    Just wanted to wish all the devs good luck with the release on steam. :)

    It's obviously a huge deal and is going to see the biggest influx in players in a long time. I think it was certainly a good idea to hold off until now. People have been pesting for a steam release for a while, but the more content you go into early access steam release with, the better. First impressions are a huge deal.

    Hopefully the game doesn't get bogged down with all the shite in new releases, I imagine that could be damaging.

    sorry for a dumb question but where can I find the changelog for the release version? :D Usually it was posted in the Dev Blog and I see a lot of things changed, windscreen cracks, inteface overhaul etc?

    Let's hope it goes well! The first impression of newcomers is really important.

    Look at what happened to Carmageddon Reincarnation recently, it was a rushed release, (even though it works perfect for me) full of bugs and bad optimization, got lots of negative comments because of that.

    Something similar happened with Project CARS and RIDE, both potentially great games but full of bugs and even unplayable for most people.

    So far there was a wave of positive reviews, and the game overall rating jumped to 99% positive :D
    Only 1 major problem that is happening to user is the 'Reset game message loop', but luckily there was a temporary fix until it's officially patched :)

    Wow! What an update! The first big step toward becoming a real game :eek:
    If it managed to get into the popular new releases section due to feedback I'm sure it would be huge for the game's success.

    I think they just haven't released the patch notes for this update yet. Things like the windscreen cracks will likely be in an old changelog as I think they've been in it for a little while.

    We didn't have time to write a changelog yet, so many things to put in there this time :)
    Fun side is that you can explore and see what are the new things you see :D

    Changelog will come in the upcoming hours/days

    All the tweaks to ECA are wonderful. The map feels and looks so much more organic and colorful to me. What a friggin' pleasure to drive with all the
    work done on the tire model. It is truly now a legendary map in my book. The scenarios are a strange feeling, having a purebred arcade style
    gameplay with vehicles that deform and break realistically is really are bizarre conundrum....we've all wanted it for years and now that it's a reality
    I don't know how to handle it!:p Great work guys and thank you for all your continued hard work, long hours and putting up with A-holes like
    me.

    Everything feels so much better and more of a complete game! I also think this was the perfect time to release this on Steam as early access:D

    I think for new people that are buying this game it is a very good first impression at the state the game is in now:)
