Truck Mechanic: Dangerous Paths - Atomic Jelly
Hello, Truck Mechanics!

It’s time to unveil some exciting updates we’ve been working on to make your journey through Truck Mechanic: Dangerous Paths even more immersive, rewarding, and adventurous.



Reputation System

Let’s start with something cool—the Reputation System. The more you contribute to the world through missions and challenges, the more of its doors will open for you. Higher reputation doesn’t just earn you respect but comes with tangible benefits. Think better deals on essentials like fuel, exclusive customization options to make your truck truly stand out, and access to additional quests packed with unique opportunities. Reputation is tied to individual maps, meaning that your standing in one region won’t automatically carry over to another—just like in real life, you’ll need to prove yourself wherever you go. This system is designed to reward exploration and dedication, so keep pushing those boundaries to reap the rewards!




New Tools

Next, let’s talk tools—because what’s a mechanic without the right gear? We’re introducing new mechanics and upgraded tools to expand how you can interact with the environment. The soldering iron is a game changer, letting you repair electrical systems to access previously unreachable locations. Meanwhile, the bolt cutter has been revamped to open up even more locked areas, paving the way for unexpected adventures. And since no trek down dangerous paths is without its share of grime, your truck will now get visibly dirty as you tackle the toughest of terrain... Don’t worry, it’s all part of the experience!




Updated Points of Interest

Lastly, the maps themselves are evolving. We’re continuously expanding them with new locales and fresh points of interest, breathing life into every corner of the in-game world. Whether you’re stumbling upon an impressive vista or investigating a hidden nook with something special to uncover, these areas are designed to keep exploration exciting and rewarding. We’re also fine-tuning existing locations, ensuring that every detail meets our vision for quality and immersion. This ongoing process ascertains that no matter how many times you revisit a map, there’s always something new to do or see.




Stay tuned for more updates and keep on trucking! If you like what you see, consider adding Truck Mechanic to your Steam Wishlist!

One last thing — Playtest is coming soon! Sign up for it now and be among the first to try out the new features and share your feedback.

Baldur's Gate 3 - Larian Community Team
Hiya hiya,

If you want to stay in the loop on all our news and updates, we’re now shouting into the void from even more corners of the internet. You might have noticed our slumbering BlueSky account is dusted off and now active. Then our Community Team took the next most natural step and joined Tumblr - because if the gang are going to star in a thousand slow-burn romance fics, we might as well be there to see it.
In other news, some of you on PS5 might have accidentally stumbled into Patch 8 a little early - whoops! If you’re one of the few wondering what the heck is going on, don’t worry. You can roll back to Patch 7 by deleting and reinstalling the game. Full details here, click away. Think of it as a time-travel mechanic.

And with that, the Patch 8 stress test is in fact now live for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC!

If you’ve registered to take part on either PlayStation or PC, look out for an email from us with your game code and details on how to access the stress test.

If you’ve registered through the Xbox Insider Programme, the Baldur’s Gate 3 Stress Test application is now live in the Xbox Insider Hub, for you to download! For more details on this, please click here.

To learn more about how to set up a cross-play lobby and discover the bug fixes arriving in Patch 8, please read on!

Cross-Play

During the Patch 8 stress test, Xbox, PlayStation, and PC players will be able to test out cross-play by either creating or joining a lobby.

If you want to try out cross-play with your friends on other platforms and have now been given access to the stress test but your friends haven’t, you can request extra Patch 8 stress test keys for PlayStation and Steam (PC) by heading to: https://larian.com/account/connected and linking your game account with your Larian account.

Check out the handy video below for a step-by-step on getting set up with cross-play!



After enabling cross-play from the multiplayer online settings, you’ll be able to either create or join your own cross-play multiplayer lobby. Head to the Multiplayer menu, select Cross-Play and create your lobby!

For the Patch 8 stress test, we recommend that console players host a cross-play lobby if wanting to play with a PC player.

You can add friends using the Larian Network by clicking on the + icon from the Create Lobby screen during cross-play set-up. Enter their Larian account username and send the request! Once they have accepted it, you will be able to view them online and invite them to your lobby.

Playing with mods during cross-play:

While we recommend that console players host a cross-play lobby, if you're looking to join a modded PC lobby, the PC host must have less than 100 mods installed on that save and only include mods that are accepted on console and Mac, which are indicated by the “Available on Mac and Console” tag when browsing available mods. Otherwise, a mod mismatch will be detected, and you will not be able to join the host’s game.

Xbox Series S Split-Screen Co-Op

Wanting to play multiplayer a little closer to home? Patch 8 will also bring split-screen to Xbox Series S consoles! If you’re joining the stress test from an Xbox, you’ll be able to try this out early.
Register For The Patch 8 Stress Test

The stress test is now live, and if you’ve already registered on either PlayStation or PC, access details will be sent to your email inbox. If you’re playing on Xbox, you’ll need to download the Xbox Insider Hub App to become an Xbox Insider and join the playtest from the app.

If you haven’t signed up yet, you can still register your interest by clicking on the banner below!



Please note: Access will be granted in waves throughout the testing period. Registering your interest through the web form does not guarantee you will be given access.

  • Fixed a dialogue issue preventing Avatar Gale from talking about the orb to Lae'zel after consuming a magic item.
UI
  • Discovered and available (non-hostile, alive, etc.) traders are now shown on the world map regardless of how far away you are from them.

Patch 8 will bring a multitude of fixes for various crashes and blockers, combat bugs, scripting and flow issues, and more. The full patch notes will be shared once Patch 8 goes live!

Reporting Bugs During The Stress Test

Internal playtesting has been ongoing for several weeks now, and thanks to the introduction of photo mode in Patch 8, our playtesters have discovered new means to highlight some interesting issues.



While we don’t expect you to showcase every unexpected bug you run into (please, don’t do that), we would be grateful if you could report any issues you experience in the Patch 8 stress test using the existing bug reporting form. Please make sure to state “Patch 8” in the Game Version field!

Known Issues

As the Patch 8 stress test is a work-in-progress build, we’re aware of some issues, and have listed the ones relevant to the new features coming in Patch 8 below!

Modding
While it’s our hope that supported mods remain mostly unscathed with Patch 8, this stress test also helps us understand how your mods interact with the latest patch and identify any issues ahead of release.
  • ImpUI users may find that radial descriptions aren’t visible, and some menu options don’t work as intended. If you are joining us for the stress test, we recommend creating a new save or loading an existing save that does not use ImpUI or any mods that use ImpUI as a dependency.
Photo Mode
  • Photo Mode becomes visually corrupted when using Vulkan.
Cross-Play & Multiplayer
  • Some lines in the cross-play settings aren’t fully localised.
  • Players in a multiplayer lobby can lose movement input after picking up an item.
UX
  • Some keyboard hotkeys and controller buttons may stop working after trading with merchants.
Gameplay
    Gale refuses to eat his magical items, even after requesting them.
Keep an eye out for updates during the Patch 8 stress test as we continue working on fixing these issues!

Sharing Your Experience

We want to know how you get on with Patch 8, so we have created a short form for you to share your experience with us. If you’ve been accepted into the stress test, look out for the link in your access email!

And with that, we’ll catch you next time.
