Update Speculation thread

Since y'all seem to need a reminder:
Rules (Read these!)
1. Each post must contribute. This is not a chat room. There are other threads for chatting. Off topic discussion will derail the thread and ruin the forum experience for everyone else

2. No random guesses. If you do not have some sort of proof to back up a claim, do not post it! We do not want to be spreading misinformation. Proof can be anything from a developer directly saying something, to files hidden in the game, cheeky screenshots posted by devs, or past development patterns
2a. It is OK to make an educated guess as to when an update will release, i.e. "It has been over a month since the last update and we have not heard anything from the devs. It is possible that we may get it at the end of the week." No "my gut says today." one day then "my gut says today." the next day.
3. There is no need for name, calling, swearing, or general stupidity. That type of talk will only serve to derail the thread.

4. Steamdb is not a valid source. The QA branch is updated daily by automated processes, and serves as no indicator as to when an update will release.

5. When an update is near, absolutely do not spam any sort of hype. Over 30 pages of crap were generated leading up to the release of 0.9, and that is not helpful.
5a. Places where you can't have fun suck, so when an update is confirmed near (Previous thread locked/removed, Tdev posting Europe's the final countdown, or otherwise alluding to writing a blogpost or something) you can have 2 memes/shitposts. Anything over that would be considered spam, and should be removed. Go read a book, take a walk, play Beamng or anything else while we wait for it to be released.
6. Report any rule breaking posts and move on. Do not reply to the post, do not mention the off topicness, do not pass go, do not collect $200. That just gives the moderators more work.

 

I have a good feeling that there will be some skin released that has to do with either WCUSA or Italy. A highway patrol skin, or maybe something like a new delivery company.

 

If the update isn't actually coming out for a couple more weeks I would definitely say WCUSA and possibly the reworked sound system.

 

seeing as WCUSA looks much more refined than Italy, it's safe to assume that could be included. the tow truck model is confirmed to exist, so that's a possibility. The new trailers could also be included. I don't expect Italy to be included, nor any sort of minivan or other car.

 

8 pages of crap over 12 hours.

gg kids

 

And all it did was prove that I was right about the QA branch not being a good representation of update timing.

 

How would you define the update timing?

I would just say it varies all the time.

 

Better than 40 pages of crap over 1 hour like with the recent trollfests.

 

Indeed. That had to have been a new record.

 

This thread is 347 pages of crap over 13369 hours.

 

Guys don't forget the possibility of the updated navigation map for the next update. Tire thermals were also mentioned at some point I believe.
Many things are coming, just be patient, as hard as that may be

 

At this point the thread should just be deleted |:

 

I'd like if we kept this as a final chance, next time it gets this unruly just straight up delete this thread.

OT: That graph posted in the dev screenshots looks interesting. Nitrous possibly?

 

You're probably right.

 

Could you send me the link to that video?

And I think it's unlikely that the devs would add nitrous. It would be cool to see a game that simulated it realistically though.

 

I'd be going with that, there's a slight dip in power at about 4000 RPM which could indicate a switchover from SC > Turbo.
