- Full Changelog:
- Vehicle Physics Improvements:
- Brake overheat simulation has been added to all vehicles. Frequent braking can cause them to overheat and glow, causing a loss of braking power.
- Complete remake of vehicle wheel colliders, resulting in more immersive and realistic physics with proper suspension inertia.
- Camber tilt added to certain vehicles. Tilting the wheels or axles can happen based on the suspension's compression.
- Manual transmission is now supported on controllers.
- Enhanced and modified wheel traction physics to significantly reduce unrealistic wheel slippage when you come to a full stop on hills.
- Modified physics to make vehicles more controllable when close to tipping over.
- Trailers no longer disconnect when going 10+ km/h and when applying throttle you can no longer stop the engine.
- Vehicle Graphical Improvements:
- All vehicles now have daytime driving lights.
- Vehicle and trailer brake/reverse lights now illuminate the environment.
- New car paint material with better lighting, reflection, and look.
- Remodeled wheels of every vehicle and trailer with unique designs and brakes.
- MAN and Scania trucks have remade exteriors, including new 3D headlights, mirrors, door handles and more. Additionally increased the size of their respective interior navigation displays.
- American truck now has marker lights and better exterior design.
- Hub-caps of small vehicle wheels can detach on impact.
- New lighting setup for heavy trailers with more marker lights and brighter looks.
- Added trailer foot to car transport trailer and added a “king pin†to all heavy truck trailers.
- Improved headlight shadow quality of all vehicles.
- Made traffic vehicle indicators, brakes and headlights brighter and easier to see.
- Adjusted seat positions and vehicle mirrors for better visibility.
- Graphical Improvements:
- Street lights now fade in for better looks and improved performance.
- [PC Only] New ultra reflection settings, allowing for higher reflection quality and increased refresh rate.
- Significantly improved rocky textures on slopes.
- Camera Improvements:
- Exterior and Interior cameras are now much more dynamic. Using the acceleration of the vehicle, road forces, and impacts, it properly offsets & rotates the camera, giving a better feeling of physics and movement.
- Optimization Changes:
- Complete rewrite of the system that updates reflections & mirrors for vehicles as well as the environment to improve performance on all platforms.
- Significantly reduced stuttering caused due to vegetation loading.
- Optimized and improved lighting and reflections on car surfaces as well as in the vehicle interior for better performance.
- Optimized render distances of reflections / mirrors for consoles. You will now have better draw distances on mirrors for lower graphic settings.
- Significantly optimised shadows and improved their quality.
- Improved the vehicle recovery system to better detect if a respawn point is flawed.
- Improved the behavior of the gearbox to better detect the ideal gear to be at when at certain speeds.
- UI Changes:
- Improved room selection UI with proper room sorting.
- After a mission invitation, as other players begin missions, their mission info will appear so you can see what cargo other players are taking.
- [PC] Added UI navigation buttons to control mapper and improved its layout.
- [Consoles] Improved controller layout images for consoles.
- Multiplayer Changes:
- Multiplayer remote vehicles now have daytime driving lights and marker lights for better visibility and cleaner looks.
- Complete rewrite of the code that handles multiplayer position tracking and synchronization. Remote vehicles should now move more fluently on the road especially when at high speeds.
- Improved reflections and lighting of multiplayer vehicles.
- Brakes automatically activate when pausing in multiplayer.
- Bug Fixes:
- Fixed invert Y-Axis not applying fully to controllers.
- [Xbox] Fixed an issue that caused the game to crash on car transport missions.
