Hi,
The first post-release update should now be live. You'll be able to tell that you have it as it will show version 1.0.1 in the bottom right of the main menu screen - if you don't have it you should get it when you next restart steam.
This update just addresses a few minor issues and requests from the first few days, there are no gameplay expansions in this update.
Here's a quick summary of the main fixes:
- Recent chat history displays when text box is open
- Distinguish between chat messages and notifications (such as player changing car etc.)
- Alternate keyboard 'button' bindings for handbrake, horn and lights - players can now use 'space', ',' and '.' for those actions too - this will hopefully be helpful for those where using arrows + ctrl or alt were causing problems!
- Default race win awarded if only 1 player left after all other players quit race challenge.
- 'Q' key no longer instantly quits a challenge, but brings up the challenge/quit menu instead - so players don't accidentally quit if playing on keyboard with W,S,A,D
There are a few more little issues we're still working on which we'll try to have ready asap, and after those are sorted we will start to prepare for the first gameplay additions.
Thanks for all the support and positive feedback (and the thoughtful critique and suggestions)...we knew that some people just wouldn't enjoy the style of handling we've went for, but we've really been blown away by how many have really enjoyed it.
Best Regards,
SuperSmashingGreat Games!
