed.
- 🔫 Fixed: AK pickup removes punch mode In punch mode, picking up an AK would remove the ability to punch — this has been corrected.
- 🧹 Fixed: Brush not saving properly Brush bristles would reappear even when empty — the state now saves correctly.
- 💧 Fixed: Pee not possible when thirst is disabled You can now relieve yourself even if the thirst system is turned off.
- 🔄 Fixed: UI element reappearing after exiting car Rotating UI with the mouse wheel could come back after exiting a vehicle — this no longer happens.
- 🏆 Fixed: Achievements not triggering for some users Achievement tracking should now function correctly for all players.
- 💥 Tweaked: Fewer car parts fall off during crashes We've reduced how many vehicle parts detach during accidents — components like pedals are now much more likely to stay in place.
- 🛠️ Fixed: Difficulty sliders not applying at minimum values Sliders could fail to update correctly in some cases when set to their lowest setting — this has been fixed.
- 📏 Improved: Difficulty slider clarity Added clearer feedback to show the requirement for customizing difficulty is met.
- ⚙️ Fixed: “100km” tire mode wear bug Tires in 100km mode were wearing down unexpectedly — this is now fixed.
- 🧱 Fixed: Pedals not affected by explosions Pedals now properly respond to explosions like other attachables.
- 📊 UI: Added gamma slider in settings You can now adjust gamma in the graphics options for better brightness control.
- 📊 UI: Improved option unlock clarity at 20km Made it more obvious when new gameplay settings unlock after driving 20 km.
- 🔐 Added: Join with password support Players can now join games using a password-protected session.
- 🚗 Fixed: Car spawn blocking issue Cars spawning in tight areas could trap players inside — spawn logic has been updated to avoid this.
- 🔧 Improved: Param editing range You can now adjust certain gameplay parameters starting from 20 km instead of higher distances.
As always, thank you for the ongoing feedback — each update is shaped by your bug reports and suggestions!
More improvements are coming soon 🚗💨
