Game update

First Pre-Access Hotfix

Bus Simulator 27 · published

Our first hotfix since the start of Pre-Access is now available Version 1.08.

This update focuses on some of the most important issues reported since release, including broken save game files, multiplayer problems, UI improvements, vehicle fixes, and several smaller stability and performance improvements.


🚨 Important: Turn Signal & Curb Penalties

We are aware that penalties for turn signal usage and hitting the curb can currently trigger incorrectly in certain situations.

As a temporary measure, this hotfix sets the option for both penalties to disabled while we continue working on a proper fix for the underlying issues.

For this weekend, we recommend keeping both penalties turned OFF to avoid receiving incorrect penalties.

This is only intended as a temporary workaround and we are already working on further improvements.
