Occasionally the ferry saving logic could write corrupted files, proven by log files even though reproducing the error has been difficult. Seattle games could freeze while re-loading instead of reaching the map. Loading is hopefully now reliable, and ferries are saved and restored correctly going forward.

All Quiet Roads - v5.11 Update This update fixes a bug where UI menus failed to render on late-game saves. I implemented " Pause Safety " so saves correctly remember your pause state, and games at AQR4743 or above will now always load paused to ensure safe initialization. Games with scores below 4743 always restore playing or in pause, exactly like you left the game.
Whether on city streets or in software, race conditions can be a nightmare. The issue where the inventory panel would occasionally fail to slide onscreen during heavy save loads was caused by an initialization race condition. I've patched the timing, and this hotfix (v5.10a) should resolve it.
In addition to the usual AQR leaderboards, the new MVT leaderboard shows you the lowest achieved Median Vehicle Times at a score of 4743. This release came out in a hurry to try and fix a problem some are having with their inventory items not sliding onscreen at the beginning of the game. Thanks in advance for helpful information from anyone who still sees their inventory not appearing within t…
Thanks ILYTP & Nicole. This should fix some problems with vehicles that mysteriously stopped, especially in roundabouts and cloverleafs, but sometimes just on empty road!
