Since the big update release we have mostly been working on getting the Lite Campaign V3 up and running. So far engineering is more or less functional again and we have a working prototype of a 3D world map which made it into this patch. Next up are factories and distribution.
We also prepared a patch for you that should address the biggest issues: crashes when exiting the car or engine designers, as well as all fixtures of a car disappearing upon switching back from the photo scene.
