Known Issues list & Status:

• FPS Drop on certain machines | Update 0.5.3.1 should have improved the situation. Let us know!
• Gridmap & JRI not rendering correctly |Fixed in update 0.5.3.2
• Radiators a little too fragile | They will be a tad more resistant and have better tuning for certain cars in the next update

• Running out of virtual memory on certain machines | Under investigation
• Parts configurator has weird behaviour sometimes | Known issue
• Vehicle selector not showing correct vehicle name in the title | Known issue
• Interior cameras on certain vehicles has random order | Known issue
• Navigator part stays black | Not a bug. Work in progress.
• Setting vehicle on fire doesn't affect thermal simulation | Not a bug. Work in progress.

• Some scenarios are impossible | Not a bug. Your game must be running over 20FPS to be able to play scenarios correctly. Under 20FPS the game is no more running in real-time, breaking the timers. Using slowmotion during scenario also has no effect on timers.

Small explanation in case you wonder why you don't see smoke coming from your car:
-Exhaust smoke will appear depending on the load. Generally it's barely visible.
-Radiator steam will appear when radiator is damaged and coolant is over 100°C.
-Coolant Cap steam will appear when coolant is too hot (over 120°C).
-Head Gasket Steam will appear as soon your head gasket is damaged. If you break the Head Gasket, your exhaust will start steaming.
-Damaged Piston Rings will cause the vehicle to burn oil. Exhaust will emit blue-ish smoke.


If you have issues with official vehicles, try to remove mods.

 

Restart Steam to force it to update the database. If it doesn't appear, give it some time. We already pushed the update, it's up to Steam to distribute it.

 

Again, we already pushed the update. The rest depends on Steam. Give it time to distribute the new update (shouldn't take long)

 

There won't be any steam unless the coolant is hot enough.

 

Exhaust smoke appears on certain engines and when it's under load. Generally, it's not much visible.
