Hey everyone,

We’ve just rolled out a new hotfix to address a few important issues and improve gameplay consistency:

• ✅ Vehicle weight now properly synced in multiplayer
  Clients can now drive trucks and heavy vehicles correctly without desync issues.
  
  
• ✅ “No Rust & Always Polished” setting fixed
  This option now correctly keeps vehicles looking pristine when set to Infinite.
  
  
• ✅ “Wheels Never Wear Out” setting fixed
  Wheels now maintain their condition properly when set to Infinite.
  
  
• ✅ “Disable Zombie Spawns” option fixed
  This setting now reliably prevents zombies from spawning as intended.
  
  
• ✅ Difficulty preset now correctly updates sliders
  When switching difficulty presets, the corresponding sliders now update properly.

Thanks for your continued feedback — every report helps us keep improving.
More updates and optimizations are on the way. See you on the road! 🚗💨
