The latest patch is now live on Steam, featuring the content from today's stream. "Speed" Mode has been added, which adds a speed threshold that if you drop below, you will start to take damage (by default, enough damage to instantly kill you). Modifiers for this include:
- the speed threshold (defaults to off)
- the amount of health removed per second (defaults to 100).
(Coming soon for this feature is a modifier for the rate at which health is reduced, as well as more game modes combining this feature with other modifiers other than the one we have added. This mode may also undergo a name-change so as to not reference the movie *Speed*)
Photo mode has been improved (you can use L3 to move the camera faster, and controller support is now better but not perfect).
In addition a big stability patch has been brought in. The most recent patch a few days ago destroyed a lot of things through the Player-Chosen Options. These options started erroneously turning themselves on, resulting in some players experience random turning on of Reversed Steering (you may have seen this in the stream), or changes in size and clearance. This has been resolved, but also a design decision has been made to take away the ability to choose your own size, reversed steering, constant acceleration etc. as these options allow players to give themselves an advantage too easily. These options were only enabled before for testing. Remaining options are:
- Car Model (not size)
- Car Horn
Favourite-weapon pickups are no longer enabled in this menu either, and will be replaced by a new system in an upcoming patch (you can still set these via Custom Game > Weapon Pickups).
Options to be enabled in future patches will include Player Colour, Hats, and Favourite Weapon.
