🌊 Physics Overhaul

One of the biggest changes in this update focuses on the kayak physics system. It has been reworked to provide much more stability, especially during sharp direction changes and technical maneuvers. The previous β€œwobble” effect has been eliminated, resulting in smoother and more precise control.

πŸ‘‰ Result:

  • More responsive handling

  • Better stability in technical sections

  • A more natural and controlled feel

This also greatly improves the visual experience. Movements are smoother, the kayak feels more grounded in the water, and the overall flow looks much cleaner and more immersive.

This is a major upgrade that truly changes how the river feels. 🌊


🏁 Online Race Improvements

The race system has been fixed and optimized for online play.
βœ”οΈ Timer issues resolved
βœ”οΈ Each player now has their own independent timer
βœ”οΈ Improved race UI for better clarity


πŸš› Truck System Upgrade

πŸ‘‰ Prevents issues when the truck is flipped on its side
πŸ‘‰ Avoids clipping through the map
πŸ‘‰ Works for both sides and rear passengers

  • Improved camera positions for all passengers πŸŽ₯
    β†’ more natural and immersive views


πŸ–₯️ Main Menu Rework

The main menu has been significantly improved:

🟒 Online status light system

  • Green = active server available

  • Red = no players online

πŸ’‘ Interactive tips

  • Helpful text appears to guide players

⏳ Improved loading animation

  • Gives a better sense that the game is actively loading


🎡 New Music Added

πŸ‘‰ delivering a unique, smooth, and immersive whitewater experience!
