(UPDATE: Now live for real!)
Hello racers!
First of all, welcome to all new players joining from the Steam Summer Sale! Hope you are enjoying the game!
In the meantime we've been working hard on some fan requested additions as well as a ton of tweaks.
The update is available in both the public and the beta channel. Release notes:
New!
- Added experimental rotating camera (locked to car angle, caution advised. It can be enabled in Graphics options if you wanna try it. Let us know if this is something that has potential, we know it isn't good enough yet :D). (Community Suggestion)
- Added visualisation of Acceleration/Braking input. (Community Suggestion)
- Added square visualisation of spin and angle grip from the tyres (Green/red means has forward traction, rotated squares means loss of side traction). (Community Suggestion)
- Physics are now running at 120hz for a more stable simulation across hardware configurations. If vsync is on Physics are running at monitor refresh rate since framerate is capped in that instance. (Community Suggestion)
- Increased handling now also impose higher air resistance due to increased downforce (limiting top speed a bit earlier). (Community Suggestion)
- Skid FX is now activated earlier to help prepare the player for a slide. Smoke only appears when the car is actually slipping. (Community Suggestion)
- Improved brakes on lower end cars. Limited effect of brakes upgrades a bit. (Community Suggestion)
- Improved brakes on lower end cars. Limited effect of brakes upgrades a bit. (Community Suggestion)
- Halved wheel inertia to make cars a bit easier to control. (Community Suggestion)
Fixed issues
- Fixed Titan being FWD instead of RWD. (Community Suggestion)
- Fixed player car sounds playing louder than what happens in the rest of the world. (Community Suggestion)
- Fixed nitro upgrades "Bob" and "Mike" being way OP. (Community Suggestion)
The special thanks honor for great suggestions in this update goes to Neemulus, Sarky and CombatWombat!
