  • Frame rate limiter now configurable via text file (See settings/base.ini file)
  • Globally improved and more accurate vehicle handling as a result of new friction code and extensive tire tuning
  • Optimizations for non-collidable pressureWheel triangles

This update is for the experimental branch only.

This update is unstable, buggy and half implemented as it is 'experimental'.

If you are willing to accept the buggy state of the software, you can read here on how to switch the branch.

You can also read this update in our blog.

  • Engine sounds emit from engine nodes
  • New wheel type: pressureWheels: All official vehicles now use this, we will have a dedicated blog on pressureWheels at a later date.

  • New level selector without having to exit to the main menu(WIP, subject to change)

  • Fixed crash to desktop on ALT+TAB (specifically on losing the device while locking a vertex buffer)
  • Fixes problems with custom levels using doublequotes as part of the description
  • Fixed crash to desktop in async shader generation
  • Crash when overwriting .DAE file. Exporting directly from Blender works again, and should reload the mesh dynamically again.
  • Improved D3D crash messages
  • Texture hot-loading failed. Overwriting it should reload the texture dynamically now.
  • Fix for electrics not working if the vehicle has no engine
  • East Coast USA and Dry Rock Island bug fixes
  • Fixed the parts config not working with the cursor
  • Improved window creation fallbacks when using multiple screens.
