Build 22
- Turned off tearing synchronization, this is no longer needed and improves game speed.
- Cleared out beta assets from the texture cache and the textures paging file. This drastically improves game quality when fps is unlocked and also gives minor improvements to drawing new objects on screen.
- Added texture flush on start

Sup Drifters!

It's Christmas Update time! We've got Christmas challenges, a new car, new UI, new liveries, new bodykits, new features...and so so much more! Enjoy the content, drive safe during the holidays! Merry Christmas from the Torque Drift Family!


It's the most wonderful time of the year, and Torque Drift is here to party! We've totally refabbed our already brand new Hakone, with snow, Christmas trees, decorations and unique challenges. We've got daily chase challenges with player cars, and an entire Sponsor Tree dedicated to Christmas! There are some great spots to take some photos in the snow, so slap on some snow boots and shred that mountain!


We know PC gamers have a totally different expectation to mobile players. When we moved from Mobile to PC, we started working on completely revamping the game and restructuring the entire User Interface and User Experience to get it where you all expect it to be. We're really proud to present the culmination of this work in this new UI, which involves a new paintshop, menus, navigation, battle screens, garage, reward screens....just about everything in TD really! We hope you enjoy this beautiful new navigation system, which makes it easier to check out parts, your account, and so, so much more.




The RTR gets a facelift to celebrate their success this season. You can now drive Chelsea and Vaughn's 2020 liveries, just go to the paint shop and change them up!


We know you are keen for new bodykits, and this update we got TWO of the coolest looking kits in TD dropping. We've got a Van Halen inspired kit and a neo-oriental look to go with on the S13 and the RX7. Both are available with liveries, or paintable so you can design your own unique look!



We know drifting is tough, so we've tagged in our friend Mad Mike to help you out! Whether you're a new player or just someone looking to get back to basics, Mike will take you around Englishtown and show you donuts, clipping points and handbrake turns in this brand new tutorial!


If you're an active Twitch Subscriber this month, you'll be receiving a Twitch crate with a brand new Nissan 240z this update! It's a beautiful classic car that's come in the iterations of the Datsun, S30 and Fairlady, and it's a MUST HAVE collector car to get sideways. For those that aren't subscribers, the car will be available in the future, but Twitch subs will get it first! You can subscribe at https://www.twitch.tv/torquedrift



We took a look at the crate system in TD, talked to some players, and decided to improve the drop rates, give out better prizes, add decals to the potential rewards. In case that wasn't enough, we added a brand new explosive animation to make opening crates feel like the present it is.

Oh, and we drastically reduced the drop rate of tires. YOU'RE WELCOME!


Wheel mapping and force feedback improvements on PC! (You can now hook up any combination of wheels/handbrakes etc! Inc Fanatec and Thrustmaster gear). We've also added telemetry output to support Motion Simulator platforms using SimRacingStudio, so we're now one of the only fully wheel supported drift games going around! We're always talking to professional drifters when it comes to fine-tuning this, so keep an eye out on constant improvements as we take drift to wheel!


We've totally rebuilt the world of Torque Drift this update with brand new ambience on every track. You can drive past megaphones to hear commentary, the leaves rustling on the trees and the scaffolding creak in the wind on longbeach. The world is alive, so drive around and check it out!

Thank you for your unwavering support for Combat Arms: Reloaded!

Winter Season, the third addition of season servers has arrived. Take a look at what's in store below!

You can also find this guide <HERE>




As with previous season servers, go to the Create Character window, choose your character, and select Season Character to create a season character.

You must first have enough character creation slots of course, and you can create only one season character per Family. If you want to create another season character, you must delete the one you had previously created.




Unlike the regular servers, the season servers provide special buffs that will allow your season characters to level up more quickly.

Only season characters can enter the season servers. However, season characters can enter both regular and season servers. Starting from the same point as all other players, you will feel the excitement that a new seasonal content brings you once more.
Also, although the season server provides a Combat EXP increase buff as Olvia server does, this buff does not have any maximum level restrictions on the season server, allowing you to level up your season character incredibly fast.

After the December 22nd (Tues.) regular maintenance, there will be five season servers added just like during previous seasons.

Enjoy 4 Season servers for all adventurers!

• Enjoy the regular season servers and get tips from the other adventures who may have experienced season servers before.

Enjoy an exclusive season server for PvP-lovers!

• The PvP exclusive season server will offer you higher item drop rates! It's high risk, high return!

LEVELING AID BOXES

If you reach Lv. 10 with your season character, you will get a Leveling Aid Box as a Black Desert Season Pass challenge completion reward.
You receive more items from Leveling Aid Boxes as you level up your character.
Leveling Aid Boxes can be used up to Lv. 61.
Using a Leveling Aid Box will instantly grant you a Combat EXP +100% buff for 24 hours to help boost your character’s growth.
Other enhancement aid items and inventory slot expansion coupons are offered as well.

That's not all, Winter Season will offer boosted rewards for reaching level 60 and 61!


You can obtain the "[Season] Secret Book of the Misty Breeze'' from <Crow Merchants Guild Chief Manager> Fughar whenever you complete main quests for Balenos, Serendia, Calpheon, Mediah, Valencia, Grána, and Duvencrune.

Use the [Season] Secret Book of the Misty Breeze to get plenty of Skill EXP and grow your character by learning more powerful skills.




You can accept season exclusive quests from Fughar, one per Family.
Excluding accessories, if you equip 7 TRI (III) Tuvala gears, you will receive 7 Advice of Valks (+40), and if you equip 7 TET (IV) Tuvala gears, you will receive 7 Advice of Valks (+60).



Black Desert Season Pass challenge completion reward rewards (and Black Spirit Pass rewards in addition for those who have the pass) will also be available during the new Winter Season. Compared to the previous season, 10 more challenges were added for the Winter Season!

One of the new rewards offered this time around is the Old Moon Costume Box!
If you complete one of the challenges offered in the season pass, you can get one of the three new boxes: Old Moon Costume Box (Viper), Old Moon Costume Box (Swiftness), or Old Moon Costume Box (Valor).

Not only will these boxes contain a costume suitable for the class you open it with, but you can also heat the costumes to extract Ancient Spirit's Crystal - Viper, Ancient Spirit's Crystal - Swiftness, or Ancient Spirit's Crystal - Valor!



In addition, the [Season] Coco Leaf from the Autumn Season is no longer available. Instead for the Winter Season you will be able to get [Season] Morning Frostflowers!

Collect [Season] Morning Frostflowers by completing season pass challenges and from Leveling Aid Boxes to exchange for various items.

You will be able to exchange [Season] Morning Frostflowers for big rewards like Manos accessoires, a Tier-8 horse, and so much more! Winter Season, here we come!

See details of the Black Desert Season Pass for the Winter Season below:

Black Desert (Winter) Season Pass Period: December 22, 2020 (after maintenance)—March 31, 2021 (before maintenance)

1. Once the Winter Season starts, log-in with your Season Character.
   
2. Complete the challenges listed on the Black Desert Season Pass available for Season Characters to receive many rewards. If you have a Black Spirit Pass in possession, you can get additional rewards for completing the same challenges.

▲ Black Desert Season Pass can be accessed from the icon located top right of your screen next to the minimap.

• Rewards for completed season pass challenge rewards and Black Spirit Pass rewards can only be obtained once per family.
  • Any unused Black Spirit Pass will be deleted at the end of the Winter Season.
  • Season pass challenge rewards and Black Spirit Pass rewards can only be received during the event period. Please receive the rewards within the event period as they will not be available when the event is over.
  • You need to complete the challenges in sequence to complete and claim rewards for the next challenge.
  - For example, you must complete “Leveling Up, One Step at a Time! - Reach Lv. 10” to be able to complete “Steel Imps! You’re All Dead Meat! - Defeat 20 Imps.”

Not sure what the reward items actually do? Check out the list below!

• For details about each item, please refer to the item descriptions in game.
  
• Try asking questions in chat group “Lunar Halo Inn” by going to (New) Menu (ESC) > Community > Chat Group and get answers from other adventurers!

Old Moon Costume Coupon, the new addition to the Winter Season can be used to exchange with the Black Spirit to get an Old Moon Costume Box (Valor), or Old Moon Costume Box (Viper), or an Old Moon Costume Box (Swiftness).
Note you can heat the costumes obtained to get Ancient Spirit's Crystals as well.

• Open Old Moon Costume Box (Valor) to get a costume suitable for your class:

Male Classes = Delphe Knight Armor (Costume)

Male Classes = Serendia Formal Suit (Costume)


Female Classes = Terrmian Casual Wear (Costume)


Shai = Kanna's Naga Disguise (Costume)




As with the previous seasons, Season Characters will need to use season-exclusive Tuvala gear.

The Naru gear first introduced in the Autumn season was slightly weaker than Tuvala gear, but they can be obtained during your adventures from Balenos to Mediah.
Naru gear can also be enhanced with Beginner Black Stones and allow you to reach higher enhancement levels more easily compared to enhancing Tuvala gear.

How far did you get with enhancing Naru gear last time? If you want to aim higher this season, run over to <Crow Merchants Guild Chief Manager> Fughar now!

Show Fughar a Naru gear enhanced up to PEN (V) level and he will upgrade it to a Tuvala gear of PRI (I) level (of the same gear part) for you!

Don't forget Naru gear and Beginner Black Stones can be obtained in regular servers as well!






When you graduate, you can obtain a total of 13 Tuvala Conversion Stones which matches a full set of gear that allows you to convert the season-exclusive Tuvala gear to normal gear.
Keep in mind that using the Tuvala Conversion Stone will result in items that can no longer be enhanced.
Beware! Each Conversion Stone can only convert one Tuvala item. That’s why you need to be careful when choosing which Tuvala gear to convert for each gear slot! You don’t want to regret accidently converting a TET (IV) Tuvala Helmet instead of a PEN (V) one...
The converted Tuvala gear will retain their “Item Branding”, “PEN (V) Creator Name”, and “Transfused Crystals”.

Lastly, the converted Tuvala gear will be changed to Family bound and can be moved to and equipped by regular characters.


You can use the [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon you acquire during graduation on a converted Tuvala gear to exchange it for a Boss gear. However, you cannot use Tuvala gear which has a crystal inserted via transfusion for Boss gear exchange.
Only one [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon is given per Family and since you can convert only one of your Tuvala gear parts into a Boss gear, be careful before making the selection!
Tuvala gear used for [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon must be between PRI (I) and PEN (V).

Here are the boss gear that can be exchanged from a Tuvala gear using the [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon.



When you exchange a Tuvala gear for a Boss gear, it decreases the enhancement level by one.
Please refer to the table below for details.



Boss gear received via [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon will become Family bound and cannot be registered on the Central Market, but are available for enhancement and Caphras enhancement.


The Gift Box Full of Memories containing many beneficial items and conversion items for graduation will be offered once again for the Winter Season.
For Summer Season, PEN (V) Capotia accessories were offered and for Autumn Season, the Perilla's Star.
For winter season, the PEN (V): Capotia Belt as Winter Season's special reward. The special reward can be exchanged for "Season Special Gift Exchange Coupon," which can be used after graduating the Winter Season.

Don't forget to check out season character exclusive events going on right now via our official announcements!

Winter Sale 40％　　12/22-1/5

Hey Everyone! We want to say thank you so much for buying our game and trying it out. We've seen all of the articles and let's plays released so far and have heard from some of you both through store reviews and private messages! We are listening to your feedback and there are always things we can improve upon in order to make Grow Big (or Go Home) as good as it can be for all of you!

We are planning a larger release later in the week which will double the length of the game, by introducing a hard mode. We don't want to give too much away yet in terms of what we will be adding, but are excited to show more!

But before we get to the big feature updates, it's a good idea to add extra polish and tweaks to the game we launched last week, and so, without further ado, here are the patch notes for Version 1.01:

•ADDED: Improved the level 1/tutorial, adding text which explains both the water mechanic and the light mechanic and how each affect the plant.
•ADDED: plant interactable highlights in Level Select.
•ADDED: new layout to Hell Level (and further improvements are coming to Hell Level, don't worry).
•ADDED: floor light animation in Cyberpunk Level.
•ADDED: star animations and audio.
•ADDED: assist-mode description in options menu.
•ADDED: plant grow sounds.
•ADDED: win and lose sound effects.
•ADDED: controls to options menu (control changing to be implemented in a later update).

•CHANGED: Slowed down fully-grown plant animation.
•CHANGED: Carried out UI change to prepare for the addition of language switching.
•CHANGED: Level Select tutorial text to clarify mechanics.
•CHANGED: how UI works so that plugging in/out a controller automatically changes control indicators.
•CHANGED: Improved the Level Select UI visuals and animations.
•CHANGED: Clarified input options in keyboard control visuals.
•CHANGED: sunbeam visuals to make it clearer and more accessible for people with visual impairment.

•FIXED: tap not disappearing from Level Select after completing level 1/tutorial.
•FIXED: visual bug in Level Select which happened when you dropped the can mid-watering.
•FIXED: visual bug with window in Space Station Level.
•FIXED: wall visual bug in Hell Level.

We would like to again thank everyone who has given us feedback over the past few days, as well as more generally everyone who has bought our game and helped to support us to do what we love into the future!

Reki here. I like to release updates around the winter sale to show my appreciation to everyone who's playing the game. Didn't have as much time this year, but I've managed to put together an update with a fair amount of content, quality of life, and some endgame stuff. Please enjoy, and let me know in the discord if I broke anything! https://discord.com/invite/DWz6kxt

NOTICE: Linux version will be delayed. Keep an eye on your Steam downloads for its release.


- Added character classes you can get from special fights across the world.

- Added daily quests to level up your class.

- Added a second aux slot. Quite a few of those items, so only having one slot was a bit of a waste.

- Added a new endgame boss with customizable difficulty and random drops.

- Added a character to the top of Grom Wall Ascent who increases your storage space by 2.

- Added 8 passive weapons that have replaced weapon-specific auxiliary items across the world.

- Weapon-specific auxiliary items can now be obtained from vault codes, which are usually found near the weapon they're from.

- Added 8 new prizes for tokens at arena.

- Adventurer’s Backpack no longer increases storage space. Instead creates random potions for you when you collect a lot of ammo.

- The Curse Shrine now gives Curse Sprouts, an edible item that gives you 5 curse charges when consumed.

- Added more terrain to lower Flooded Passages.

- Added a consumable item that drops off a certain moon's enemies that triggers your blessing.

- Added some events that have a chance of happening for the day.

- Added food items that augment your regen with various effects. Obtained from a very rare random event.


- You can now view and select the cards you've collected without having to be in their area.

- Curse Charges now drop ammo when they are destroyed from you getting damaged.

- Chests now open when you open your inventory nearby, and close when you close your inventory. You can still whack them with melee, which forces them to stay open or closed. Splight heart chest is unaffected by this change.

- Monster spawn limit now only applies to ecosystem spawned monsters. Ghost builds should feel a lot better, as well as certain battles against numerous foes.

- “Trigger twice on swap attack once a minute” is now “Trigger ten times on swap attack once a minute”. That’s still only a rate of 6 triggers a minute, which is nothing compared to even the basic trigger types. Hopefully it fills a reliable niche now.

- “Trigger on life regen” is now “Triggers three times on life regen”. Even at max regen, it’s situational on top of having a timer. More triggers per regen should make it more rewarding.

- Passive melee weapons no longer count as projectiles. Sorry monkey build.

- Survival mode in the arena now begins with double spawns, and gets harder every 5 waves or so. Ever wanted to fight 10 bosses at once? It's a lot of fun.

- Replaced lock blocks at garden exit with boss blocks. Hopefully will result in less players getting stuck in the starting area.

- Bosses are now protected against being instakilled by certain things, such as touching other bosses.

- Living Walls no longer drop their item directly. Instead, they tell you how to get it.

- Tweaked vault to open faster and clear the code once it gives an item.

- Nerfed Ancestor of Dust down to 10 luck. Its high luck was a carry over from when it was quite weak in the past.

- Cathedral ghosts now count as enemy projectiles.

- Copper monsters now get double life.

- Eckles are now visible above terrain.

- Golem Chain now holds items a little closer to you.

- Fool's Cannon swap attack now stuns. Hopefully will make this slow weapon a bit more versatile.

- Propellor bomb explosion radius and damage increased.

- God of Rats is now level 1-2.

- Added descriptions to gunner items.

- Attacking heart anchors no longer removes hearts.


- Giant blob daily boss can no longer spam its jump noise if there's no room to jump.

- Fests now drop items from any modifiers on them properly.

- Added a failsafe for save-corrupted auxiliary items.

- Fixed a crash that happened if the first frame of your first melee attack after booting the game hit something.

- Fixed an exploit with Puffing Leech allowing for unlimited flight. You can still fly with it using certain methods, but this one was too easy.

- Fixed an issue with some finishing moves where you'd get locked in place for a bit after changing areas during them.

- Gunsmith workbench item slot is no longer visible when workbench isn't.


The biggest thing you'll likely notice with this update is the class system. Classes can be leveled up indefinitely using points earned from daily quests, improving a stat associated with the class. None of the classes actually improves your damage directly, it's mostly just effect durations or non-combat stats. Nonetheless, they'll probably be pretty wild if you get a really high level.

In general, a lot of this stuff is testing for the sequel to Blessed Surface. In case you haven't heard, I'm making an open-world fps that builds on the character building elements of bsurf, hopefully bringing it to another level and offering more accessible gameplay. With this bsurf update done, I'll be turning my attention back to that. Stay tuned for updates on that next year!

Following bug has been fixed.
-The game cannot be started since the game blacks out after the startup movie.
From this 1.0.2 version, you are able to skip the movie before it runs by clicking the mouse (keyboard: space key, controller: A button) on the logo display screen at startup.
Please try continuous click if you cannot skip the movie.

Following bug has been fixed.
-A bug that the loading fails at a specific timing.
