Note: B190304 is now also on the default public branch.
In today’s first patch for the Big LCV3 Update we are dropping some major changes, both visuals and gameplay related. Of course there are plenty of fixes too, including some to address launcher issues some players were having.
New lighting, reflections, and design room styling.
As you can see we have changed the car design room to be terribly 70s, which will be one of the several styles of design rooms the game will feature era dependently. More will follow soon-ish! :) The new lighting / reflections (thanks to titleguy1) and look of the cars should more than make up for that accurately depicted poor taste though. Now you can design beige shitboxes in their natural habitat!

You will not get the update automatically yet because we have not been able to properly test it yet (with your help!), hence why we at this point reintroduce an open beta branch you can opt into if you want to get improvements, fixes, and... new bugs... earlier!
In order to opt in to the branch simply right-click the game in your library, properties, betas, select the "open" branch from the betas drop down and wait for the game to update.
Enjoy!
Cheers
