🔥 Get your Engine roaring with the Performance+ Update V0.4.1.12!

Greetings, Drivers!

Even though it's almost February: We wish you all a happy, healthy and successful year 2025!

And we are starting the new year with update v0.4.1.1.2, or as we call it: The Performance+ Update! We took the whoooooole projekt and lifted it onto the new Unity version to clean up the project and boost the Performance of the game. So this update is mostly about optimizing the game so you can either now play the game without crashing and crying or play it 3 times on the same device. Depending on your setup!

So here is a list with all the stuff that changed besides the better FPS with this new Performance plus update:

BETTER PERFORMANCE

• We improved and optimized the game overall, so memory usage, cpu and graphics usage should all improve with this
• update.
• If the game crashed when launching it before, try it! The chances are high that you are able to run the game now.
• We massively improved the memory usage of the game. Overall it should now use a lot less of your RAM.
• We also improved the FPS of the game, which should also now run much more smoothly both when you’re driving and in the building editor.
• The loading times of all menus and scenes should have also improved, especially if you have a lot of vehicles in your garage and you enter the career or creative mode.

MAJOR CHANGES

• 3 states Stepper Motor: We updated the Stepper Motor so you can now switch between 3 states instead of just two. This means, you can configure a second keybinding and a second target angle. On top of that, you can also configure the resting angle, allowing for even more customization
• Bug & King Engine: We added two new engines to the game with a living powersource. There is the Bug Engine and the King Engine.
• New Building UI: We improved the Building UI by shrinking the size of the UI elements and rearranged them to the bottom of the screen so there is more space to see your vehicle
• We reduced the size of the king character, when he’s sitting in the seat of your vehicle. We made bro smaller.

MINOR CHANGES

• There are two new optional races on the Pulau Mahkota where you can win the two new engines we added to the game. The “Panorama Sling” and the “Microscope Match”. Good luck with driving gold there!
• We added more Screw Driver advertisement screens into the game which improve the race feeling to the game and islands.
• Before, you could only play the challenges you already unlocked in career mode. Now when you enter creative mode, you can play all challenges, regardless of how far you’ve progressed in career.
• The Crater Race on the Isola Tornanti was reworked so it is finally fun to play!

NEW LOOK

• Due to the work on the new Racetrack map and the slightly changes by the new Unity version we improved the light
• settings and some of the textures, objects and grass in the game so now you can enjoy the beautiful islands even more!

BUG FIXES

• There was a bug with the stunt challenges of the “Stunt Showdown” DLC. When using flying vehicles, you were sometimes able to lift off, then land again, and this would cause the points counter to infinitely increase. This should be fixed now.
• As always, we tried to fix the bug, that the game crashes when quitting. Perhaps it is fixed now…
• When leaving the building editor while the mirror mode was still active, it caused cars to be corrupted when re-entering the building editor the next time. This should now be fixed.

Drive safe, friends!
