Jalopy Build 06203 Now Live (Rolling And Pushing)

Hello everyone,

The latest build of Jalopy (Build 06203) is now live. This build contains some slight improvements to the AI performance but also a couple of new features.

The images below are from the @JalopyGame twitter account. Make sure to follow as Greg posts a few teaser images and details on this account.

If you've somehow managed to topple your car over into a full roll, you'll now be able to salvage the car by rolling it back into the upright position. Simply click on the cars frame and you'll attempt to roll it back over.

Those who became stranded due to running out of fuel or neglecting general maintenance used to have to walk to the nearest petrol station. While you'll still need to try and get to the petrol station, at least you can now bring the car with you. Hop out of the car, click and hold on the steering wheel and push!

We noticed in the last build that some users are experiencing FPS drops. If this build has not increased the FPS for you, please do the following:

  • Go into the options menu and decrease the AI density
  • If this doesn't work, contact us at [email protected] with your dxdiag and details on estimated frame rates and where you experience any drops

We'll do our very best to help anyone who contacts us on this, so any further info would allow us to work towards any fixes.

Changelog 06203

  • Doubled timestep to improve physics performance (physics now ticks at 100fps rather than 200fps)
  • Can now roll the car by clicking on the frame
  • Can now push the car by clicking and holding on the steering wheel while outside of the drivers seat
  • Cleaned up the car jack so it doesn't appear floating anymore[/list
