    Great changes to the menu music, sounds much better and "bigger" now. Good job to the composer, feels mesmerizing even before touching gameplay.

    Help! Experiencing major graphical glitches on steamos. Deleted all mods, messed with graphics settings, and switched proton compatibility tool. I’m on steam machine and was able to play no problem yesterday. The only thing I haven’t tried is a fresh install but I have slow internet and would prefer not to lol. I can’t attach a video so this picture is all I can do.

    Thank you. I hadn't got around to mastering the previous version. Plus a few extra sparkly bits add, and of course pitching it higher in preparation for live instruments.

    why is there a need to reset the user interface or your general settings at every update?
    why is the sound blending so absolute shit now?
    why is splitscreen so limited and can only spawn 1 thing per player?
    why is reflection settings completely enshitified? why no slider to let me fine tune my goddamn settings? it was just too functional before huh. had to ruin everything yet again.
    why isnt the semi crusher trailer teased months ago not released?

    why is this the worst update ive seen in my life.

    GG who vibe coded this update?

    Weird bug with the Percheron. I can't access the top configs until I scroll up (can't get to them with the pad on my controller, its a if they're not there until I scroll up). Doesn't seem to happen with other vehicles.

    No option for FSR 4 or FSR 3 (Only FSR 3 Custom) availible on the native linux build. Using proton I get the option, and it works however any map other than gridmap and I see extreme visual artifacts similar to what others have reported.

    I'm sorry but the new vehicle selector looks like shit. the vehicles now look like they've been graphically downgraded to the 0.3 version of the game, it's way less aesthetic and not in line with the rest of the artisitc direction of the game. plus, it means that most mods that add vehicles are now outdated until they get a thumbnail update, which most won't because there's nobody steering the wheel anymore

    weight of the new euro trailer coca cola edition is not right. i was wondering why my 670hp truck could not reach 90kmh, but the trailer is not 16020kg as in the title, not 24000kg as in the description, but it is 39600kg on the weightpad.
