PATCHNOTES SUMMARY: Community is talking - and we are listening! Some of you guys got some hard time getting going along the road. Now 22h after release with no sleep for 36 hours, here I made a little Book for you with the most important things you got to know. And now I'm going to sleep haha. Here you go:
TRAVEL GUIDE — New book in your bag (Story): towns, road map, packing list, tips. Open it from the right-click menu.
MONEY — Start with $10,000. Crates hold double cash and twice the finds.
WADE — Car dealer now also in TOKWO and HELL-EIN.
BATTERY — Lasts 3× longer with the engine off.
LEADERBOARDS — Records no longer get lost. Drag strip counts ET only.
Travel guide: every Story run starts with it, old saves get it too. Towns with photos, a road map that fills in as you drive, a packing list you can tick off, pages on money, fuel, battery, engine damage, exhaust smoke and co-op.
A hint card points you to the book until you open it once.
Achievement: No Second Chances.
Wade (new + used cars) in TOKWO and HELL-EIN.
Flat battery? After the third click a hint shows how to push-start or jump it.
Oil pan scraping the ground now makes a dull thud.
Start money $10,000 instead of $3,000. Existing profiles get the difference once.
Crates: double cash, twice as many finds.
