#DRIVE Rally · public-beta, public · first seen
Today we’re releasing Patch 1.5.1, bringing the Brakes Update along with some fixes for memory leaks.
We know some of you really hated how strong the brakes were, so we decided to take another look at them and see what we could do. Ta-daa! Here they are.
We’ve had a few community testers try out the new brakes, and they gave them a thumbs up. Even Xarrek approved it! They should feel better now and give you more braking distance than before. We hope you’ll like them too and feel the difference, especially when braking and drifting with fastest cars.
Keep in mind that you’ll probably need a few runs to get used to the new braking behavior. Your muscle memory might need a little reset.
We’ve also spent some time looking into one of the biggest issues reported by players - memory leaks. This one was particularly annoying because the reports were quite vague at first, and the actual source of the leaks wasn’t easy to identify. It took us a while, but we finally managed to track down the leaking spots and fix them.
Oh, and one more thing: You can now do a 360° spin with the fastest cars.
Have fun, and let us know how the new brakes feel! FYI: Today we are releasing this patch only for PC players. Consoles will receive separate patch at different date. Please stay tuned.
Changes:
New brake.
New handbrake.
Improved drifting.
Fixes:
Fixed memory leaks.
Fixed MacOS not launching issue.
If you’ve been playing #DRIVE Rally and have a minute, leaving a Steam review would mean a lot to us.
So far, only a small fraction of players have shared their thoughts (less than 3%). On Steam, reviews are one of the main ways a game like ours gets discovered and reaches new players - they really help with visibility, especially for a small indie team like ours.
It doesn’t have to be long or fancy. A few words about your experience are more than enough, and they help us just as much as they help the game.
Thanks for playing, supporting, and sticking with us. We seriously appreciate it! Pixel Perfect Dude Dev Team
