Hi guys, small update published:

---
ver 0.62a, 2018 02 07
- improvements to spring damping params and global vehicle freeze params, that might have been distorted in the last patch (fixing straight driving), causing some vehicles to micro slide.

Hi guys, this is another maintenance update to further stabilize the base of the game as much as possible. This should be the last of those before getting back to bigger updates brimmed with content. This time addressing possible save game failures mainly of older saves (missing buildings, missing building parts). Here's the changelog:

- Number of ingame fixes to alter game saves with damaged building system hierarchy (it was fixed some patches ago, but some people may have their files damaged still)
- Game should be able to read damaged building data without crashing. If such a file is damaged though, building parts will be missing. This can be then recovered manually.
- If player is within a building (and not on a vehicle), the building can be reset to it's initial state using a TAB menu. This allows to fix the damaged building errors, as it recovers all the building data from the original file. Also this can be used to reset the building and then rebuild it differently even if game files are intact.

NOTE: You will not be receiving more SP for resetting and rebuilding your farm buildings again, sorry. :)

- Added automatic option to fix damaged building save state:

  • If your saved game buildings are missing/incomplete, in the load option menu select check file integrity.
  • If it finds building system bugs, it will attempt to restore damaged buildings from the original game files.
  • If restored, buildings will be in the original (old) state, not fixed - but operational, with all the parts restored.
  • This does not pull back main quest lines that depended on these buildings being fixed.
  • Due to heavily relying on compression and managing large data chunks on disk, it may last up to a minute - please be patient.
  • This does not fix other saved game states. If you have damaged disk file system and main save file is damaged itself, there is no real way to restore it.

Additional

- Fixed calculation and physics params for turning wheels. In short, vehicles drive straight when the steering wheel is straight, and all the different side forces are cleared.
- Better wheel handling in higher speeds, resulting in reduced oversteering.
