All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

What's new

  • Added a classic German car inspired by Mercedes-Benz W123
  • Added a classic American car inspired by Packard Predictor
  • Added an atomic era classic car inspired by Pontiac Star Chief

Physics

  • Improved continuous track suspension in tracked vehicles
  • Adjusted the torque curves of tank engines
  • Fixed the collision shapes of tank hulls
  • Increased physics precision on the Testing Ground map (tesselated large triangles)
  • Enabled the enhanced determinism of the physics simulation

Visuals

  • Adjusted the sizes of track plates in tanks
  • Improved the observer's camera view
  • Polished details on the Tank Biathlon map
  • Fixed gauge pointers in vehicle interiors

Audio

  • Enabled the audio volume controls in the settings panel (it was added earlier, but it was visible only in the debug build, so it was overlooked)

Other

  • Updated the project to Unity 2019.3

Known issues

  • The game will immediately exit (crash) if you launch it while SteamVR is running. Please close SteamVR before you start the game. SteamVR will be automatically launched later when you choose the VR mode from the in-game menu. VR mode should work normally.
  • The force feedback of a steering wheel may stop working when you enter the VR mode. It appears that the problem occurs only for Thrustmaster racing wheels. Logitech racing wheels do not seem to be affected by the VR mode. We are still investigating the problem.
