Happy anniversary for everyone.
We have been fighting together in the desert for five years now.
Who would have thought that when about six years ago the three brothers decided to make a game together that not many had thought of until then.
They wanted to make a game that works according to their own vision and will not be another game on the assembly line that will then be forgotten.
I don't think even they thought that they would reach so many players with this game.
However, we hope that the wait was at least a little worth it.
It is not certain that all changes are obvious, but Genesz has had a very hard time to get to this point with the development.
Since there are some major changes "under the hood", this update will be available in beta for now.
You will find it in the "beta - Upcoming version test" branch.

Known issues:
- In multiplayer: If someone is sitting next to you in the front right seat, you may not be able to start or stop the car's engine. The error does not exist if your companion moves to another seat or gets out. (This bug is being fixed)
- It is possible that the terrain is generated beyond the realistic limits. It is still heavily under development.
- There are currently no cellars or basements in any of the buildings.
- There are currently no cactus and electric poles.
- Dont save when you sit in a vehicle because it cause some error.
- After this update or later hotfixes, old saves and mods may become unusable in beta.
Please always make sure that you are running the latest possible version, because if this is not the case, it may cause problems in multiplayer.
There are still a lot of bugs that we know about and we will fix them, and of course we look forward to your comments. So prepare for fixes in the next days or weeks or maybe years... :D
We will continue to work here, thank you for staying with us.
Genesz, Gus, Gab, Doc
