From The Team
We would like to thank those that participated in helping us test the Steam Workshop update prior to release...thank you! The health of a game can sometimes be measured by the community that supports it. So far we couldn't be more pleased then what we are seeing within our community. Let's continue to welcome and support new members as they arrive.
We encourage everyone to load up your vehicles to the Steam Workshop. This will not only allow you to show others what you are building but will give people the opportunity to rate vehicles, comment, download them, and learn from other people's creations. It will also help new players as they arrive as they can quickly jump in the game by downloading your awesome vehicles. It will also provide us with a resource for future events and sharing via our social media outlets.
New updates will be out very soon bringing new parts and further improvements. Following the parts update we will be bringing back new and improved multiplayer action.
Below you will find the complete changelog for this update and additional information.
Avast Users
Note: We've noticed that players who have Avast installed can run into issues with starting up the game. You can solve this by whitelisting Homebrew, more information on how to do this can be found HERE
