Hey everyone!
Welcome to our third Feature Preview! The focus of today's preview is showing off enhancements we have made to the game with update 1.02!
- We heard you LOUD and CLEAR! One of our biggest requests since release was adding native support for manual transmission for controllers. You can now manually shift on any controller! Xbox: While holding RB, press A/B to shift. Playstation: While holding R1, press O/X to shift!
- A lot of work has gone into multiplayer synchronization. We have vastly improved position tracking of other players and reduced de-sync causing other players to freeze. Additionally players moving at high speeds will now move more fluently on the road!
- Heavy trailers now have a Kingpin for connection. Not only does this add to the visual realism, this also helps to assist bugs with trailer connections!
- Finally, the vehicle recovery system has also received enhancements! When a re-spawn point is invalid, it will skip it and try to locate another point to re-spawn, you no longer will re-spawning on the same point!
Update 1.02 is in full active development and will arrive with the release of DLC Pack 1. You can find the work-in-progress patch notes for update 1.02 here:
