A new update for The Bus is now available!
With this update, AI buses are coming to the streets of Berlin, making the gameplay even more immersive. For added realism, the damping of articulated buses has been reworked and a new articulation damping system implemented, making the driving behavior feel more authentic. Additionally, force feedback on road surfaces provides an even more intense driving experience.
Alongside improvements in multiplayer – such as properly synchronized seats and new admin tools like temporary bans – the game’s overall performance and stability have also been optimized.
