New WAAAGH! PATH with some of the best vehicle and Ork unlocks yet
Improved Host Performance, Sync Issues & Hit-Reg
Fixed Steam Deck performance issues

A bunch of other changes & fixes
Let's get to it!
There's races, stunt parks, hill climbs, skill tests, meme maps and other wacky things!
And they can all be played in multiplayer, providing some of the most fun we as a team have had in Speed Freeks 🥳
The Workshop is easy to use, showing the name, author, difficulty, description and screenshot of each custom map. You can favourite maps to play in Kustom Rally, and also download them to check out how they were made in Creation Mode 👌
Again, we want to give a big thanks to maniac map-maker The Friendly Killa for creating over 100 (!!) custom maps he's put up on the Workshop.
There's a community maps showcase in the bottom right of the main menu where we'll feature some maps every week, too!
If you're a Mekboy who would rather make their own maps, then Creation Mode is for you - providing intuitive tools and a library of over 400 assets to choose from including rocks, structures, decoration, glyphs, machinery and even VFX!
NOTE: you can build maps with other players playing in it in real-time 🔥
Then if you like your creation, share it with other players on the Workshop ːsteamthumbsupː
This video is a great intro to Creation Mode, taking you through how powerful it can be, and going over the basics of using its tools:
This revamped mode is now a gateway to playing the inventive maps from the Mek Workshop. Just favourite some maps on the workshop that you want to play, and then choose them when creating a Kustom Rally match.
Or you can also join someone else's Kustom Rally match if they've got one running, playing their map roster as a surprise.
Playing this mode in multiplayer is some peak fun in Speed Freeks 💯
On top of the massive Creation Workshop features, we've got a brand new WAAAGH! Path packed with snazzy unlocks including:
Badass vehicle kits (really some of the coolest in the game)
Ork Lootas as pit bosses
Clan pole accessories
Paint jobs, rims, and plenty more
Here's a taste:
AWWWWW YISSS -ahem- WAAAAAAAGGHHHH!!!
This is a huge update so we're already a few pages into this blog before the actual patch notes, but here we go
GENERAL
Improved sync issues, and host performance. In our testing we saw considerable increase in frames per second with a full lobby compared to previous patch
Bullet hit-reg (hopeful) improvements
Fixed mega brutal performance issue on Steam Deck. Please be sure to install Easy Anti-Cheat Runtime, which should already be available in your Steam library on your Steam Deck.
Multiple crash bug fixes and general stability improvements
Fixed issue with Stompa teleporting issue in Kill Konvoy - Scrap In Da Yard. Stompa no longer tries to sprint so hard it loses its feet.
Game Browser now has colored game modes for readability and snazziness
Camera proximity fade (see-through) distance adjusted to be universal for all vehicles, minimum opacity set to 20% (from 15%) to reduce disorienting situations
Fixed issue with some some vehicle kits entirely disappearing because of proximity fade. Basically just washed off the purple paint.
Fixed issue with map rotation loading the same map next cycle
Fixed some visual issues on maps.
Fixed some general audio mix issues.
DEFFKOPTA
Hitbox has been enlarged (for real this time), now including the propellers. But the change is not drastic.
Health reduced to 90 (from 100)
Deffkilla Wartrike hook (both versions) now pulls the Deffkopta down to the ground for smashy smashy
Fixed floating accessories on Deffkopta
BOOMDAKKA SNAZZWAGON
Mek Speshul spread reduced to 5.5 degrees (from 6.25)
Mek Speshul Burst yaw range reduced by 20 degrees to reduce OP-ness
MEGATRAKK SCRAPJET
Rokkits no longer explode if coming close to team mates. We don't believe in git-on-git abuse
And get chattin' with otha gits:
-------> JOIN DA DISCORD! <-------
