🏗️ Future Fixes & Improvements

We are hard at work on the next patches to arrive, that being Update 2 in February which will focus on console performance stability and optimisation (though PC can see some improvements too), and Season 6 in March, all of which will have a vast amount of bug fixes relating to vehicle dynamics and modelling issues, network fixes, UI issues, wheel input issues, map bugs and much more. We’ll detail the next fixes closer to the release of each seasonal update, but the longer Season 5 is proving to be worth the time to help us prioritise and fix many areas of the game that need bug reports dealt with!

Rest assured, we will continue to keep watch on our social media pages and Discord for your feedback. 

❤️ Our Final Message

Thanks to our TDU supporters, and although we have a long road ahead, we are excited to show everyone the big strides we are making with TDUSC over the coming months. See you again soon!
